Over the past 20 years, the number of children who are overweight has increased by more than 50%.About 25% to 30% of school-age children in the United States are overweight or obese (肥胖的), which puts them at a high risk for heart disease and other health problems.
According to the experts, poor eating habits and inactivity are the root causes of childhood obesity. In addition, the high level of fat calories in the average United States diet combined with the inactive lifestyle of many children is contributing to (促成) the rapid increase in childhood obesity.
If a child is more than 40% overweight, a scientific weight loss program may be suggested to change the child's eating behaviors. During the course of the program, the emphasis should be on developing a healthier lifestyle for the long term, not just on losing weight now. Children are developing physically and mentally, and they need adequate nutrition (足够的营养) as they grow. Combining a healthy diet with exercise is the best way to achieve healthy level of body fat.
Dr. Gidding, a professor at Yale University, explains that many children or teens tend to become overweight because of too many calories and too little exercise. “If your child or teen tends to sit around and watch television or play video games, try gently introducing more physical activities into your family life，” suggests Dr. Gidding. “Take a walk together or go for a bike ride. Make good nutrition and exercise a family affair by planning lower fat meals, nutritious snacks and family activities.”

The number of snow geese arriving in the Arctic each spring to breed has risen over the past few decades. At first, wildlife biologists saw this as an environmental crisis, pointing to marshes（湿 地 ） where plants were eaten by the hungry birds. In response, the federal government loosened restrictions on snow goose hunting.
But how do the Inuit, in whose backyard this is taking place, view the situation? A recent plan is giving Inuit wildlife experts the opportunity to lend their knowledge to managing the species. The snow goose study, which is supported in part by Polar Knowledge Canada and led by the Kivalliq Wildlife Board (an Inuit organization that manages hunting, trapping and fishing in central Nunavut), asked the experts to share their generations of knowledge about snow geese and their views on what should be done.
“The community had concerns about controlling the population,” says Ron, a community officer of the Kivalliq Inuit Association, “and Inuit snow goose knowledge had never been recorded. People wanted to pass on what they knew.” Inuit experts disagreed with that, considering it wasteful and unnecessary. They felt hunting more snow geese in an organized way, such as paying local hunters a minimal amount of money and distributing the birds to disadvantaged families or operating a limited commercial hunt by employing local people, would be appropriate.
Inuit wildlife experts will plan to call on scientists this fall. They say they hope to search for a common way forward and that while there may be too many snow geese in some areas, it’s not a crisis. Biologists now generally agree that there seem to be plenty of undamaged marshes available and newer research shows that some damaged areas can recover.
“Now that we have recorded and documented Inuit knowledge of snow geese,” says Ron, “when facing the crisis other people will be able to use the information to help manage the species, which is fundamental to dealing with it effectively.”
1.Why did the federal government loosen limitations on snow goose hunting?
A. To make more profits. B. To create more marshes.
C. To wipe out the hungry birds. D. To protect the ecosystem.
2.Which of the following might Inuit wildlife experts agree with?
A. Organizing large commercial hunts.
B. Using snow goose hunting to man’s best advantage.
C. Regarding too many snow geese as a crisis.
D. Hunting as many snow geese as possible.
3.What might biologists think about the marshes’ future now?
A. It’s a bit promising. B. It’s unpredictable.
C. It’s too discouraging. D. It’s hard to get better.
4.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The species. B. Inuit knowledge.
C. The crisis. D. Inuit research.
