A new study found that inner-city kids living in neighborhoods with more green space gained about 13% less weight over a two-year period than kids living amid more concrete and fewer trees. Such 【C1】______ tell a powerful story. The obesity epidemic began in the 1980s, and many people 【C2】______ it to increased portion sizes and inactivity, but that can't be everything.

During the 1980s, unemployment(失业人数) and underemployment(不充分就业) in some countries was so high as 90 percent. Some countries did not【B1】enough food; basic needs in housing and clothing were not【B2】. Many of these countries looked【B3】the industrial processes of the developed nations for solution.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Teachers always plan down to the minute what their students will be doing. This is good for kids, because it teaches them to stay on task and follow a schedule. But most homes aren't run this way. If parents do plan their children's lives minute by minute, what happens when that child grows up and goes to college？ At some point, kids need to learn to manage their own time. This can be one of the valuable skills you help your kids develop outside of school. But it generally won't happen all by itself, because there's a big transition that happens when kids leave the structured school environment and come home.
If you have kid stay alone at home, think hard about trying to find an adult who can be there and provide the support your child needs. If a supportive adult isn't available, an expert named Martin recommends you find an after-school program led by experienced professionals who will engage them in creative activities, nourish them with healthy snacks, and assist them with their schoolwork.
If you are at home on the contrary, to take some break after the guys get started on diversions, because it's hard to stop and do something like homework. "If that little bit of downtime is television, good luck...getting them to do their homework." says a professor of child development at California State University, "TV is addictive." A better way to help your child unwind is with a healthy snack. "Wait until dinner, make a plate full of energizing food. You could even dish up part of the dinner you're preparing a little early for the kids," she says.
While you're sharing a snack, you can make a list of what your kids will get to do during their study breaks. The types of breaks recommended include shooting baskets, getting a drink, using the bathroom, or even playing a quick card game with parents. Your kids can be the ones to decide which breaks they'd like to take. But, as Freimuth says, your children will have to be honest about what kind of break will energize them and not upset their momentum.
The main purpose of this passage is _____.
Doors and windows can't keep them out; airport immigration officers can't stop them and the Internet is an absolute re production soil. They seem harmless in small doses, but large imports threaten Japan's very uniqueness, say critics. "They are foreign words and they are infecting the Japanese language".
"Sometimes I feel like I need a translator to understand my own language," says Yoke Fujimura with little anger, a 60-year-old Tokyo restaurant worker. "It's becoming incomprehensible."
It's not only Japan who is on the defensive. Countries around the globe are wet through their hands over the rapid spread of American English. Coca-Cola, for example, is one of the most recognized terms on Earth.
It is made worse for Japan, however, by its unique writing system. The country writes all imported utterances-except Chinese-in a different script. called katakana(片假名). It is the only country to maintain such a distinction. Katakana takes far more space to write than kanji-the core pictograph(象形文字) characters that the Japanese borrowed from China 1,500 years ago. Because it stands out, readers complain that sentences packed with foreign words start to resemble ex tended strings of lights. As if that weren't enough, katakana terms tend to get confusing. For example, digital camera first appears as degitaru kamera. Then they became the more ear-pleasing digi kamey. But kamey is also the Japanese word for turtle. "It's very frustrating not knowing what young people are talking about," says humorously Minom Shiratori, a 53-year-old bus driver. "Sometimes I can't tell if they're discussing cameras or turtles."
In a bid to stop the flood of katakana, the government has formed a Foreign Words Committee to find suitable Japanese replacements. The committee is slightly different from French-style. language police, which try to support a law that forbids advertising in English. Rather, committee members and traditionalists hope a sustained campaign of persuasion, gentle criticism and leadership by example can turn the tide.
According to the author, the mason why the Japanese is infected greatly by English is _____.
