A Whether at fast food places or fullserv?ice restaurants,kids who eat out are likely to consume more calories,sugar,fat and salt,researchers report.
They also noted that kids are eating out more,partic?ularly in fast food restaurants,which has helped drive the obesity epidemic among children and teenagers.
"Every day,about 40 per cent of American children eat at these restaurants ,”said lead researcher Lisa Powell. " We need policies that promote healthier food choices,rather than one that promotes unhealthy food choices. We also need to change the environment in the restaurant so that there won't be harmful effects on diet." This would include not offering free refills on soda and in?creasing healthier food choices,she explained.
A lot of the extra calories came from sodas,which kids and teenagers drink when they eat out,the research?ers said. This problem is particularly severe among poorer families. Eating at fast food restaurants is a way to get a lot of food inexpensively,Powell noted.
"Even with the general outcry that portions are too big,too high in sodium,fat and sugar,restaurants and fast food chains continue to increase the piece sizes of their foods," said Samantha Heller,an exercise physiologist.
"In addition,food companies encourage buying the bigsized products compared with the smaller piece”， Heller added,noting that a recent study reported that competition has encouraged the food industry to offer lar?gersize portions as a way to expand market share.
"It's no wonder kids are gaining weight and suffering from adult diseases such as high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. We need to encourage people to cook at home more often and dismiss the myth that eating at home is more expensive than eating out”，she added.
"Planning menus ahead,making shopping lists and carving out time for homecooked meals will make eating at home easier,more enjoyable and healthier for the whole family," Heller said.

4. Had I been a little more careful,I (not make) such a foolish mistake.
Failure is part of our life. Somebody has ever achieved great success without lots of failures. One expe?rience left lasting impression on me. I've been fond of pla?ying the piano since my childhood. Last year there was a piano competition for teenager in my city and I took a part in it. I couldn't wait to show off. The day finally came. However,when I was on the stage I was very nervous that I made several mistakes while playing. My perform?ance was a completely failure！
It was only after the competition when I realized my failure resulted in my lack of practice. From then on,I devoted more time to play the piano because I firmly be?lieve that practice make perfect.
It's only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it "extremely embarrassing" in a companywide email—which1 ， he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what1did was something 2 in the company should ever do.
I wish I 3 give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least,I wish I could explain it somehow― 4 it on youth,inexperience or ignorance. Unfortu?nately,I'm 5 ,experienced and I know better.
6 I work with some very kind and compassionate (富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to 7 by my desk and offer comfort,encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar 8 they have made. Evidently I'm not the only " 9 " person here.
One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois,the muchhonoured,muchrespected professional who 10 the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely11about her work,and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would 12 to such an extremely embarrassing incident.
As I expected,Lois didn't pass over the 13 when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly,14 with empathetic consideration. She listened to my 15 . Just as I was ready to express my regrets,she brought my selfpity partly to a(n) 16 .
"It happened", she said. "There's nothing you can do to 17 that. It hap?pened. But it's over now. It's 18 . It's in the past. You need to let it go,and move on."And with that she returned her 19 to her work,as if to say, "We're done here."
I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those 20 words：It's over. It's done. Let it go. And mostly,move on.
