B ★★★★☆
Americans gone super!Super-sized,that is. New Yorker Morgan Spurlock tells the truth about what is really in food and how much fat Americans gain in the new documentary,iSwperszze Me!In America around 75 million people are overweight.
Morgan Spurlock put the issue of obesity to a test: eating nothing but McDonald's for an entire month. He faced many effects. For example,after the first week,his body fat increased by 5%. After the entire month,he gained 24. 5 pounds. His cholesterol (胆固醇) increased 65 points. He got frequent chest pain,nausea (恶心)depression,headaches,etc. He nearly doubled his risk of heart disease.

In the end,I found myself disappointed with the documentary. It wasn 51 the lack of information. In fact,if this was based on information,I’d give it 5 stars. Spurlock didn't let the information speak for itself. If he had,this documentary would have been brilliant. His points were overstated.

But it’ 11 take a lot more than a ：hamburger once a month to kill US. Yes,if you eat McDonald's every day,you need to change your :eating habits. But scaring the rest of US into eating i vegan pies every day? No,thank you. r II take my coke super-sized.

Nomads (游牧民族) who live in .the Sa?iara Desert of North Africa rely on a most unique animal for transportation — the (单峰骆驼) .Because it is necessary for desert travel,the dromedary is sometimes called the "ship of the desert ”
Several (因素) make the dromedary suitable for long desert trips. It can go for long periods 3 GUut food. ?he (驼峰) on a camel's back serves as its food reserve.

Its;eyes are protected from sand and sun by overhanging lids(眼皮) and long toAes (睫毛) ，and its broad feet keep it from sinking into the soft sand. No other ：animal is better equipped for life in the desert than the camel. In fact,camels serve the nomadic peoples of North Africa in many ways.

Adding math talk to story time at home is a winning method for children's math achievement. A study by psychologists (心理学家) showed a marked increase in math achievement among children whose families used Bedtime Math,an iPad app that provides math problems for parents and children to solve together. The app’ s effect was especially strong for children whose parents are anxious or uncomfortable about math.
Previous research from this group showed the importance of adults’ attitudes about math to children's math success. The new findings proved that highly organized,positive 似(交流) around math at home could cut the link between parents’ uneasiness about math and children's low math achievement. ”Many Americans experience high levels of anxiety when they have to solve a math problem,with most adults feeling worried at least about math/' said Beilock,author of a book about stress and performance. aThese math-anxious parents are probably less likely to talk about math at home,which affects their children's ability in math."
The study stressed the importance of learning math outside of the classroom. "For many families,reading stories is a regular part of a child's daily life.But when it comes to math,parents widely believe that it is the responsibility of schools,and they pay less attention to their children^ math learning at home,” said Levine,professor of Education and Society in Psychology. uWe found brief,high-quality parent-child interactions using Bedtime Math increased children's math learning during the first grade."
The app was especially beneficial for children of very math-anxious parents,whose gains in math achievement over the course of the school year were huge when they used the math app. Even infrequent use of the math app — once a week — improved children's math performance.
9. The app is most suitable for children.
A. who are good at math
B. whose parents are poor in math
C. who are ready to study math in college
D. whose parents spend little time with them
10. What do parents think of math in general?
A. It depends on school education.
B. It should be learned by oneself.
C. It should be highly valued at home.
D. It is less important than other subjects.
11. What suggestion can parents get from the text on math learning?
A. They should be honest about their math.
B. They should learn from children carefully.
C. They should respect children's learning habits.
D. They should discuss math with their children actively.
12. The author writes the text mainly to.
A. advertise an app Bedtime Math
B. show different ways to learn math
C. stress the importance of story time
D. explore the best time for learning math .
