Many studies show that children around the world are becoming less active and less physically fit. The result is an increase in I he condition of being overweight and having other diseases.

  It is a major concern to public health officials. And it may be that fitness levels affect (影響) more than physical health. For students? it may also affect test scores.

  In Redondo Beach,California,more than 700 children recently are walking to school with parents and,in some cases,even their dogs. The students do this once a week. The children may not know it but walking helps reduce fat. It also means to increase their activity,or fitness levels.

  "I like walking to school with my friends."

  "Elissa is one of my friends. And we talk about a lot of things at school. We talk about how hard our homework is and all of the fun activities we're doing."

  A study from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that most American children are physically unfit. But children in other countries also face this problem.

  The World Health Organization advises that children between 5 and 17 get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day.

  Studies on children and exercise show that fitness is good for more than just physical health.

  A US Institute of Medicine study shows that physical activity helps students with their studies. Harold Kohl led the study. He is a professor at the University of Texas. He researches how diseases spread among populations.

1. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵同over 700 children in Redondo Beach. California,可回原文定位于第三段。根據(jù)"The students do this once a week."可知，他們每周步行去上學(xué)一次，因此D項(xiàng)表述"他們和父母每天步行去上學(xué)"是錯(cuò)誤的。根據(jù)第三段最后一句"It also means to increase their activity,or fitness levels."可知，步行去上學(xué)意味著改善健康，排除A;根據(jù)第三段第一句"...walking to school with parents and,in some cases,even their dogs."可知，他們和父母或狗一起去上學(xué)，排除B;根據(jù)第四段"It's a good way to make the kids exercise in the morning."可知,步行去上學(xué)是讓孩子鍛煉的好方法，排除C。

2. C同義猜測(cè)題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞reduce,可回原文定位于第三段最后一句。根據(jù)"It also means to increase their activity,or fitness levels."可以判斷,"walking helps reduce fat"的意思是"步行幫助減少脂肪"，因此reduce的意思是"減少"。

3. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞A study from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows ,可回原文定位于第八段第一句。根據(jù)"A study from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that most American children are physically unfit." 可知，大部分美國(guó)的孩子身體不健康。

4. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞TRUE,可回原文定位于第二段最后一句。根據(jù)"For students,it may also affect test scores."可知，健康水平或許會(huì)影響考試成績(jī)。

5. C主旨大意題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞The passage mainly tells,可回原文定位并理解全文。文章主要講述了孩子們的健康。
