The widespread number of food scandals(丑闻)in  China is making many people pause before they put their chopsticks in their mouths．They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean，healthy and nutritious(营养) or does it contain（包含） something harmful that will cause disease?

    Most of the food we eat today is processed food(加工食品)．That means the foods we buy in stores and supermarkets，especially packaged foods，are prepared in factories．Chemicals are added to the foods in these factories to  make them look better，taste better and last longer on the shelf．The chemicals are supposed to be harmless and there are laws that regulate(控制) which chemicals can and cannot be used．Unfortunately，some producers do not obey the laws．

    A producer of steamed buns(馒头)in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be breaking the law．He was adding yellow dye and other banned chemicals to the buns．He was also taking old buns and using them to make new buns．Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten by students…like you!

    Why did he do it? Why did he break the law and endanger people’s  health?

What would you do if a stranger gave you some medicine and said it would keep you slim or help you do well in exams? Would you take it?
Students at Shenzhen Luohu Foreign Language Middle School have learned to keep themselves safe by saying “no”. In fact, what those strangers want to give them are drugs（毒品）. Drugs are dangerous to your health!
“Because teens don’t know much about drugs, they might want to try them.” said Zhang Dongsheng, the director of Shenzhen Drug Control Office.
Now, many schools arrange（安排）courses or organize some activities to help students know about drugs.
Liang, 16, was a good student before trying drugs. One day, some old friends told him it would be fun. After taking drugs only once, he found it very hard to stop. Liang began to spend all his time and money on drugs. Soon, he stopped going to school and started stealing（偷窃）. In the end, he was put in prison.
In China, taking drugs is becoming a big problem for teens. According to a survey, about one million people in China were using illegal（违法）drugs last year, and 72% of them were young people. Worse still, there are about 10,000 drug users under 16 now.
Zhang has some good advice on staying clean. He said, “Drugs are dangerous. Never try them, even if you’re curious! It is the most important for you to keep safe and healthy.”
