Teenagers who spend hours in front the television may have a poorer diet as young adults.
A study, which included nearly 1,400 high school students, found those who watched TV for five hours or more per day had less healthy diets than peers(同龄人) five years later. Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?
On the one hand, people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers, may snack more, and that may affect their long-term diet quality.
On the other hand, TV ads for fast food, sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.
Lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson, of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food, those who’d watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake(吸收) of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion, parents should limit and monitor TV viewing.
As far as I am concerned, children should watch no more than two hours of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right, being physically active and curbing their own TV time.
1.What’s the best title for this passage?
A. People Should Keep Away from TV to Keep Healthy
B. Teenagers’ TV Time May Affect Their Diets Later
C. Why Do Teenagers Like TV?
D. Parents’ Own Habits May Affect Children Later
2.What suggestion does the author give the parents?
A. They must watch TV with their children.
B. They can’t do what they don’t want their children to do.
C. They should forbid the children to watch TV.
D.They should pay attention to nutrition in diets.
3.The underlined word “ curbing” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “_________”.
A. adding B. stopping
C. controlling D. checking
4.According to the passage, heavy TV viewers tend to _________.
A. eat more fruits
B. take in fewer vegetables
C. eat less junk food
D. take in high-calcium food

Italy is one country where beauty is prized more than any other virtue(美德). That is, except in the small town of Piobbico, the self-declared World Capital of Ugly People. The road sign at the edge of the town even warns visitors that they are entering the ugly zone. People who consider themselves ugly have been gathering in Piobbico since the 1960s. That’s when Ugly Club president Telesforo Lacobelli established a dating agency for women who believed they were too ugly to attract husbands. Lacobelli believes that he is ugly himself because he has a short nose in a country where long or large noses have always been considered beautiful.
People from around the world travel to Piobbico to tell their sad stories of ugliness. During the annual Festival of the Ugly, which occurs on the first Sunday of every September, hundreds of people gather in Piobbico’s town square to elect the president of the Ugly Club. Lacobelli wins the election every year. The Ugly Club has over 20, 000 members. They carry ID cards that grade their ugliness from bearable to extreme. A prize is awarded to Ugly Club members who qualify as extremely ugly.
The Ugly Club president insists that ugliness is a virtue. Since beautiful people get a lot of attention for their beauty alone, they have to work hard to prove their other virtues. Ugly people, on the other hand, are genuine and do not have to prove anything to anybody, according to Lacobelli.
Lacobelli is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere. He believes that the uglier one is, the better life can be. Though the club enjoys making fun of beauty, especially beauty contests, Lacobelli has a serious side as well. He believes that too many people suffer from financial and emotional pressures because they don’t meet society’s standards of beauty. The fact that beautiful people are more successful in the workforce is a problem that Lacobelli has attempted to bring forward to the Italian public and government.
1.Piobbico is rather special in that_________ .
A. it is a very small town
B. it is home to ugly people
C. it receives no visitors
D. it is the capital of Italy
2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Ugly people are most respected in Italy.
B. The Festival of the Ugly is held every two years.
C. Ugly people are unfairly treated in society.
D. The uglier one is, the better life he or she lives.
3.Why is Lacobelli elected the president of the Ugly Club every year?
A. Because he is the ugliest person in the whole world.
B. Because his ugliness is always graded as bearable.
C. Because he is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere.
D. Because he was won the member’s trust and admiration.
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Ugly Capital of the World
B. The Ugliest Person of the World
C. Festival of the Ugly
D. Beauty Contests Should be Banned.
