It was another day to jump rope in gym class. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope into big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the

back of the line and frowned.

Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted. He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another, the kids watched the rope, ran in and jumped. Then it was Millie's turn. She watched the rope go around and around, but she didn't move. She felt like everyone was looking at her.

Millie's friends cheered, “Go, Millie, go！”

Just then, Ms. Miles, the gym teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.

“Let's see how long each one of you can jump without missing，”she said as she gave each student a short rope. “Ready, set. Go！”

Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quickly to herself.

After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering, “Go, Millie, go！”

She was the only one still jumping rope! The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going. When she was too tired to go on, she stopped. The whole class cheered. Everyone was looking at her and smiling. Millie smiled back!

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 third­and fourth­grade students, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.91 kg) less over a one­year 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 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 one­quarter to one­third.

Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continue their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.

“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around 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 added. ()27．The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to __________．

A．report the time children spend watching TV

B．show that more TV time leads to getting fatter

C．tell us the best way to reduce weight

D．introduce the background of the research

A．is more than four hours a day

B．is less than four hours a day

C．doubled in the last twenty years

D．is more than on any other activities

()29．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Weight increase owes to the result of a reduction in TV viewing.

B．The percentage of children getting fatter has doubled in the last 20 years.

C．Children usually eat less while watching TV.

D．Children usually eat nothing while watching TV.

()30．The main idea of the passage would be __________．

A．less TV time helps reduce children's weight

B．fewer meals are a must in reducing children's weight

C．the less you eat, the thinner you will be

D．more exercise is of great benefit to reducing weight
