A 
Hi Olivia,
You can’t imagine what happened last night. Dad took us out to a famous restaurant, but there weren’t many people there. “An unforgettable experience,” their website says. Well, it certainly was unforgettable! We ordered the “exotic surprise” and thought it was going to be wonderful, but it was the most awful meal I had ever had! The first course (一道菜) was chicken and chips! The chicken was bad, but the chips were worse. Then they gave us “picnic-style special ham (火腿) with strawberries”. When the waiter brought it, we saw little ham sandwiches hiding under some salad. And you can’t believe what happened next. The waiter tried to put the plates on the table, but he dropped one. And then the worst thing happened! He picked the sandwich up from the floor, put it back on the plate and gave it to Mom. Mom asked him to throw the sandwich away. “Aren’t you hungry?” the waiter asked. My dad got really angry and told him off. But he only laughed! I tried the dessert — ice-cream. No comment (评论)! (But I didn’t eat much.)
Next time we’ll take you to the same restaurant. Just kidding!
    Yours,
Thomas

B 

Kenya’s long-distance (长距离的) runners are among the best in the world. Is what they eat and what they do every day the key to their success? We spent a week at a training camp with ten top runners to find out. This is what we discovered.
They eat five times a day:
8:00
Breakfast
10:00
Mid-morning snack
13:00
Lunch
16:00
Afternoon snack
19:00
Supper
The Kenyan runners’ food includes bread, rice, potatoes, porridge, cabbage, beans and ugali (粗玉米粉). They don’t eat much meat, just four times a week. The runners drink a lot of tea with milk and sugar. They get all the vitamins and minerals (维生素和矿物质) they need from their food.
The Kenyan runners usually train as a group twice a day. The first run is at 6 o’clock in the morning and the afternoon run is at 5 o’clock. They run 10 to 15 kilometers in the morning and 6 to 8 kilometers in the afternoon.
Amazingly, the runners eat a large amount of food rich in carbohydrate (碳水化合物). Every 24 hours, they have about 600g of carbohydrate to get the energy they need for their training. They only eat a little fat, and most of it comes from the milk they have in their tea. Two-thirds of their protein (蛋白质) comes from vegetables. They drink a lot of water every day. Surprisingly, they drink more tea than water a day. They always eat soon after training.
Sleep is also an important part of the runners’ program. They always go to bed early and they always get a good night’s sleep.
