Luo Zhijie, 14, usually has lunch with his classmates in their dining hall at Tangwai Junior High School in Shanghai. But the other day, a newcomer joined them — the school principal (校长). They talked about the food the dining hall offers and had a nice talk.
Many students across China are also eating with their principals these days. The Chinese government made a new food safety regulation (安全规定) to make sure that students eat better and safer food in schools. The regulation started on April 1, 2019. It asks those who run schools to eat with students in their dining halls. Parents can also join in.
Luo’s school has some seats for school managers (管理者) to sit on and they can eat with students. After talking with the students, the managers have to write reports and give good ideas to the workers in their dining hall. “It helps us offer healthier and tastier food to students,” said the principal of Luo’s school. After eating with his students, he found that the food in their dining hall wasn’t very good. He also found that his students ate lots of meat and few vegetables. “We are thinking about how to change (改变) the dishes and make our students eat more healthily,” he said.
Liu Haoxuan, 14, from Beijing Dayu School, said he found some changes after the regulation went into his school. “Some of the unpopular dishes are gone. Some of the other dishes taste better!” he said. “I hope our school keeps on changing the dishes.”

六、信息摘录 (10分)
Starting a book club is easy—all you need is to love reading. Here's how to get off to a flying start.
When you set up your book club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family, or those you know through various activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many can make it difficult to make discussions.
Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet—usually clubs meet monthly. Pick a regular date and stick with it. That way, members can easily plan for it. Send out e-mails a week before the meeting to give people a written reminder. Set the length of meeting time. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick.
Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants are all good meeting places. For many clubs, home is the best place as it's quiet. And noisy public(公共的) places can make talking less relaxing and comfortable. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle of drink, it can help start conversations.
Please don't forget the most important thing—the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Fiction Non-fiction Your club can choose books in different ways. You can take turns to recommend books. Let everyone vote on what books to read. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun.
After all this has been decided, your book club is ready. Now, it's time to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading.
How to start a book club
1_____ members You can include those who love to read. Size matters: seven to ten people are enough for discussion.
