    Countless parents have kids who just want to eat chickens pasta, or macaroni and cheese, and definitely without any vegetables. So what’s a parent to do?1.. We reached out to experts on healthy eating for kids, and they had a ton of great advice.

Make food interesting. Lori Day, an educational psychologist, thought that if kids found it interesting, they would be more likely to try it. So Day let her daughter shell peas, count them, sort them by size and play with them before putting them in the pot.2.. "Make food interesting if your child is naturally curious and is willing to engage,” Day said.

3.. Several parents talked about how bringing their children with them to the farmers market or the grocery store and having them help with the cooking can get them more excited and invested in what they are eating. Kids can be inspired to eat healthy when they are part of the meal, said Margaret McSweeney, host of the podcast Kitchen Chat. "A trip to the local farmers market can connect them with the source of food."

Give kids choices. Amy, an infant-child psychologist said that from a young age, parents should let their kids choose foods and snacks they like, within reason. “Give them more room to choose as they get older,n she added. And never get into a power struggle with your kids about eating, she said. 4.

Model healthy eating. Our kids can be influenced to make better choices if they watch us doing the same.

Pam Moore, founder of the blog, whatever, says her kids always see her and husband eating healthy.  5.. I often keep sliced veggies washed, sliced and ready to eat for snacks. Our children will ask for bites as time goes on, as they like to copy what we do," said Moore.

A.First, don't stress.

B.Inspire kids to eat healthy.

C.Get the kids to be involved.

D.Her daughter loved eating them raw or cooked.

E.Make sure you are not over controlling or overeducating them.

F.Both my husband and I typically add greens to our eggs at breakfast.

G.We talk about food colors and how it is healthiest to make meals with various colors.

    It turns out that overworking your brain with either physical or mental exercise may lower your ability to delay self-satisfaction. And that may set you up for poor choices in your self-care and finances.

A new study published Thursday in the journal Current Biology asked excellent endurance athletes to overtrain for three out of nine weeks, and compared them to a group who did a normal 9-week training program.

Not only did those overworked athletes perform worse on a cycling test at the end of the overtraining MRls(核磁共振) of their brains during behavioral tasks showed more exhaustion in the cognitive control part of the brain system. “Cognitive control in this situation is the capacity to maintain exercise despite things like muscle pain,” said study author Bastien Blain, a research associate at University College London. “And what we found is that there is an intelligence factor involved in exercising and it has a limited capacity. You cannot use it forever.”

In other words, your brain will burn out and affect your body’s ability to exercise. But that’s not all. Overworking that part of the brain also reduced the athletes’ abilities to resist temptation of an immediate reward, “For example, they were asked whether they preferred $10 now or $50 in six months,” Blain said. “And those who overtrained were more likely to choose the immediate reward, which is interesting. It could provide a mechanism to explain why some athletes are using drugs to improve their performance.”

One caution about the exercise study is that it only looked at endurance athletes, said. Dr. Marc-Andre Cornier, who is associate director of Colorado University’s Anschutz Health and Wellness Center. “This is potentially very important for the higher end athlete who is overdoing it,” Cormier said. “But does this have anything to do with the average Joe going to the gym? You can’t conclude that from this study.”

1.What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?

A.The brain system. B.A limited capacity.

C.An intelligence factor. D.The cognitive control.

2.Why did overworked athletes tend to choose the immediate reward?

A.Because they were too eager to succeed.

B.Because all parts of their brain burned out.

C.Because overtraining led to their bad decisions.

D.Because they took drugs to improve their performance.

3.What is the passage mainly about?

A.A study about self-satisfaction.

B.Negative effects of too much exercise.

C.The relation between brain and exercise.

D.Poor choices in people’s self care and finances.

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A.There is a limit to the brain.

B.Higher end athletes have great potential.

C.Top athletes may suffer from overtraining.

D.Delaying self-satisfaction results in better performance.

    The amount of time young children in the United States spend with mobile screens might raise some eyebrows, as a new report found it has tripled in just four years.

Children 8 and younger spent about 15 minutes a day staring at a mobile screen in 2013 and now they spend 48 minutes a day, according to the report by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit organization focused on helping children, parents, and educators navigate the world of media and technology.

The report, released on Thursday, also found that 42% of children 8 and younger now have their own tablet devices, a sharp increase from 7% four years ago and less than 1% in 2011.

Children spending more time on mobile devices comes as no shock to Douglas Gentile, a psychology professor at Iowa State University who was not involved in the new report but has studied the effects of media use on children.

“On the one hand, it's not surprising because it's what we look around ourselves and can see.I can see it at the airport, for example, I can see it at restaurants and I can even see it in my own home where my younger daughter watches almost no television, but she'll watch lots of TV shows on her phone, "Gentile said.

“On the other hand, it's been getting harder for parents to really monitor a lot of what their kids are seeing and doing.At the same time, they're relying on the seeming benefit of being able to quiet the kid at a restaurant with a device,” he said. “We may be building a bit of a Frankenstein’s monster, because we re using that power for our benefit, not for the child’s benefit.”

These changing patterns in how children interact with media appear to be great, said James Steyer, chief executive officer and founder of Common Sense Media.in an email to CNN. “One of the most shocking findings is that mobile devices are now as popular in the home as TVs-98% of households with kids under 8 have a mobile device,” he said. “The ubiquity of mobile is changing childhood.”

1.The writer uses figures in the second paragraph to_________.

A.prove the reliability of the report.

B.praise the efforts made by Common Sense Media.

C.indicate the popular use of mobile devices nowadays.

D.illustrate the increase of time children spend on mobile devices.

2.According to Douglas Gentile, parents_________.

A.can totally control children's use of mobile devices .

B.always use mobile devices in favor of their children.

C.partly cause children's increasing use of mobile devices.

D.often discourage their children from using mobile devices.

3.The underlined word in the last paragraph most probably means “_________”.

A.rare use. B.important role.

C.obvious benefit D.common existence
