The scientists, based at the National Institute of Health’s laboratory in Phenix, Arizona, are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim.

In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount (量) of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels. By the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping, (moving the front part of your foot up and down) finger-drumming (hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard) and other nervous habits. However, others had burned up only 100 calories.

The researchers found that slim(苗条的)women fidget more than fat women, but there was no significant difference in men. Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than do thin people.

A. scratching and twitching            B. squirming and wigging

C. slow running                      D. moving one’s body nervously

C. those who burn up more calories than others will be thinner

D. those who fidget more than others will be thinner

53. Scientists found in the experiment that ____ .

A. the energy burned up by fat people when they fidget was more than that burned up by thin people when they fidget

B. some people’s fidgeting burned up more than 800 calories, but some people’s fidgeting burned up less than 100 calories

Researchers found that compared with young people who spent much of their free time in front of TV sets, those who were physically active often had higher self-respect, better grades and were less likely to have risky behavior like taking drugs, smoking, or drinking. The findings, based on a national survey of nearly 12, 000 middle and high school students, were published in a journal(期刊).

“Across the board, children who engaged in any kind of activity were better off than kids who watched a lot of TV,” said study co-author(合著者) professor Penny Gordon Larsen of the University of North Carolina.

Other studies have linked certain content of television programs, such as violence and sex, to children’s behavior. But beyond this issue, Gordon Larsen said that kids who spend hours watching TV” miss opportunities” to develop skills, learn teamwork and have other experiences that their more active peers(同辈) benefit(受益) from

That doesn’t mean, however, that kids have to be on the football team. The study found that some activities like skating and skateboard(滑板)——which adults sometimes frown upon——were also related to better self-respect and less risk-taking.

That skaters were better behaved than TV-watchers might come as a surprise to some adults who consider these teens to be bad, according to Gordon Larsen. Skateboarding is forbidden in many public areas, and some communities(社区) disagree to build skating parks. But if kids who like to skate have nowhere to do it, “ it’s a shame,” said Gordon Larsen.

Not only should parents encourage their kids to engage(参与) in the physical activities they enjoy, she said, but schools and communities should also do more to create opportunities for children to be active.

56. From the passage we know that______?

A. physically active kids get into less trouble

B. more skating parks are being built.

C. kids who spend hours watching TV benefit a lot

D. kids who have nowhere to skate tend to take drugs.

57. If your kid is a football player, he is more likely to ______

A. get into the habit of smoking or drinking.  B. develop teamwork spirit.

C. have risky behaviors.                 D. fail in the schoolwork.

58. This passage is mainly written to ______       .

A. offer some information to teachers and parents.

B. persuade kids not to watch a lot of TV.

C. urge the public to help children be active.

D. show the author’s concern about children’s growth.

59. What the underlined sentence “ which adults sometimes frown upon?” in the 4th paragraph mean?

A. Some adults don’t understand the sports.

B. Some adults are impatient with kids.

C. Adults consider it dangerous to go skating or skateboarding

D. Some adults think them related to bad behaviors.

60. It can be inferred from the passage that ______?

A. kids are not expected to be active by some parents

.   B. professor Penny is a famous writer and journalist.

C. Skateboarding is popular in schools and communities.

D. kids are not encouraged to join the football team.
