2018-2019学年高二英语上学期期末考试试题第一卷一、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）AI came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car acci dent because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go t o court.After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. I w as very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done . I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he sai d. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was r esponsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that h e had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I sho uld pay him.But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 5 0 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same tim e, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he ch arged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after tha t he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other par ty was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything . He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsi ble that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $ 770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperienc e, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving Americ a. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.1. The author’s roommate offered to help him because______ __.A. he felt sorry for the authorB. he thought it was a chance to make some moneyC. he knew the doctor was a very good oneD. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer2. A good doctor is essential for the author to __________.A. be properly treatedB. talk with the person responsible for the accidentC. recover before he leaves AmericaD. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury3. The word“charge”in the third paragraph means_________ .A. be responsibleB. accuseC. ask as a priceD. claim4. Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very___ _______.A. friendlyB. selfishC. professionalD. busy5. What conclusion can you draw from the story?A. Going to court is something very common in America.B. One must be very careful while driving a car.C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides.D. Money is more important than other things in the US.BNowadays women appear to have a positive image of themse lves as safer drivers than men.In a survey done for insurer MetLife, 51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side：Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for c areless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drun k driving. “Women are on average less aggressive and more l aw abiding (守法的) drivers，which leads to fewer accidents，” the report says. However，not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surve yed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The fin dings did back them up on one point：automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men arefamiliar with current safety equipment such as electronic stab ility control，which helps prevent rollover accidents.Auto safety unavoidably matters to Money. Insurance compan ies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar am ounts of claims，and for now，that mainly includes women. In general，women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men. A stu dy by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rat es are lower for women in most states. Among individual state s，women get the greatest，advantage in Wyoming (where they pay 20% less)，South Dakota and Washington，D.C.，where their insurance costs are 16% lower.“More than 11,900 male drivers died in US traffic accidents in 2009，compared with just under 4,900 women drivers” according to t he study. “Based on miles traveled，men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled ，vs.1. 7 deaths for women.”6．According to the study，female drivers________.A．are more aggressive while drivingB．are more interested in auto knowledgeC．are more likely to stick driving lawsD．are more familiar with safety equipment7．Insurance companies focus on female driver clients proba bly because they________.A．cause more accidents on the roadB．pay more money to the insurance companiesC．take the most part of the insurance clientsD．have the lowest amount of money on insurance claims 8．The writer mainly develops paragraphs by________. A．giving examples B．making comparisons C．drawing a conclusion D．presenting an argumen tCI really love my job because I enjoy working with small childre n and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I wou ld never have that sort of career (职业)．I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much school work. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and fo und I didn't have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn't th e type to have a career.I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn't too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for busine ss in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week，she'd give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn't ofte n work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the childre n.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Meg an who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situ ation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qua lification (资格证书) if I wanted to work with children. I didn't think I would be a ccepted because I didn't take many exams in school. She per suaded me to phone the local college and they were really hel pful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a parttime c ourse. I had to leave my job with the family，and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I've got a fulltime job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a caree r，even if you aren't top of the class at school.9．What is the author's present job?A．Working parttime in a college.B．Taking care of children for a family.C．Helping children with their schoolwork.D．Looking after children at a kindergarten.10．When staying with the two girls' family, the author ______ __.A．was paid for extra workB．often worked long hoursC．got much help from her bossD．took a day off every other week11．Why did the author leave her first job?A．She found a fulltime job.B．She was fed up with children.C．She decided to attend a parttime course.D．She needed a rest after working extra hours.12．What has the author learned from her own experiences? A．Less successful students can still have a career. B．Qualifications are necessary for a career.C．Hard work makes an excellent student.D．One must choose the job she likes.DSunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous t o deadly, especially if proper care isn't given immediately. Sunstroke，sometimes called heatstroke，is a result of the body temperature rising above the safe limit. This causes the body's necessary functions to stop working. It's usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper a ction is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as pos sible to return that person's body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.Call for helpCall to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person ha s fainted (昏倒). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you're in a public place. If there's no one around，call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an amb ulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn't much nearby.Get the person to a cooler areaIf there's a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect. If a building isn't available, bring the person to a wellshaded area.Get the water flowingIf the person is still conscious，get him or her to drink water.If there's a bathtub available，fill it with cool water and put the person in it.If your water supply is limited，you have to save it.Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the p erson's body.Focus on the face，neck，and chest.Fan the personGetting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Us e anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.13．When does a person get sunstroke?A．When the body doesn't function.B．When proper care is given immediately.C．When someone is exposed to the sun too long. D．When the body temperature goes up beyond what one ca n bear.14．What is mainly discussed in the passage?A．The first aid for sunstroke.B．The causes of sunstroke.C．The chief symptoms of sunstroke.D．The essential prevention of sunstroke.15．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text? A．Call for assistance from others.B．Leave the sunstroke person in the shade.C．Put a wet towel on the person's face.D．Help the person take some medicine.二、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world's first kids (21) (teach) by a digital teacher, Will. Before you start imagining a human-like robot (22) (walk) around the classroom, Will is just an avatar（网络替身）that appears on the student’s desktop, tablet，or smartphone screen, when summoned（召唤）.Will has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, (23) (allow)it to demonstrate human-like behavior. The digital teacher is currently assigned to teach a free program for Auckland elementary schools. (24) (launch) in 2005, the program is designed to educate kids about energy use, and the different forms of renewable energy such as solar, wind, and geothermal.Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids (25) have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. This two-way interaction not only helps capture the students’ attention, but also allows the program's developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if (26) (need).Will’s Designer, Nikhil Ravishankar says, "Using a digital human is a very good method to deliver new information to people, and I have a lot of hope in this technology (27) a means to deliver rich educational experiences in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says,” (28)was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captur ed their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.For one, the avatar’s knowledge base is limited. But more importantly, even (29) (smart)digital avatars could never anticipate（预料）and react to all the unexpected situations (30) educators have to deal with/on a daily basis. However, it could come in handy as a “personal tutor", providing kids with one-on-one help on specific subjects or even topics.【答案】21: to be taught22: walking23: allowing24: Launched25: may26: needed27: as28: what29: the smartest30: thatSection B 10%Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

However, Julia Mooney “One outfit, 100 days” challenge, has a different purpose. The art teacher from New Jersey is wearing the same dress for the first 100 days of school to create___32___ of the environmental costs of fast fashion.For those unfamiliar with the term, fast fashion refers to the reproduction of stylish clothes- __33____ by the catwalk or celebrity culture. As they are ____34__ online or from retailers (零售商), it allows everyone to adopt the latest fashion trends instantly. Though that sounds like a win-win for all, the rapid changes in styles and the 35prices result in more purchases, many of which are thrown away after being worn just once or twice. In the US alone, over 21 billion pounds of textiles（纺织品）are __36___ into landfills every year.Mooney says the idea for the challenge began as a joke she made to her husband during the summer. However, upon thinking about it further, she decided it would be an excellent way to___37 her eco-friendly lifestyle, and, more importantly, serve as a great lesson for her new students. Except for a few minor accidents, Mooney __38___ worn the same outfit for three months.The educator’s experiment has aroused the 39___ of many students and led to productive discussions around fast fashion. Mooney says: "I’m probably going to cut down on my wardrobe and have less, and try to buy used clothes and try to make some things more and get creative. "Hopefully, people worldwide will follow her lead and make common efforts to ___40____ the “three R’ s- reuse, recycle, and, most importantly, reduce -to their wardrobes, as well.【答案】31-40 CHKBJDAEGIIII. Reading Comprehension (37%)Section A 15%Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the expression that best fits the context.Simple changes can have big benefits for patients with dementia (痴呆症).THE three inpatient wards that 41_the ninth floor of St Thomas' Hospital in London look like children's quarters.

The lights at the St Thomas’ dementia-friendly unit are _50, which helps with sleep. “It becomes much quitter when we dim them” says one of the nurses.To_51_restless patients, new layouts have small socializing areas, such as a couple of chairs near the nurses' desks, or eating areas made to look like home kitchens.

For each of them there are four choices. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A friend of mine once had a curious experience with a job interview. Excited about the possible position, she arrived five minutes early and was immediately led into the interview by the receptionist. Following an amicable discussion with the interviewers, she was offered the job.Afterward, one interviewers remarked how impressed she was that my friend could be so calm after showing up 25 minutes later. As it turned out, my friend had been told the wrong start time by half an hour; she had remained calm because she did not know she was late.My friend is not the type of person who would have remained cool if she had known she was late, but the interviewers reached the opposite conclusion. Of course, they also could have concluded that her calm reflected a jokey attitude, which is also not a trait(特性)of hers. Either way, they would have been wrong to think that her behavior in the interview was indicative of her future performance at the job.This is a widespread problem. Employers like to use free-form, unstructured interviews in an attempt to “get to know” a job candidate. But as in my friend’s case, interviewers typically form strong but groundless impressions about interviewees.People who study psychology(心理学) have long understood this. In 1979, for example, the University of Texas Medical School (UTMC)was required to increase its incoming class size by 50 students late in the season. The additional 50 students that the school admitted had reached the interview phase of the application process but initially, following their interviews, were rejected. A team of researchers later found that these students did just as well as their other classmates in terms of attrition, academic performance, clinical performance (which involves connection with patients and supervisors) and honors earned. Research also show that the problem with interviews is worse than irrelevance(不相关): They can be harmful, undercutting the impact of other more valuable information about interviewees.Realistically, unstructured interviews aren’t going away anytime soon. Until then, we shouldbe careful about the likelihood that our impressions will provide a reliable guide to a candidate’s future performance.56.What can we learn about my friend’s job interview?A.She was nervous while answering the interview question.B. Her jokey attitude helped her to win the interviewers over.C. She thought she was five minutes earlier for the interview.D. She didn’t realize the interview could last so long.57. The writer uses the friend’s case to ________.A. introduce the discussion topicB.provide evidence for his point of viewC.clarify the misunderstanding of the publicD.describe an unforgettable experience58. The underlined word “undercutting”in the fourth paragraph can be best replaced by ________.A.weakeningB.emphasizingC.displayingD.feeling59. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Most interviewers lack the necessary training to make the right judgement.B. Impressions formed at the interviewers are usually not reliable.C. UTMC didn’t value applicants’ communication skills.D. Unstructured interviews will be closely examined.【答案】56-59.

Welcome to the program. In America, May and June are the traditional months for graduations. A listener in China, Li Ping, who is about to get an engineering degree, wants to know how American college graduates find jobs. Right now, the answer is: not very easily. A latest study on the college job market showed that employers wanted to hire 22% fewer graduates this year than last. The study also showed that just 20% of those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now. Thisis compared to half of students who had looked for a job by this time two years ago. But one difference: fewer of this year’s graduates have started to search for jobs. Engineering graduates were more likely to have started their job search already, and to have accepted a job. This is among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree. On average, engineering majors expect to start at about $62,000 a year. (Now listen again, please.)Questions：11. What does the speaker say about the college job market this year?12. Why are engineering graduates more likely to accept a job?Questions 13 through 15 are based on the following conversation.W: Hey, Bill.

It’s OK — a bit like England, really. At least the weather is similar, and the people aren’t much different.The only thing I didn’t like is the food, espec ially the sausages. What do you intend to do about the family? Are you going to take them with you?M: Well, I’d like to, but I don’t know much about the situation at the moment…you know, about schools and all that. But I hope to move the family out there in a couple of months’ time. I don’t think I want to spend a year and a half out there on my own...I mean, without Rachel and the kids. I mean, I don’t see that much of them now as it is.W: Yeah. Well, that’s the way it is normally in our company, I su ppose.M: Yeah. Well, we’ll see. Let me pay for the coffee.W: No, no. I’ll pay.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks use one word that best fits each blank.Throughout history, people have been used to many types of crimes, but recently, we have had to face a new one: cybercrime.What exactly is cybercrime? Computers and the Internet have made life much (16) (easy) than it used to be. However, they have also brought a new criminal into our own living rooms. Cybercrime is when a crime (17) (commit) on a computer or over a network. There are many types of cybercrime, and some of the most common examples include spam(垃圾短信), identity theft and cracking.Spam is extremely common and almost everybody has some experience of receiving emails they don’t want in their inbox. It occurs when 'spammers' send emails, usually and advertisement for a product or service, to a large number of people at the same time. Spammers collect email addresses from all over the Internet, (19) (send) spam to them at random.Identity theft is when somebody steals your personal information and uses it (20) their own benefit. For example, an identity thief could find out your date of birth, address and credit card number, and then pretend (21) (be) you when they go shopping online.Cracking, or hacking, is the activity of (22) (break) into networks of organizations or governments. This is a very serious crime as a 'hacker' can access some highly confidential information and use it for illegal purposes.So (23) we depend on technology more and more for everyday things, it is important to be increasingly careful with our personal information: don' be a victim of cybercrime!Section B 9%Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. NoteEverywhere you look, there are images of the 'ideal' programmes and magazine ads are full of perfectly proportioned models and actors, and hardly anyone who could be seen as less than perfect. Is the 24 to be perfect now so great that it's destroying the self-esteem of an entire generation? Are most teenagers today insecure because of what they see in the media?The answer is probably yes, if we consider that plastic surgery(整形手术) is becoming more and more 25 . Since 1997 there has been a 465% increase in the total number of cosmetic procedures, despite the cost. Liposuction, for example, can cost up to E5,000. The number of teenagers who consider having plastic surgery just to look good is 26 .Teenagers are usually quite 27 about their physical appearance because it's so closely connected with their sense of self-esteem and 28 particularly in relationships with the opposite sex. Teenagers seem to want plastic surgery for different reasons from adults. Whereas adults often want plastic surgery so that they can stand out from the crowd, teenagers usually have operations done to look more like everyone else. The desire to have a good body is so great that many young men are turning to anabolic steroids(合成代谢类固醇) hormones in a(n) 29 to build a 'better' body. And it's not just girls who suffer from eating disorders —boys are now being diagnosed with them too, so they obviously feel the same pressure to be 30 attractive as girls do.Everyone has things about themselves they would like to change. It isn't 31 or wrong to think about improving your body — it's important for all of us to 32 in shape, eat well and try to make the most of ourselves. But you shouldn't let the 'imperfections' hat you find control your self-image, or you'll never be happy. We ought to realize that if we feel good inside, we’ll feel good with other people.III. Reading Comprehension 30％Section A 10％Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B. C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.We’ve all heard the incredible dot-com（网上公司）success about Internet start-ups that became billion-dollar companies almost overnight. Companies like c-Bay. PayPal, YouTube, and Google turned a(n) 33 few into instant millionaires. But what about the so-called ＂dot-bombs＂, the companies that didn’t 34 it? Who were they, and what did they do wrong？ was an online grocery store that was founded in the late 1990s and wen bankrupt in 2001. On Webvan. com, a user could order groceries and have them 35 whenever they wanted. Sounds like a great idea, right? So why did it 36 ?Like some of its fellow Internet failures, Webvan. com moved much too fast. Within a year and a half, Webvan was 37 in eight cities and had plans to enter over a dozen more. Perhaps counting on a huge number of future users, Webvan spent over 51 billion on warchouses and supplies before it had become 38 . But the company didn’t attract the number of users it needed and soon closed its doors.Another 39 shared by some dot-bombs is spending too much money on advertising and losing sight of the company’s real 40 . For example, the company focused a great deal of its energy and funding on commercials featuring a loveable sock puppet. The puppet became extremely popular with consumers and the company spent millions of dollars on advertising. But the start-up＇s actual service selling and delivering pet supplies, never became popular enough with consumers to 41 all the money that was spent on promotion.The downfall of some other dot-bombs was focusing on cutting-edge technology more than user needs. This was one of the factors leading to the failure of the British start-up . this start-up was created to sell fashion online to consumers around the world. However, the website was difficult to navigate, and it used technology that 42 a lot of bandwidth to operate a a time when most people were using slow dial-up connections.33.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.46.（A）47.Bomb Disposal（处理）Diver48.Typical salary: In the private sector you can earn up to £100, 000 a year，working just two months out of every three.49.The job: Being a bomb disposal diver involves descending to the seabed and searching for unexploded bombs, shells, grenades and landmines. Then either safely recovering and collecting the weapons, or securely disposing of them.50.Qualifications: To dive offshore, companies will expect you to have diving qualifications and, if possible, you should have a few years’ diving experience. On top of that, you must be given a diving assessment and a diving first aid course. and also undergo offshore survival training. These qualifications are a must-have requirement and you should expect to pay at least £15, 000 for all these courses. And that’s just the diving. To be able to dispose of the bombs safely, you’ll be required to have an explosive ordnance disposal（EOD）（爆炸性军械处理) qualification and several years of experience.51.To succeed as a bomb disposal diver, you need ... to stay calm in stressful situations. ‘You’re pretty much on your own at depth, with no visibility, working to a very narrow timescale’, says Daniel Roantree, an EOD diver. And you have to live with five to ten people in close proximity（靠近) for month or longer, so if you don’t like living in small confined spaces with lots of other people, forget it.

Experience is not essential to get the job.（B）It has been thought and said that Africans are born with musical talent. Because music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in Africa, we are inclined (倾向于) to think that all Africans are musicians.The impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators. Music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers rather than producers of music. We have records, television, concerts, and radio to fulfill many of our musical needs. In most situations where music is performed in our culture it is not difficult to distinguish the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in Africa. Alban Ayipaga, a Kasena semiprofessional musician from northern Ghana, says that when his flute and drum band is performing. "Anybody can take part. "This is true, but Kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the music. Some can sing along with the drummers, but relatively few can drum and even fewer can play the flute along with the ensemble. It is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping, singing, or somehow adding to the totality of music sound. Performances often take place in an open area(that is, not on a stage)and so the lines between the performing nucleus and the additional performers, active spectators, and passive spectators may be difficult to draw from our point of view.46. The difference between us and Africans, as far as music is concerned, is that _______ .A. most of us are consumers while most of them are producers of musicB. we are musical performers and they are professional musicianC most ofus are passive spectators while they are active spectatorD. we are the audience and they are the additional performer47. The author of the passage implies thatA all Africans are musical and therefore music is performed in AfricaB. not all Africans are born with musical talent although music is important in their lifeC most Africans are capable of joining in the music by playing musical instrumentD. most Africans perform as well as professional musicians48. The best title for this passage would beA. The Importance of Music to African PeopleB. Differences Between African Music and Music of Other CountriesC The Relationship Between Musicians and Their AudienceD. A Characteristic Feature of African Musical PerformanceSection C 8%Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be usedToday, widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year. ___49_____ And after going to school for 12 years, it doesn’t feel natural doing something that isn't academic.But while this may be true, it's not a good enough reason to condemn(谴责) gap years. There’s always a constant fear of falling behind everyone else on the socially perpetuated （永久的）" race to the finish line". whether that be toward graduate school, medical school or lucrative (赚钱的) career. But despite common misconceptions, a gap year does not hinder the success of academic pursuits. ___50_____Studies from the United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not. ____51___ It prepares them for independence, new responsibilities and environmental changes -all things that first-year students often struggle with the most. Gap year experiences can lessen the blow when it comes to adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environment, making it easier to focus on academics and activities.____52____ According to the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly 80 percent of college students end up changing their majors at least once. This isn’t surprising, considering the basic mandatory high school curriculum leaves students with a poor understanding of themselves listing one major on their college applications, but switching to another after taking college classes. It's not necessarily a bad thing. but depending on the school, it can be costly to make up credits after switching too late in the game. At Boston College, for example, you would have to complete an extra year were you to switch to the nursing school from another department.IV. Summary writing 8%Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. Ifeel there are a number of reasons for thisSome 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 tumed 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 carly 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 cal, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their livesThere is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise Tey clo 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, 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 le 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 habitsV.
