The children were surveyed between 2003 and 2007.ercise outside of gym class at least five days a week. Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV,playing computer games, or chatting with friends—aside from time in school or time spent doing homework—were classified as sedentary.
The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of boys and nearly 30 percent of girls were sedentary and didn't get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia.

Our lives were supposed to be more flexible and familyfriendly thanks to the technology at our fingertips. But in this age of BlackBerrys, recession pressures, working at home after hours and on weekends, family time may not be working out the way we thought.
Busy parents who expected more time with the kids are finding that more work hours at home don't necessarily translate into quality time with them.
A new generation of parents need to discover the meaning of “quality time”, researchers say. “Personally, just given the life I lead, I think there is something to this idea of quality time—spending productive time with children vs. just being around,” says Peter Brandon, a professor at Carleton College. He says engaging or interacting with a child in activities such as reading or playing counts as quality time rather than “passive monitoring”, such as washing the dishes while the child is watching TV.This_time_with_children_pays_off,” Brandon says. He notes that good parentchild relationships result in children being happier and more successful, including at school.new research on work and family schedules to be presented Friday at the meeting in Dallas includes a study that shows parents' availability is on the decline because more parents are in the workforce. Although parents today may be spending more time on child care, they are less available overall.
Working parents who spend less time with their children should try to make sure the time they do spend is communicating with them, vs. doing the dishes or spending more time on themselves, Brandon says “The tradeoff is not necessarily taking away time from your kid,” he says, “You're taking ________.
A.technology lets parents work at home
B.parents are satisfied with their work
C.technology makes our lives much easier
D.the family time is not always satisfying
21.We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.
A.some families are not experiencing quality time
B.it's enough for parents to stay with their children
C.parents enjoy engaging in workathome activities
D.working hours at home can transform into quality time
22.According to Brandon, the quality time means ________.
A.just being around with children
B.work time is separate from family time
C.spending interactive time with children
D.letting the children do whatever they want to do
23.The underlined sentence “This time with children pays off” means________.
A.the time with children is of little value
B.the time with children costs quite a lot
C.the time with children leads to good result
D.the time with children has a bad effect on them
24.What will the author most probably talk about in the next part of the passage?
A.How to spend more time at home.
B.How to do the dishes in a proper way.
C.How to spend more time in working at home.
D.How to take away time in a much proper way.

课后阅读---------Too high a price? 代价太高?
Pollution is the price we pay for an overpopulated, over industrialized planet. When you come to think about it, there are only four ways you can deal with rubbish: dump it, burn it, turn it into something you can use again, attempt to produce less of it. We keep trying all four methods, but he sheer volume of rubbish we produce worldwide threatens to overwhelm us.
Rubbish, however, is only part of the problem of polluting our planet. The need to produce ever-increasing quantities of cheap food leads to a different kind of pollution. Industrialized farming methods produce cheap meat products: beef, pork and chicken. The use of pesticides and fertilizers produces cheap grain and vegetables. The price we pay for cheap food may be already too high: Mad Cow Disease (BSE) in cattle, salmonella in chicken and eggs, and wisteria in dairy products. And if you think you'll abandon meat and become a vegetarian, you have the choice of very expensive organically-grown vegetables or a steady diet of pesticides every time you think you're eating fresh salads and vegetables, or just having an innocent glass of water!
However, there is an even more insidious kind of pollution that particularly affects urban areas and invades our daily lives, and that is noise. Burglar alarms going off at any time of the day or night serve only to annoy passers-by and actually assist burglars to burgle. Car alarms constantly scream at us in the street and are a source of profound irritation. A recent survey of the effects of noise revealed (surprisingly?) that dogs barking incessantly in the night rated the highest form of noise pollution on a scale ranging from 1 to 7. The survey revealed a large number of sources of noise that we really dislike. Lawn mowers whining on a summer's day, late-night parties in apartment blocks, noisy neighbors, vehicles of al kinds, especially large container trucks thundering through quiet village, planes and helicopters flying overhead, large radios carried round in public places and played at maximum volume. New technology has also made its own contribution to noise. A lot of people object to mobile phones, especially when they are used in public places like restaurants or on public transport. Loud conversations on mobile phones invade our thoughts or interrupt the pleasure of meeting friends for a quiet chat. The noise pollution survey revealed a rather spurring and possibly amusing old fashioned source of noise. It turned out to be snoring! Men were found to be the worst offenders. It was revealed that 20% of men in their mid-thirties snore. This figure rises to a staggering 60% of men in their sixties. Against these figures, it was found that only 5% of women snore regularly, while the rest are constantly woken or kept awake by their trumpeting partners. Whatever the source of noise, one thing is certain: silence, it seems, has become a golden memory.
污染就是我们为这个人口过密,过度工业化的星球所付出的代价。当我们开始考虑垃圾问题时,我们只有4种对付垃圾的方法:倾倒、焚烧、把垃圾变成再生材料或试图少产生一些垃圾。我们一直在试这4种方式,但是,我们在世界范围内仅产生的垃圾的量就有把我们覆盖的危险。
然而,垃圾只是我们这个星球的污染问题的一个方面。日益增长的对廉价食物的需求导致了另一种形式的污染。工业化的农作方式生产出廉价的肉类制品——牛肉、猪肉和鸡肉。使用杀虫剂和化肥生产出廉价的谷物和蔬菜。为了廉价食物我们付出代价已经太高了:牛肉中的疯牛病,鸡肉和鸡蛋中的沙门氏菌,奶制品中的利斯特杆菌。如果你想放弃肉类而变成一位素食者,那么你可以两者择一:或是选用价格昂贵、有机培植的蔬菜,或是当你认为在享用新鲜色拉和新鲜蔬菜或饮用一杯无害的水的时候,实际上每次都不断吃进杀虫剂。
但是,还有一种更加隐蔽有害的污染,它专门影响城镇地区,侵袭我们的日常生活,那就是噪音。防盗警报器在白天和黑夜的任何时候都会响起来,它的作用只是骚扰过路行人,而实际上却帮助窃贼入室行窃。在街上,汽车的防盗警报不断对我们吼叫,这是人们极度烦燥的一个原因,最近一个有关噪音的作用的调查(令人吃惊地)指出,夜间连续不断的狗叫声,在一个从1级至7级刻度表上应列为最严重的噪间污染。这个调查揭示了我们所不喜欢的大量的噪间的来源:夏天呜呜作响的割草机,公寓楼里深夜聚会的喧哗声,大声吵闹的邻居,各式各样的车辆,特别是穿越寂静的村庄的集装箱卡车,从头顶飞过的飞机和直升机,被带到公共场所、音量开到最大的大功率收音机。新技术也为噪音作了它的贡献。许多人都反对移动式电话,特别是在如饭店,公共交通车等公共场所使用移动电话。用移动电话大声交谈干扰我们的思路,破坏我们和朋友在一起轻声聊天所得到的乐趣。这个有关噪音的污染调查还揭示了一种出人意外而同时可能会引人意外而同时可能会引人发笑的老式噪音源。它竟然是鼾声。人类是这方面的罪魁祸首。调查指出,20%的35岁左右的男人打鼾;而到60岁这个年龄段,这个数字上升到令人惊愕的60%。与这些数字相比,只有5% 的女性经常打鼾;而其余则经常被与她们同睡、像吹号似地打着呼噜的男人吵醒或弄得睡不着。不管噪声来自何方,有一点是肯定的:看来寂静已变成一种珍贵的回忆。

A
Is there someone you hate?Well,maybe you don’t really hate them.But you do get really angry every time you think of them.If you don’t overcome this anger,it can turn into bitterness (积怨).
Bitterness can result when we can’t forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry.Someone might say or do something that hurts us.But instead of working through the anger,we keep it deep inside.Before long,a bitter feeling begins to grow.Bitterness shows when we constantly criticize the one who hurts us.We may think we’re hurting that person,but we’re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness is a harmful emotion that affects the whole body.It can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure.Bitterness can keep us from concentrating on important things.Finally,holding onto bitterness can hurt our relationships with friends and family members.No one enjoys being around an angry,negative person for very long.
Author Chuck Swindoll once said,“Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it.”That means when someone hurts you,your response is more important than what happened.You can choose to let go of hurt,or you can hold onto it,which results in bitterness.
If you see bitterness in your life,here are some ways to handle it.
Instead of denying(否定) your anger,admit it to yourself.Then see your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
You may feel you have a right to be angry.You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong.You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad.But in the end,bitterness hurts you much more than the other person.Bitterness will hold you back,and the other person will go on with his or her life.
The best thing you can do is forgive and forget.You probably can’t completely put the act out of your mind.But you can decide to forgive the other person.Let it go and move on.You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.

Last year college students in America spent an estimated $700 on textbooks on average.The National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks and course materials.
The association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now just make up 2%~3% of sales.But he says that is expected to reach 10%~15% by 2012.
Online versions(版本) are now available for many of the most popular college textbooks.An etextbook can cost half the price of a new print textbook.But students usually lose access to them after the end of the term.And the books cannot be placed on more than one device(设备),so they are not easy to share.
So what do students think of etextbooks?Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University wanted to find it out.Earlier this year they tested them with 500 students in 20 classes.
The university is unusual.It provides laptop computers for all 7,000 of its fulltime students.It does not require students to buy their textbooks either.They rent them to save money.The school aims to save even more by moving to etextbooks.
The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy.They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks.And 56% said they were better able to find information.
But most found that using etextbooks did not change their study habits.And 60% felt they read more when they were reading on paper.In all,almost half the students said they still liked physical textbooks better.
But the survey found that cost could be a big influence.55% said they would choose etextbooks if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase.
Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest Missouri State University.He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the etextbooks now available because the majority are not interactive(交互式的).
He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video,activities,games and other ways to interact with the information.The technology is improving.But for now,most of the books are just words on a screen.
21.Etextbooks are not better than paper books in that________.
A.they cost more money
B.they’re difficult to carry
C.they’re not convenient to share
D.they can’t be downloaded from the Internet
22.How many surveyed students think paper books make better reading?
A.60%.B.56%.C.55%.D.50%.
23.Northwest Missouri State University equips its students with computers to________.
A.help students to save money
B.make profits by renting etextbooks
C.check whether students like using computers
D.make it convenient for them to read etextbooks
24.Why are etextbooks now available not satisfactory?
A.Readers cannot interact with the authors.
B.The contents cannot meet readers’ need.
C.Most of them are just words on a screen.
D.They lack necessary relevant information.
25.It can be inferred from the text that in the future________.
A.digital books will be more popular
