PART FOUR WRITING SECTION A Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blends by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer. In recent years, an increasing number of teenagers have the problem of obesity. This problem shouldn’t be ignored. It’s harmful disorder that can cause a number of health problems in children. Many factors in life play an important role in developing obesity among teenagers. Generally, obesity happens when a Person uses more calories than he burns up. A child of fat parents is at higher risk to develop obesity. If both the parents are overweight, then there are 80% chances of developing obesity in children. Also, poor eating habits and lack of exercise can develop obesity in teenagers. Obesity is a serious condition as it can result in many health problems in any age. Fat children are at greater risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, heart diseases and breathing problems. A fat child also shows signs such as daytime sleepiness, morning headache, ete. In addition to these physical effects, obesity in children causes some serious psychological effects. Fat children car often laughed at by other for their being overweight. It can create a low self-esteem in them. It contributes to poor memory and poor performance at school. Also they hate attending the social events. Obesity among teenagers can be treated by changing diets, increasing physical activities and taking certain medicine. Foods containing fats and high calories should be strictly removed from their diet. However, you should be careful that teenagers should get enough nutrients required for a healthy growth through their diet. You should make sure the children join in more physical activities and exercise. In some severe cases, the drugs should be given only after seeing the doctor. SECTION B directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. According to a new study, preschool boys perform better on tests that measure learning and other important skills when they are in classes that have more girls than boys. This doesn’t seem to apply to girls, though. For preschool girls, the presence or absence of boys does not affect learning. “The study raises questions about having all-boy or all-girl classes for preschool , says psychologist Arlen Moller, who led the study. She added, “Previous researches have shown that high-school girls may study better in all-g irl schools. In middle school, however, the effects of same-sex schooling are unclear, and even less is known for very young kids. To find out, researchers studied 70 preschool classes with a total of 806 children who were between 3.5 and 6 years old. For each class, teachers recorded the student’s progress over a 6.5-month school year. Their data included scores of motor skills, social skills and thinking skills. Researchers found that boys developed each of these skills more quickly when there were more girls in the class than boys. In majority-girl classrooms, boys developed at the same rate as girls. But in classes where boys were the majority, boys developed more slowly than girls. Girls tended to advance in classrooms which had any combination of boys and girls. The study is one of the first to look at how the proportion of boys and girls in a class affects learning. Because it’s a new finding, researchers don’t know why this difference exists. “This is an exciting topic, but it’s too early to draw any conclusion because this area is so under-explored, says psychologist Lean Malofeeva of the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti, Michigan. 【查看更多】

Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference; in London, people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all time. That's not rudeness— people are just too busy to bother looking.

Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection（沉思）.Nor are they reading a book. New techology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book.

Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-filler. One "app"，called iShoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination（目的地）. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the "steam" on your phone screen.

For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice. It's not just teenagers who "plug in" to their music-iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.

And if games, e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm（掌上）DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all this distraction, it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train.
