But what
27、teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating. According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, far too many young people in the UK between the ages of 4 and 18 consume too much fat, sugar and salt in their diet. Meanwhile, their intake of fibre, iron and calcium (钙) is too
28、 low.For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yogurt and cheese, is important as calcium is completely necessary for the development of healthy, strong bones. Similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young, rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread,
29、 green vegetables, and dried fruit are also recommended.It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can be formed, so it is vital that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. In 2005, and in an attempt to change eating habits and open teenagers minds to new tastes, the

35、ucers claim for it, the first step is to give the warranty，or any other records which might help, to the store of purchase. This action will often produce results. However, if not, there are various means to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager.
36、In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes their complaint, the faster they can expect a settlement. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming they have a just claim. Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the store, it is ac
37、ceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter. Complaining is usually most effective when done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate the problem with the item. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what
38、is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work.” The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer. If so, the consumer should state the complaint as politely
39、 and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. They can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to an organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.答案：1satisfied2.helpful/useful3.seriously4.faster/s
