and international health experts say a new study makes the most convincing case for the benefits of children
being active. They say the research may lead to new guidelines saying youngsters aged between 5 and 16 need
to be active up to 1.5 hours a day.
[2] Experts said the study doesn"t mean children need to be on treadmills (跑步机) or in a soccer
leagues-they just need to be able to run around and play physically, even for short bursts of time.
[3] The study looked at 1,732 9-year-olds and 15-year-olds from Denmark, Estonia and Portugal. Physical
activity was observed for four continuous days. Despite differences among the three coun- tries where children were observed, the benefits of physical activity were the same.
[4] About 40 percent of those observed were reasonably ac- tive, while the rest were sedentary, researchers said. The study found that the benefits of physical activity applied to all children- not just to obese ( 肥胖的)
children normally thought to be at a higher risk.
[5] While much attention has been paid to children"s bad eat- ing habits,this study calls for equal weight to
be placed on activity levels.
[6] "We don"t need to be getting kids running on treadmills in the gym." said Cavil."We need to encourage
kids to play." One of the study"s key findings, he explained, is that it proves the benefit of short bursts of activity, rather than a need for continuous exercises.
[7] But _____ perhaps the greatest factor in children"s physical activ- ity will be the parents themselves."It"s
not just that children should be more active,it"s the whole family," said Weiss."Parents should be role models."

geography, economics, and culture of South America, all without leaving their classroom.
They"re using the Internet to follow the one road South team of adventures on a 14-month bicycle trip
around the continent. Through a program called Reach the World, kids at 60 of the city"s elementary and
middle schools are getting a taste of global citizenship by following the One Road South bikers, a family
traveling in Europe, a bike trek (艰苦跋涉) in Africa, and a Harlem teacher working with scientists in
Antarctica through online videos, journals, and field notes.
Sometimes, students even get to meet the travelers they are following online. Three of the four One
Road South bicyclists recently visited Paulino"s classes present a slide show about the places they plan to
visit.
The students jumped in with questions, asking if the travelers were afraid of wild animals, running out
of food, or going for 14 months without having a girlfriend.
But Reach the World isn"t just for fun. The program aims to integrate technology into the classroom,
to bring subjects like science and social studies to life, and to encourage students to think of them- selves
as global citizens, according to administrators.
Their teacher, Tony Paulino, said his students are beside them-selves with excitement about following
the One Road South bikers. "I believe it speaks to the core desire we all share, to dream, to travel and to
explore," he said.

a day in the last five years. On an average day they now spend seven and a half hours using media.
These are the findings of a new survey. It included not only devices like TVs, computers, mobile phones
and MP3 players, but also media like books and magazines. It did not count media use for school.
Vicky Rideout at the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health re- search group, wrote the report. She was
surprised that kids could fit even more media time into their day.
She found that they spent ten hours and fortyfive minutes if you counted each device individually. But
children multi-task a lot, and Vicky Rideout says this is not necessarily a good thing. "
People who study the brain will tell you that you can"t actually multitask in that way. You"re really
switching back and forth in order from different tasks, just doing it rapidly, and that you don"t really do either
task as well as you would do them if. you did them one at a time." she added.
The study suggests a link between heavy media use and lower performance in school. About one-fourth of
those who used media the least reported that their grades were mostly average or below. But that was true of
half the heavy media users.
So where are the parents? Children who had any rule limiting the use of any kind of media were exposed to
an average of about three hours less media a day. But only one-third of children had to follow any rules.
Girls spent more time than boys on social networking sites, lis tening to music and reading. Boys spent
more time on video games-an average of forty eight minutes more a day than girls.
Vicky said "It looks like the girls just sort of lose interest in the games and they drop off and start doing
other things, whereas the boys" interest remains strong."
Some other findings: Time spent reading books has not dropped in the last five years. But time with
newspapers and magazines has, though some reading now takes place online.
B. The money spent on the entertainment media.
C. Their increased time spent on entertainment media.
D. The lost control of their entertainment activities.
B. Carrying many tasks at the same time.
C. Doing some illegal things out of school.
D. Only doing one task in the limited time.
B. Parents shouldn"t allow children use media at all
C. Parents should hide and give children free space
D. Parents should play an important part as a director

Economy has not just troubled people at work; it has terribly hit the families especially you-moms. 1 In
addition to these, you are shocked by the worst economic condition that seems to burn a hole in your pocket.
That is why there are scholarships for moms during such a slump (不景气) in economy.
2 You can find the FAFSA forms in several educational in stitutions. You get free aid for pursuing your
studies. If taking care of family is a problem now, it will become a bigger problem at a later stage of life. So
prepare yourself in advance to ensure your future.
3 Now that there is help, why worry? Things can get better when you have a strong educational
qualification.
If you are not so fond of attending classes in a nearby school, you can choose online programs. They are
highly flexible. The gov emment scholarships support your online program too. You can choose the timings
when your child is asleep. 4
Scholarships for moms have come to the rescue of hundreds of moms who had dreams of getting a college
degree. If you qualify for the government grant, you get up to $10000 on a yearly basis and this will easily be
enough for your academic expenses. 5 If you look to take the program, you will have the financial
assistance you need to get back into school and start the career you always wanted.
B. You must have tones of responsibilities on your head already.
C. It is time to act now and change your future forever!
D. The only thing preventing you studying may be lack of mon ey.
E. You can turn to the government for help too.

Scientists have discovered that the fruit is a great source of sugar that can be readily distilled (蒸馏) into
alcohol to power cars and farm machinery.
And because sellers reject 360,000 tons of" substandard"fruit annually in America alone they could be used
as an economical way to make fuel.
The waste from US growers could produce nearly two million gallons( nine million litres) of biofuel per
year.
In the study, researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture set out to determine the biofuel
potential of juice from rejected watermelons-those not sold due to cosmetic imperfec tions, and currently
ploughed back into the field.
About a fifth of each annual watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes (瑕疵) or
because they are missha pen.
Dr Wayne Fish, who led the team, found that 50 per cent of the fruit was fermentable(可发酵的) into
alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.
"We"ve shown that the juice of these melons is a source of readily fermentable sugars, representing an
unexploited raw material for alcohol biofuel production," he said.
The study, published in the journal Biotechnology for biofuels, discovered that watermelons could produce
around 20 gallons of fuel per acre from fruit that otherwise would go to waste.
Production of biofuels has been targeted by western govern ments as a way to support renewable energy
targets.
The European Union has a target for 2010 that 5.75 per cent of transport fuels should come from biological
sources, but the target is unlikely to be met.
The British government"s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five per cent of the fuel sold at the
pump by 2010 to be biofuel.
B. watermelons could be used to make fuel
C. the advantages of fuel made from watermelons
D. watermelon juice will be the largest source of renewable en ergy
B. They are imperfect.
C. They are misshapen.
D. They are oversupplied.
B. about two gallons of fuel could be made from rejected fruit per acre
C. half of the watermelons were fermentable into alcohol to provide energy
D. five per cent of fuel is required to be biofuel from watermel ons by 2010 in Britain
B. flavor
C. surface
D. freshness

But today"s British teenagers, a survey suggests, seem to have set their sights only on becoming the next
Leona Lewis or Wayne Rooney.
Researchers questioned 3,000 teenagers about their ambitions and also asked parents about their youthful
career hopes.
According to the survey, youngsters dream of a celebrity (明星) lifestyle, perhaps after finding fame
through shows such as the X Factor, and of being actors or sports stars.
Copying the likes of Rooney and David Beckham was the top career ambition of today"s teenagers,cited by
12 percent.
Almost as many,11 percent, wanted to be pop stars, and the same proportion dreamed of being actors.
The success of celebrity chefs such as James Oliver and Cor don Ramsay is likely to explain why becoming a chef is now the dream of 5 percent, a career ambition which did not figure in the list of 25 years ago.
A quarter of a century back teaching was the top career choice, cited by 15 percent. These days the job is
chosen by only 4 percent.
Of the traditional professions, only law has risen in popularity. The survey also suggests that more girls
dream of becoming doctors and boys want careers as astronauts or firefighters.
Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus said the findings reflect today"s celebrity culture and warned children
against unrealistic dreams.
"Children see footballs, pop stars and actors on TV and their lives look exciting, glamorous and fun," she
said."It is hard for them to realize that, they are the end product of a lot of ingredients including talent,
determination and years of hard work. Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch by chance."
As Antrobus pointed out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children having big dreams, but" these have
to be based on reality," she said.
B. work as hard as
C. enjoy the celebrity lifestyles of
D. become successful by chance like
B. 22 percent of British teenagers surveyed wanted to be pop stars or actors.
C. None of the traditional professions are favored by today"s British teenagers.
D. Teaching, though less popular, seems to remain one of the top career choices on the list.
B. mirrors today"s celebrity culture
C. shows how realistic youngsters are
D. suggests British teenagers watch too much TV
B. Wayne Rooney didn"t get into sport by chance.
C. Wayne Rooney doesn"t believe in luck when he is playing.
D. Wayne Rooney didn"t become successful by luck.
