Teenagers who do not get enough of the nutrients commonly found in fruits and fish are easier to have bad lungs, coughing and wheezing (喘息).Teens who eat the least of fruit and especially vitamin C have weaker lungs compared to the others.
Teens who take in less vitamin E, found in vegetable oil and nuts, are more likely to have asthma(哮喘), Jane Bums at the Harvard School of Public Health found.
Based on these findings.Bums said that current recommended dose(一剂)of vitamin C, 85 mg a day, may not be enough for teens to have healthy lungs.Teens who eat less fruit and don"t take in enough fatty acids (脂肪酸) are more likely to have asthma and the signs of breathing difficulty.
Proper amounts of fatty acids are protective, Bums said, though fish, the best source of fatty acids, is particularly unpopular with teenagers.Fatty acids are also found in some nuts as well as some green vegetables".Smokers who avoid vitamin C will increase their chances of coughing, wheezing and developing phlegm(痰).
More than 80 percent of teens are getting their recommended doses of vitamin C - mainly from fruit drinks."I wouldn"t approve of drinking them, but at least they"re getting their vitamin C from somewhere," Burns said.
Burns added that there are several different ways to get the necessary nutrients."I think vitamin supplements are fine.I think adding vitamin D to orange juice is fine.But I do think there are added benefits that we don"t fully understand of eating whole foods like fruits and vegetables and fish," she said.The researchers did not account for poverty and other factors that often distinguish less-healthy eaters and may explain their findings.
小题1:According to the passage, what is the problem with teens who don"t get enough nutrients?
A.They are becoming smokers.B.They don"t take enough exercise.
C.They eat too much fruit and fish.D.They are likely to have weaker lungs.
小题2:According to Burns, how should teens get the necessary nutrients?

核心考点
试题【Teenagers who do not get enough of the nutrients commonly found in fruits and fi】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
A growing number of workers at Google Inc., Facebook Inc. and other employers are trading in their sit-down desks for standing ones, saying they feel more comfortable and energized. They also are motivated by medical reports saying that sitting for too long leads to increased health risks.
A standing desk sits high off the floor so a worker can either stand at it or sit on a high stool to use it. Officials at Palo Alto-based Facebook say a number of employees asked about standing desks after news articles were published about the health risks of sitting all day.
The stories cited medical studies that tied excessive sitting to increased obesity and other health problems because of factors including a drop in physical activity. A 2010 study by the American Cancer Society found that women who sat more than six hours a day were 37% more likely to die prematurely than women who sat for less than three hours, while the early-death rate for men was 18% higher. The American College of Cardiology released a study in January that found increased mortality (死亡率) among people who sat longer at home than those who didn"t.
No one seems to compile statistics on the standing-desk trend. But anecdotal reports suggest Silicon Valley is embracing the movement.
Facebook officials say they have seen an upsurge in requests for standing desks to five to eight a week with a total of between 200 and 250 deployed (配置) at the company of more than 2,000 employees. Facebook also is trying out a treadmill station ─ where a worker can walk or run on a treadmill while tapping at a computer.
Google spokesman Jordan Newman said that "many employees at Google opt for standing desks, and we offer them as part of our wellness program" though he said he didn"t know the exact number.
Greg Hoy, 39 years old, asked for a standing desk shortly after joining Facebook seven months ago as a design recruiter. "I don"t get the 3 o"clock slump anymore," he said. "I feel active all day long."
小题1:The underlined word “motivated” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by          .
A.frightenedB.inspiredC.missedD.discouraged
小题2:According to paragraph 3, we can know that          .
A.a drop in physical activity was the only reason why excessive sitting caused increased obesity.
B.women who sat longer were more likely to die prematurely according to a 2010 study by American College of Cardiology
C.according to the study, the early-death rate for men was 18% higher than that for women.
D.the mortality among people who didn’t sat long at home was lower than that among people who did.
小题3:According to paragraph 5, which of the following statements is true about a treadmill station          ?
A.is a computer that a worker can take along when he walks or runs
B.has been tried out by Facebook and now is very popular with other companies
C.is a place where workers can exercise while working.
D.is a treadmill on which workers can run or walk only after work
小题4:The passage mainly talks about          .
A.sitting for too long leads to increased health risks
B.standing desks have replaced sit-down ones in Facebook Inc.
C.more and more workers choose standing desks instead of sit-down ones
D.many employees at Google opt for standing desks

Vans, Keds, Dollies—they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you"ll know they"re actually the latest in teenage footwear.
But experts are now warning that the latest shoes in different styles will be causing teenagers discomfort(不舒适) in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.
Here, the experts discover the problems caused by teenagers" shoe choice.
KEDS/VANS

Slip-on shoes with elastic (弹性的) sides are particularly popular among teenage boys - with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands.
The main problem is that they are just too flat—so flat that the heel, which hits the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.
BALLET PUMPS

The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with Keds and Vans. However ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems.
“As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing a difficult gait(步法), this leads to short- and long-term problems such as calluses(茧子), heel and knee pain.”
WEDGES AND STILETTOS

These shoes can also cause problems with gait. They may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearer"s body weight forward, making them very shaky.
Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with continuous back pain.
SCHOOL SHOES
So what do podiatrists(足科医生)have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear?
Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark"s, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.
If your teen insists on wearing "bad" shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器) in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often change their walk and halt the damage.
小题1:Of all the shoes mentioned(提到) in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?
A.Marks & Spencer.B.Wedges & Stilettos.
C.Keds and Vans.D.Ballet Pumps.
小题2:Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists’ wish list?
A.B.C.D.
小题3:The underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A.increaseB.worsenC.stopD.cause
小题4:In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?
A.Sports.B.Science.C.Health.D.Shopping.

Studies show that children who eat breakfast do better in school. It doesn’t take much further thought to know that adults will feel better and do better at work as well. Whether you work at home, on the farm, at the office, at school, or on the road, it is not a good idea to have no breakfast.
If we have no breakfast, we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel (食物). By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee or eat a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunch time we are hungry. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Having no breakfast is a popular way to lose weight, but not a smart one. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they have no meals, but that just isn’t true; the body expects to be refueled a few times a day, starting with a healthy breakfast. Eating breakfast is good for losing weight. In fact, people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep a healthy weight.
A healthy breakfast should have some protein (蛋白质) and some fiber (纤维). Protein can come from low fat meats, eggs, or beans. Fiber can be found in whole grains, vegetables and fruits. A good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple like a hard boiled egg, an orange, and a bowl of whole grain cereal with low fat milk. Stay away from sugary foods and white bread because they are digested (消化) quickly and will leave you hungry and tired in several hours. Protein and fiber will keep you feeling full until lunch time.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that ______.
A.it is necessary to have a good breakfast every day
B.many adults are too busy to have breakfast every day
C.many adults go to work without having breakfast
D.many children go to school without breakfast
小题2:According to the passage, we feel tired at work probably because __.
A.we need to have a cup of coffee

小题3:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Having a good breakfast can help you to finish your work.
B.Eating a good breakfast is enough for the whole day.
C.Breakfast is really the most important meal in a day.
D.You will be happier if you have a good breakfast.
小题4:We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.
A.it is healthy only to have beans and eggs for your breakfast
B.you mustn’t have meat for your breakfast
C.you should eat sugary foods if you feel hungry
D.you should eat something which has protein and fiber for breakfast

For a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑的人). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”
Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.
First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet are a real pounding(沉重的脚步) running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.
Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week—it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?
I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.
小题1:From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood _________.
A.Jogging became very popular
B.People jogged only during the daytime
C.Alex organized an army of joggers
D.Jogging provided a chance to get together
小题2:The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.
A.heart attacks B.back problems
C.hundreds of peopleD.physical weaknesses
小题3:From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that_____
A.Jogging can help people keep fit
B.Many physical problems result from jogging
C.Not everyone enjoys jogging
D.Jogging makes people feel greater
