Children in England will no longer be able to buy energy drinks. The UK government has made plans to ban (禁止) the sale of energy drinks to kids. It is now asking for public suggestions as to what age the ban should start at (16 or 18). An energy drink is a type of drink with stimulant(兴奋剂), such as caffeine (咖啡因). Red Bull is one of the most famous energy drinks. The makers of these drinks say that they can give you energy when you feel tired.
However, these drinks have high levels of sugar and caffeine. Energy drinks have 65 percent more sugar than normal soft drinks. This may explain why obesity (肥胖) rates have risen among children.
Too much caffeine can lead to health problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness. A 250ml can of Red Bull contains about 80 mg of caffeine, three times the level of a can of Coca-Cola. In the UK, more than two-thirds of 10 to 17-year-olds buy energy drinks, according to government data. "Childhood obesity is one of the greatest health challenges this country faces. We must do all we can do to make sure children have the best start in life," UK Prime Minister said in a statement.
The ban would be used in drinks with more than 150 mg of caffeine per liter. Under the ban, shops in England that sell the drinks to children would face fines of at most £2,500 (22,070 yuan).
【1】What is the energy drink?
_____________________________
【2】Can a 15-year-old boy buy Red Bull according to the ban?

【3】Why do people like to have energy drinks?

【4】How much will the shops pay if they sell the energy drinks to children?

How do you usually spend your free time? Many people choose to watch TV in their sofas, but not Luo Han, a 9-year-old from Changsha, Hunan.
1.罗涵每天至少要做两个小时的户外运动。 His abilities (能力) for outdoors sports is due to his father. He actively encourages him to enjoy nature but not focus only on learning. After noticing that Luo Han did not go out for enough exercise after school, his father took him to do outdoor activities every day. 2. Although he is in primary school, he is good at doing quite a few sports.
Many people agreed with him. 3. Exercise can make them relaxed and improve the ability to remember things. Many students feel stressed (压力大的) about schoolwork, so outdoor activities can help their moods uplifted (振奋的) and improve their learning efficiency. A parent of a 16-year-old showed her support for the father. "It's more than a way to relax. It's a training of willpower," she said.
4. 然而,有一些人也表达了他们的担忧。 They think two hours isn't too much for a 9-year-old, but it might be difficult for middle school students to get this time because they have too much work to do. Meanwhile, it is also too much for most parents, especially on weekdays. When parents are off duty, they need to do housework. 5. After finishing homework, most students want to use the Internet. None of them would think of going outside for exercise. Other parents are worried about the safety of outdoor activities. Zhang Zhijin has a son in middle school. "Sometimes, teenagers can do crazy and risky things. We worried about accidents," she said.
