‘Feed Me Better'
When British TV chef Jamie Oliver launched his‘Feed Me Better'campaign in 2004 in schools in the Greenwich area of London with the aim of improving the diet of British schoolchildren,some people were skeptical about the impact it would have.Oliver's highly-publicized television campaign to improve school lunches led to dramatic changes in the meals offered to pupils in the Greenwich schools.In order to achieve his aim Oliver needed to show schools how to swap（交换）cheap processed meals , which were high in saturated fat（饱和脂肪）,salt , and sugar , for healthier options.
Now,research at the Institute for Social and Economic Research(ISER)has shown that Oliver's experiment did not only help pupils eat more healthily,it also resulted in them performing better at school in English and Science and in helping schools reduce their rates of absenteeism（缺勤）.The ISER study, carried out by Michele Belol and Jonathan James,showed"substantial"positive effects,with the performance of 1 1 -year-old pupils eating Oliver's meals improving by up to 8% in Science and by as much as 6% in English.In addition,the number of children having authorized absences for sickness since 2004 showed a 14% decrease.
The ISER study analysed the academic test results of more than 13,000 children in Greenwich between 2002 and 2007 to evaluate the impact of Oliver's healthier meals on school performance.Pupils who sat exams in 2006-2007 had been on the new diet for at least 12 months,and the researchers found that the number of pupils reaching higher levels of achievement had clearly risen.The study also compared the results of the schools in Greenwich with those of pupils of the same age in seven other London areas who did not eat the meals created by Oliver.The researchers were surprised by the speed of improvements in the Greenwich pupils.They could find no other explanation for the results except for the healthier and more nutritious meals created by Oliver.
Commenting on ISER's findings,Oliver said he felt the research proved that he was right in his decision to remove fatty processed food and replace it with nutrient-rich（营养的）foods such as coconut （椰子）,fish, and broccoli（花椰菜）.He commented that “we could see that it made them calmer and therefore able to learn”.
The ISER did not do a comparative study on the impact of the new diet.

When We Are Asleep
Everyone dreams,but some people never recall their dreams,or do so very rarely.
Other people always wake up with vivid recollections（记忆）of their dreams, though they
forget them very quickly.In an average night of eight hours' sleep,an average adult will
dream for around one hundred minutes,probably having three to five dreams,each lasting
from ten to thirty minutes.
Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which
measures the electrical waves in the brain.During dreaming,these waves move more
quickly.Breathing and pulse rate also increase,and there are rapid eye movements under
the lids，just as though the dreamer were really looking at moving objects.These signs of
dreaming have been detected in all mammals（哺乳动物）studied, including dogs,
monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles（爬行动物）.This period
of sleep is called the"D"state.Babies experience the"D"state for around 50%of their
sleep;the period reduces to around 25%by the age of 10.
Dreams take the form of stories,but they may be strange and with incidents not
connected,which make little sense.Dreams are seldom without people in them and they
are usually about people we know.One estimate says that two-thirds of the"cast"of our
dream dramas are friends and relations.Vision seems an essential part of dreams,except
for people blind from birth.Sound and touch are senses also often aroused,but smell and
taste are not frequently involved.In"normal"dreams,the dreamer may be taking part,or
be only an observer. But he or she cannot control what happens in the dream.
However,the dreamer does have control over one type of dream.This type of dream is
called a "lucid"（清醒的）dream. Not everyone is a lucid dreamer. Some people are
occasional lucid dreamers.Others can dream lucidly more or less all the time.In a lucid
dream,the dreamer knows that he is dreaming.
In a lucid dream we can use Morse code to communicate with others.

When Teen Dating Turns Abusive and Violent
When teens start dating,parents' worries grow.__________(46)Nearly 10 percent of teenagers experience some form of violence in their dating relationships,according to the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dating violence encompasses physical,emotional and sexual abuse,the CDC notes.___________ (47)A study in the January issue of Pediatrics found that teens who had experienced dating violence were more likely to binge drink,smoke,have depression symptoms,think about suicide and experience additional intimate partner violence than were their peers who'd never experienced dating violence.
Often,though,abusive behavior starts with teasing and name-calling,which teens may see as a normal part of a relationship but which,according to the CDC,can lead to more serious violence, such as hitting or rape.
Nancy Diaz,a domestic violence consultant who has provided services to Outreach in New York City,said that when she explains verbal abuse to teens,many think it's just normal conversation. __________(48) "It's the cycle of violence,"Diaz said.
If a teen girl slaps a teen boy,the boy often says it's not abuse because it doesn't hurt,but Diaz explains that it is._________(49)"That's rape,but the girls don't think of it as rape,"Diaz said.
For parents,protection starts with knowing the person their teen is dating."Invite them in,or offer to drive them somewhere," Diaz said."Just make sure you know who they're connecting with."__________(50)"Look for sores,bruises or scratches,and check out what they're doing on social media like Facebook."
________（50）
A.Often their own mothers,who may be young,have spoken to them in just that way.
B.Beyond the immediate effects of violent relationships,longer-range impacts loom.
C.She said that some gangs initiate girls by forcing them to have sex with all of the gang's members.
D.Many violent relationships bring much physical harm.
E.Discovering that abuse is occurring can be hard,but"watch out for social isolation,with-drawal from friends and activities,"Diaz said.
F.Experts say that dating violence should be on their list of concerns.
