Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

1.According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?

A. Those who often take exercise.

B. Those who often watch television.

C. Those who often have meals at home.

D. Those who often walk to school.

2.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because .

A. their parents often cook meals for them

B. they are too busy to go out and play

C. they can' t choose what to eat

D. there are too many fast food shops around

3.The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.

A. forcing B. guiding

C. driving D. moving

4.The main purpose of the text is to _________.

A. tell a story B. provide facts

C. give advice D. compare opinions

Eat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon, and a peasant at night. This saying is all about the importance of breakfast. And now scientists can tell us just why it’s so important. According to a study carried out at Imperial College London, UK, skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch, but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods.

The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbitofrontal cortex (眶额皮层), which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat. It is used for identifying the taste of food, especially when skipping breakfast. It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when you’re on an empty stomach.

Scientists did an experiment on this. Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London, scanned (扫描) the brains of 21 men and women, around the age of 25. On the first day, these people skipped breakfast before the scans. On the second day, they had cereal (谷物), bread and jam as breakfast. After the scan on both days, they had their lunch.

When the volunteers had skipped breakfast, they ate around 20 percent more at lunch, compared with days when they had eaten breakfast.Their brain scans also showed the orbitofrontal cortex was especially responsive to high-calorie foods. “We believe that bit identifies the value of foods – how pleasant, how delicious something is,” Goldstone told The Guardian.

1.From Paragraph 1, we learn that _____.

A. scientists found out why eating breakfast is important

B. it’s easy to lose weight without breakfast

C. there’s no need to have good food for supper

D. eating breakfast makes your brain smarter

2.Which of the following is NOT true about the orbitofrontal cortex?

A. It is part of our brain.

B. It tells people to eat breakfast.

C. It decides which food we like.

D. It is active toward high-calorie food.

3. Which is the correct order for the experiment on the first day?

① The volunteers skipped breakfast.

② The volunteers had lunch.

③ The volunteers had a brain scan.

A.①②③ B.③②① C.①③② D.③①②

4.In the experiment, the volunteers without breakfast ate about 20% _____ at lunch.

A. of the usual breakfast

B. more than the usual breakfast

C. of the usual lunch

D. more than the usual lunch

5. Which of the following can be the title for this passage?

A. Breakfast still most important

B. Three meals a day

C. Experiments on breakfast

D. Experiments on lunch
