Question

   Teenagers today are not as healthy as they were twenty years ago. Why?

   First of all,teenagers love junk food so much,as their best friends are hamburgers,pizza or spaghetti. Teenagers don't eat what it is best for their physical development and don't want to pay attention to all it's said about food and a healthy way of eating. On the contrary,it's also the case of the girls who keep strict diets so as to lose weight. They just want to be skinny (瘦的) as the models they read about in magazines or newspapers.

   Secondly,young persons nowadays do not spend much time in the middle of nature,walking in the park or going camping. In fact,TV, computer games,DVD players or music are much more interesting. Just imagine a mother calling her son to lunch and him shouting: “No,no ,I'm watching TV I'll eat later. ” He really doesn’t care that later he’ll eat alone,that he won’t have anyone to talk to. In this way communication between the members of the family becomes less important and finally it will disappear completely.

   Thirdly,parents are always worried when their children go to a disco or to a party,as they know how easily teenagers are tempted to try something new,just for fun. Trusting them and making them feel responsible for their actions is the solution to prevent future problems from appearing.

   To sum up,teenagers ought to take more care of their health as the environment is becoming more and more dangerous each day.

  现在的青少年不如二十年前的青少年健康了，为什么 呢？作者列举了三个原因。

1. C词义猜测题。前面提到的汉堡包和披萨都属于食物，故猜测spaghetti为一种食物。

2. B细节理解题。由第二段的最后两句可知，女孩子坚持节食是为了减肥，也就是她们想让自己的体形保持苗 条，故选B项。

3. D推理判断题。由第三段第一句可知，作者认为现在的年轻人很少接触大自然，而把很多时间都用在了电视、 电脑等上面。由此可推断作者希望年轻人不要花太多 时间玩电脑游戏。

4. D推理判断题。由第三段的“Just imagine a mother calling her son to lunch.可知，作者通过举例子来说明家庭 成员之间的交流不那么重要了，由此可知D项正确。

5. C主旨大意题。由倒数第二段“Trusting them and making them feel responsible for their actions is the solution. 可知，作者认为家长应该教育孩子有责任感，故选C项。

on the contrary 相反 tempt v.吸引  responsible adj.有责任感的 to sum up总之
