Question

Singapore worries a lot about the fitness of its people. One third of the people in the country of four million are overweight, and about 6% of them are obese (过度肥胖). Every year, September is fitness month and one year recently the      for the month was “Fighting Obesity”.

This fight     unhealthy lifestyles starts in the schools. Everyone is educated about eating well and taking exercise. Students whose weight is more than it should be are asked to join the school health club and take part in special activities to help them     a couple of kilograms. During breaks they do not go to the canteen (餐厅) to eat snacks,     to the school hall for some exercise. The school also talks to their parents to see if they can plan a healthier diet for the children. Sometimes the parents     it is their cooking that is causing the problem and then it is easy to persuade (说服) them to change. Some children find it     to lose weight, but they are told not to give up easily. A big     is made to interest them in sport. Fun and games are used to attract the students to running and jumping. One school gives its students a smart student card which they can use to buy books and food. Parents can     a list of the food the child is eating and discuss it at home. Fitness classes may be held on Saturdays for those who need them. Parents come and help with ball games and races.

Schools     to allow some types of food like French fries（薯条）. Young people,    , often like junk food and use their pocket money on the way home to buy hamburgers and pizza. It is difficult to stop this, but the schools try, and to encourage the schools there are Trim and Fit Awards for the ones with good ideas or whose students are fit and healthy.
