三、阅读理解
A
As the parent of two teenagers who have played multiple sports over the years,I’ve seen the good,the bad,the ugly and the absolutely cruel.
However,when I think about the value of sports and why my kids continue to play sports,I find that playing sports can help kids to become successful adults.Through sports,kids learn how to work in teams,how to take risks,how to challenge themselves to be better,and how to behave when they lose—and when they win.
Whether kids play soccer,baseball,or basketball,they learn they are part of a team where one person depends on another.When my son plays baseball,he’s not the only one who needs to play well;he depends on his defense to make the plays on the field.When my daughter plays tennis,she depends on her partner to cut off the ball at the net and win the point,and the tennis team depends on each person in order to win the overall match.Sports also teach children to trust and respect the decisions of someone who understands how the entire team needs to work in order to succeed.
Sadly,though,youth sports have suffered from the “winning isn’t everything;it’s the only thing” attitude.They have become too much of a reflection of professional sports.Winning is a happy result,but the lessons from losing are even more important.When my daughter loses the tennis match,her coach reminds her that she learns more from losing than from winning.Losing makes us focus on improving our skills and our strategy.We’re going to learn from our mistakes and not repeat them.
I believe that participating in youth sports is much more than building a sound body.Sports are the best way to shape and build more self-motivated and happier children and help them become more self-motivated and happier adults.

Parents can cut the chances of their children getting fat simply by keeping them longer at table.Just three minutes extra at a family mealtime could help prevent child obesity(肥胖).Research found that among poor families,the extra minutes at mealtimes made great improvement of a normal weight for the youth.The factors are likely to be communication and a scheduled mealtime.
Dr.Barbara Fiese said,“Children,whose families have a 20-minute meal over four times a week,weigh less than kids who leave the table after 15 to 17 minutes.Over time,those extra minutes per meal add up and become really powerful.”
The researchers studied 200 family mealtimes,testing the effects of factors and mealtime behaviour of families with children in primary school.They found that families,who said that shared mealtimes were an important part of family life and had special meaning for them,were less likely to have an obese child.Similarly,families,who talked more together and interacted more positively during the meal,were more likely to have healthy-weight children.
Teaching low-income families how to make the most of family mealtimes was a wise idea.Dr.Fiese said,“This is something we can target and teach.” She added,“It’s also important to recognise the increasing differences of families and their sometimes complex living arrangements that may challenge their abilities to plan ahead and arrange a single time to communicate with each other.”
Families in poorer US neighbourhoods faced a lot of problems,including poor access to healthy food.But even so,regular high quality family mealtimes made a difference to the children’s weight.Dr.Fiese said,“Three to four extra minutes per meal will make a healthy weight more possible.”

A.Because people can have a good rest as they eat meals.
B.Because people can have time to choose what they like.
