SATURDAY, June 16, 2009 (Health Day News) -- Following simple safety rules can help protect children from injury while they're having fun this summer, say experts from Safe Kids East Central and the Medical College of Georgia's Children's Medical Center
Here are some safety guidelines:
● When riding in a vehicle, children aged 12 and under should be secured in the back seat in a child safety seat, or safety belt that's suitable for their age and size. Children aged 4 to 8, or those weighing more than 40 pounds, should be in a car booster. Children taller than 4 feet 9 inches may use an adult seat belt
● Teach children never to play in or around parked cars. Never leave a child alone inside a car
● Never let a child under age l0 cross a street alone. Make sure all children know when and where to cross a street. Never let children walk alone at night
● Always supervise children at the playground or in the backyard. Make sure they play on a safe surface, such as rubber or free sand. Check that playground equipment is in good shape and safe.
● Children should attend swimming lessons with a qualified instructor, but don't assume that swimming lessons make children "drown-proof". They still need to be supervised when doing water-related activities
● Children should always wear proper protective equipment when using bicycles, scooters, inline skates and skateboards. Teach children the rules of the road

PALO ALTO, California—“Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise, ”US researchers said last week.?
A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.9 kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.?
“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(儿科专家) at Stanford University.?
“American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled ?over? the past 20 years,” Robinson said.?
In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.?
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet or took part in any extra exercise.?
“One explanation for the weight loss could be that the children unstuck to the television 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 eat more,” ?Robinson? said.?
小题1:The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that _______.
A.children will get fatter if they eat too much?
B.children will get thinner if they eat less?
C.children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV?

C.doubled in the last twenty yearsD.is more than on any other activities?
小题3:The time children spend on TV viewing every day is suggested to be about _______.?
A.six hoursB.eight hoursC.three hoursD.one hour?
小题4:Which one of the followings is right??

The Kingdome in Seattle was destroyed on March 26,2000.It was taken down to make room for a new stadium.The blast(爆破)from the failing building caused the earth to shake as if an earthquake had happened.

Scientists placed more than 200 earthquake recorders in the earth to measure the movement.They found which parts of the
city shook the most.This information helped them know which parts of the city would be damaged in a real earthquake at an early time.
A real earthquake happened on February 28, 2001 in Seattle.The Nisqually earthquake was 6.8 on the Richter scale(里氏6.8级).It damaged the same parts of Seattle that scientists had predicted from the pulling down of the Kingdome.It was a plate quake.It started deep in the earth, 37 miles below the surface on the Juan de Fuca Plate.Sometimes,huge plates under the earth cause earthquakes when the plates move against each other suddenly.
Scientists have learned that deep earthquakes have very few aftershocks(余震).The Nisqually earthquake had only 4 ones.Another earthquake in California that was close to the surface had over 120 aftershocks.Scientists do not know why the deep earthquakes have fewer aftershocks.
Scientists plan to blast in the ground near Seattle with the purpose of testing the plate.The shockwaves from the blast will jump off the plate and give them all idea of where the plate is and how it is moving.This will give them more information in case another real earthquake hits the area.
56.Why were the scientists interested in the pulling down of the Seattle Kingdome?
A.To predict what might happen in a real earthquake.
B.To see which areas near the Kingdome would shake the hardest.
C.To measure the movement of the Earth with earthquake recorders.
D.All of the above.
57.What will happen after a deep earthquake according to the scientists?
A.There will be little damage.       
B.There will be many aftershocks.
C.There will be very few aftershocks. 
D.The Richter scale of the quakes will be 6.8 or more.
58.According to the passage,      have the most aftershocks.
A.deep earthquakes        B.shockwave earthquakes
C.earthquakes close to the surface    D.earthquakes more than 6.8 Richter scale
59.By studying the blast in the ground near Seattle, scientists hope to        
A.destroy the Kingdome
B.learn where the plate is and how it is moving
C.find out how many plates there are in the ground there
D.know which places are likely to have the most damage

BEIJING (AFP) — Archeologists in China have uncovered more than 3,000 dinosaur footprints,state media reported,in an area said to be the world’s largest grouping of fossilized hones belonging to the ancient animals.
The footprints,believed to be more than 100 million years old,were discovered after a three-month excavation(发掘、出土) at a gully in Zhucheng in the eastern province of Shandong,the Xinhua news agency reposed.   
The footprints range from 10 to 80 centimeters (4 to 32 inches) in length,and belonged to at least six different kinds of dinosaurs,including tyrannosaurs,the report said Saturday.
Wang Haijun,a senior engineer at the Chinese Academy of Sciences,said the footprints faced the same direction.Xinhua said.
This indicated a possible migration or a panic escape by plant-eating dinosaurs after an attack by predators(食肉动物),Wang added.
Archeologists have found dinosaur fossils at some 30 sites in Zhucheng,known as“dinosaur city.”The region has seen two major digs since 1964,and experts say the discovery of so many dinosaurs in such a dense area could provide clues on how the animals became extinct millions of years ago.
Plans are being made to set up a fossil park in the area.
36.We can infer from the text that_____.
A.most of the footprints are more than 32 centimeters long
B.the footprints found belong to some predators
C.the dinosaurs were running in all directions because of an attack
D.the area is considered to be a perfect tour source
37.Which statement below is true according to the passage above?
A.The number of the footprints found is more than 3000.
B.The dinosaurs may live in an age 10,000,000 years ago.
C.The discovery of fossils may open a new age.
D.Archeologists still wish to find some more fossils.
38.The passage may be picked out from_____.
A.a magazine    B.a science book   C.a newspaper    D.a students’ textbook

Hong Kong’s movement has urged the Walt Disney company to cut the maximum number of people allowed into its new park after visitors complained about long queues at trial opening over the weekend.
The park admitted about 30,000 guests on Sunday for a rehearsal, but visitors found themselves waiting in line for up to three hours for some popular rides. Many waited for up to half an hour at fast food outlets.
The park, which was built to take a maximum capacity of 30,000 visitors, officially opens next Monday. But Hong Kong Financial Secretary Heary Tang urged the company to consider lowering the upper limit.
“If it takes in 30,000 people, the queues will be very long and buying lunch would take a very long time,” Tang told reporters late on Monday. “Disney has told us that queues at its other parks are also very long during peak periods, but people may not be used to lining up for so long. So we are discussing with Disney on whether it could manage this more flexibly.”
Asked if the full capacity should be lower than 30,000, he said, “We are now examining this. We should handle it flexibly.”
Disney was not immediately available for comment.
Hong Kong’s government holds a 57 percent stake in the park and Disney owns the rest. The project was launched during a time when Hong Kong was in recession (衰退) and was widely regarded as a best cure to the city’s economic trouble.
The park is expected to draw massive crowds, particularly from Chinese mainland. But, not all news associated with the park has been encouraging.
60.When visitors where lining up for tickets for a long time, they were____.
A.excited     B.upset C.nervous    D.dissatisfied
61.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.HK Disney opens up.
B.HK urges Disney to cut visitors capacity at the new park.
C.HK encourages natives to visit Disney.
D.Disney attracts visitors from Hong Kong and Chinese mainland.
62.By mentioning what Tang said, the author wants to show____.
A.visitors showed great interest in Disney
B.Disney will take some measures to limit visitors
C.why HK governments suggests lowering the number of visitors
D.the HK government tried to co – operate with Disney
63.When HK Disney was launched, ____.
A.people though little of its future development
B.people thought it a way to revive (复苏,恢复) HK’s economy
C.Disney hold belief that it could bring more money
D.Disney was in recession across the global

Toronto---A pleasant attitude can do wonders for patients’recovery, according to researchers who reviewed 16 studies that looked at patients’ attitudes toward health. The studies lasted 30 years and looked at patients’ attitudes after operation.
“In each case the better a patient’s expectations about how they would do after operation or some health procedure, the better they did,” said the author  Donald Cole,
of the Institute for Work and Health in Toronto.
“This mind-body connection that we have been toying with for the past couple of decades really does have hard science behind it. The result shows that the power of positive thinking is real,” Cole said.
New York-A Pable Picasso painting sold at Christie’s auction house in New York Wednesday for 55-million dollars. The price  set a new auction record for a Picasso,and is the fifth-highest price ever paid for any work of art at auction.

Xinhua Agency---It had not come up until the very last minute in Premier Wen Jiabao’s two-hour press conference that concludes the annual sessions of the national legislature and political advisory body. But when it did it, it became an immediate catch phrase at home.
“I think fairness and justice are more glorious than the sun.” said Wen, responding to the laast question in yesterday’s press session. Which turned out to be the most-quoted lines in domestic media.
49.News Item 1 intends to make us believe that______.

B.     a better attitude results in a better operation
C.     researchers have observed 16 patients’ recovery during the past 30 years
