16．Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the doctors．I feel there are a number of reasons for this．
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at low prices．This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves．If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probably children would buy less take-away food．
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight．I agree with this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops．If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on throughout their lives．
There is a third reason for this situation．Children these days take very little exercise．They do not walk to school．When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games．Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣），it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports．
The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits．

15．When Joan gave birth to the first boy in her family in three generations，she and her husband were overjoyed．So were her parents．Joan expected her elder sister，Sally，to be just as delighted as them．Joan had always admired Sally---the beauty and the star of the family---and felt happy about her achievements．
But since the baby's arrival，the sisters have become distant．Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely uninterested in her baby．Sally，who has no children，claims that her younger sister"acts as if no one ever had a baby before．"
Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite．Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister---and Sally doesn't like it!Their distance may be temporary，but it shows that childhood competition don't fade easily as ages grow．It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life．
In a study of the University of Cincinnati，65 men and women between ages 25and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters．Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings．In a few cases，these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives．
Many adult brothers and sisters are close，supportive---yet still tend to compete．Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net．Off the court，they are the best of friends．My own younger sister can't wait to tell me when I've put on weight．However，she's a terrible cook and that pleases me； I tease her when she comes to dinner．Happily，despite these small failings，we have been an important resource for each other．
In between the very competitive and the generally supportive children lie those who say that no friendship should survive． Some brothers and sisters stay at arm's length，but never give up competition completely．Why do these puzzling，unproductive，often painful relationships continue to exist？
