When their parents were children, they imagined a future standing in front of a class of pupils or doing the rounds (巡诊) as a doctor.

     But today’s British teenagers, a survey suggests, seem to have set their sights only on becoming the next Leona Lewis or Wayne Rooney.

     Researchers questioned 3,000 teenagers about their ambitions (strong desire to achieve sth.) and also asked parents about their youthful career hopes.

     According to the survey, youngsters dream of a celebrity (明星) lifestyle, perhaps after finding fame through shows such as the X Factor, and of being actors or sports stars.

     Copying the likes of Rooney and David Beckham was the top career ambition of today’s teenagers, cited (说到) by 12 percent.

     Almost as many, 11 percent, wanted to be pop stars, and the same proportion (比例) dreamed of being actors.

     The success of celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay is likely to explain why becoming a chef is now the dream of 5 percent, a career ambition which did not figure in the list of 25 years ago.

     A quarter of a century back teaching was the top career choice, cited by 15 percent. These days the job is chosen by only 4 percent.

     Of the traditional professions (职业), only law has risen in popularity.

     The survey also suggests that more girls dream of becoming doctors and boys want careers as astronauts or firefighters.

     Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus said the findings reflect(反映)today's celebrity culture and warned children against unrealistic dreams.

     “Children see footballers, pop stars and actors on TV and their lives look exciting, glamorous (光鲜的) and fun,” she said. “It is hard for them to realize that they are the end product of a lot of ingredients including talent, determination and years of hard work. Wayne Rooney is not on the pitch (球场) by chance.”

     As Antrobus pointed out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with children having big dreams, but “these have to be based on reality,” she said.

For years experts have argued that poor households are consuming less nourishing food than the rest of the population.

 But a survey of some of the lowest earners in Britain shows the nutritional value of what they eat is little different to everyone else.

 In fact, the same deficiencies in diet were shared by all the population and the findings suggest that poor eating choices are far more widespread than previously suspected - affecting many wealthier families.

 These included low fruit and vegetable consumption, not eating enough oily fish and eating too much saturated fat and sugar.

 “This is a large and significant study and it shows we are all eating just as bad a diet as each other,” said Tim Lang, professor of food policy at City University.

 The poorest families were eating only slightly more sugar and slightly less fruit and vegetables, according to the study of 3,728 respondents in the bottom of the population.

 Alison Tedstone, head of nutritional science at the Food Standard Agency, said: “ Overall, people on low incomes have less than ideal diets, but their diets are only slightly worse than those of the rest of the population.”

 The study also showed that low earners are choosing to eat unhealthily. Their food choices were not linked to their income, their access to shops or their cooking skills.

 The findings appear to contradict assumptions that the poor cannot afford healthier foods or are too far away from shops that sell them.

 The Low Income Nutrition and Diet Survey showed that like the rest of the population, the poor's daily fruit and vegetable intake on average is below the recommended five portions. Fewer than 10 per cent of respondents hit this target, while around 20 per cent ate less than a portion per day.

 More than three quarters (76 per cent) of men and 81 per cent of women did less than one 30-minute session of moderate or vigorous exercise per week

 Some 45 per cent of men and 40 per cent of women were smokers.

 This compares with 28 per cent of men and 24 per cent of women in the general population.

56. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

   A. Whether the poor or the rich maybe have a bad diet.

   B. Even the poor can enjoy enough fruit and fish consumption.

   C. Only the poor have a bad diet.

   D. The study was conveyed in both the rich and the poor.

57. What kind of persons maybe eat most sugar?

   A. The rich.             B. Men.                        C. The poorest.             D. Women

58. From the passage, we can learn __________.

   A. the poor choose unhealthy food because of low income

   B. having no access to shops also leads to the poor’s bad diet

   C. the poor’s daily fruit intake is as much as general people

   D. the number of smokers in the poor is bigger than that in general people

59. What’s the best title of the passage?[

   A. The poor’s healthy problem.                    B. Keep off junk food.

C. How to have a good diet.                       D. A diet survey.
