　　【科普知识类】

　　Youth who study just a short walk from a fast-food outlet(商店) eat fewer fruit and vegetables,drink more soda and are more likely to be fat than students at other schools,according to a research published Tuesday.

　　The study,which involved more than 500,000 teenagers at middle schools and high schools in California,adds new evidence to a growing backlash against the fast-food industry as studies suggest they contribute to the rising overweight in the United States.

　　揥e抳e basically discovered that kids who are going to a school that is near a fast-food restaurant have a higher chance of being overweight than kids who are at a school that is not near a fast-food restaurant,?said Brennan Davis of Azusa Pacific Univers.erity in California,whose study appears in the American Journal of Public Health.

　　For the study,Davis and his colleagues examined the relationship between fast-food restaurants located within one half mile of schools and overweight among middle and high school students in California.They took weight and dietary(饮食的)information from a statewide school survey between 2002 and 2005.“Overall,our patterns are consistent(一致的)with the idea that fast food near schools affects students?eating habits,overweight,擠avis and his colleagues wrote.They also found that students whose schools were located near fast-food restaurants eat fewer servings of vegetables and fruits,and drink far more soda than students at schools not l aocated near fast-food restaurants.

　　The study could not determine why fast-food restaurants near schools have such an influence,but Davis said a nearby fast-food restaurant is really a hangout place for people to socialize.

　　5.Which kid is most likely to become overweight according to the passage?

　　A.One whose home is near a fast-food outlet. B.One who studies near a fast-food outlet.

　　C.One who takes a short walk to a fast-food outlet D.One whose school is far from a fast-food outlet.

　　6.The researchers believe that fast food outlets near schools can change students?a　. 

　　A.way of thinking B.eating habits

　　C.amount of exercise D.learning ability

　　7.We can learn from the last paragraph that 　. 

　　A.junk food alone causes kids to be overweight

　　B.kids’ way of socializing has little to do with kids’ being overweight

　　C.kids go to fast-food restaurants near schools mainly for food

　　D.fast-food restaurants near schools are also kids’ places of socializing

　　8.The underlined word “backlash” in Paragraph 2 probably means 　. 

　　A.opposition B.discussion C.concern D.standard
