Talk to Your
Kids about Their Eating Habits Carefully
Weight is never an easy subject. It can
be risky for parents to raise the issue of eating
habits and weight with their kids.
“No kid ever
lost weight because his mother told him he was
fat,” a friend told me when I
was
worried about my son’s
weight.
It turns out she was right,
according to a new study. The study was directed
by Dr. Berge
at University of
Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents
discussed eating in a healthy way
were
les. s likely to have eating problems. But 64% of
the kids whose parents focused on their
weight turned to unhealthy eating
behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets, and
others even ate
no
food.
So
eating
disorders
were
caused.
Things
were
worse
when
fathers
joined
in
the
discussions with their
daughters
and focused on weight.
“Fathers should never comment on their
daughters’
weight,”
says
Berge.
Instead,
she
suggests,
fathers
should
focus
on
their
daughters'
interests. That
can help them feel loved and confident enough to
work on their weight issues.
How should parents talk to kids about.
eating behaviors? According to Berge, they should
avoid focusing on how much their kids
weigh. They should talk to them about being
healthy. Don't
compare
them
with
others.
Ideally,
both
parents
should
share
the
responsibility.
If
that'
s
not
possible, choose the parent whose words
cause the least amount of stress and who
demonstrates
healthy eating.
11. The writer' s friend advised her
not to
.
A. worrv about her son's weight
B. take the risk of gaining
weight
C. change her own eating habits
D. talk to her son about
his weight
12. The study found that
some kids had fewer eating problems because they
________.
A. learned to eat healthily
B. took part in the study
C.
focused on their weight
D. believed the scientists
13. When told about their fatness, some
kids _____________.
A. felt helpless
B. became angry
C. began to eat
no food
D.
refused to take any advice
14. If a father focuses on his
daughter' s interests, she will feel ____________.
A. amused
B. encouraged
C. surprised
D. challenged
15. When taking to their kids about
eating behaviors, parents should ______________.
A. focus on being healthy
B.
use short and simple words
C. respect
their kids'
views
D. compare their kids with
others

Plagiarism
（剽窃）
①
You just found some good
.stuff on the Web for your science report. You
copy a paragraph
and paste it into your
report. Then you continue your research. But you
just made a big mistake.
You committed
plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone
else' s words or ideas and pretend
that
they are yours. It' s not allowed in school,
college, or beyond.
②
The
word
always
easy
to
tell
what
is
plagiarism
and
what
is
not.
Sometimes,
it's
accidental.
You
really
intended to do your
own work, yet ended up with some sentences that
sound just like something
you’ve
read.
③
Though plagiarism can be
accidental, it's sometimes done on purpose. That'
s just being
lazy.
By
copying
whole
paragraphs
from
different
places,
you
don't
have
to
spend
the
time
thinking
about
the
subject,
gathering
your
own
thoughts
about
it,
and
then
putting
them
into
original words.
Cut, paste, and you’re done.
④
Most schools are pretty
strict about plagiarism, If
you
’
re caught, your
graduation will be
delayed
or worse. At the very least,
you’re
probably going to fail the assignment. When you’re
older and in college,
some
schools will kick out students who plagiarize.
When you’re kicked out
of one college,
it can be hard to get into another.
⑤
To be on the safe side,
always make it clear where the information comes
from. You need
to
write
references. That’s a list of the sources you used
for a project or report. To do that,
you’
re
need
to
know
the
author,
the
title,
and
the
date
it
was
published.
If
you
write
something
really
great, maybe some day
someone will quote you in a report.

plagiarize or not

Fruit
Imagine
a
world
without
fruit.
We
wouldn’t
be
very
healthy.
We
get
a
lot
of
important
vitamins from
eating fruit.
We think of
fruit primarily as something to eat.
26
Fruit is part of a
flowering plant
and it carries the
seeds. The purpose of fruit is to protect a
plant's seeds and help them get spread
about. Wind and water spread seeds. So
do animals when they eat fruit and drop the seeds.
27
There are two main types of fruit
fleshy and dry. Fleshy fruits are soft and juicy.
Pears, bananas
and
apples
are
all
fleshy
fruits.
28
Grains
like
wheat
and
rice,
or
nuts
like
chestnuts(
板<
/p>
栗
) ,are dry fruits.
But
wait
You’ve
eaten
oranges
and
grapes
without
seeds.
How
can
they
be
fruits?
It's
because
people have changed the way they grow fruit. They
can now grow seedless fruit. Seedless
fruit comes from special plants that
are made by combining two varieties of a fruit to
form a new
variety.
These
special
plants
grow
and
produce
seeds.
29
These
plants
cannot
reproduce
themselves. They
can make fruit, but the fruit has no seeds.
Fruits are a source of substances that
keep us alive and healthy. So people make use of
fruits
for many foods. We make juices
from them. We make jams and sweets.
30
Beer comes from
grains and
wine comes from grapes, and some particular wines
are made from apples, peaches, or
other
fruits.
A. Dry fruits are thin and
hard.
B. We even make alcohol from
fruit.
C. But fruit has a purpose quite
apart from our needs.
D. So these
plants produce fleshy fruits.
E. Then
the seeds grow into new plants.
F. But
the plants grown from these seeds are seedless.
