Everyone in China likes dumpling very much, and there are many different kinds of dumplings. Some have meat and vegetables in them, others have sugar, eggs and so on. I like dumplings with vegetables and pork better than any other kind.

（2022·全国·八年级阶段练习）Yesterday, Danny ate lunch at a restaurant with his family. Late that night, he had food poisoning（中毒）. He wanted to know how it happened.

Danny learned about a few reasons for food poisoning.

The first reason is there are bacteria（细菌）in the food. Bacteria live in a lot of food and they live in meat, eggs and seafood most often. If you cook the food in a right way, you can kill the bacteria in it.

Another reason for food poisoning is parasites（寄生虫）. They often live in meat, but could sometimes live on vegetables, too. If you don’t cook the food in a right way, these parasites may start living in your body!

The third reason for food poisoning is eating the food with toxins（毒素）in it. Sometimes the food gets toxins naturally, and sometimes the toxins come from insect spray（喷雾杀虫剂）. So you must wash the food carefully before you eat or cook it.

The last reason for food poisoning is allergen（过敏原）. Some people are just allergic to some food, and they may feel very uncomfortable after eating it.

Danny decided to choose food carefully and cook it in a right way before he ate it in the future. That was important. He never wanted to feel this way again.

（2022·全国·八年级单元测试）Do you know mukbang (吃播）? It is about the eating shows in front of the camera (相机) on the Internet. In the shows, mukbangers eat food and sometimes talk to people who watch their videos.

The eating shows started in South Korea in around 2010 and then became popular all over the world. Why did mukbang start in this country?

（2022·全国·八年级单元测试）Everyone is on a diet(节食). Does that sound funny? Well, it’s true. A diet is the food you eat every day. But the word “diet” can also mean controlling calories(卡路里) or the kinds of food you eat to lose weight(体重). Some kids worry about their weight and say they’re going on a diet. You may also want to know if you should be on a diet, too. In fact, most kids do not need to and should not diet in this way. Why? Let’s find out.

A calorie is a measure of energy(能量). There are calories in all food and most drinks. When someone diets, he or she is trying to get fewer calories than the body uses. By doing this, the person may get thinner than before. But kids do not need to diet in this way.

In fact, kids are growing. They need healthy food to keep their bodies growing well. Some kids are heavy, but they can improve their health by doing more exercise. Being much too heavy can bring health problems, but kids may become less healthy by eating little or deciding to eat just one kind of food, such as cabbage soup.

Now that you know more about diet, you can tell people you’re on a very special diet—a balanced(平衡的),  healthy one just right for a kid!
