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)(體質(zhì)指數(shù)), 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.”
【小題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.
【小題2】 How many children took part in the study?
A.4,300B.3,500
C.7,800D.9,800
【小題3】According to the study, one extra hour screen time will cause children about ______ poundfatter.
A.0.1B.0.5
C.0.3D.0.7
【小題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.

Last summer, when Amanda R of Anaheim Hills, California, was running on a cross-country course with her team, she blacked out. “I got really dizzy,” she says. “I was out for a few minutes.” At first, Amanda thought she was just tired and didn’t think she had a health problem. She did go to the emergency room, where she was fine after tests, but she fainted (昏厥) again several days later as she was talking with her coach. Another doctor guessed that Amanda had blacked out “because we were in heat so much with not enough water and not enough of the right kind of foods”.
Teens often don’t want to stop and take a break or don’t notice when they start to feel bad, doctors say. However, paying attention if you’re not feeling well is important, as Amanda learned.
As a result, Amanda has changed her habits. “I drink a lot more water,” she says. “And put more salt in my diet. I’m eating more balanced meals.” Amanda advises teen athletes to trust their coaches and speak up when they’re not feeling well. “And recognize the difference between when you’re tired and when there’s something really wrong.”
Some people - up to 3 percent of the population - sweat too much, even in cold weather. The condition, called hyperhidrosis (多汗), can affect many parts and it often runs in families - hands down from generation to generation. Too much sweating over the whole body could be a symptom of another medical condition. Doctors aren’t sure what causes hyperhidrosis, but using special medications or other treatments can help.
【小題1】What caused the happening mentioned in the passage during Amanda’s running?

A.She couldn’t breathe in enough air in the race.
B.She didn’t eat anything before the race.
C.She had been running all summer without a rest.
D.She neither drank enough water nor ate enough of the right kind of foods.
【小題2】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.There is no need to worry when sweating too much, even in cold weather.
B.Hyperhidrosis may have a bad effect on your health.
C.Doctors have discovered why people get hyperhidrosis.
D.Hyperhidrosis is a serious disease and no treatment can help.
【小題3】The purpose of writing this passage is to____________.
A.tell teens the proper ways to take exercise in summer.
B.tell teens not to run in hot summer.
C.tell teens to pay attention to hyperhidrosis in the summer exercise
D.tell teens how to keep healthy.

A recent study suggests that teens’ relationship with parents, friends and teachers may have a lot to do with why they don’t get a good night’s sleep.
David Maume, a sociologist and sleep researcher, analyzed federal health data, which interviewed 974 teenagers when they were 12, and then again at 15. He found that family dynamics (動態(tài)) have much to do with how well kids sleep. Teens, who had warm relations with their parents and felt like they could talk to them or their parents were supportive of them, tended to sleep better. However, families that were going through a divorce or a remarriage tended to affect teens’ sleep.
And problems at school also affected teens’ sleep. Feeling safe at school and having good relations with teachers tended to promote better sleep. As did good relationships with friends. Kids who took part in sports or other positive social activities or shared similar academic goals with their friends were also more likely to get a good night’s sleep.
These add up to what makes lots of sense: a general feeling of well-being helps teens sleep. If we’re happy and contented, we’re much more likely to sleep better than if we’re sad and anxious.
Now, of course, teens can hardly resist being drawn to their computers and social networking. Maume also found that when parents were strict not only about bedtime, but also about limiting technology, kids slept better. It’s a finding that seems obvious, but parents really do matter when it comes to health habits of their teenagers.
Clearly, teenagers aren’t getting 9 to 10 hours a night, which puts them at risk for all the consequences of lack of sleep, including poor academic performance, colds and stress.
【小題1】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Teens’ sleep is linked to their relationship with people around them.
B.Lack of adequate sleep puts teens at risk of many bad consequences.
C.Modern technology has something to do with teens’ sleep problems.
D.It is necessary for teens to join in sports and positive social activities.
【小題2】According to Maume’s analysis, who will probably have a poor night’s sleep?
A.Teens who feel like talking with their parents.
B.Teens who have friends sharing their dreams.
C.Teens who feel contented about themselves.
D.Teens who lack a sense of security at school.
【小題3】 Para 5 functions as              .
A.a(chǎn) comparison B.a(chǎn)n introduction C.a(chǎn) conclusion D.a(chǎn)n addition

B.a(chǎn)llow children to decide when to sleep
C.limit teens’ using new technology
D.force teens to have 10 hours’ sleep daily
