Passage 1
In this article，the author writes about a wrong idea held by many young parents in rearingtheir children Nowadays，young parents in big cities attach great importance to the care and nutri—tion of their children But in the clinical investigations many children are found to be underweightand thin．The main cause，the author believes，is a 1ack of calories in their diet．
Many young parents feed their children under the mistaken idea that animal food is much morenutritious than grain，So they provide their children with too much protein—rich meat but without e—nough carbohydrate food，such as rice and corn，which is also indispensable in children's diet．
Carbohydrate is a major source of calories for the human body．It suppl ies 60％of the caloriesthe body needs．Moreover，carbohydrate plays an important role in maintaining the proper functio—ning of the body When carbohydrate is in short supply，the normal growth of children is affectedand they show signs of malnutrition．
A health diet is one that keeps a nutritional balance．Animal protein，carbohydrate and foodrich in vitamins are equally important for children’S health．Young parents should fully realize thisand provide their children with nutritionally balanced diet．
In conclusion，the writer says that people should get rid of the wrong idea and provide enoughgrain food for the children（223 words）
