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 cook 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 children 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. 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 outside 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.‎ ‎25. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?‎ A. Those who often do sports. B. Those who often watch television.‎ C. Those who often have meals at home. D. Those who often walk to school.‎ ‎26. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because ______.‎ A. they can't choose what to eat B. they are too busy to go out and play C. their parents often cook meals for them D. there are too many fast food shops around ‎27. The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means ______.‎ A. forcing B. guiding C. driving D. moving ‎28. The main purpose of the text is to ______.‎ A. tell a story B. provide facts C. give advice D. compare opinions ‎ ‎ C ‎ In England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience (经历) four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, the sun will begin to shine, and it will be summer at this time of a day.‎ ‎ In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should take warm clothes. ‎ ‎ When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella (伞)or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not laugh at them. If you don't take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret (后悔) later in the day.‎ ‎29. Why do people in England often talk about the weather?‎ A. Because they may have four seasons in one day B.
