The Poetry Foundation, recently named American poet Jack Prelutsky as the nation's first children's poet laureate (桂冠诗人)．The group created the award as a way to increase children's love of poetry.

A few extra pounds might help you live longer if you're past your prime but otherwise healthy，a new study finds.
Doctors routinely follow guidelines issued by the World Health Organization(WHO)．Because weight depends on height，they use a standard measure called body mass index(BMI)，which is calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters squared.
Healthy weight is described as a BMI anywhere between 18.5 and 24.9 in adults，whereas 25 to 29.9 is overweight and 30＋is obese(肥胖的)．
The new study suggests that in the elderly，these boundaries may be too narrow.While no one is questioning that extra fat increases health risks in young and middle－aged adults，it may reduce the effect on old age，said Dr. Thomas Yoshikawa.
So far，nobody knows exactly how BMI affects lifespan(寿命)in older people.Some researchers think that it acts as an energy reserve that can help the elderly cope with illness.
For the study，Australian researchers followed more than 9，000 men and women who were between 70 and 75 years old at the outset.The participants reported their height and weight as well as various factors related to health and lifestyle.About 33 percent of the women and 44 percent of the men were overweight.
Over 10 years，more than 2，000 of the participants died.Women who had an active life and didn't smoke were the most likely to be alive at the end of the study.But neither health nor lifestyle could fully explain why overweight people of both sexes survived longer than the normal－weight people，who fared no better than obese people.In terms of survival，the best BMI was between 26 and 27，well within the overweight range.
The new results agree with earlier research showing that fat may be beneficial in old age.
6．What does the underlined word“prime〞in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．The time before retirement.
B．The strongest or most successful time.
C．The later years in life.
D．The years suitable to study and work.
7．If a person is 2 meters in height and 100 kg in weight，his BMI is ________．A．30 B．28
C．25 D．20

A．WHO should change the standard of BMI
B．we shouldn't lose weight when we are old
C．we needn't worry about our weight throughout our life
D．extra fat does more harm to the young than the elderly
9．What do we know about the study from the passage?
A．It was done by WHO.
B．It lasted for more than 10 years.
C．Most of its participants were men.
D．It found women live longer than men.
10．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．Fat has little to do with people's lifespan.
B．People in their 30s should pay more attention to their health.
C．If you're 70 and slightly overweight，you may have a long lifespan. D．People shouldn't care about their weight too much.
