    SAN FRANCISCO―The “Reading Wizard”, an 11 year old boy, whose offer to read to children without being paid at a local library was refused by libraries, will get to read to younger kids after all.

    Mayor Willie Brown last Wednesday ordered San Francisco Public Library officials to allow John O’Connor to read to preschool children to get them interested in books and stop them from watching television and video games.

    “I didn’t expect this kind of attention. ” John said, “It’s just shocking.”

    John has chosen his first book, “The King’s Giraffe”, and made up fliers inviting neighborhood children, aged from three to six, to the Presidio Branch every Wednesday afternoon. He planned to call himself the “Reading Wizard” and wear a special hat, fake glasses and a black coat.

    But his idea was refused on the phone, in person and finally with a letter from Toni Bernardi, the chief of the library’s children and youth services. Using terms like “age appropriate material”（适龄读物）,she wrote that only library workers are allowed to read to children.

    John then went to a member of the city board of supervisors（督导董事会）, who advised him to write letters to the library officials.

    “Our libraries are supposed to turn kids on, not to turn them off.” Brown said he enjoyed “the creative idea, the sense of civic duty and the caring for others that John clearly showed us.”

    Do you sometimes put off doing your homework on a school night to watch TV？A new study says that middle school students who watch TV or play video games during the week do worse in school. The study also says that watching TV and playing video games on weekends don’t affect school performance that much.

    “They could watch a lot on weekends and it didn’t seem to connect with doing worse in school，”said Dr. Iman Sharif of Children’s  Hospital at Montefiore in New York. The study appears in the October issue of Pediatrics. Researchers drew their conclusions after surveying  （调查）4，500 students in New Hampshire and Vermont middle schools.

    To reach their findings，researchers didn’t look at grades or test scores. Instead，they asked students to rate their own performance on a scale ranging from “excellent’’ to “below”.

    Other studies have found a connection between kids’ ability to learn and the amount of TV they watch. One study even found that kids with televisions in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than kids without them.

    What should fl kid do？The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends（推荐）that kids watch TV no more than two hours and that televisions be kept out of children’s  rooms. Weekend viewing should be kept to four hours at most each day.

     

    73. What could be the best title for the passage？

    A. Study Says Students Shouldn’t Watch TV on a School Night

    B. Watching TV Has an Effect on Children

    C. Students Shouldn’t Watch TV

    D. There Is a Connection Between Watching TV and Study

    74. According to Dr. Iman Sharif，        .

    A. watching TV on weekends affects school performance

    B. the less students watch TV on weekends，the better they do at school

    C. watching TV on weekends doesn’t affect school performance

    D. the more students watch TV on weekends, the worse they do at school

    75. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？

    A. Researchers did the survey by studying the students’ test scores.

    B. Students’ learning ability has nothing to do with the amount of TV they watch.

    C. Children with televisions in their rooms do better at school than those without them.

    D. Children shouldn’t watch TV for more than four hours each day at weekends.

    Having a large waistline can almost double your risk of dying prematurely(过早地)even if your body mass index is within the “normal “range, according to a new study, over 350,000 people across Europe published Wednesday in the US. magazine, New England Journal of Medicine.

    The study provides strong evidence that storing excess(过量的)fat around the waist poses a significant health risk, even in people not considered to be overweight obese(极肥胖的). It suggests that doctors should measure a patient’s waistline and their hips as well as their body mass index as part of standard health cheeks, according to the researchers from Imperial College London , the German Institute of Human Nutrition, and other research institutions across Europe,

    Comparing subjects with the same body mass index, the risk of premature death increased in a linear fashion as the waist circumference increased. The risk of premature death was around double for subjects with a larger waist (more than 120 cm for men and more then 100 cm for women) compared to subjects with a smaller waist(less than 80cm for men and less than 65cm for women). Body mass index is commonly used to assess(评估)if a person is of “normal “weight.

    Each 5cm increase in waist circumference increased the mortality risk by 17 percent in men and 13 percent in women, according to the study.

    An increased risk of mortality (死亡率)may be particularly related to storing fat around the waistline because fatty tissue in this areas secrete (分泌)cytokines(细胞因子), hormones(荷尔蒙)and metabolically (新陈代谢)active compounds (混合物)that can contribute to the development of chronic (长期的)diseases, particularly cardiovascular(心脏血管的)diseases and cancers, suggest the authors.

    Tobias Pischon, the lead author of the paper, said “The most important result of our study is the finding that not just being overweight , but also the distribution of body fat affects the risk of premature death of each individual,”(328 words )

     

    61.According to a new study of over 350,000 people across Europe, a person has more risk of dying prematurely,             

    A if his body mass index isn’t within normal range

    B if he has a large waistline

    C if his body mass index is within normal range

    D if he overweight

    62.Which of the following isn’t mentioned as part of standard health checks?

    A .weight       B. hip      C. body mass index    D. waistline

    63.Which of the following is NOT wrong?

    A. Each 5 cm increase in waist circumference increases the same mortality risk in men and women,

    B. Body mass index is commonly used to assess(评估)if a person is large waistline,

    C. The smaller waistline, the more mortality risk,.

    D. Large waistline almost doubles risk of dying prematurely,
