A
The state of Colorado has four of the 58 national parks in the United States. These have been judged the best places of all the national parks.
Black Canyon (峡谷) of the Gunnison National Park
This park lies in western Colorado and offers the most impressive views from up in the mountains into the canyons below. While exploring the canyons, you will find that the walls drop nearly straight down into very narrow valleys with snake-like rivers below. Visitors are offered more than 100 camping sites, and a lot of bird species and many animals are native to the area.
Rocky Mountain National Park
It is the only national park in the north central region in the state of Colorado. Elevations (高地) in this park you will find are anywhere from 8,000 feet to 14,259 feet at the top of Longs Peak. While travelling throughout this park, you will find there are two very different climates because of the fact that the tops of the Rocky Mountains make a difference. With 359 miles of trails for hiking, there are a lot of places for camping, horseback riding and just enjoying the sights of nature.
Mesa Verde National Park
This is probably the most interesting of all the national parks, offering an extremely interesting trip back in time to 600 A．D. up to 1300 A．D. This park was declared (宣布) a protected national park in 1906 because of the cliff dwellings (住人的崖洞) that were found throughout the park area, which was once home to American Indians. Visitors can actually walk through these dwellings, and they may imagine what each room may have been used for so many years ago.
Great Sand Dunes (沙丘) National Park
The Great Sand Dunes National Park lies in south central Colorado, about 127 miles from Pueblo. This park has the tallest sand dunes in all of North America, 教育学习+K12

A healthy lifestyle includes many choices. Among them, choosing a balanced diet or healthy eating plan is of the greatest importance. But how do you choose a healthy eating plan? Let's begin by explaining what a healthy eating plan is.
A healthy eating plan that helps you manage your weight includes different kinds of foods you may not have considered. If “healthy eating” makes you think about the foods you can't have, try refocusing on all the new foods you can eat.
Fresh, Frozen, or Canned Fruits－don't think about just apples or bananas. All fresh, frozen, or canned fruits are great choices. Be sure to try some fruits from other countries, too. How about a mango, a juicy pineapple or kiwi fruit? What you should pay attention to about canned fruits is that they may contain added sugars. You'd better choose canned fruits packed in water or in their own juice.
Fresh, Frozen, or Canned Vegetables－try something new. Don't eat the same kinds of vegetables all the time. You can try to eat different kinds of vegetables, which is important for a good diet. When trying canned vegetables, look for vegetables without added salt or butter. You can go to the produce department (果蔬部) and try a new vegetable each week.
Calcium-rich foods－you may firstly think of a glass of low-fat or fat-free milk when someone says “Eat more dairy products.” But what about low-fat and fat-free yogurts without added sugars? There is a wide variety of flavors and they can be a great dessert instead of those with a sweet tooth.
What's more, you don't need to give up your favorite comfort food. You can enjoy your favorite foods even if they are high in calories, fat or added sugars. 教育学习+K12

The key is eating them only once in a while, and balancing them out with healthier foods and more physical activity.
The point is that you can figure out how to include almost any food in your healthy eating plan in a way that still helps you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
【文章大意】 文章围绕什么是健康饮食展开，分别从Fruits, Vegetables and Foods几方面介绍了怎么吃才是健康的。最后结论：只有健康的饮食和适宜的运动才能带来健康的体重、健康的身材。

C．a good diet should include different vegetables
D．we'll keep fit if we are interested in non-sweet fruits

Imagine sitting in a classroom and not being able to see a picture that your teacher is showing. Imagine driving a car, not knowing that your vision is so bad and that driving is dangerous to you and others. __1__
That is because there are not enough eye specialists (眼科医生) to find and treat eyesight problems in many poor nations. In some developing countries, there is only one eye specialist for every eight million people. __2__ He started the group Global Vision 2020, which is working to bring eye tests and low-cost eyeglasses to people in developing countries.
__3__ That is too much for most people in many developing countries where many earn $2 a day or less, White said. White has developed a low-cost tool that teachers, nurses, and almost anyone can be trained to use and quickly learn if children or adults need glasses.
White showed his system at a coffee shop near Global Vision's office in Easton, Maryland. In less than five minutes, he tested the eyesight of a woman who could not see things well a short distance away. He then picked out the correct lenses (镜片) for her, and placed them into a frame. __4__ This meant she could see a group of letters about six meters away. 教育学习+K12
