up(加快)during practices. For example, the coach could give each player a ball at the same time. Rather than focusing on one player’s skills, it’s best to get the whole team moving.
But, the study says, the bottom line is that team sports aren’t enough exercise.
For a child to meet the US physical activity suggestions, the kid will have to do
more than just join a team. Exercise is also necessary during breaks, during
physical education class, after school and even on the way to school.

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized.
Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled
everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got
messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her
tidy desk. So we both got tired of each other．

screaming ，“Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened ，I saw my

expression was such disbelief．Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine．I

But less than half of children and just 10% of teens meet these suggestions. What’s the deal? It’s reported that about 44million US kids participate in organized sports(such as baseball, softball, soccer).But a new study says just one-quarter of kids get the government-recommended amount of exercise when they show up for team practices. The study, published online last month in a medical journal, says younger kids and boys do better than teens and girls. The study looked at 200 kids aged 7 to 14 who played on soccer, baseball and softball teams. The kids wore sensors to measure their activity during practices. During each practice, kids averaged 30 minutes of downtime(停工期). “It is not clear how much physical activity is provided by youth sports practices,” say the California-based authors of the study. “Much of the time may be inactive, such as receiving verbal instructions and waiting for turns.” 名师点拨 金榜题名

Speaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging
on the brain, a new study has found. Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(认知的) task to another, something that’s known to take longer for older adults, said lead researcher, Brian Gold, a neuroscientist at the University of
Kentucky. Gold’s team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults, knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However, they found that older adults who spoke two languages were able
to switch mental activities faster than those didn’t. The study only looked at
life-long bilinguals, defined in study as people who had spoken a second language
daily since they were at least 10 years old. Gold and his team asked 30 people, either bilingual or monolingual, to have a series of tests. They found that bilingual people were not only able to switch tasks faster, they had different brain activity than their monolingual peers.
Kristina called bilingualism "a beautiful natural experiment”, because people grow up speaking two languages, and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them.
Gold said he grew up in Montreal, where he spoke French at school and
English at home, prompting relatives to question whether his French language
immersion （专心）would somehow hinder his ability to learn English. "Until very recently, learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous," he said. "Actually, it's beneficial.” 29. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Researchers found that bilingual people can slow down the speed or aging on the brain and respond fast. B. Researchers found that bilingual people respond slowly.
C. Researchers found that speaking two languages is important.
D. Researchers found that bilingual people are great. 30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Older bilinguals can’t respond faster in mind.
B. Young bilinguals can respond faster in mind than those monolinguals. C. Older adults speaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old can respond faster than those who don't. D. Bilingual children respond slower in mind than those monolinguals. 31. In Gold’s opinion, learning a second language in childhood is______.
A ．dangerous to children B. not beneficial to children C. dangerous but beneficial to children D. not dangerous but beneficial
to children D Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don’t show your secret personality when you're
sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course，people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in．
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas．You don’t like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings．You’re quite shy and you aren't very confident．
If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, bu t you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time．
If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re oft en defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own．You're easily hurt．
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strong points and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious ，but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people．

： less red meat and more fiber, less saturated fat (饱和脂肪) and more fruit and vegetables, right? Wrong, according to a controversial new book by nutritionist Zoe Harcombe. In the book, Harcombe charts her careful journey of research into studies that underpin (巩固) dietary advice —and her myth(误区) －breaking conclusions are surprising.
Myth ：“Real fat is not bad for us，”says Harcombe.“It ’s man-made fats we should be demonizing.”Why do we have this idea that meat is full of saturated fat? In a 100g pork chop, there is 2.3g of unsaturated fat and 1.5g of saturated fat.
Myth: We should eat more fiber.
For three decades, we have eaten fiber into our bodies to help us feel full and keep our digestive systems moving.“”， says Harcombe.
The advice to eat more fiber is put forward along with the theory that we need to clean our digestive systems. But essential minerals are absorbed from food while it is in the intestines (肠道), so why do we want to wash everything out? Concentrate on not putting bad foods in.
Myth: You need to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. “Five-a-day is the most well-known piece of nutritional advice ，” says
Harcombe. “You ’d think it was based on firm evidence of health ‘Five-a-day ’started as a marketing campaign by 25 fruit and
vegetable companies and the American National Cancer Institute in 1991.There was no evidence for any cancer benefit.”
Myth: Fruit and vegetables are the most nutritious things to eat.
Apparently not Harcombe allows that vegetables are a great addition to the diet —if served in butter to deliver the fat －soluble(dissolved) vitamins they contain —but natural sugar, the fruit sugar in fruit, goes straight to the liver and is 名师点拨 金榜题名
animal foods —meat, fish, eggs and dairy products —beat those in fruit hands down. ”

B ．This is not a good idea C ．Fat is bad for us

Being responsible is actually not that difficult. I used to think it is hard to grow up into a responsible member of the society. An incident happening in a rainy Sunday afternoon changed my attitude. I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light while a girl was knocked down by passing car, which drove off quickly.

Being responsible is actually not that difficult. I used to think it is hard to grow up into a responsible member of the society. An incident happening in a rainy Sunday afternoon changed my attitude. I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light while a girl was knocked down by passing car, which drove off quickly. A man immediately gave her first aid and I had joined in without hesitation. Soon many help was given to the girl. Because we sent her to the nearest hospitals in time, she was able to receive properly treatment. Not badly injured, I expressed gratitude to those giving help. Compar ed with the escaping driver, I was proud of what I did.
