9 . Reality TV show has been charged with making the nation silly, but a study suggests part of the show could be good for children.

Massey University PhD student Jacinta Hawkins looked at the influence of TV programs on kids’ health knowledge, attitudes and behavior. She said programs which showed overweight people on TV is making children say “I don’t want to grow up like that’.”

The research was part of Ms Hawkins’ paper on how schools improve health. She spoke to 92 children, ages from 7 to 13, from six Auckland primary schools to find out how they received information on nutrition and physical activity. Some said they learnt from TV news programs, but most of them mentioned reality shows such as Fat Chance, Honey We’re Killing the Kids and Downsize Me.

“ Earlier studies had looked at the effect junk-food advertising had on children,” Ms Hawkins said, “but messages within TV programs had not been explored. Children from the six schools largely recognized program content, rather than advertising, as a source of food and physical activity messages. They are learning habits of eating and exercise from TV programs. ”

The children also recognized that their parents had a role to play in shaping health behavior. Talking about Honey We’re Killing the Kids, which shows how people will look if they continue with good habits, children said they developed attitudes from their family’s habits. MMs Hawkins said children remembered what they had seen and thought it was the parents’ duty to lead by example.

A．It may teach kids much scientific knowledge.

B．Some shows may have kids develop ill habits.

C．Some shows may help kids eat more healthily.

D．It may draw kids’ attention away from studies.

2. What method did Hawkins use to get her findings?

A．Performing experiments.	B．Doing interviews.
C．Studying science reports.	D．Comparing earlier studies.

3. How did most students get information on health?

A．From health experts.	B．From news reports.
C．From television ads.	D．From TV shows.
