Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are 36 reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact 37 we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, _38 fried chicken and ice cream, 39 low price. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups 40 seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there 41 fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that 42 parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I _43 this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate 44 healthy food, or are always allowed to choose 45 they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this 46 throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days 47 very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they 48 home, they sit in front of 49 or their computers and play computer games. 50 is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣),it also gives them time to eat more 51 food. 52 they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be 1 for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it 2 .
Research is preliminary, but several studies 3 people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.
In an editorial 4 this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define 5 activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.
While health officials have issued guidelines 6 minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated 7 .
"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send 8 signals," Ekblom-Bak said. She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucoseand fat in the 9 start to shut down.
Even for people who 10 , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day — 11 still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, 12 in a single bout.
That wasn't 13 news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting 14 a computer. Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art 15 wrestling, and also does Thai boxing.
"I'm sure there are some detrimental 16 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being 17 when I can helps," he said. "I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be 18 dangerous."
Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat 19 had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised.
Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars.
Experts said more research is needed to 20 just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.
