| [1]One of many important things for the whole family to do is to have dinner together. Researchers began reporting the benefits of family dinner about a decade ago, focusing mainly on how it affects children. Studies show that those families who eat dinner at least 3 or 4 times a week together, benefit in many ways. [2]Eating together helps families achieve open communication and build stronger and healthier relationships. Children have better grades at school and are better adjusted as teens and adults, and the entire family enjoys healthier nutrition. For many families, eating dinner together proves to be a good and effective way to reduce the risk of youth rates of addiction, and helps to raise healthier children. It is also a great time to share the events of the day, discuss news and ideas or just be together and enjoy each other"s company. [3]During dinner time parents have better opportunity to show that they are the prior to their children. Sitting at the same table and sharing meals is where and when parents can find out more about their children"s school performance, daily activities and attitudes toward life. When parents have all this information they can better direct their kids toward positive things in life. They also have better chance to reduce the possibility that children will get involved with alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs. [4]However, family researchers say that the benefits of family dinner by no means can be considered as automatic. Parents can sit down to dinner with their kids every day and achieve nothing. __________________ __ if there is too much arguing going on, if there is no meaningful conversation or, what is even worse, if there is just plain silence during gathering. |

| A new computer treatment is being used to deal with obesity in children. Connected to a small dining set, consisting of (包括) scales and a plate, a mini computer teaches children how to eat and reminds them when to stop. "In very fat people, hunger signals from the stomach to the brain stop functioning. But the new computer system teaches the children how to receive these messages again," says Dr. Julian Hamilton-Shield, the Bristol University senior lecturer leading the treatment trials.(实验). The computer, called a Mandometer, records and stores the weight loss from the plate when children eat. As the food is leaving the plate, a curve (曲线) is produced on the computer screen suggesting whether the child is eating too quickly. "Children with weight problems often eat too quickly. We want them to eat steadily (稳定地) and slowly and the system teaches them to slow down. It"s a bit like retraining," says Hamilton-Shield. Obesity now represents (代表) one of the major threats to the future health of children. About one in five boys and one in four girls aged two to fifteen in England are overweight. But so far no treatments have proven effective in treating children. The Mandometer was developed in Sweden, but at present is experiencing further development at the University of Bristol, with $ 224,400 in funds from BUPA-a global health and care organization. The system could be on the market in two years" time. At first, it would be managed by medical clinics (诊所). |

| [ ] |
| A. how a new computer treatment dealing with obesity works B. why child obesity becomes a topic of people C. how to lose weight with the help of computers D. why a computer is effective (有效的) in dealing with child obesity |

| [ ] |
| A. eating B. working C. lasting D. losing |
| 3. Obesity threatens the health of children, which ______. |
| [ ] |
| A. people have not cared about B. is nothing compared with other diseases C. has led to many deaths D. is very serious |
| 4. What can we learn from the text? |
| [ ] |
| A. The Mandometer will be put into market once it proves effective. B. The Mandometer is cheap enough for every family to afford. C. The Mandometer is still not perfect. D. Slow eating is sure to make people lose weight. |

| On Anger Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problem, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But other people repress their anger. They cannot or will not express it. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person"s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (激素) that are produced during tense situations. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels to the interstices (空隙). In general, the person feels excited and ready to act. Doctors said that repressing these feelings only makes the feelings continue. And this can lead to many medical problems. Doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors held a different view. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and violently did become, in fact, more and not less angry. They said this, too, can cause medical problems. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious, enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably." |

| [ ] |

| 3. When you get angry, which of the following should you do for the sake of health? |
| [ ] |
| A. Repressing the anger. B. Expressing the anger. C. Treating the anger properly. D. Learning how to make a deal. |
