一、阅读理解。
A new report from the American Heart Association says fitness (健康; 身材适中) levels in children are lower today than they were 30 years ago. The researchers (研究员) looked at the result from the past 46 years. The surveys were on more than 25 million children in 28 countries. The research team found that on average, today’s children run one kilometre about one minute slower than their parents did thirty years ago. The results were almost the same for boys and girls. The distance (距离) a child can run is becoming a bit shorter by about 0.5% every year. One of the biggest reasons for the slowdown in children's running ability is obesity. Kids are overweight because they are eating too much and not exercising enough.
The researchers say their report is worrying. If children are becoming fatter and less fit, they will be unhealthier in the future. The researcher Dr Grant Tomkinson said: “If a young person is unfit now, then they are more likely to get illness, like heart disease later in life.” Dr Tomkinson said: “We need to help to make children and young people to develop fitness habits that will keep them healthy now and into the future. They need to choose a few physical activities they like or think they might like to try, and they need to get moving.” He added: “Young people can be fit in different ways. They can be strong like a weightlifter (举重的人), or flexible (灵活) like a gymnast (体操运动员), or skillful like a tennis player.”
