A third of all youngsters are now overweight or obese, well on their way to j

20、oining the two thirds of adults whose weight also tips the scales at unhealthy levels. Potential solutions are at least as controversial in Americas kitchens as the single-payer plan is on Capitol Hill. Should we ration chips and soda? Or kick the kids outdoors so they get at least a minimum level o

21、f physical activity every day? Do we clear the pantry of junk food? Or all of the above?Now a new study by researchers at the University of Buffalo suggests an even more radical idea: banning fat friends from eating together. Sarah-Jeanne Salvy, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the university

22、s School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and her colleagues found that fat kids consume significantly more calories when they chow down with friends who are also overweight than when they cat with lean friends.In the study, published in the August issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutri

23、tion, researchers randomly paired 23 overweight and 42 normal-weight children between the ages of 9 and 15 with either a friend or a kid they did not know. There were 33 friend pairs and 39 stranger pairs. Each pair of kids spent 45 minutes in a room that contained puzzles, games, and bowls of both

24、healthy snacks (in this case, baby carrots and grapes) and calorie-rich treats (potato chips and cookies). The kids could eat as much as they wanted, but only from their own bowls. The researchers monilored the youngsters on closed-circuit TV. Afterward they weighed the uneaten snacks to figure out

25、how many calories the kids had consumed.The results showed that in general, friends who ate together took in more calories than youngsters who were unfamiliar with their partner. That was true for both fat and thin kids. Not surprisingly, overweight kids ate more than lean kids.whether or not they w

26、ere paired with a friend. And they ate even more when they were paired with another overweight youngstcr.fhe greatest number of calories was consumed by two overweight friends caring together in what Sah. describes as a kind of synergistic effect.“Being friends increased food intake.being ovcrwcight

27、 and caring with an overweight person increased caring, and when you combined those, the overweight friends were eating about 700 calories, “ Salvy says. (The lean kids consumed several hundred fewer calories. ) And, she points out, this is snack food which means they were consuming a good chunk of

28、their daily calories in that one sitting.The effect of friends on food intake is an increasingly interesting subject to researchers. In 2007, a highly publicized study in The New England Journal of Medicine found that when a person becomes obese, his or her friends increase their own risk of obesity

29、 by 57 percent. The greatest influence was among close friends. In fact, Salvy thinks that a normal-weight child is more likely to be a positive influence on a fat youngster than the other way around. “The overweight kid who cats with the lean kid is going to eat less, “she says, because such kids a

30、re aware of the stigma against obesity and“ they are becoming more self-conscious. They dont want to be seen as a pig. “But what about two fat kids? Should they stay away Irom each other just as recovering alcoholics tend to stay away from drinkers? No, says Salvy basically because overweight youngs

31、ters have enough social problems without adding ostracism to the list. A fat child “might have only a few friends, so I dont want to isolate those kids, “she says. And research shows that isolation could exacerbate their bad eating habits. “We do have some data showing that overweight kids. eat more

32、 when they arc alone than when they are with other people, “ she says (thats also true for women). Instead, Salvy advises parents to focus on the dynamic bctween the friends by helping their child bea good example for the other youngster. Serve healthy meals at home, and encourage your youngster to

33、become more physically active. But be positive; nagging wont help. “If one of the kids starts changing.“ she says. “chunces are the other kid is going to model those behaviors.“None of this is easy, of course. Getting kids to cat right and exercise is at least as complicated as finding the solution

34、to the health-care crisis in Washington. Salvy is now studying how parents affect their youngsters eating behavior.（分数：5.00）(1).It can be inferred from the study done by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that A. stranger pairs of kids have no influence on each other. B. fat friends become o

35、bcsc more quickly than the unfamiliar youngsters. C. the pair of overweight friends cats the most. D. the lean friends even consume more than the stranger overweight pairs.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the word “synergistic“ in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Energetic. B. Interactive. C. Statistic. D.

A German developer, Solar Millennium, annou

39、nced plans to build two large solar farms here that would harness the sun to generate electricity, creating hundreds of jobs. But then things got messy. The company revealed that its preferred method of cooling the power plants would consume 1.3 billion gallons of water a year, about 20 percent of t

40、his desert valleys available water.Now Solar Millennium finds itself in the midst of a new-age version of a Western water war. The public is divided, pitting some people who hope to make money selling water rights to the company against others concerned about the projects impact on the community and

41、 the environment. “Im worried about my well and the wells of my neighbors, “George “Fucker, a retired chemical engineer, said on a blazing afternoon.Here is an inconvenient truth about renewable energy: It can sometimes demand a huge amount of water. Many of the proposed solutions to the nations ene

42、rgy problems, from certain types of solar farms to biofuel refineries to cleaner coal plants, could consume billions of gallons of water every year.“ When push comes to shove, water could become the real throttle on renewable energy, “said Michael E. Webber, an assistant professor at the University

43、of Texas in Austin who studies the relationship between energy and water.Conflicts over water could shape the future of many energy technologies. The most water-efficient renewable technologies are not necessarily the most economical, but water shortages could give them a competitive edge. In Califo

44、rnia, solar developers, have already been forced to switch to less water-intensive technologies when local officials have refused to turn on the tap. Other big solar projects are mired in disputes with state regulators over water consumption.To date, the flashpoint for such conflicts has been the So

45、uthwest, where dozens of multibillion-dollar solar power plants are planned for thousands of acres of desert. While most forms of energy production consume water, its availability is especially limited in the sunny areas that are otherwise well suited for solar farms.At public hearings from Albuquer

46、que to San Luis Obispo, Calif. , local residents have sounded alarms over the impact that this industrialization will have on wildlife, their desert solitude and, most of all, their water.Joni Eastley, chairwoman of the county commission in Nye County, Nev. , which includes Amargosa Valley. said at

47、one hearing that her area had been “inundated“ with requests from renewable energy developers that “far exceed the amount of available water“.Many projects involve building solar thermal plants, which use cheaper technology than the solar panels often seen on roofs. In such plants, mirrors heat a li

48、quid to create steam that drives an electricity-generating turbine. As in a fossil fuel power plant, that steam must be condensed back to water and cooled for reuse.The conventional method is called wet cooling. Hot water flows through a cooling tower where the excess heat evaporates along with some of the water, which must be replenished constantly. An al
