Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors.
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.
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 parents often give their children fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food,they will go for sweet and salty foods,and children will find it hard to get rid of the habit.
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.
The above are the main reasons for this problem..
| A．I feel there are a number of reasons for this |
| B．If there were fewer of these restaurants |
| C．Therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active |
| D．Not only is this an unhealthy pastime （消遣）,it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food |
| E．Adults are becoming fatter and unhealthier, too |

【推荐1】Children in England will no longer be able to buy energy drinks. The UK government has made plans to ban (禁止) the sale of energy drinks to kids. It is now asking for public suggestions about what age the ban should start at (16 or 18), the BBC reported.
An energy drink is a kind of drink that has stimulants (兴奋剂), such as caffeine. Red Bull is one of the most famous energy drinks. The makers of these drinks say that they can give you energy when you feel tired.
However, these drinks have very high levels of sugar and caffeine. Energy drinks have 65 percent more sugar than normal soft drinks. This may explain why obesity rate (肥胖率) have risen among children.
Too much caffeine can lead to (导致) health problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness. A 250 ml can of Red Bull has about 80 mg caffeine, three times the level of a can of Coca-Cola, BBC noted.
In the UK, more than two-thirds of 10 to 17-year-olds buy energy drinks, according to the government. “Childhood obesity is one of the greatest health Challenge (挑战) this country faces. It’s important that we do all we can do to make sure children have the best start in life,” UK Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement.
The ban would apply to (应用于) drinks having more than 150 mg of caffeine per liter. Under the ban, shops in England that sell the drinks to children would face fines of £ 2,500 (22,070 yuan).

| Dear Aunt Ann. I am 12 years old. My twin sister is taller than me. She often calls me “shorty”! Many of the girls in my class are taller than the boys. I am the shortest in the class. Can you tell me when boys get as tall as girls? When do you think I will grow? Thanks. Dave |
| Dear Dave, It is true that from the ages of about 8 to 14 most girls are a little taller than most boys. The graph (图表) can show you the difference in height between boys and girls. Most boys catch up with girls around the age of 14. Then they start getting taller than most girls! I’m sorry I can’t tell you when you will grow. Everyone is different. Why don’t you tell your sister you don’t like her nickname for you? I think you should stop worrying about your height. You should have confidence (信心) in yourself! Remember all the things you are good at. Come on! I’m sure you will grow soon. Aunt Ann |

【推荐2】Most of us have made an exercise plan, but only a few can follow it. WebMD (an American website) has listed the following tips for making exercise a habit in your life.
Remember, there's no rule that says you have to go to a sports center or buy equipment like swimming suits. Many types of activities, such as push﹣up, can be done whenever it is rainy or snowy.
Don't go home first. Few people are so motivated that they will go out again and exercise after they go home and change clothes.
Tiredness is not an excuse. While exercising, you breathe deeply and your body makes better use of the oxygen exchange. Then, you will feel energetic.
It's great when your clothes fit better. You can lift heavier things or take exercise longer. There's something good too, like getting a good night's sleep or thinking more clearly.
Not everyone can start out with 10,000 steps a day. Use a pedometer, and find out your daily steps. And then, try your best to walk 300 extra steps each day. Finally, you can reach 10,000 steps a day.
| A．Exercise after work. |
| B．Record your daily steps. |
| C．Do activities you enjoy. |
| D．Exercise even when you are tired. |
| E．Notice that you are better than before. |
| Dear Mike, My school is going to hold a basketball competition (比赛). Many of my classmates cheer for our players and watch them practice every day. I don’t always have time to cheer with them, since I’m so busy with my schoolwork. But I feel like I will be left out if I don’t join them. What should I do? Adam |
| Dear Adam, This does sound like a difficult situation. On the one hand, it can be fun to cheer for your team, and of course it’s nice to hang out (闲逛) with your friends and cheer along with them. They probably wish that. You could be there to have fun with them. But your studies are also important. You need to get good grades in school. In fact, that makes me wonder—why do your classmates have time to cheer for the team, but you don’t? Shouldn’t they also be busy with their schoolwork? Maybe you can ask them how they manage to have so much free time. Or maybe you just need to use some more time in the evenings to catch up on your work. If you can finish more schoolwork at home, you should have more time to cheer with your friends later. Hopefully you can cheer for your team soon. Mike |
