Question

Q1.Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.
US nutrition experts have come to the conclusion that watching too much TV was one of the main reasons why children in the USA were overweight. Wilhelm Dietz, a nutrition scientist at the National Centre for the Prevention of Chronic Diseases in Atlanta, Georgia, said that the tests carried out at several schools in Massachusetts and at a clinic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania had clearly shown that children soon shed their excess pounds when they stopped spending so much time in front of the TV set.
The tests involved studying the eating and TV watching habits of 1,295 school children in the sixth and seventh grades. It was found that overweight children who reduced the time they spent watching TV by 20 hours per week, lost up to 20% of their body weight in four months, and were able to maintain their new slimmer outline.
By comparison, another group of children who simply did more physical exercise during the same period lost only 13% of their weight and after a degree of initial success, quickly put it back on again.
Presenting the result of the studies in New York, Wilhelm Dietz said that parents tended to underestimate the amount of time their children spent motionless in front of television sets; in many cases, they did not even know that their children were sitting chained to a TV programme at kindergarten or a friend’ house, for example.
Paediatricians recommend that children should not watch TV for more than one to two hours per day. “The more TV they watch, the more they tend to eat the things that are advertised on TV, “said Dietz. Unfortunately, it usually meant high-fat snacks, potato crisps or chocolate. “The more TV children watch, the more lethargic they are,” said Dietz. He recommends that parents should important a kind of bonus strategy to encourage their children to adopt better habits, such as allowing them half an hour of TV for every hour they spend playing outdoors. And, said Dietz, on no account should they have a TV set in their bedrooms.
