Article: More than 30,000 people went to the White House on Monday for the 136th Easter Egg Roll  . President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held the event by inviting thousands of kids to color and look for eggs. The theme  of the day was "Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape." It was part of the First Lady's "Let's Move!" program to reduce obesity rates   among American kids. Mrs. Obama spoke to young reporters about her goal  to get children to eat right and keep moving. "We are working to make sure that kids born today grow up healthy, learn how to have balanced meals, and get more physical activity into their lives," she said. Mrs. Obama said she wants children across the nation to understand that "exercise isn't just hard work, it's play. If you're running around with your dog, you're getting exercise. If you walk up the stairs, that's exercise, But if you're sitting in front of the TV or on a computer game, you're not exercising." The First Lady said that for kids who have balanced meals most of the time, having a special snack, like chocolate, will not hurt." And if you are active, you can splurge   a little more," she said. Mrs. Obama's favorite "splurge food" is French fries. But she balances her splurging by exercising almost every day. She loves to play tennis and she practices yoga. "A lot of kids look up to  athletes, and I think it's important for athletes to share their good habits," Mrs. Obama said. "Kids aren't just going to wake up and be LeBron James. He's practicing and eating right and working out and training. Our athletes can be really good messengers to kids who look up to them--they can say to kids, 'If you really want to be like me, then you really do need to eat your vegetables.'" Question: "Splurge food" is allowed to be eaten when  _  . Yes or no, is the answer "you eat right and stay active"?

Article: It isn't often that an entire industry is symbolized in the figure of a single human being, and such is the case with Canadian aviation and the aircraft industry. The man is the Hon. John A. D. McCurdy and the life story of this still vigorous , distinguished Canadian is at once and at the same time the thrilling history of aviation's progress in Canada. It all began one cold February day in 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, when John McCurdy confounded  the critics by flying the Silver Dart, an aircraft designed by himself, for half a mile over the ice of Brasdeor Lakes. This was the first powered flight in Canada and the first by a British subject in the Commonwealth. McCurdy gave proof of his flying ability and of the development and the use of the aileron by being the first man in the world to carry out a figure  high in the air. He became the first to pilot a flying boat, taking off from Long Island Sound. He flew the first airplane to Mexico. In 1911 he had made the longest flight to date, and that over open sea 90 miles from Key West to Havana. He won the first crosscountry race in Canada 40 miles from Hamilton to Toronto and he transmitted the first radio message from aircraft. When World WarIIcame, McCurdy took on board supervisory  authority for Canadian aircraft production by serving with the government in various senior positions. Following World WarII, McCurdy was honored by being made lieutenant governor  of Nova Scotia where he made Canada's first historic flight. He now lives in Montreal with a summer home in Baddeck, site of his first flight. Question: McCurdy is NOT the first one to   _  . Yes or no, is the answer "fly from Key West to Toronto"?

"I stood in front of the mirror and wondered if something was wrong with me,"Obama said. However, now the boy who used to struggle with his identity doesn't see it as a problem any more, but an advantage for his career. Obama made history by being elected as the first black president of US. He defeated John Ma Cain in a landslide victory. Obama's story started in opposite corners of the world. His white mother was born in the heartland of the US. His black father grew up in a tiny village in Kenya. They met during in Hawaii, but his father left the family when Obama was just two years old and his mother moved to Indonesia. At 10, Obama moved back to live with his white grandparents in Hawaii where his sense that he didn't belong grew. At his class a white boy asked Obama if his father ate people. Out of embarrassment ,Obama lied to his classmates that his father was a prince. "I kept asking who I was and I ended up trying drugs and drinking,"Obama recalled. Things came to change after the young man made friends with those with a similar background at college. Their experiences back in Africa helped Obama to finally face up to his African origin. He worked hard to become a star at Harvard Law School and the third black senator in US history.  At the beginning of his campaign for the White House, few people viewed Obama favorably. Many doubted his unusual background, which left him neither black enough nor white enough.
