很明显，近几年来，人们的健康观念发生了改变。年轻人不再认为不生病就是健康，而是把健康看作某种可从外貌判断的东西。他们也不把健康看作一种可以产生内在美的品质，相反，他们在理解健康时侧重外在的因素：外表(尤其是皮肤、头发和牙齿要好)和苗条。年轻人越来越愿意通过一种低冲击的生活方式来达到这些身体特征，即通过治疗、药物及食补来达到健康的目的，而不是通过良好的饮食习惯和定期锻炼。ReadingDOneofthemostrevealingfindingsofthestudywasthatmorethan30%ofrespondentsfeltthattheywereoverweightandreportedusingweight-controlproductsand/orjoiningaweight-controlprogramme.Inmostinstances,theseproductsandprogrammeswerenotbeingusedinconjunctionwithaprogrammeofregularexercise.Thesafetyoftheweight-controlproducts(whichmightbeslimmingpillsorspecialpowdersorteas)wasnotaconcernandmostrespondentsreportedthataparticularproducthadbeenrecommendedtothembyfriends.Asignificantminority(16%),however,hadlearntabouttheproductstheywereusingfromadvertisements.Some88%feltthattheproductstheyusedweresafeandwouldhavenolong-termnegativeeffectsonhealth.Weight-controlproductsandprogrammes,then,arerarelysupervisedbyrecognizedandindependentprofessionalsinthefieldofnutritionorevenbyparents.Indeed,mostrespondentsinformedtheresearchersthattheydidnottelltheirparentsaboutusingaweight-controlsubstance.Keywords:nutrition:thescienceoffoodanditseffectsonhealthandgrowth参考译文： 这项研究中最惊人的发现是30%以上的答卷者认为他们过胖，并说他们正在使用控制体重的产品或者参加了某个体重控制 计划 项目进度计划表范例计划下载计划下载计划下载课程教学计划下载 ，有些人则兼而试之。大多数人在使用这些产品、加入这些计划的同时并没有辅助以定期的锻炼计划。这种控制体重的产品(可能是减肥丸、特效药或减肥茶)是否安全可靠并没有受到考虑，大多数被调查者说这样那样的特效药是他们的朋友推荐的。还有少数人(16%)是从广告中得知他们正在使用的这些减肥产品的，这是一个不小的数字。这些人中大约88%的人觉得他们使用的产品是安全的，不会对健康产生长期的不良影响。而这些减肥产品的使用、减肥计划的实行很少是在营养方面的认证专家的监督下进行的，有的甚至连父母都不知道。事实上，大多数被调查者都说他们没有告诉父母他们在使用减肥品。ReadEAchievingtheidealofslimbeautydoesnotnecessarilyinvolvethesubjectsofourstudyinprogrammesofexercise.Infact,thesurveyresultsshowthatonlyaboutaquarterofyoungpeopleregularly,althoughnearlyathirdworkoutoccasionally.Almost14%oftheyoungpeopleworkoutsurveyedneverworkedout.Thosewhodidworkoutnormallydidsoinaparkorplayground.Fewoftherespondentshadbecomemembersofgymsandtheusualreasongivenwasthatwhilemembershipofthesefacilitieswashighlydesirable,theywerefartooexpensiveformostyoungpeople.KeyWords:ideal:ofthebestormostsuitabletypeworkout:todophysicalexerciseasawayofkeepingfit参考译文：为了达到苗条的目的，被调查者未必会进行锻炼。事实上，调查结果显示大约只有1/4的年轻人会定期锻炼，而将近1/3的人是偶尔锻炼。被调查的年轻人中几乎有14%的人从来不锻炼身体。那些会定期锻炼身体的人通常是在公园或操场上锻炼的。只有少数人是健身俱乐部的成员，他们通常给出的理由是尽管这些健身器材十分吸引人，但是对年轻人而言价格实在太高了。ReadingFThesurveyalsoquestionedrespondentsabouttheirfoodintake.Themajorityreportedeatingonlyonemainmealperday—theeveningmeal.Breakfastforthosewhodidhavemorethanonemealtendedjusttobeacakeorbunofsomekindandsomethingtodrink.Lunchwasusuallymoresubstantial;noodlesperhapswithsomemeatandvegetablesorahamburgerwithchips.Butsmallportionswerethenormforyoungpeopleinthesurveyandthiswasbecausemostofthemspentonlythirtyminutesonlunchbeforereturningtotheirstudies.Whenquestionedaboutwhethertheythoughttheyweregettingenoughmineralsandvitaminseveryday,themajorityofrespondentssaidtheydidnotknow,although21%saidtheyweretakingvitaminsupplementsofvariouskinds.Whatrespondentstypicallyeat,aswellaswhentheyeat,isclearlyacauseforconcern.KeyWords:respondent:someonewhoanswersquestions,especiallyonaquestionnaire参考译文：调查也涉及年轻人的食物摄取问题。大多数人说他们一天只吃一顿主食——就是晚餐。那些不止吃一顿饭的人的早餐就是一块蛋糕或者一个小圆面包，外加点饮料。午饭通常要丰盛些，也许是面条加蔬菜和肉，或者是汉堡包加炸薯条。但被调查的年轻人的午餐分量一般较少，这是因为在继续学习之前大多数人只有半小时可以吃午饭。当问到他们是否想过每天摄入的矿物质和维生素是否足够时，大多数人回答不知道。其中有21%的人说他们在吃各种各样的维生素来补充营养。很明显，被调查者吃什么、何时吃是一个应得到关注的问题。ReadingG

最后并且很重要的一点是关于睡眠的。关于这一点，调查结果揭示了一些令人警觉的生活习惯，尤其是关于年轻人晚上实际睡觉的时间。被调查的年轻人中大约有3/4的人在11点以后上床睡觉。接近1/4的人在1点或更晚入睡。入睡晚的原因多种多样：看电视、玩电脑游戏、上网等是主要原因，还有的是为了做家庭作业。有约1/3的年轻人说他们常常在10点左右开始做作业，一般要做2到3个小时。晚睡的结果是人体越来越缺乏睡眠，这势必会影响第二天的注意力集中和工作表现。ReadingI

。减肥药和在年轻妇女中十分流行的增白护肤品都有可能对人体有害。显然，此类产品的广告应受到法律的管理。这就会迫使生产者要么不做广告，要么在广告中针对产品的成分和副作用提出必要的警告。各国政府应将减肥产品看作是药品而不是食品补充剂，尤其是有些产品已确认含有医药成分，则更需要进行临床试验。要是有的产品中没有医药成分，认为将它们重新分类为药品不合适，我们也应该将它们归为新的一类，我们的政府还应严密监督这类产品的生产和销售。颇有权威的美国食品和药品局曾将减肥产品归为饮食补充剂一类，这无疑为全世界树立了一个好榜样。ReadingJ

的教学大纲包括很多与健康有关的话题，例如个人卫生、饮食均衡、普通的疾病和营养。但是，我们可以使学校里与健康有关的学科变得更有趣些。我们可以请些专家来学校做些讲座，讲一讲健康饮食和日常锻炼的重要性。还可以播放录像节目，展示不同的锻炼方式。请一些因吸烟等坏习惯而导致健康恶化的人来讲讲他们的经历也可对学生有所帮助。ReadingK

最后，年轻人自己能做点什么来使他们的健康持续更久呢？想使外表看上去处于最佳状态并没有错，但问题的关键是通过何种 方法 快递客服问题件处理详细方法山木方法pdf计算方法pdf华与华方法下载八字理论方法下载 达到这一目的。健康应是由内开始。这意味着要培养好的习惯，例如饮食均衡而且定期锻炼，不必进行很难的锻炼。多数医生建议年轻人玩自己喜欢的体育活动，偶尔跳跳舞是很好的锻炼方式。但锻炼必须定期进行——至少每周三次，每次半个小时——饮食也必须有规律。三餐均衡且适量比晚餐时饱餐一顿要好得多。 另一个年轻人能使自己更健康的做法是注意自己的睡眠习惯，这既包括睡眠数量又包括质量。研究结果表明大多数人每晚需要睡7到9个小时。而且午夜1点以前入睡会睡得较熟，比1点后入睡更能解除疲劳。这项医学结果已为年轻人如何组织他们的生活提供了明显的提示。科学家们给出的睡眠需求说明年轻人应该确保睡眠的时间，而有些活动可以适量取消。ReadingL

给年轻人的最后一条建议：不要害怕看医生。医生不仅是为老年人服务的。除了治病外他们有很多可以做的。所有的医生都愿意用预防性药物。如果问题发现得足够早，通常可以较成功地治疗，可以防止发生长期的问题。但是只有定期去做医检、主动关心健康的人才可能及时得到预防药的治疗。UnderstandingtheTextPartA:ComprehendingtheTextAnswerthefollowingquestions.1.Whattypeoftextisthisoverall?
