作业 Health fears for obese children

Around half a million children in Europe are suffering the health problems of middle-aged people because they are too fat, according to new studies.

The levels of obesity (肥胖) among Europe’s children have been rising for the last 15 years. Experts are now starting to see many health problems appearing.

In Britain, one in five children is overweight or obese (肥胖的). In Spain the figure is 30% of children, and in Italy it reaches 36%. According to the US government, 30% of American children are overweight or obese.

In the new study presented at the start of this year’s European

Congress on Obesity in Athens, experts reported that high blood pressure, raised cholesterol (胆固醇), damaged blood sugar regulation (血糖调节能力) and other dangerous problems — often called the metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合症) —were increasingly being found along with the rising levels of childhood obesity in Europe. “The figures suggest that children in the EU could soon be the same as kids in the US. There the number of kids with the metabolic syndrome doubled from 910,000 to two million in less than 10 yearn,” said the analysis by the International Obesity Task Force, a group of famous obesity scientists and policy experts.

The group estimated (估计) that between 2,000 and 10,000 European children already had the type of diabetes (糖尿病) usually found among middle-aged people.

A statement was made at the conference by Markos Kyprianou, EU Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection.

He made plans for Europe-wide rules to control the selling of unhealthy food to children and other plans for agriculture, education, and transport to deal with the obesity problem.

The European Union would publish new ideas on diet and exercise before the end of the year and have the document checked with the food industry, anti-obesity activists, and others to make a final plan by the end of 2006, Mr. Kyprianou said.

The move follows the big steps taken last year by the World Health Organization, which launched (发起) a global programme on diet and physical activity after health ministers from around the world approved the plan. Questions:

Books are for reading, but man must bring to their

reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. 1 should be active, not passive.

When students first go to a 2 , they may be 3 as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you “look at 4 places in your armor (盔甲)”, and shows you 5 to fill up the blanks in your 6 . On the other hand, it is no good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge: Knowledge in itself is often 7 . A mind

filled 8 too 9 knowledge is like a mom too full of furniture; a man can’t walk about 10 in it, and look out of the windows. It 11 much better to collect a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to match heavily through the whole range of learning, 12 a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably 13 all your friends. So you must 14 to pick and choose and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating 15 on the grassland. If you watch it, 16 , you will see that although it is supposed to be one of the most stupid 17 in the world, it has 18 one of the qualifies of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student 19 mental food in a library should take the 20 as his model.
