Snack time is a part of the day for children of all ages. But new research suggests that kids snacking in big groups could be at risk for obesity.
Scientists from American University looked at the eating behavior of 54 kids between the ages of 2 and 6. At snack time, the scientist watched the amount of food each child ate while they were in groups of either three or nine. According to the study, the more children there are in a group, the more likely they are to eat more. Those in the larger group ate nearly 30 percent more than those in the smaller group, and they actually ate faster.
Since this is the first such study in children, scientists are quick to point out the importance of encouraging healthy habits in kids as early as possible.
“If you know kids eat more in large groups, it seems perfect to use this information to keep snack groups small or use small tables,” says Dr. Jana Klauer, an expert in New York.
Smaller groups would allow for a quiet and more relaxing environment-a perfect chance to teach children about food, manners and how to know when they feel full. “This would have an effect on kids' eating,” adds Klauer. “They would slow down and eat less.”
【小題1】How many times have the scientists done such study according to the passage?

A．Once B．Twice C．Three times D．Many times
【小題2】The underlined word means”      ”in Chinese.
A．健康B．肥胖C．瘦弱D．服從
【小題3】Why do children in smaller groups lose weight?
A．Because children in smaller groups eat faster.
B．Because children in smaller groups don't like eating.
C．Because children in smaller groups don't know about food.
D．Because children in smaller groups eat slowly and eat less.

Homework should be done as soon as you get home from school. If you have after-school activities, the homework should be done first. At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack break and also to allow for stretching(拉伸的)breaks.

    Also, you should remember that it is your duty to do your homework. Next time, when you want to depend on Mom and Dad for help, please try to find the answer yourself, because you will learn much, much more that way.

When you have a question, especially something about a science or math, don't always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to try to find the answer yourself. If this doesn't work, you can also look at the materials in the back of the book. They may guide you to the pages you should look at to help you understand the problem.

    Finally, while doing homework, don't think about or do other things. Keep working. Setting a time limit(限制) often helps with this. Different ages decide different amounts of time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child that's aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is about right for a child aged 9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes from the ages of 13 to 15. This, of course, depends on your abilities to pay attention and stay on tasks.

1.In the first paragraph, the writer mainly tells us that ______.

   A. doing homework is the first thing you should do at home

   B. after-school activities can't affect doing homework

   C. parents can help kids with their homework at night

   D. kids need a good rest after school

2. In the third paragraph, the writer wants to tell us that ______.

   A. students should ask the teacher more questions

   B. thinking over the questions before asking others is important

   C. problems can't be solved without a teacher's help

   D. students shouldn't always look at the materials in the back of the book

3.The passage mainly tells children ______.

   A. not to look away while doing homework

   B. to do homework by themselves

   C. not to turn to teachers when doing homework

   D. to do their homework quickly and in the right way'
