Many kids dont drink enough water daily, according to a new study. The studys lead author, Erica Kenney, at first planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools. However, during her research she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water.

Kenney and her team examined data from a group of 4,000 children, aged 6 to19. The data was taken from the National Health and Nutrition Survey, a study on the health of children in the United States done each year by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kids who took part in the study were dehydrated (脱水的). Of that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their system. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all.

These findings highlight (突出) a possible health issue that wasnt given a lot of attention in the past, Kenney said in a statement. Even though for most of these kids this is not an immediate and great health risk, this is an issue that could really be reducing quality of life and well-being for many children and youth.

The United States-National Agriculture Library says average kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water, such as celery, melons or tomatoes. It is also suggested that fluids (液体) come from water instead of sugary drinks that are high in calories and can lead to weight problems.

【1】What was Erica Kenneys purpose in doing the study?

A. To study if kids drink enough water daily.

B. To prove that sugary drinks are harmful to kids

C. To show what kind of sugary drinks kids love.

D. To find out how many sugary drinks kids drink at school.

【2】According to the findings of Erica Kenneys study, we know that ________.

A. school kids cannot find drinkable water easily

B. boys are more likely to get dehydrated than girls

C. sugary drinks are very popular with school kids

D. most kids know the importance of drinking plain water

【3】From the last paragraph we learn that kids________.

A. should drink plain water to lose weight

B. can try to take in water from sugary drinks

C. can eat celery, melons and tomatoes for water

D. should drink no more than 10 cups of water every day

【4】The text mainly tells us that many kids __________.

A. dont like drinking water

B. prefer sugary drinks to water

C. are at risk of health problems

D. dont drink enough water daily

【答案】

【2】B

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

本文属于说明文,主要介绍的是现在的孩子水分摄入量远远没有达到所需要的标准。

【1】D 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知Erica Kenney的研究原本是想调查学生在校所喝的含糖饮料的数量的问题。故选D。

【2】B 推理判断题。根据第三段前两句可知,超过一半参加调查的孩子都有脱水现象,其中男孩比女孩少喝水的可能性更大。也就是说男孩比女孩更容易脱水。故B。

【3】C 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句可知孩子们除了直接喝水之外,还可以从其他富含水分的食物中摄入水,如celery, melons, tomatoes这些蔬菜和水果。故C。

【4】D 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句可知本文主要告诉我们现在的孩子水分摄入严重不足,接下来几段对这一现象展开说明。故D。

Even if trees cannot walk, they are still on the move.

In parts of the Arctic, entire forests are moving northward. Across the Arctic, temperatures are rising faster than anywhere else in the world. As that happens, the tree line that marks where forests stop and the treeless tundra(冻土地带) starts has been shifting northward. Trees growing along the tree line must protect themselves from the cold wind. To do this, plants tend to grow horizontal(水平的) branches low to the ground. The energy it takes for trees to grow this way means they dont have enough energy to make seeds.

But as Earth’s climate has been warming, trees no longer have to just grow horizontally. Many can instead grow up toward the sky. This takes less energy. And with all the leftover energy. these trees have started producing more seeds. This happens especially in places where the white spruce(白云杉) grows.

White spruce, which is a North American tree, is quite able to produce a lot of seeds, which can move long distances in the wind. When wind-blown seeds end up on the tundra beyond the tree line, they eventually can sprout(发芽) new trees. This explains how a forest can move. Of course, the process would work only if the tundra were warm enough. But in recent years, the whole planet has been warming.

New trees will provide shelters for some snow, keeping the sun’s rays from making the white surface disappear. Instead, the trees absorb the sun’s heat. This warms the surrounding air. The extra warmth encourages even more trees to produce seeds. That further boosts a forest’s ability to expand. In addition, more trees will trap more snow, preventing much of it from being blown away. Snow can trap heat in the soil below, which encourages trees to grow. The recent rise of temperature has helped more trees grow. The recent rise of temperatures has helped more trees grow past the tree line. People worry about impacts on the animals that depend on frozen conditions for food and shelter.

【1】What is the main cause of the trees in the Arctic moving northward?

A. The rising temperature.

B. The shrinking of northern tundra.

C. The fierce and cold wind.

D. The abundant resources in the north.

【2】What does the underlined wordthisin Paragraph 2 mean?

A. To produce more seeds.

B. To move northward.

C. To respond to the climate change.

D. To protect themselves from the cold wind.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. New trees can trap the snow, which may make the soil colder.

B. The trapped snow prevents new trees from producing more seeds.

C. New trees can make the surrounding air warmer.

D. New trees can bring more food and shelter for local animals.

【4】The passage is most probably taken from _______.

A. a health report B. a science report

C. a fashion magazine D. a children’s magazine

As we know, it’s the beginning of the end for TV. Apple has released Apple TV, a tiny white box that connects the shows and movies you’ve downloaded from the computer, and wirelessly sends them to your TV screen.

No longer will you have to pay a monthly fee to your cable (有线的) company to watch your favourite show. Apple’s iTunes has made it possible to download a TV show for about $ 2, keep it stored on your computer and watch it whenever you want. It’s a blow to the cable networks, which offer services that are often expensive and make hundreds of channels and thousands of shows nothing to watch.

American networks have gone one step further, allowing audiences to watch their shows for free online. If the cable companies don’t keep up with technology, we’ll soon be giving them up.

“This is the biggest kind of entertainment in history,” says Colin Dixon.“I don’t think that traditional broadcasts — cable and satellite — are going away tomorrow, but they must change to keep market share.”

The Internet changes businesses at an unbelievable speed. Now it’s happening with video. Canadians are being kept behind the times. Some Canadian channels are starting to follow American companies. Global offered Survivor: Cook Islands online, and CTV is doing the same for Degrassi: The Next Generation. And cable companies say that video on demand and personal video recording technology can compete with the Net.

“You watch when you want it,” says Michael Lee,adding that the Net doesn’t give viewers the opportunity to just sit on the couch and flip (翻阅) through channels.

However, it takes time.

“Up until this year even the US sites didn’t offer a lot of online content. We’ve seen an explosion of it this fall,” she says.
