their dietor increasethe amount they exercise，”US researchers said last week。A study of 192 third and fourth graders,generally aged eight and nine,found thatchildren who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly twopounds（0。9kg）less over a one-year period than those who did not change theirtelevision diet。“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be theresult of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,said ThomasRobinson,a pediatrician（儿科专家)at Stanford University。“American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watchingtelevision and videos or playing video games,and rates of childhood being very fathave doubled over the past 20 years，”Robinson said.In the study，presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annualmeeting in San Francisco，the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students toreduce their television viewing by onequarter to onethird。Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smallerincrease in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued theirnormal television viewing，even though neither group ate a special diet or took partin any extra exercise.“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to thetelevision may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,”Robinson said。“Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television.Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eatmore，”Robinson said.51.The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that _。A.children will get fatter if they eat too muchB.children will get thinner if they eat lessC.children will get fatter if they spend less time

United States has written a book calledMoney and the Meaning of Life。He has discovered that how we deal with money inour daytoday life has more meaning than we usually think.One of the exerciseshe asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week。From the way they spend their money，they often see what they really value in life.He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money entersthe picture。You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think thatyou are very good friends.But you will know him only when you ask him to lend yousome money。If he does，it brings something to the relationship that seems strongerthan ever before.Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesnt.This personmay say that he has a certain feeling，but if it is not carried out in the money world,there is something less real about it.Since money is so important to us，we consider those who possess a lot of it to bevery important.The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book。Question：What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich,because you are a selfmade man？Answer：The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect。I amnothing。I dontKnow much。All I am is rich。People just have an idea of making more and more money，but what is it for？How much do I need for any given purposes in my life？In his book，the professoruncovered an important need in modern society：to bring back the idea that money isan instrument rather than the end。Money plays an important role in the materialworld,but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.60。According to the first paragraph,people have not realized _.A.how important money is in their

book？A。Money is an end。B.Money is a means。C.Money is everything.D.Money is unimportant。DThe greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women。During thetwentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of a womans lifespent in caring for children.A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth centurywould probably have been in her middle twenties，and would be likely to have sevenor eight children，of whom four or five lived till they were five years old。By thetime the youngest was fifteen，the mother would have been in her early fifties andwould expect to live a further twenty years，during which health made it unusual forher to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer children。Usuallya womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty five and can be expectedto live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement(退休)at sixty.Even while she has the care of children,her work is lightened by modernliving conditions。This important change in womens life pattern has only recently begun to haveits full effect on womens economic position.Even a few years ago most girls leftschools at the first chance,and most of them took a fulltime job.However,whenthey married,they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today theschool-leaving age is sixteen，many girls stay at school after that age,and thoughwomen usually marry younger,more married women stay at least until shortly beforetheir first child is born.Very many more afterwards return to full or part time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage,with the husband accepting agreater s
