问题 When Nicholas Pave was three years old, he ate a piece of cake at a party. Within seconds, his throat was aching and his nose was running. An hour later, he started throwing up. Says Nicholas now: "It was scary."
How can one bite of one cake make someone so sick? Nicholas was having an allergic (过敏)reaction to peanut-butter(花生酱)chips in the cake. His mom quickly called the doctor and gave Nicholas some medicine. Without the medicine, he might have stopped breathing. Some people allergic to peanuts have died after eating them.
People who are allergic to peanuts must avoid anything containing a peanut or its oil. Sometimes just smelling or touching peanut oil or peanut dust causes an allergic reaction. That can turn a school dining hall into a danger zone! Now some schools have decided not to take any chances. They’ re cracking down on peanut products to protect allergic kids. In some school dining halls, peanut-free tables are being set aside. In other schools, no one is allowed to bring any "peanutty" foods at all.
Banning peanut butter creates some sticky problems. Peanut-butter sandwiches are popular. They are a nutritious, affordable food for most families. However, there are many choices for a healthful lunch. School dining halls can provide a wide choice of foods that are safe for all kids. They can even send home suggestions for bag lunches that don’ t include peanuts. People should be willing to sacrifice a particular food if it might save a child’ s life. All schools should ban peanuts and peanut products.
Even if all schools don’ t ban peanuts, Ann Munoz-Furlong of the Food Allergy Network points out that teachers and students should have an emergency plan to deal with any allergy attack. Allergic kids should always wash their hands before eating and should never exchange foods with other kids. Kids should feel safe in the classroom and the dining hall. [br] "Cracking down on" (Para. 3)is closest in meaning to "______".
