16、uggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this- 4 -Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has

17、turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

20、 to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

25、that this condition is caused by changes in the availability（得到）of sunlight.”One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight, the biological clock that regulates mood, sleep, and hormones is delayed, running more slowly in winter.
