For the first time in 10 years,the United States government has changed its guidance on how much exercise people need to stay healthy and when they should start.
For children and teens
The new guidance states that the most important time for children to begin exercising is between the ages of 3 and 5. 1. That could be light activities,moderate activities,or even vigorous(剧烈的)activities.
Doctors say it is important to start young.They add that from birth to age 5,a child’s brain develops more than at any other time in life. 2. Also,children who start exercising at a young age are more likely to establish healthy behaviors they will continue into adulthood.
But that does not mean putting a small kid on a treadmill(跑步机)or other exercise equipment. 3. After all,it's a kid’s nature to play freely and happily.
4. But it shouldn’t be less than one hour a day three times a week.Their activities should mostly be aerobic(有氧的)exercise,such as biking,swimming or running,which can strengthen the heart and lungs.Such exercise should also include muscle-and-bone-strengthening activities;such as climbing trees or playground equipment and playing sports.
For adults
For adults,the guidelines recommend exercising 150 minutes a week.That could be walking,gardening,dancing,etc.5. Experts say that even short amounts of aerobic exercise can provide health benefits,such as lowering blood pressure,reducing anxiety and improving sleep.
A.Any kind of activity that gets people exercising will do.
B.Aerobic activity works only if it lasts for at least 10 minutes.
C.Simply giving a kid the time and space to play actively is enough.
D.Children above 5 can have a relatively shorter time for daily exercise.
E.Children in this age range require about three hours’active activities daily.
F.Attaining the health benefits from exercise may be harder than earlier thought.
G.These developments have a 1asting effect on a child’s ability to succeed in life.
The Broadcom MASTERS competition aims to find a balance between celebrating individual accomplishments and acknowledging that science seldom happens alone.The competition takes off when students from around the country are teamed up and have to solve a series of hands—on challenges in the spotlight.
Nowadays,kids are fed with“the myth of the lone scientist”,so placing such challenges in the middle school period has a huge potential for impact.The focus on teambuilding skills gets students excited before more fears and stereotypes(成见)set in.
The initial pool of qualified students comes from the participants in nation-wide science fairs.Those who score in the top 10%(about 1 0,000 kids)have the qualification to apply.The judges select the top 300 young scientists,and that group is finally narrowed to 30 finalists.
Selection at this stage is clearly an honor in itself,but it counts as step one for the finalists.They are then flown to Washington,D.C.and placed into teams of five for the hands-on part of the competition.Each team is made up of students with different talents and skills,including academic focus and experience.
Unlike the science fairs,where most of the work takes place behind the scenes and students share a polished outcome,the hands-on challenges create a space where the work is the competition itself.The students take up a range of challenges in science,technology,engineering,math and so on.Each of the challenges will need the insight and skills of multiple team members.
Judges observing the challenges aren’t just looking for outcomes but also for leadership,teamwork and problem solving.
The Broadcom MASTERS attracts increasing numbers of passionate and talented young people who are eager to take part in a program that helps them grow as scientists,engineers and inventors.It lets the students experience a sense of coming together with true peers.More importantly,it provides them with new skills to tackle future challenges.
1.What does the Broadcom MASTERS competition mainly focus on?
A. Individual accomplishments. B. Hands-on challenges.
C. Academic performance. D. Team work.
2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. A large number of kids take part in the science fairs.
B. It’s not easy to be qualified as a member of the finalists.
C. The judges are too strict with the participants.
D. The nation-wide science fairs are well organized.
3.What can we infer from the text?
A. The Broadcom MASTERS competition has an increasing impact.
B. Middle school students prefer to challenge each other.
C. Students can learn more new skills from the Broadcom MASTERS.
D. The science fairs will be completely replaced by the Broadcom MASTERS.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Learning to Take on Scientific Challenges
B. Outstanding Students are Publicly Honored
C. Bringing Individual Potential to a Team Opportunity
D. The Science Fair:A Platform Where Students’Dreams Take off
