16、ASome people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包圍) 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 chil

17、dren 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

18、 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

19、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.56. According to the text, what kind of children ma

31、hat my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as bad as being

32、 in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?

33、funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing.

34、 was so great about art.On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldnt stop

39、ionDAsk Dr.JeffersThis month Dr. Jeffers is answering questions about the human brain and how it works.Dear Dr. Jeffers，One of my colleagues，F(xiàn)elix Moeller，told me that scientists are learning to usecomputers to read minds. Is there any truth to this story？Jane Leon，New York，USADear Ms. Leon，Well，a l

40、ot of research is being conducted in this area，but so far，the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs haven't been able to actually read thoughts.

41、d to choose between adding or subtracting(減) the two numbers. Using this method，researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions(假設(shè)) 70 percent of the time. It's not quite mind reading，but it's certainly a first step.Dr. J.Dear Dr. Jeffers，My three­year&#

42、173;old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle(胳肢) him until he laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn't do it. Why not？Glenn Lewis，Vancouver，CanadaDear Mr. Lewis，It's because of how the brain works. The brain is traine

43、d to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen，but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example，you don't notice how your shoulder feels while you're walking down the street. But if someo
