Children and teenagers who spend lots of time in front of screens---especially T

题型:不详难度:来源:
Children and teenagers who spend lots of time in front of screens---especially TVs---are   easier to get more weight as they grow, according to a new study.
The findings agree with the research suggesting all that inactive sitting and always watching   advertisements may lead to poor eating habits.
Researchers used results from a long-term study of children who took part in the surveys every two years. Children were between ages 9 and 16 when the study started. Out of 4,300 girls in the   study, 17 percent were overweight or obese(肥胖的). Twenty-four percent of the 3,500 boys   were also above a healthy weight.
The surveys included questions about their height and weight as well as how much time they spent watching TV and DVDs and playing computer and video games.
From one survey to the next, each one-hour increase in children’s daily TV watching was in connection with an increase of about 0.1 points on a body mass index (BMI)(体质指数), which measures weight in connection with height. There’s an increase of about half a pound in weight per extra hour of TV.
“The weight of the evidence is so strong that television watching is connected with unhealthy changes in weight among youth,” says Jennifer Falbe, who led the study while at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.
“It"s important for parents to know that all the obesity-causing(引起肥胖的)screens really should be limited in their children"s lives.” Falbe says. “When children watch TV, there are many food advertisements on TV that might lead them to eat a cookie or drink a soft drink.” What"s more, she says, “they can get into a hibernating(冬眠) state on the sofa, even if children are sitting down while playing a computer game.”
小题1:Which of the following statements can be the best title for the text?
A.A new study on screens.
B.TVs do harm to children.
C.The less TV time, the fatter.
D.Too much screen time leads to obesity.
小题2: How many children took part in the study?
A.4,300B.3,500
C.7,800D.9,800
小题3:According to the study, one extra hour screen time will cause children about ______ pound
fatter.
A.0.1B.0.5
C.0.3D.0.7
小题4:According to Falbe , what should parents do to stop children getting fat?
A.Limiting the time of children watching TV.
B.Buying children food advertised on TV.
C.Not allowing children to watch TV.
D.Encouraging children to play computer games.

     Teaching kids to fish sometimes puzzles us parents. Now I"d like to give you a few tips.
     First of all, start them young. Get them in a boat, or on the bank at as early an age as you possibly can.
This means paying close attention to their safety. Whatever you do, DON"T plan on any fishing yourself.
If fishing is going to happen, the fishing will be done by the kids with your help! This lets you pay attention
to them and not ignore (忽略) them while you fish.
     Next, choose places where you can catch a lot of fish easily. At this point, it doesn"t matter what kind
or how big; just make sure they can catch some. A small child"s patience (耐心) is very short, and waiting
30 minutes for a bite will turn them off in a hurry. You may need to go to a small pond (池塘) where the
fish are dying to eat bread balls. Any type of fish will do. Remember, this is for them, not for you. 
    Cheer for every fish they catch as they fish. Take pictures. And if it"s possible, take some home. Let the
child help you clean with a table knife, so he can"t get hurt.
     Make sure he makes and sees the connection from catching to cleaning to cooking. Let him see the fish
cooking, and talk about how good they are. Then when it"s ready, make sure you talk proudly about the fact
that he or she has caught these fish, and "aren"t they good?"
    In this way, I"m sure your kids will be interested in fishing and good at fishing.

Dear Michelle,
    My mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late, and she curses (咒骂).
I love her but I am ashamed of her. I do not want to bring my friends home because she does not act like any
of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another
family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18. What am I supposed to do until then?
                                                                                                                     Prisoner of a Crazy House
Dear 7th Grader,
    I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you get
older and mature.
    While it is true that your mother"s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want
to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser. I am
guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way
and keep away from your mother"s habits. 
    At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer social service on
weekends and visit your friends at their homes.
    Fortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. But
they develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher or guidance advisor
who makes all the difference!
    Do it, Miss Winning 13 years old, and keep looking forward to your own future. Maybe by then your
mother may even see the light and realize how good you really are.
                                                                                                                                          Michelle

    Go to church, then have a big lunch, then go out to play while mum does the housework. That was a
typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different. 
    Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people get up later
and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying
themselves than cooking Sunday lunch. 
    Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and
cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any "leisure" until afternoon, after the dishes were
cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea. But now,
Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cook themselves. "You only
have two free days a week. You don"t want to have to waste one because there is nothing to do but watch
boring TV," said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London. 
    "On Saturday you are recovering from the week," Biggs added. "Sundays are the last chance for the
weekend - you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work." In
the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. "Now
men seem to do that as much as women," said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.
    Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend
Sundays out of the house at the pub or playing football before lunch.
1. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because ______.
[     ]
A. They have no time to cook at home.
B. They get up too late.
C. They won"t bother to cook themselves.
D. They will go to church.
2. Which of the following is NOT true?
[     ]
A. Britons used to go to church on Sundays.
B. Britons usually had a big lunch at home.
C. British women usually did their shopping during the week in the past.
D. British men did little housework at home in the past.
3. The text mainly tells us ______.
[     ]
A. what Britons did on Sundays
B. why Britons go shopping on Sundays
C. how Britons spend their holidays
D. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays
4. What can we infer from the passage?
[     ]
A. Men do more housework on Sundays.
B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.
C. No people go to church on Sundays now.
D. Britons all go out on Sundays.
