American government suggests that children and teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity every day. But less than half of children and just 10% of teens meet these suggestions. What’s the deal?
It’s reported that about 44million US kids participate in organized sports(such as baseball, softball, soccer).But a new study says just one-quarter of kids get the government-recommended amount of exercise when they show up for team practices. The study, published online last month in a medical journal, says younger kids and boys do better than teens and girls.
The study looked at 200 kids aged 7 to 14 who played on soccer, baseball and softball teams. The kids wore sensors to measure their activity during practices.
During each practice, kids averaged 30 minutes of downtime(停工期). “It is not clear how much physical activity is provided by youth sports practices,” say the California-based authors of the study. “Much of the time may be inactive, such as receiving verbal instructions and waiting for turns.”
What’s a parent or coach—or kid—to do? The authors of the study suggest increasing the number of practices, extending the time of practices and changing it up(加快)during practices. For example, the coach could give each player a ball at the same time. Rather than focusing on one player’s skills, it’s best to get the whole team moving.
But, the study says, the bottom line is that team sports aren’t enough exercise. For a child to meet the US physical activity suggestions, the kid will have to do more than just join a team. Exercise is also necessary during breaks, during physical education class, after school and even on the way to school.
1.According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Only 10% of the teens can’t meet the suggestions about physical activity.
B. About 11 million US kids can get enough amount of exercise in team practices.
C. The new study was published on a famous magazine last month.
D. Teens do better than girls and younger kids in the new study.
2.The underlined word “extending” in Paragraph 5 means .
A. giving support or confidence
B. becoming smaller or fewer
C. making something longer or larger
D. causing to move or go quickly
3.The passage is probably written for .
A. physical teachers and parents
B. doctors and nurses
C. class advisers and researchers
D. kids and headmasters
4.What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Necessary for Kids to Exercise
B. Kids for Fun?
C. How to Keep Fit
D. Not Enough Exercise?

The World Health Organization (WHO) said that processed meat may be carcipogenic(致癌). Do you still dare eat cancer-linked processed meat ? Here are some comments on the website.
Bill (Australia) I’d rather live a short, pleasant life than a long, unhappy one, denying(拒絕給予) myself tasty food just because some experts say it’s not healthy. We should all enjoy the one life we have ---if I had listened to every piece of health advice I would never go anywhere, eat anything or enjoy life in any way. So, I won’t change my habit. I am going to have bacon sandwich, glass of wine, burger, can of coke whenever I fell like it.
Tim (America) Is meat really as bad as smoking: I don’t think so. According to the WHO 34,000 people die worldwide per year because they eat processed meat. In 2012, 8.2 million people died of cancer worldwide. That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0.41 percent of people dying of cancer because of processed meat. I’ll take the chance.
Helen (Switzerland) The WHO doesn’t say that just one bite of meat causes cancer, it is rather saying that people should vary their diet. People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits. They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.
Van (China) Perhaps this report will make people consider becoming vegetarians ( 素食者). So for your health, the environment and future generations, it is not difficult; it just needs a change of attitude. There is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy.
1.What if Bill has to change his habit ?
A. He’ll feel unhappy.
B. He’ll live a pleasant life.
C. He’ll go on a diet.
D. He’ll become a vegetarian.
2.What does Tim think about eating processed meat ?
A. Too risky. B. Fairly safe.
C. Popular worldwide. D. Very unhealthy.
3.What may be Helen a response to WHO’s warning ?
A. Caring little about it.
B. Eating whatever she likes.
C. Varying the diet and doing exercise.
D. Taking a diet without meat.
4.Who have the most similar viewpoints ?
A. Bill and Tim. B. Tim and Helen.
C. Helen and Van. D. Bill and Van.

My friend Jim was a well-known radio host, who worked at a radio station all his life. All his colleagues knew him about one characteristic: If he’s on-air, he is always wearing a suit and a tie. They laughed at him, saying, “No one ever sees you. Why do you dress like that?” But he always turned that into a joke.
One day Jim was invited to appear on the TV. There was a show for the oldest radio employees. For the first time his fans, who only knew Jim by his voice, would see him. Before the recording of the show, the director came to Jim and asked, “Usually you arrive on time, but today you are 10 minutes late. It’s not terrible, but I still want to know why.”
“You see,” Jim answered, “at the last moment when I was already dressed up, I noticed that I didn't have new socks. For the first time I was invited to the television, and I thought that simply wearing clean socks was not enough. So I needed to go to the store for new socks.”
The director was surprised. He asked, “Why do you need new socks? You could have come without the socks because we will be filming you only over the waist.”
“ You see, to be perfect, I need to feel myself perfect in everything, starting with the shirt and finishing with the pen in my pocket,” Jim said. “And if my socks have holes in them or my shoes are dirty, I’m not spotless anymore. And it may make me less confident.”
1.From Para. 1 we can learn that when Jim is on-air, he______.
A. likes telling jokes
B. behaves strangely
C. always wears the same clothes
D. is careful about his dress
2.Jim was late for the TV show because______.
