Teens and kids are reading a lot less for fun...

Teens and kids are reading a lot less for fun, according to a recent report.

Although the decline(下降) in the past ten years is very surprising for teen readers, some data(数据) in the report shows that reading is still a big part of many children’s lives.

According to the report, the number or teens who hardly read has gone up from 8 percent to 25 percent today. The report data shows that kids’ reading ability remains almost the same. However, the amount of reading time has fallen, from about an hour every day to half an hour.

As for children’s e-reading, the report mentions little about its effects. But it says that many parents choose to control the time spent on e-books, mainly because they are worried about the increased screen time. After all, it is important to protect their kids’ eyes.

The most helpful part in the report is parents’ effects on their children. It shows that parents are examples and important guides for them in reading. If parents read more and find more time to read with their children, it turns out that their children actually read more often.

As summer vacation arrives, parents might take this chance to step in, make a reading list and enjoy the pleasant family reading time.

1.What do we know about children’s fun reading time?

A.It is much shorter. B.It stays the same.

C.It is much longer. D.It changes a little.

2.Why do many parents control e-reading?

A.It can waste kids’ time. B.E-books are not so important.

C.It can harm kids’ health. D.E-books are a waste of money.

3.How should parents encourage children’s reading?

A.By making reading plans. B.By setting good examples.

C.By praising kids’ reading. D.By offering different books.

4.What’s the writing purpose of the last paragraph?

A.To prevent e-reading. B.To encourage family reading.

C.To advise family trips. D.To describe vacation pleasure.

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).

Feeling stressed has almost become the norm(常态) for many busy American families. Although one kind of stress called 'eustress' can actually be positive( 积极的 ) and productive(有用的), many suffer far too often from negative stress. All that stress leads us to cope in unhealthy ways that take their toll on( 对 …… 造成伤害 ) overall health and well-being. Unfortunately, stress is not just a problem for adults. Teens are also vulnerable(易受伤害的) to stress and its effects.

The latest Stress in America Survey by the American Psychological Association (APA) polled(对……做民意调查) adults as well as 1,018 teens who live in the United States about stress over the previous month. While American adults report higher stress levels than what they believe to be healthy, the survey also shows the patterns of unhealthy stress behaviors we see in adults impact(影响) teens as well. According to the survey, many American teens report experiencing stress at unhealthy levels, appear uncertain in their stress management techniques and experience symptoms(症状) of stress in numbers that mirror adults' experiences. Stress during the teen years also seems to take a toll on activity, nutrition and lifestyle behaviors.

Stress impacts teens in many ways. The survey shows that 36% of teens report fatigue(feeling tired); 35% report lying awake at night; 32% report having headaches; and 23% report skipping a meal.

The report also shows that teens are less aware(有……的意识) than adults about the impact stress can have on their physical and mental health.

It's important that parents find ways to manage stress positively and productively. Because our kids see what we do and how we handle different situations and stressors, for better or worse, we need to model as best as we can positive ways of perceiving(认识) and coping with stress.

Staying physically active, engaging in exercise and sitting less can temper(缓和) stress. Finding activities we enjoy can help our hearts be healthier. Eating different kinds of nutrient-rich foods, for example, whole grains, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats throughout the day can help have mood-boosting. Connecting with others regularly, laughing and thinking can also help. Getting enough sleep by having regular bedtimes can also help us avoid fatigue.
