Eating is important to everyone.But not many people have time to think about what to eat.
“Fast food is easy,”says Sarah Hudson,a 14-year-old high school student from America.She is enjoying her lunch at McDonald’s*.“It’s quick and it is delicious.If they made healthy food,I wouldn’t buy it .”She eats fast food about twice a week.
Now each American eats about three hamburgers and four bags of French fries（or:potato chips） every week.That is 2 520 calories*.A person needs about 2 000 calories for a whole day.
Most Americans know that fast food isn’t good for them.But it seems that they can’t give it up.In fact,more and more people are eating fast food,and fast food restaurants are part of American life.96% of American school children know McDonald’s.
Because they love the French fry,it’s no surprise that children are getting bigger.In America,33% of them are overweight（or:too heavy）。That makes it hard for them to move around,go upstairs and even breathe.They will probably have health problems later in life.Of course it’s not just young people who are getting heavier.It’s all Americans.
McDonald’s：麦当劳，著名美国快餐店名。
calorie:卡路里，热量单位。

Scientists are trying to make deserts into good land again.They want to bring water to the deserts,so people can grow crops and live there.They are learning a lot about deserts.But more and more of the earth is becoming deserts all the time.
Why is this true?Scientists think that people are making deserts.People are doing bad things to the earth.
Some places on the earth don’t have much rain,but they don’t become deserts.This is because some green plants are growing there.Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places.Plants prevent the sun from making the earth drier.Plants prevent the wind from blowing the soil away.When a little rain falls,plants hold the water.Without plants,the land becomes deserts easily.
57.Scientists are growing more and more plants in the deserts.
58.More and more of the earth is becoming deserts because there is no river there.
59.Plants are very helpful to turn deserts into good land again.
