Researchers found that compared with teens who spent much of their free time in front of TV sets, those who were physically active often had higher self-respect, better grades and were less likely to have risky behavior like taking drugs, smoking, or drinking．The findings, based on a national survey of nearly 12,000 middle and high school students, were published in a journal．

"Across the board, children who engaged in any kind of activity were belier off than kids who watched a lot of TV," said study co author professor Penny Gordon Larsen of the University of North Carolina．

Other studies have linked certain content of television programs, such as violence and sex, to children's behavior．But beyond this issue, Gordon-Larsen said that kids who spend hours watching TV "miss opportunities" to develop skills, learn teamwork and have other experiences that their more active peers benefit from．

That doesn't mean, however, that kids have to be on the football team． The study found that some activities like skating and skateboarding——which adults sometimes frown upon——were also related to better self respect and less risk taking．

That skaters were better behaved than TV watchers might come as a surprise to some adults who consider these teens to be bad, according to Gordon-Larsen．Skateboarding is forbidden in many public areas, and some communities oppose building skating parks．But if kids who like to skate have nowhere to do it, "it's a shame," said Gordon-Larsen．

Not only should parents encourage their kids to engage iii the physical activities they enjoy, she said, but schools and communities should also do more to create opportunities for children to be active．

1.From the passage we know that          .

A．physically active kids get into less trouble

B．more skating parks are being built

C．kids who spend hours watching TV benefit a lot

D．kids who have nowhere to skate tend to take drugs

2.If your kid is a football player, he is more likely to ____

A．get into the habit of smoking or drinking

B．develop teamwork spirit

C．have risky behaviors

D．fail in the schoolwork

3.This passage is mainly written to ___      ．

A．offer some information to teachers and parents

B．persuade kids not to watch a lot of TV

C．urge the public to help children be active

D．show the author's concern about children's growth

4.What does the underlined sentence "which adults sometimes frown upon" in the 4th paragraph mean?

A．Some adults don't understand the sports．

B．Some adults are impatient with kids．

C．Adults consider it dangerous to go skating or skateboarding.

D．Some adults think them related to bad behaviors.

5.It can be inferred from the passage that          .

A．kids are not expected to be active by some parents

B．professor Penny is a famous writer and journalist

C．skateboarding is popular in schools and communities

D．kids are not encouraged to join the football team

Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has spent much of his time seeking artistic solutions(解决方案)to solve our environmental problems. His past projects include "Bioluminescent(生物发光)Trees" to light streets, a "Smog-Free Tower" to clean Beijing's polluted air. and "Gates of Light". which uses the headlamps of passing cars to light up the 60 floodgates of the Afsluitdijk, a major dam in the Netherlands. Now, he is hoping to use his skills to solve a pressing global problem-space junk!

Scientists guess that there are over 500，000 bits of large rubbish. To deal with the problem, Roosegaarde intends to achieve his goal by educating the public about the need of the situation and coming up with possible solutions. The plan. called the Space Waste Lab. started in October 2018 with a laser(激光)show in the Netherlands. The unique outdoor artwork of LEDs used real-time tracking information to point at pieces of space junk floating at altitudes of 200 to 20,000 kilometers. The experience was designed to make the public know more about how much space junk there are.

To find a solution, the designer has been thinking with experts. One of the projects being considered is "Shooting Stars"，which attempts to reintroduce the trash to the atmosphere in a controlled way. Upon reentry. the waste would burn in the atmosphere like a shooting star. Roosegaarde envisages that if successful .burning space trash could someday replace fireworks at large public events!

In September 2018。the RemoveDEBRIS satellite successfully sent a net to catch a target while orbiting at an altitude of about 300 kilometers(190 miles). Sometime this year. the capsule will set free a harpoon that has been designed to remove space trash. At the end of its task，RemoveDEBRIS will let go a sail to bring the satellite itself and hopefully some trash, back into the atmosphere where it will burn up.

1.What can we infer about Daan Roosegaarde?

A.He is too aggressive to put forward good plans.

B.He is creative in solving environmental problems.

C.He is fond of spending all of his time seeking art skills.

D.He is sensitive to art reflected in environmental projects.

2.Why was a laser show held in October 2018?

A.To confirm real-time information about space trash.

B.To show the great beauty of LEDs to common people.

C.To raise public awareness of the amount of space trash.

D.To inspire people to consider the solution to space trash.

3.What does the underlined word "envisage" in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Suspect. B.Demand.

C.Advise. D.Imagine.

4.What is the function of a sail?

A.Bringing the satellite to atmosphere to burn.

B.Keeping trash traveling along its own orbit.

C.Taking the satellite away from atmosphere.

D.Removing space trash out of the capsule.
