17、n is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom co

18、ok a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before chil

19、dren start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.There is a third reason for this situation.

20、 Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime （消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outs

21、ide and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.28.According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food

24、end nearly a third of their lives sleeping. Going without sleep will make you psychotic(精神错乱)and, eventually, kill you, Its clear that shut-eye is important to the bodys ability to function. But no one knows what sleep actually does. “Its sort of embarrassing.”said Dr. Michael Halassa, a neuroscient

25、ist at New York University. Its obvious why we need to eat but its not clear why we need to sleep at allWere easily hurt when were asleep, so whatever sleep does,it must be worth the risk of the brain taking itself mostly offline. There are a few theories about why we sleep, and although none of the

26、m are totally solid, a few try to explain what happens each night, pulling in research on topics ranging from cellular processes to cognition. Researchers say it does seem clear that sleep is key to the brains ability to recognise itself. Its not hard to prove that sleep is important. Rats totally d

27、eprived(剥夺) of sleep die within two or three weeks, according to research by the pioneering university of Chicago sleep scientists Allan Rechtschaffen. No one has done similar experiments on humans, but a 2014 study published in The Joumal of Euroscience found that mere 24 hours of sleep deprivation

28、 caused heathy people to have hallucinations(幻觉)and other psychotic symptoms.One reason why it is difficult to get a handle on why we sleep is that sleep is actually pretty difficult to study. Sleep deprivation studies are the most common way to study sleep, but depriving an animal of sleep disturbs

29、 many of its biological systems. Its hard to tell which outcomes are directly due to sleep deprivation rather than, say, stress.The other reason why sleep is hard to understand is that the brain may be doing two different things during the two major stages of sleep. As the night wears on, sleepers c

The brains electrical activity during REM sleep looks much like it does when a person is awake, but the muscles of the body dont work.32.
