Sports medicine experts have observed for years that athletes such as long distance runners,especially women athletes,often display a lack of iron.Now a new study by a team of Purdue University researchers suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron in the blood of women.
“We found that women who were normally inactive and then started a program of exercise of middle degree showed signs of iron loss,” says Roseanne M.Lyle,associate professor at Purdue.Her study of 62 formerly inactive women who began exercising three times a week for six months was published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
Iron deficiency is very common among women in general,affecting one in four female teenagers and one in five women aged 18 to 45,respectively.But the ratio is even greater among active women,affecting up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes.This means,Lyle says,that “too many women ignore the amount of iron they take in”.Women of child bearing age are at greatest risk,since their monthly bleeding is a major source of iron loss.Plus,many health conscious women increase their risk by rejecting red meat,which contains the most easily absorbed form of iron.And because women often restrict their diet in an effort to control weight,they may not consume enough iron rich food,and are most likely to experience a deficiency.
Exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms.Some iron is lost in sweat,and,for unknown reasons,intense endurance exercise is sometimes associated with bleeding of the digestive system.Athletes in high impact sports such as running may lose iron through a phenomenon where small blood vessels in the feet leak blood.
There are three stages of iron deficiency.The first and most common is having low iron reserves,a condition that typically has no symptoms.Tiredness and poor performance may begin to appear in the second stage of deficiency,when not enough iron is present to form the molecules (分子) of blood protein that transport oxygen to the working muscles.In the third and final stage,people often feel weak,tired,and out of breath—and body performance is badly affected.
“People think that if they’re not at the third stage,nothing is wrong,but that’s not true,” says John L.Beard,who helped design the Purdue study.“You’re not stage 3 until your iron reserves go to zero,and if you wait until that point,you’re in trouble.”
Beard and other experts say it’s advisable for people to have a yearly blood test.If iron levels are low,talk with a physician to see if the deficiency should be corrected by changing your diet and taking iron rich foods or by taking iron added pills.
“Select breads and cereals with the words ‘iron added’ on the label,” writes sports diet expert Nancy Clark.“This added iron supplements the small amount that naturally occurs in grains.” Clark also recommends cooking in iron pans,as food can obtain iron from the pan during the cooking process.
1.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage
A.Science,sports and exercise B.Correct iron deficiency
C.Women,iron and exercise D.Women,health and exercise
2.The third paragraph is developed mainly by________.
A.organizing the details according to the order of time
B.presenting the result followed by specific causes
C.beginning with details followed by a general statement
D.making comparisons and contrasts
3.What does it mean when you are in the third stage of iron deficiency
A.Nothing serious though you don’ t have much iron stored in the body.
B.There is not enough iron to form the molecules of blood protein to transport oxygen.
C.The small blood vessels in your feet are beginning to leak blood.
D.No iron is left in your body and you would be in trouble without urgent measures.
4.What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage
A.Defensive. B.Persuasive.
C.Supportive. D.Objective.

Every day,all across the nation,as many as one in four children refuses to go to school.The reasons are various.“School Refusal”,formerly known as “School Phobia”,is an actual anxiety based disorder.Many children are vague about their complaints and unable to be sure what is making them anxious,so it is sometimes regarded as typical childhood will fullness.However,the effects of constant school refusal can be far reaching for your child’s education.
So,where’s the line between what’s normal and what’s not?“You need to look at whether it is affecting the child or family’s normal life,” explains Christopher Kearney,Ph.D.In other words,if a child’s grades are suffering from frequent absences or a parent’s job is disturbed,it is time to look closely at the issue.Parents should listen carefully to children who say they can’t go to school because of “untestable things” such as stomachaches or headaches.While these complaints alone don’t necessarily indicate school refusal,there may be deeper problems if combined with general complaints about school,talks of threats at school and so on.
There are different kinds of behavior in school refusal.Some children are influenced by their friends who skip school to hang out with their friends,showing a sense of rebellion (叛逆).Some children cling to their mothers,screaming at the thought of having to enter the school building.
However,that doesn’t mean that getting a child back into the classroom is impossible.According to Maryann Roth,a school psychologist and guidance counselor (顾问),parents should attempt to make the child get back to school,no matter how hard it is.Working closely with school officials and possibly a specialist to create a plan is a necessary step.
5.The underlined word “vague”(Paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to ________.
A.irregular B.unclear
C.curious D.unusual
6.According to Paragraph 2,the real reason of “School Refusal” may be that the children ________.
A.are suffering from illness
B.are afraid of endless tests
C.want to stay with their parents
D.feel bored and unsafe at school
7.When facing “School Refusal” of their children,parents should ________.
A.take the problem seriously if their daily life is disturbed
B.discuss the seriousness of the problem with their children
C.take their children to see the doctor immediately
D.keep their children away from their rebellious friends
8.The passage intends to ________.
A.explain that “School Refusal” is a symptom of an illness
B.explain the phenomenon of “School Refusal” and how to treat it
C.remind parents to take good care of their children
D.explain that “School Refusal” is normal and not serious
