No matter how old your kids are, you can take steps to improve a healthy diet and to encourage good  eating habits.
Tip One: Family Meals
Family meals are nic  for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents  get the chance to introduce the foods to children. Parents can also use the mealtime as a chance to talk with their  kids about their life.
Tip Two: Healthy Snacks
Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what can get at home. That’s why it’s important to have enough  healthy snacks, vegetables, nuts, yogurt and whole-grain biscuits.
Tip Three: Being a Good Example
The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults  they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sweet drinks, you are sending the  right message.
Tip Four: No Shouts about Food
Parents might find themselves shouting at children to get them to have healthy foods in front of them. This in fact  can make children dislike what they are asked to eat. You need to work a bit on different cooking methods(方法)
Tip Five: Get Kids Included(参与)

What is the main idea of the passage?

Yao Beina was not only a popular singer but also an energetic and warm-hearted angel. She  donated her corneas(眼角膜)to two men after her death.
Yao was born in a music family in September 1981 in Wuhan. She started to learn music at the age of 4,  and  she sang her first song on the stage when she was 9. Yao did quite well in singing, so she took part in the 13th  Youth Singing Competition and won the first prize.
She became well-known to the pubic after making some songs for the hit TV drama The Legend of Zhenhuan(甄環传), and the mandarin version(中文版本)of Let It Go from Disney’s Frozen(冰雪奇缘). In July  2013, she competed in The Voice of China Ⅱ and finally got the second place in Na Ying’s team. She had won  many music prizes.
Yao Beina was unlucky to be diagnosed(诊断)with breast cancer(乳腺癌). She had a successful operation(手术)in 2011. She has fought against the illness for about four years while keeping singing, but sadly she failed. Although she’s gone, her fans will remember her beautiful voice and kindness forever.
How old was Yao Beina when she started to learn music?

Yao was born in a________family in September 1981 in Wuhan.

Which is TRUE about Yao Beina according to the passage?

A soap opera called “Tiger Mother and Cat Father” is popular in China now. The tiger mother is  pretty strict with her daughter and the little girl is not allowed to watch TV or play computer games. On the other  hand, she makes all efforts to buy the expensive house near the key school, in order to let her daughter have a  better education. However, the cat father has an opposite view  of how to raise their child. He gives her daughter  more independence and doesn’t make many rules for her. Which one is better, “ Tiger Mother”or “Cat Father”?
In China, it seems that in each family, there is tiger mother and a cat father, even worse, some families have   two tigers. Children can’t decide anything for themselves. What’s worse, Chinese mothers believe key school will  bring a better future to their children. This soap opera fully shows us a common problem in China. And maybe it  is the real reason why such kind of TV shows can get popular.
Whether the tiger mother or the cat father, respecting(尊重)children and growing together are the keys to  family education. Confidence, kindness, honesty and independence are the most important qualities to develop a  child, not the grades. Just like a poem said, “Educating children is like walking with a snail(蜗牛), and the steps  are gentle and slow.”
In the soap opera,  the little girl isn’t allowed to_______.

In the soap opera, the father is called “Cat Father” because______

The underline word “view” mean“________”in Chinese in this passage.

We can infer(推断)from the last paragraph(段落)that the writer thinks it’s good to_______.
