How often do you exercise? A new study found that one third of the kids from 12 to 15 weren’t getting enough physical activity. The results were about 800 kids.
Doctors suggested an hour or more of physical activity every day. According to the , only 1 in 4 of the US kids exercised enough.
Few in the survey met the doctors’ ideas about physical activity that raises the heart rate and makes people become . However, most of those kids said they did less than an hour of exercise the week before. Overall, about 25% they got an hour of that kind of hard exercise every day. Kids reported they usually did most of the activities outside of school gym class---- for boys and running for girls.
The study found that teens were less active than normal-weight girls and boys. Overweight girls were kind of less active than normal-weight girls, levels were similar among overweight and usual-weight boys. The study also said that the obesity rate for children aged 2 to19 17%, or about 12.5 million kids.
“There’s always room for improvement,” said Tala Fakhouri, was the lead writer of the report. She also said the results provided useful information to fitness campaigns such as Let’s Move, which was started by the First Lady Michelle Obama in 2010. To encourage kids to eat right and get in shape, the First Lady schools and held exercise events. She also called on schools to offer regular classes.
Fakhouri suggested kids who got physical education at school may get grades. She said schools could do more to help by not cutting rest and giving kids more time for physical activity.

Right from childhood,my brothers began to play ice hockey(冰球)with me.They all me to become an ice hockey player some day.My mom didn’t agree,and she __me into the skating although I always had a strong hope for ice hockey.
Finally we reached an agreement that I became the referee(裁判)of ice hockey.Little did I know that 1 was beginning an activity that would my character.At first I only worked with my brothers.Everyone was and we got along quite well with each other.I soon realized that I needed to work with other people,and that’s when my experience changed.As I began dealing with more coaches who acted in unpleasant ways,all I wanted to do was to get through each game and then be able to .without getting into trouble.Although as a referee I tried my best in every match,they sometimes shouted at me.That made me feel ,but I decided not to let them drive me away.
I made the to stand up for myself.I never answered rudely to the coaches,but I did not let them destroy my confidence any more.There were still a few situations that made me afraid.0nce I called a penalty(判罚)and the team ended up losing.I knew I had made the right call,even though I was when I saw that team’s fans waiting for me at my room. I stood my ground and overcame my fears(克服恐惧).
I’ve been a referee for six years,but I can’t say it’S easy.Every game me something new and I never know what to expect.Now I have enough preparation to deal with
the unexpected.These are the little lessons that I'm thankful to have learned as a woman referee

I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.
“Excuse me,”
I looked up and a nice-looking woman standing before me.
“Is your name Roger?” asked.
“Yes,” I answered, feeling rather confused(迷惑) as I had never seen her before.
“My name’s Barbara and my is Tony, “she he said, pointing to a middle-aged man sitting alone at the table by the window. He was and weak.
“Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida.” She added.
I looked at that man for a few seconds, I didn’t recognize(认识) him.
“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring the bell,”I said.
She walked back, began with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look directly at me.
I ordered breakfast and a cup of , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I know him,” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. All of a sudden it came to me like a flash of lightning.
“Tony, the bully, the bad boy!” I could believe my eyes. “Jesus! He’ s so thin now. Not the big boy that I from back in 1977.”
Everything came up to my mind. The time this boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed me against the walls in the hallway just to make himself a big man to all other students.
“I am sorry, Roger,” Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin trembling hand. “I am so sorry for that I did to you.”
“I’m…I’m er…” I didn’t know what to to him.
After a few months later, I received a letter from Barbara. Tony was . Tony had been a fireman and had been seriously wounded in a task.
How I regretted for not saying something to him but I no longer had the chance!

"Two reporters will visit our new school. And some of you will be in the photo." Ms. Myers told Room 5. The kids were and started doing their hair except Brad. He knew he wouldn't be in the photo.
Brad was small. Kids were always making jokes about how he was. "They won't put Brad in or you'd need a magnifying glass(放大镜)to see him," Charlotte said. The other kids laughed. Brad to smile, even though what Charlotte said was . He believed they didn't mean to him.
Two reporters named Rick and Tegan arrived half an hour later. "Time to take photos," Tegan said. "Who do you want, Rick?"
"I'll have these three girls and those three boys." Then he pointed to Jocob, Eddie, and Brad.
Brad could believe it.
Rick set up the six kids in front of the new library's big painting. "It's big." he said. "We'll get you guys to kneel (跪) in front of it, it looks even bigger."
"Is that why you picked Brad?" said one of the Room 5 kids. "So it looks really big?" Some people laughed. Brad also gave a as he usually did.
But Rick shook his head. "No," he said. "I chose him because he's got a huge smile two miles wide."
He looked at Brad and said, "Plus, this guy is big inside, where it . Right?" Hearing this, Brad spoke before he could think. "In my heart, I'm three miles wide." Room 5 laughed again. But Brad knew that they were laughing him this time.
