16.School meals are junk and don't provide the nutrition a body needs to grow,says Jamie Oliver,and he decides to do something about it.Schoolchildren in France who eat school dinners are likely to have a well-balanced,four-course meal with fresh ingredients (成分) costing up to£1.10 to make.ButBritish schoolchildren are fed mainly cheap-processed meat,frozen pizzas and potato smiley faces,costing on average just 37 pence per meal.
In fact the money spent on school dinners is so small that schools can afford only what some people describe as junk food rather than fresh natural ingredients.This means that their meals don't provide the nutrients and goodness children's bodies need to develop properly.No wonder there's growing concern about the health of the nation's schoolchildren.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was so concerned about school dinners that he decided to try to improve them by teaming up with the kitchen staff at Kidbrooke School in Grenwich.He took a lot of time to learn how to get the kids to stop eating the junk and move to healthy food.This is not easy!But it is possible with some hard work and determination!After a lot of hard work from both Jamie and the school's cooks,Kidbrooke is now serving some of the best school food in Britain.The menu includes fresh butcher's sausages with creamy mash and onion gravy,chilli corn with basmati rice and fresh fruit salad.Incredibly,Jamie and the staff managed to create this healthier menu with the same 37 pence budget.But the school chefs admit cooking healthy food isn't as easy as simply putting burgers and chips in the oven.
Then came the good news!The government has promised to spend£280 million to improve school dinners across the country.Well done Jamie!This means that die national average cost will rise from 37p to 50p in primary schools and from 37p to 60p in secondary schools.

點評 1、要想做好科普英語閱讀理解題,同學們就要注意平時多讀科普知識類文章,學習科普知識,積累常見的科普詞匯,從根本上提高科普英語的閱讀能力.
2、要熟悉科普類文章的結構特點.科普類文章一般由標題(Head line),導語(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主體(Main body)和結尾(End)五部分構成.標題是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根據歷年的高考情況來看,這類閱讀理解材料一般不給標題,而要同學們選擇標題.導語一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一個事實的起因.主體則對導語概括的事實進行詳細敘述,這一部分命題往往最多,因此,閱讀時,同學們要把這部分作為重點.結尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并與導語相呼應,命題者常在此要設計一道推理判斷題.
3、在進行推理判斷時,同學們一定要以閱讀材料所提供的科學事實為依據,同時所得出的結論還應符合基本的科普常識.
