On the other hand,TV ads for fast food,sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat
more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.
Lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson,of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis,Told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food,those who'd watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake (吸收) of fruits,vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion, parents should limit and monitor TV viewing.
As far as I am concerned,children should watch no more than two hours of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right,being physically active and curbing their own TV time.

The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small one-engine airplane. At midnight, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter(高度计) failed. (The altimeter shows the height of the plane above the ground.) At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly dived into the Atlantic Ocean.(大西洋)
Just before daylight, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed fire coming from the engine.(引擎,发动机)Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.
Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honoured by President Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From
