It is part of his global campaign to make schools around the world teach healthy cooking and eating as a must of their courses.“I think that all you guys, should be taught how to cook delicious, fresh food from scratch- not complicated food, but nice, simple, everyday meals that are going to inspire, uplift, and make you and your future families live happier, healthier lives,” Oliver told TFK in an e-mail.According to the global statistic that 42 million children under the age of five are overweight, Oliver believes that this right is more important than ever.Parts of Olivers goal with this years Food Revolution Day is to get one-and-a-half million people to sign his online petition(请愿书) for food education. Along with Oliver, musicians Ed Sheeran and Paul McCartney are urging people to read the petition, sign it, and share it to help reach their goal.In the United Kingdom, Oliver and other activists found that food served in schools was often just unhealthy. The School Food Plan was created to address the problem. It took effect in 2013 and requires the UKs 22,000 schools to serve healthy lunches while making food education a required part of classroom education for students aged 5-14. Free school lunches are also provided for all 5-, 6-, and 7-year-olds under this plan.Students at Charlton Manor Primary School get a cooking lesson in their school kitchen. Tim Baker, head of this school, always believes in the importance of teaching healthy eating, and wants to share his beliefs with students. He says the School Food Plan helped him put pressure on school food providers to improve food quality and healthiness.“The School Food Plan has been fantastic,” Jamie Oliver says. “Im hoping were at a point where the UK can take the lead on food education, and as we start to see more and more British kids with a real knowledge and understanding of food and cooking, I see other countries starting to follow us.”25.

Inventors have issued a new digital running shirt, which has all the features of an electronic tracking device and more.The “D-Shirt” is made from a special fabric(织物) woven with sensors, which record your heart rate, GPS location, route, speed and altitude.The shirt, which is lightweight and washable, sends the information to an app on your smartphone by Bluetooth. The phone can store and analyze data from the fabric, showing the persons route, time, heart rate and number of calories burned. It can also help indicate when the runner is pushing himself too hard and risking the heart attack.“We believe that our connected lives in the future should not be more complicate. They should be easier. So we are developing technology which does not require people to change their habits,” said Stanislas Vandier, deputy chief executive. “You never leave home without a shirt. So we are simply turning a T-shirt into D-Shirt. In the future, the same principle can be applied to all sorts of clothes.”Developers are now working on heart, breath and sweat sensors, so this shirt can be particularly helpful for people in extreme conditions, such as athletes, first responders, and soldiers. It is hoped that in the future, other factors such as blood oxygen level can also be monitored using the fabric.29. Which of the following is a feature of the “D-Shirt”?A.
