5 . Obesity (肥胖) has become a serious problem now. According to a recent survey, teenage obesity has increased at an alarming rate across America. Teenage obesity is mainly due to the increased consumption (消耗) of junk food which contains large amounts of fat. This has exposed the teens to a 14% greater risk of having a heart attack as well as seriously high blood pressure.

Various causes of teen obesity have been claimed, the most important of which is being insufficient (不足) physical exercise on the teen’s part. It is argued that teens nowadays who lack (缺少) sufficient physical exercise topped with their unhealthy eating habits are more likely to be obese. Nowadays, a main part of the teenagers spend their spare time on the computer, television or perhaps simply playing games. This greatly limits any kind of physical activity of the teenager. According to a recent survey, around 43% of teenagers spend more than 2 hours watching television every single day.

Long time inactivity in addition to the ill eating habits has increased the incidence (发生率) of obesity in teenagers even more. However, this does not mean that teens do not do enough exercise, but the amount which they do, is certainly not sufficient as compared to their intake of fatty foods. Besides this, parents need to change the whole lifestyle of the family in order to develop a healthier lifestyle of their children.

The teenagers must also be encouraged to take part in other physical activities which require more effort; such as playing basketball, tennis, badminton, volleyball and swimming. Meanwhile, the teenagers also need to be educated on the ill effects of junk food and must be asked to avoid them as much as possible. Their diet must also be made healthier and more balanced, which will help them in losing more weight quickly. For better guidance on reducing the teen’s weight quickly, parents can always turn to a doctor.

D．Most American teenagers probably have heart disease.

2. What’s the most important reason for obesity among teenagers?

C．Lack of physical exercise.	D．Watching TV programmes.

3. Why do teens taking part in exercise still get obese?

A．The exercise they choose is too simple.

B．The method they do exercise is improper.

6 . Four True Canadian Heroes

Albertine Lapensée

Born in 1898, Lapensée learned to skate on iced-over rivers. When the First World War sent men to the Western Front, a Québécois arena owner dreamed up the Eastern Ladies’ Hockey League-and Lapensée seized her opportunity. Between 1916 and 1917, she showed astonishing skill, leading the Cornwall Victorias to glory after glory. Francophone fans referred to her as “the star of stars”. She once scored 15 goals in a single game. And then, at 18, she left the spotlight.

Hussain Guisti

In 2006, Guisti and his family relocated from Winnipeg to Thompson, Manitoba — only to discover it didn’t have a mosque (清真寺). In response, Guisti started the Zubaidah Tallab Foundation and raised donations to build one. The building opened its doors in 2007. Next, the Muslim community of Inuvik, N.W.T., asked him for help. He raised $ 323,000 and in late 2010, the mosque welcomed its first worshippers.

Waneek Horn-Miller

At 14, Horn-Miller was stabbed (刺) in the chest. She survived the incident and used the trauma (创伤) to fuel her dream of becoming an Olympic athlete,“ I channelled all the anger, pain and sadness from my experiences into something positive,” she says.

In 2000, as co-captain of the national water polo team, Horn-Miller became the first Mohawk woman to represent Canada at the Olympics.

Rachel Zellars

In 2020, Halifax lawyer and professor Zellars co-founded the African Nova Scotian Freedom School. “I wanted to give Black children the tools and support to understand this ongoing important moment of their history,” says Zellars, “which they simply wouldn’t get in public school. The courses educate Black youth on their rich heritage and also teach skills to help students become community organizers.”

When I was a teenager, my mother had a hard time finding me onstage (在舞台上) in the dancing show. I was always in the back row,out of sight, out of mind. Sometimes the stage lights didn’t t even reach me, and I ended up dancing in the shadows.

I didn’t t start out that way. As a kid, I was a confident dancer. At eleven, though, I put on weight. I still danced through my routines with energy, but I was always placed in the back row. My teachers didn’t remember my name half the time.

In high school,I put on weight. I wanted to join the dancing club. However“You need to lose weight,”my teacher said. I walked out of the class and never returned.Dance was still part of my life, though.I took classes off and on at another school and at my university. Finally, I decided to start performing in flash mobs (快闪行动). While I had no interest in making it a career, I enjoyed my projects. I danced well, and I was chosen. The show kept inviting me back. More often than not, I was placed in the featured dancers’ group.

There was only one problem: Though I had fun, I still believed in those teachers from childhood instead of myself. Deep down, no matter what anyone said to me, I still thought that I was a terrible dancer.

注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
