Dale Carnegie(戴尔·卡耐基) was an American writer and lecturer,

boy.His family moved to Belton, Missouri when he was a small child.In his teens, though still having to get up at 4 am every day to milk his parents' cows, he managed to obtain an education at the State Teacher's College in Warrensburg.His first job after college was selling correspondence courses.He moved on to selling bacon, soap, and lard（猪油）for Armour&Company.
After saving $500, Dale Carnegie quit sales in 1911 in order to
achieve a lifelong dream of becoming a lecturer.He ended up instead attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, but found little success as an actor.Later he got the idea to teach public speaking.In his first session, he suggested that students speak about\made them angry\and discovered the technique that made speakers unafraid to address a public audience.From its beginning, the Dale Carnegie Course developed.Carnegie had made use of the average American's desire to have more self-confidence.

Developing healthy eating habits starts from childhood, therefore
it is important for parents to teach and provide children with a healthy diet. DPHSS administrator of the Bureau of Nutrition Services, Charlie Morris told KUAM News, “A healthy diet for a child consists of a lot of fruits and vegetables in the diet limiting the amount of simple sugars in the diet and high fat food and highly processed(加工的) food.”
This means staying away as much as possible from food such as chips,
cookies, candies and sugary drinks, as all children need to have meals which involve a well-balanced diet. Community nutritionist(营养学家) Thelma Romoso said, “The fruit, the vegetable, the grain, the protein, and also the milk, the diary product, so for the fruits it's easy for a mother to go into the two plus three concept of fruits and vegetables or five a day.”
This concept means that there are at least two servings of fruits
a day, three servings of vegetables a day which can be served for lunch and dinner. As for protein parents can make a variety of dishes from chicken, beef, fish or even dried beans to make sure the child gets three servings a day.
Morris said that the child's hunger level controls how much is eaten
and the parent controls what and when the meal is offered, saying, “Mom needs to ensure that the food offered is good food for the child to eat and throughout the day depending on how active they are, snacks(零食) are not a bad thing, so the mom should offer good kinds of snacks.”
When it comes to preparing your child's lunch and snacks for school,
make sure to keep in mind that the food you provide should not only be a source of energy but also be nutritionally beneficial such as fresh fruits, and whole grain bread. But parents must be sure to remember that a good nutritional diet must be balanced with physical activity, namely it is
important that children get outside and run around and play and get activity in addition to eating a good diet.
32.What does the author intend to tell us in the text? A.Fruits and vegetables are good for your child. B.Choose healthy food and snacks for your child.
C. Take steps to provide a good lunch for your child. D. Make various and delicious dishes for your child.
33. According to Charlie Morris we can know that_________. A. highly processed food should be reduced in daily life B. mothers should prepare delicious food by themselves C. sugars and high fat exist in few kinds of food D. active children prefer more and more snacks
34. Which is NOT true when preparing your child’s food for school? A. The food must provide energy as well as nutrition. B. Running and playing when eating is beneficial. C. Physical exercise is as important as a good diet D. Fruits and whole grain foods should be included. 35. It can be inferred from the text that _________. A. Fresh fruits are often ignored by children B. A good nutritional diet may cost too much
