A new report from a university says 80% of the world's teens don't get enough exercise very day. The report was based on (基于) a research done with about 2 million students aged 11 to 17 around the world. According to the report, activity standards are different in different countries and they are also different between boys and girls. In China, for example, only 20% of the boys are active enough, compared to 11% of the girls.

Why don't teens go out for exercise? One main reason is that they always have technology products in their hands or around them. They spend too much time on smartphones, computers and TVs in their free time. Many teens find it very hard to pull themselves away from these devices (设备). The report says that young people need to do less in the digital world but more the real world. It advises kids to get at least an hour of exercise every day. This could include running, biking, playing sports, or many other outdoor activities.

More and more research shows that exercise not only helps the body, but also helps the brain. Besides, doing sports helps kids to make friends. Mark, a sports fan, started to play football when he was six years old. He used to be shy and weak, but now he has become taller and stronger. He gets to know the importance of communicating with his teammates and hoy to learn from mistakes and failure. And he has made lots of friends with the same interest.

80% of teens don't get enough exercise

The World Health Organization (WHO) says that 80% of the world's teens don't get enough exercise to live healthy lives. The report, which was published in the Lancet, was based on research done with students aged 11-17 in 146 different countries. The WHO has been studying teen activity levels since 2001 and reports that not much has changed since then.

The WHO says that kids should get at least an hour of medium to hard exercise every day. This could include walking, running, biking, dancing, playing sports, or many other activities.

More and more research is showing that exercise doesn't just help the body, it can help the brain, too, improving thinking, test scores, and school grades.

One big reason for the lack (不足) of activity in today's teens is technology, such as smartphones, computers, and TVs. Many teens find it very hard for them to pull themselves away from their devices (设备), whether they are texting, playing games, or watching videos or movies. The WHO warns that young people need to do less playing in the digital (数码的) world, and more playing in the real world.

Health experts want schools and families to encourage teens to be more active. Teens should take part in sports, whether on official teams or just playing around in the playground.

Experts believe that it's very important for young people to fall into these habits now, because the positive effects (积极影响) of those habits can carry on into adult (成年的) life. Studies show that the best way to tell how active someone will be as an adult is to look at how active he was as a teen.

1.According to the WHO, what is the worldwide problem for teens?

_____________________

2.What is the WHO's suggestion?

_____________________

3.Why is exercise very important?

_____________________

More than 100 people have now died from the new coronavirus (冠状病毒)-COVID-19. The number of people infected in mainland China increased sharply in one day-from 2, 700 Monday to more than 4,500 Tuesday. The increase comes even as China takes strong measures to stop the spread of the disease.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause disease in mammals (哺乳动物)　 and birds. Coronaviruses can cause illnesses from the common cold to much more serious illnesses like Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Experts still do not have a clear picture of the severity of the new coronavirus.

Officials are calling the disease a "novel" or new coronavirus because it has not been found before in humans. The new virus is thought to have spread to humans from wild animals sold at a market in Wuhan, in central China's Hubei Province. But it is now spreading between people. Chinese officials say the disease is able to spread from one person to another even before any actual signs appear. This makes it especially hard to stop.

Signs of the disease among infected patients have included fever, cough, shortness of breath and general breathing difficulties. In more serious cases, the virus can cause pneumonia（肺炎）. Some people report few or no signs, while others have gotten very sick or even died. Experts say that signs of the virus may appear between two and fourteen days after being near someone who is infected.

There is no special treatment for the new coronavirus. However, many of its effects are treatable, as long as a patient is in fair health. Because the virus is so new among humans, there is no available vaccine(疫苗) to protect against the disease. But the World Health Organization advises people to avoid close contact with anyone showing signs of a breathing sickness, such as coughing or sneezing. It also says people should wash their hands often and use safe food practices.

As one of the world’s top universities, Oxford attracts students from around the world. Besides needing a perfect academic record. students have to go through a rigorous ( 严 格 的 ) interview process, sometimes across days.

If you’re preparing for studying overseas, here’s our advice for putting your best foot forward.

Questions

You might have heard about the strange questions you might face, such as why are ladybirds red? These questions are not as random (随意的) as they seem and are often related to your course or interests. In truth, there is no wrong way to answer these questions as they are designed to show how your mind approaches problems.

You can’t prepare for these, but you can practice explaining your thoughts aloud about different topics.

Preparation

Most of your interviews will be made up of what you wrote in your application. So make sure you review everything you’ve submitted (提交) as you will be asked about any writers or scientific theories you’ve mentioned. It’s not a good look if you can’t discuss your subject area or struggle to form your own opinions about it.

It’s also OK to say you’re unfamiliar with a question, but always attempt to answer it.

Interviews aren’t everything

Don’t worry about any mistakes you make. Your whole application is more than just a meeting, so take the time to de-stress and visit local sites.

It is also common for students to have an additional interview with another Oxford college if your interviewer is unsure about you. Take it as a second chance.

Overall, think and act as you usually would. Everyone there is gifted, but demonstrating (证明)) how your mind works and how you approach difficult things is how you will stand out.

1.According to the passage, how can you prepare for the questions in interviews?

A.Search for information about ladybirds. B.Try to solve problems all by yourself.

C.Pay attention to your course or interests. D.Practice explaining your thoughts aloud.

2.What does the underlined word “additional”mean in the passage?

A.Extra B.Special C.Usual D.Complete

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Interviews have something to do with what you wrote in your application.

B.You need to think and act much better than how you behave in your daily life.

C.You will be asked about a writer or scientific theories that you just heard about.

D.You should be careful not to make any mistakes when you are having interviews.
