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, 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 steer them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits. 1.According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food? A．Those who often take exercise. B．Those who often watch television. C．Those who often have meals at home. D．Those who often walk to school. 2.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because ． A．their parents often cook meals for them B．they are too busy to go out and play C．they can' t choose what to eat D．there are too many fast food shops around 3.The word "steer" underlined in the last sentence most probably means . A．force B．guide C．expect D．observe 4.The main purpose of the text is to . A．tell a story B．provide facts C．give advice D．compare opinions

There is a growing problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment. Electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers, so they throw them in the trash. National Solid Wastes Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans produce is not unexpected. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills(垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore, says, "There are a lot of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components, there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill," Fannon explains. Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in an effort to keep e-waste poisons like lead(铅) and mercury（汞） out of garbage dumps. This year, several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted landfill bans, e-waste recycling programs or both. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling. "We can do much better," noted Miller. "I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers." 1.Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste? A. Old televisions. B. Old computers. C. Old cell phones D. Old newspapers. 2. Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states? A. Because it can not be recycled. B. Because it might damage the environment. C. Because it can be shipped to other countries. D. Because the landfills are already full. 3.According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste? A. Recycling it. B. Selling it. C. Burying it. D. Breaking it. 4.What can we learn from the passage? A. At present, less then 10 percent of e-waste is recycled. B. Chaz Miller works for EPA. C. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills. D. Experts are optimistic about the future of e-waste.

Many people believe that classical music has nothing to do with young people today. However, this issue(问题) frequently causes heated debate. Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people. For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the majority is over the age of fifty. Others say it is more popular than we first imagine. Many young people listen to classical music without realizing it. It is often used in films and advertisements. For example, a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup. Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it. Also, some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱) music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music. However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practice for hours. Nowadays, you don’t need to get aching arms from practicing. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom. A final point to bear in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras. This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant（与…相关） to young people. So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realize!
