How many calories are there in every meal you eat? That seems like a difficult question to answer. But students

at Aitkin High School in the United States can easily answer it now. They put what they eat into an online calorie

counter

（计算器）

. It quickly measures the amount of calories in their meals.

In fact, this is part of the school’s health class. It includes heart health, nutrition and fitness. Students can learn

basic knowledge about fats, proteins, calories and sugar.

Students learn how to balance calories in and out. They will know what happens when the balance isn’t there.

“The online calorie counter has turned out to be a cool tool to help you make healthy choices. Making one healthy

eating decision can really make a difference.” Adam Carlson, the teacher in charge, told local newspaper Aitkin

Independent Age.

They also discus good ways to burn calories in the gym. According to Carlson, the gym is a great place to burn

calories and get stronger. But it doesn’t work for everyone. So they try to find different workout tips. “I’m trying hard

to teach the students that working out can be fun, challenging, and doesn’t need to take hours out of the day,” she said.

The class has indeed changed students. “I am now watching what I am eating and pay attention to the food

labels,” said seventh

-

grader Karena Burgstaler. Another student James Erickson began to control his sugar input

because it almost went over his daily calorie intake goal.

You may have seen many pumpkins in posters and TV shows recently since Halloween came on October 31.

Lanterns made of pumpkins, also known as jack

-

-

lanterns, are often seen during Halloween. Many people in

the U.S. like to make them and put them in front of their houses. People hollow out

（挖空）

a pumpkin, carve a face

on one side and place a candle inside to make the pumpkin glow. The lanterns can look funny or scary.

This is not the only way in which pumpkins are part of American culture.

During the Thanksgiving holiday, pumpkin pie is a common food. It is made from pumpkins and has some

delicious spices to give it a nice flavor. People often put some cream on top of it before serving it. It is one of my

favorite things to eat during Thanksgiving.

There is also “pumpkin chucking”. It’s a competition where people build machines to throw pumpkins through

the air. The person whose pumpkin flies the farthest wins the competition. The world record for pumpkin chucking

was set in Utah in 2010. The distance for that world record was about 1.69 kilometers!

Finally, there are also pumpkin growing contests. For these contests, farmers try to grow the biggest pumpkins

they can. The person who has the biggest pumpkin will win the first prize.

Hollywood is still seen as a “man’s world”, but one woman is doing her best to change that.

In May, 2017, U.S. director Sofia Coppola,46,became the second woman in the history of the Cannes Film

Festival to win the Best Director Award for her movie The

Beguiled

. The last time a woman won the award was 56

years ago.

Coppola seemed to be born for a career in film. Her father is Francis Ford Coppola, who directed the famous

movie The God father. Coppola first appeared as a, baby boy, Michael, in

The God father

.

However, it didn’t make her path to success easier. Instead, she grew up in the shadow of her father. People often

criticized her for nepotism

（裙带关系）

and bad acting. She was named the “Worst Supporting Actress

（配角）

” and

“Worst New Star” at the 1990 Golden Raspberry Awards for her acting in The God father Part III.

After that, she turned to directing

-

what she really wanted to do all along. Her first film

Lick the Star

came out in

1998. And

Lost in Translation

soon won her an Academy Award in 2003. She gradually became famous for films

focusing on women. “I just think, half the world is female,” she told

. She makes films with these females in

mind. From the cute Lisbon girls in the Virgin Suicides to the teen queen Marie Antoinette, Coppola brings us into the

amazing worlds of girls, rather than simply showing them as stupid, unimportant or useless, Deviant World noted.

8. Sofia Coppola directed the following movies except ________.

A

The God father

C. Virgin Suicides

B. The Beguiled

D. Lick the Star

9. How old was Coppola when she won an Academy Award?
