What a great country，I thoughtAfter I looked up “stocking” in my Chinese-English dictionary，I knew what I had to doOn that fateful night，after everyone went to bed，I took my longest，cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already on the mantel(壁炉)Obviously，the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa characterI woke up before everyone else on Christmas Day and ran to the fireplaceTo make a sob story short，I was hit with the reality of an empty sock and the biggest lie ever toldI burst into tears，quickly took down the sock，and stuffed it in the back of a drawerSanta was deadEvery December since then，the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up，and I would amuse my friends with my poor-little-me storyI had to make it as funny as possible，or else I would cryHow could I know that Santa was just late? Nine years ago，on Christmas Eve，an older man with a white beard and a red cap knocked on my front doorHe said，“Ive been looking for you for twenty-five years” He handed me a bulging red stocking，winked，and leftOn top of the stocking was a cardIt read: “For BeckyI may have missed you in the second grade，but youve always lived in my heartSanta”Through tear-blurred eyes，I recognized the handwriting of Jill，a friend I had met just two months beforeI later discovered that the older man was her fatherJill had seen the hurt little girl underneath the thirty-something woman and decided to do something about itSo now I believe that Santa is realI dont mean the twinkle-eyed character of childrens mythology(神话) or the creation of American holiday marketersThose Santas annoy and sadden meI believe in the Santa Claus that live inside good and thoughtful peopleThis Santa does not return to the North Pole after a crazy delivery but lives each day purposefully，really listens to friends，and

effects of such programs，the findings suggest that such programs might help children develop long-lasting healthy habitsThis research comes at a time when childhood obesity（肥胖） rates have been rising rapidlyMore than one-third of adolescents in the United States were obese in 2012，according to the USCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)This trend has been caused，at least in part，by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s，according to background information in the studyCooking education programs，such as Food Explorers，teach children about new healthy foods and how to prepare themThey also stress the importance of eating five fruits and vegetables every dayA volunteer parent explains a new food to the group，and the kids make something based on the lesson，such as fruit or vegetable saladDepending on the program，kids may be sent home with information about healthy foods to bring to their parents，the review explainedThe study team reviewed eight other studies that tested different types of cooking education programsChildren in these classes were between 5 and 12 years old，according to the reviewThe goal of the study team was to learn more about developing an efficient program to encourage healthy food choices that last a lifetimeThe study found that it is particularly important to expose kids to healthy foods on a number of occasionsThis makes them feel comfortable with the new foods，which helps them build healthy habitsThe study stressed the importance of getting parents involved in（参与） their childrens eating habitsParents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achieve similar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals at homeChildren are more comfortable at home，which makes them more receptive to new foods because they will make the connection to a positive experience1What can we infer from the second paragraph?AEating out frequently causes
