For years experts have argued that poor households are consuming less nourishing food than the rest of the population.
But a survey of some of the lowest earners in Britain shows the nutritional value of what they eat is little different to everyone else.
In fact, the same deficiencies in diet were shared by all the population and the findings suggest that poor eating choices are far more widespread than previously suspected - affecting many wealthier families.
These included low fruit and vegetable consumption, not eating enough oily fish and eating too much saturated fat and sugar.
“This is a large and significant study and it shows we are all eating just as bad a diet as each other,” said Tim Lang, professor of food policy at City University.
The poorest families were eating only slightly more sugar and slightly less fruit and vegetables, according to the study of 3,728 respondents in the bottom of the population.
Alison Tedstone, head of nutritional science at the Food Standard Agency, said: “Overall, people on low incomes have less than ideal diets, but their diets are only slightly worse than those of the rest of the population.”
The study also showed that low earners are choosing to eat unhealthily. Their food choices were not linked to their income, their access to shops or their cooking skills.
The findings appear to contradict assumptions that the poor cannot afford healthier foods or are too far away from shops that sell them.
The Low Income Nutrition and Diet Survey showed that like the rest of the population, the poor's daily fruit and vegetable intake on average is below the recommended five portions. Fewer than 10 per cent of respondents hit this target, while around 20 per cent ate less than a portion per day.
More than three quarters (76 per cent) of men and 81 per cent of women did less than one 30-minute session of moderate or vigorous exercise per week.
Some 45 per cent of men and 40 per cent of women were smokers.
This compares with 28 per cent of men and 24 per cent of women in the general population.

According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. Whether the poor or the rich maybe have a bad diet.
B. Even the poor can enjoy enough fruit and fish consumption.
C. Only the poor have a bad diet.
D. The study was conveyed in both the rich and the poor.
2.
What kind of persons maybe eat most sugar?
A. The rich. B. Men. C. The poorest. D. Women
3.
From the passage, we can learn __________.
A. the poor choose unhealthy food because of low income
B. having no access to shops also leads to the poor’s bad diet
C. the poor’s daily fruit intake is as much as general people
D. the number of smokers in the poor is bigger than that in general people
4.

For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead.“We can do without railways” people say,as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary.We all keep hearing that trains are slow,that they lose money,that they’re dying.But this is far from the truth.In these days of expensive oil,the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes.If you want to carry people or goods from place to place,they’re cheaper than planes.And they have much in common with planes.A plane goes in a strange line and so does a railway.What is more,it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another.It doesn’t 1eave you as a plane does,miles and miles from the city center.It doesn’t hold you up as a car does,in endless traffic jams.And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.Far from being dead,the railways are very much alive.Modern railway lines give you a smooth,untroubled journey.Where else can you eat well,sleep in comfort,feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning.For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, traveling at 1 50 miles an hour and more.Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can't use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can't fly in for the same reason.

高一英语单词拼写简单题查看答案及解析
Many people who are overweight have poor digestion(消化). For the most part, poor digestion is not a habit given by our parents. We give it to ourselves through the way we eat. Eating to get less stress or anxiety is often the mistake most people will make.
Oh, poor digestion can lead to weight problems. Here’s how: When a person feels stressed, the part of the central nervous system that connects digestion switches off. This is called the parasympathetic nervous system(副交感神经系统). At those times of stress, the body can take in food and process some of it, but digestion doesn’t work correctly to digest all the nutritional(营养的)goodness from the food. Poor digestion is not always obvious by observing symptoms; you can get some illnesses but not always. Poor digestion can be seemingly silent.
If you eat when you are stressed, anxious, or nervous, you might as well be eating cardboard for all the nutrients your body gets. Yes, eating when stressed is a gaining situation. Now you might think, well, if I’m not digesting, the calories aren’t getting handles, so I should be losing weight. Good idea, but wrong reality. When digestion is not proper, the body starts “starving” from lack of necessary nutrients(营养物). Yes, it goes into a starvation(饥饿)problem and starts absorbing(吸收) fat and energy. It thinks it’s in a famine(饥荒). The good news is that it’s easy to make some corrections and get rid of stress at mealtimes.
If you feel stressed often, it can be helpful to take other food that contains multiple B vitamins. These help, but you could still find yourself stressed at mealtimes.
1.The author wrote the passage to tell us .
A. how to deal with stress at mealtimes
B. what kind of food can be easily digested
C. eating when you’re stressed can cause weight problems
D. eating too much resulted in overweight problems
2.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the first paragraph?
A. Eating is the best way to release stress.
B. We should not release the stress by eating.
C. Eating too much can cause anxiety.
D. The stress problem can be solved during eating.
3. In what way do poor digestion and stress cause body problems?
A. Poor digestion cannot absorb much nutritional goodness from the food.
B. People with poor digestion take in food and process all of it.
C. When people feel stressed, the parasympathetic nervous system switches on.
D. Poor digestion will not lead to overweight problems.
4.Which is NOT the reason why people may have weight problems when eating with stress?
A. The body does not take in what they eat.
B. The digestion system becomes incorrect.
C. People cannot eat much when unhappy.
D. The body will begin to absorb too much fat.

Chores: Good for Kids, Good for You
A recent study showed that most adults did household chores when they were young. 1. Kids nowadays spend a good deal of their time on homework and after-school activities.
An expert said, “Parents today want their kids to spend time on things that can bring them respect. We have stopped doing the one thing that has proven to bring success. 2.”
One study found that young adults who began chores at ages 3 and 4 were more likely to succeed. Compared to no-chore kids, they had better family relations, did better in school, did better at work and were more self-confident.Personal happiness is said to come from strong relationships. It begins by learning to be kind and helpful at home.
If your kids say they have to skip chores to do homework, do not let them off the hook. 3. “What may seem like small messages at the moment,” an expert says, “add up to big messages over time.”
Here are some important ideas from experts:
4. Thank young children for being a “helper,” not just “helping”. It creates a positive identity.
Schedule chore time. Write down chores on a calendar that everyone can see (for example, posted in the kitchen).
Game it. Start small and have young children earn new “levels” of responsibilities, such as going from sorting clothes to earning the right to use the washing machine.
Keep allowances and chores separate. Do not make chores a business trade.
Do chores as shared tasks. 5.
Give chores a PR (public relations) boost. Do not tie chores to punishments. If you complain about doing the dishes,so will your children.
A. Watch your language.
B. That is doing household chores.
C. Instead of saying, “Do your chores,” say, “let’s do our chores.”
D. But the same study showed that most kids today do not do household chores.
E. You shouldn’t tell your child that grades are more important than caring about others

For thousands of years,we have looked for ways to measure time. Early humans found that the regular movements of the sun,the earth,the moon,and the stars made good ways to measure time. The rising and setting of the sun were used to distinguish day from night.
But,eventually,people needed to tell time more accurately,or exactly. So,by using the sun’s position in the sky,they divided the day into dawn,morning,midday and evening.
Then it was noted that the sun cast a changing shadow as it moved across the sky. Time could be told more accurately by setting up a stick and marking the positions of the sun’s shadow. It was the ancient Greeks who divided each position of this “sundial(日晷)” into hours.
But the sun doesn’t always shine. So,for the past 6,000 years,many other ways of keeping time have been tried. Slowburning candles were divided into hours,and the hourglass was invented. When all the sand in the top of an hourglass has shifted to the bottom,an hour has passed.
Later,the pendulum(摆钟),with its regular backandforth movement of weights,was used to move the hands on a clock. Pendulums are still used in grandfather clocks.
Today,even more accurate clocks are in use,such as batteryoperated quartz clocks(石英钟),digital clocks,and clocks run by electrical tuning forks and tiny atoms. These atomic clocks are the most accurate clocks ever invented. The exact time can be kept to within 1 second a century.
1.Humans in the old days used ________ to tell day from night.
A.the rising and setting of the sun
B.batteryoperated quartz clocks
C.atomic clocks
D.digital clocks
2.A sundial works by ________.
A.tracking the movement of the stars around the sun
B.marking a shadow cast by the moving sun
C.burning candles in the sunlight
D.watching the stars
3.Which of the following was NOT used in the past to measure time?
A.An hourglass. B.A sundial.
C.Digital clocks. D.A pendulum.
4.Which of the following ways of measuring time is ordered from the least accurate to the most accurate?
A.Sundial,pendulum,sun.
B.Atomic clock,quartz clock,sundial.
C.Sun,pendulum,atomic clock.
D.Digital clock,hourglass,slowburning candles.
