  The United States is facing a growing concern:rising obesity(肥胖)rates.A new report says adult obesity rates rose last year in 23 of the 50 states.And, the percentage of obese children was at or above 30%in 30 states.Mississippi had the highest rate of adult obesity in the new study.32.5%of the state's adults were obese.Mississippi also had the highest rate of obese and overweight children.44.4%of all children between the ages of ten and seventeen years were obese or overweight.

  The study used a system of measurement called the Body Mass Index(B-M-I)to define words like obese and overweight.To find your B-M-I, divide your weight in kilograms by height in meters squared.A normal B-M-I is between 18.5 and 24.9.The B-M-I of someone overweight is between 25 and 29.5.And, an obese person has a B-M-I above 30.

  The new report says widespread obesity is increasing the rates of long-lasting diseases, such as heart disease.Obesity is also responsible for an increasing part of health care costs in the United States.Health care costs have grown while many Americans are getting fatter.A lack of physical exercise, watching TV too much and eating junk food contribute to the rising obesity rate.The report says the current economic recession(经济衰退)could worsen obesity rates by increasing food prices.This would make healthy foods cost more.The report blames the recession for rising rates of depression, anxiety and stress, which are closely linked to obesity in many cases.

  The report offers some ideas for dealing with obesity within government health care reforms.They include making sure that every adult and child has a right to preventive medical services.Also, people should do more physical exercise, drive less and eat less junk food to fight obesity.

If you are asked to chair a meeting, remember the following six golden rules for meeting management.
1. Always start the meeting on time
If you begin on time, group members who show up late will realize the value of time. Beginning on time reflects the skill as an effective time manager and sets an example for others to follow.
2. Select a note-taker or arrange to have the meeting audio-taped
You may need to refer back to an issue that was discussed during the meeting at a later date. Good record-keeping is a sign of a good meeting manager as well.
3. Learn to listen
So many times we think we are going to say and, in the process, block out important points that other group members may be contributing. Additionally, we often hear only what we want to hear, rather than really listen to other people. Meetings that are characterized by effective listening are successful meetings.
4. Keep the discussion on track
Many times important issues can get sidetracked in a meeting, especially when everyone has a different opinion about the topic. If an unexpected conflict develops once the meeting is in progress, either appoint a subcommittee to look into the problem, or ask the participants involved in the conflict to meet with you after the meeting. Doing so will help keep the discussion on track and minimize (减少) the chances of wasting participants’ time of great value.
5. Give everyone an opportunity to be heard
Some people tend to control meetings, whereas others wait to be asked their opinions. As the leader of the meeting, you need to keep an open mind and make sure everyone feels welcome to contribute and express ideas without criticism.
6. End on time
If you said the meeting would last no longer than one hour, make sure the meeting lasts for only one hour. Running late with a meeting makes members late for other appointments, increases the chances that the members will mentally leave the meeting and reduces your reliability as an effective meeting manager.

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意:每空格1个单词。

Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In this age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out.

Steve Graham, a literacy professor at Vanderbilt University, says he has been hearing about the death of handwriting for the past fifteen years. However, a recent survey shows that it is still being taught by about 90% of teachers in grades one to three. 90% of teachers also say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. Professor Graham says that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. “And then when you look at how it’s taught, you have some teachers who are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for ten, fifteen minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day -- which really for handwriting is pretty much death.”

Many adults remember learning by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself but be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.

Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility (清楚), which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency -- writing without having to think about it. The professor says fluency continues to develop up until high school.

But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report about one-fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important anymore because of computers and voice recognition programs. But Professor Graham says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. Even with high school teachers, we find that less than 50% of assignments are done via word processing or with word processing. And, in fact, if we added in taking notes and doing tests in class, most of the writing done in school is done by hand.

American children traditionally first learn to print, then to write in cursive (草体的), which connects the letters. But actually more than 75% of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.

注意:每个空格只填1 个单词.
      When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really and
how do they operate?
      Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. Even if this is possible, it is shortterm, and
tends to backfire( 产生事与愿违的后果). If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the longterm. They will also experience fear.
       Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best.
If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will
have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or
partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.
      The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day or we can
employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of
their own motivations. Today's work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive
environment in which they're recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone
produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the
paycheck is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people.
      The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional
intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your
emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with
people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.

The ups and downs of life may seem to have no predictable plan. But scientists know there are very definite patterns that almost all people share. Even if you’ve passed some of your “prime”, you still have other prime years to experience in the future. Certain important primes seem to peak later in life. It is really good news to many of us who don’t have a good feeling about ourselves now. We needn’t be worried about it now. When are you smartest? From 18-25, according to IQ scores; but you’re wiser and more experienced with increasing age.

    You’re sharpest in your 20’s; around 30, memory begins to decline. But your IQ for other tasks climbs. Your vocabulary at the age of 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college. At the age of 60, your brain possesses almost four times as much information as it did at the age of 21. It is really amazing, but it is true.

    When are you happiest? You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense from 40 to 49.

    Before age 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come; over 30, we believe that they’re behind us.

    When are you most creative? Generally between 30 and 39, but the peak varies with different professions.

    Mozart wrote a symphony and four sonatas by age eight, and Mendelssohn composed his best known work A Midsummer Night’s Dream, at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.

    Though the peak in most fields comes early-most Nobel prizewinners did their top research in their late 20’s and 30’s — creative people continue to produce quality work throughout their lives. For the “well-conditional mind”, there is no upper limit.

So if you are not very successful at present, it really doesn’t matter. Just have a little patience and wait for your best time.
