【题目】Parents must focus on a healthy balanced lifestyle for their children instead of focusing on weight or dieting in order to prevent obesity(肥胖)and eating disorder among teenagers, say new guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics. The guidelines were developed in response to growing concern about teenagers’ use of unhealthy methods to lose weight.

Quick weight loss methods can cause medical consequences such as unstable heart rate. Also, teenagers who diet in ninth grade are three times more likely than their peers(同龄人)to be over-weight in 12th grade, the researchers said. “Scientific evidence increasingly shows that for teenagers, dieting is bad news,” said lead author Neville Golden, Professor at the Stanford University.

Parents should not encourage dieting, and should avoid “weight talk” such as commenting on their own weight or their children’s weight. Instead parents should help their children develop a healthy body image by encouraging them to eat a balanced diet and exercise for fitness, not weight loss, the researchers states. Further, they should also never tease teenagers about their weight. Negative comments about weight can also be detrimental to a teenager’s health.

“Mothers who talk about their own bodies and weights can encourage their kids to have body dissatisfaction, which we see in half of teenage girls and a quarter of boys,” Golden noted. Such dissatisfaction is associated with lower levels of physical activities and with use of laxatives(泻药)to control weight.

Families should eat regular meals together, the researchers suggested, adding that eating family meals is likely to prevent weight problems, said the paper published online in the journal Pediatrics. Eating too fast, eating when not hungry, always eating dessert, eating out often are not advisable when you watch your weight.

1What is likely to happened to teenagers if they go on a diet in ninth grade?

A. Their studies will suffer a lot

B. They’ll probably have unstable heart rate

C. They’re more likely to be overweight in 12th grade

D. They’ll probably have eating disorder problems

2What should parents do to prevent teenager obesity?

A. Urge teenagers to go on a strict diet

B. Comment on their own weight when eating

C. Express their dissatisfaction about their bodies

D. Encourage teenagers to eat healthily and exercise properly

3What does the underlined word “detrimental” in the third paragraph probably mean?

A. Strange B. Harmful

C. Necessary D. Deadly

4Which is considered helpful to prevent overweight?

A. Eating family meals more often

B. Eating only when hungry

C. Dinning out often

D. Eating too slow

Since 2007, the American Psychological Association (APA) has conducted a survey of different aspects of stress in America. This year's analysis focused on teens, and on a 10 point scale, adolescents ranked their stress at 5-8, compared with a score of 5-1 reported by adults.
“What is even more disturbing,” says Norman Anderson, CEO and executive vice president of the APA, “is the fact that most teens knew their stress levels weren't healthy—they said 3-9 was probably more desirable—but did little about it.” In fact, the survey revealed that 42% of teens aren't doing enough to manage their stress.
The researchers were concerned about it, since unaddressed stress can lead to both short-term mental-health issues such as depression, as well as lay the seeds for long-lasting conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure in adulthood.
What’s causing teens to feel so anxious? Eighty three percent cited school as a source of stress, including concerns about their future after high school and worries about college. For some, family financial issues also caused anxiety, which wasn’t surprising since previous studies found that parental stress can pass down onto children, even at very young ages.
“This branch of population is not taken seriously sometimes,” said Katherine Nordal, of the APA, “we wanted to shine light on some of the problems we know teens are having and whether they are successful at coping with them or not.”
“Clearly,” said Anderson, “we have work to do to manage stress overall. Stress levels among Americans continue to be high, but coping mechanisms(机制) remain ineffective,” Teens reported doing everything that they probably shouldn't in order to relieve stress—they aren't getting enough sleep, which can add to anxious feelings, and they're less physically active. Exercise is among the best ways to reduce stress, but the survey found that teens were beginning to rely on sitting activities, such as surfing the internet, engaging in social media or watching videos, to relieve stress.
(1)From paragraph one, we can learn that___________.
A.no survey has been carried out among teens before
B.different aspects of stress mainly existed in adults

A.The government took some measures to reduce teens' stress.
B.Most teens took it for granted and did nothing about it.
C.42% of teens thought it natural to some stress.
D.Most teens were worrying about their stress levels.
(3)The underlined word “depression” in paragraph 3 is closet in meaning to “___________”.
A.sorrow
B.surprise
C.unhappiness
D.depth
(4)Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A.America's Teens Outscore Adults on Stress
B.America Teens' Education in High School
C.American Adolescents' Mental and Physical Health Issues

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology used across the globe. A 1 misunderstanding is that the term Wi-Fi is short for “wireless fidelity(保真度)”. However, this is not the case.

A person or business can use a wireless router( 路由器) or a similar 7 to create a “hotspot” or an area in which proper devices can connect wirelessly to a network or 8 Internet access. This router is usually connected to the Internet by 9 of a modem, often one 10 as a high-speed connection. Any user within about 200 feet of the 11 point can then connect to the Internet, 12 for good transfer rates, distances of 100 feet or less are often suggested. Salespersons also sell signal boosters(放大器)that 13 the range of a wireless network.
Wi-Fi networks can either be 14 or closed, in which case a 15 is needed. An area blanketed in wireless access through a device is often called a “wireless 16.” Anyone with a device that 17 proper functionality can connect to this network while in the hotspot. Through this connection, a 18 network can be accessed or Internet connectivity can be achieved. This allows people within the hotspot to connect to the Internet via the router and modem, often 19 for employees at a business or as a free 20 at coffee shops and similar locations.

【题目】Here are four tips to enjoy a Swedish summer.

Stay in a cottage

There are nearly 600,000 summer houses in Sweden. And more than 50% of the Swedes have access to them through family or friends. A few of the most popular summer house destinations for Swedes can be found in the provinces of Smaland, Skane and Oland. If you want to spend your summer like a Swede, make sure to spend a few nights in a cottage.

Follow the trail to Gotland

The island of Gotland is where half of Stockholmers go during the summer. In the medieval (中世纪)city of Visby, ancient streets and city walls meet modern restaurants, cafes and shops. A short ferry ride northeast of Gotland lies the smaller island of Faro, where director Ingmar Bergman used to live. Both Faro and Gotland are famous for their many flea markets.

Check out a music festival

Swedish summer is a festival season. Way Out West, or WOW, is the most popular music festival with about 30,000 visitors. It is usually held in Gothenburg park of Slottsskogen in August. It has been prized as the Most Innovative Festival by MTV and, since 2012, WOW has only served vegetarian food(素食). The decision, praised by Jamie Oliver, has reduced the festival’s carbon footprint by 20%. WOW is also Europe’s biggest combined music and film festival.

Pick blueberries in Dalarna

Dalarna is perhaps the most Swedish province, with its red wooden cottages, deep green forests and Dala horses. This region is perfect for making yourself involved in traditional Midsummer celebrations or listening to Swedish folk music. When you need a break from all of this loud Swedishness, head into the woods for some quiet blueberry picking.
