Lots of kids want to keep healthy by eating well. Here’s something kids can do to eat healthily: learn the differences between Go, Slow and Whoa foods.

The US National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute asks kids to start thinking about whether (是否) foods are Go foods, Slow foods or Whoa foods.

Go foods

These foods are good to eat almost anytime. They are the healthiest ones. Examples, tofu, fresh fruit (apples, oranges, bananas, etc.) and fresh vegetables (carrots, tomatoes, etc.).

Slow foods

We should eat these foods sometimes. We shouldn’t eat them every day. At most, eat them a few times a week. Examples, 100% fruit juice, sports drinks and pancakes.

Whoa foods

These foods should make you say that—Whoa! Should I eat that? Whoa foods are the least healthy. Examples, ice cream, cakes and candy.

Now you know what Go, Slow and Whoa foods are. You can choose what to eat. Be sure to tell your parents about the three groups. Then everyone in the family can learn when to say Go and when to say Whoa!

A. parents   B. teachers    C. kids    D. cooks

Do you walk slowly? If so, you may not want to hear the findings of this study.

Scientists at Duke University found that the slower a person walks, the less (较少的) capable his or her brain is. Scientists studied the walking speeds (速度) of 904 middle-aged people from New Zealand starting from when they were just 3 years old. Over 42 years, scientists tested their walking speed many times.

They found that the speed had something to do with the brain. If the subjects (实验对象) had lower IQ scores and worse language skills as children, they were likely to become slow walkers as they reached middle age. At the age of 45, the average gap in IQ between the slowest and the fastest walkers was 16 points.

Scientists said that genes (基因) might be the reason for this. However, smarter people may be more likely to do physical activity, which means they may walk faster later in life.

 Can slower walkers make their brains work better? Maybe. Scientists looked at the brain scans of 926 people. They asked them to walk as fast as they can for two minutes. Scientists checked the distance they walked and then asked them to take some tests. Those who walked further and faster did better on the tests.

31. Scientists found that people who walk slowly              .

A. are much smarter    B. are good at working

C. may be less smart    D. have high IQ scores

32. What do we know about the study?

A. Most people in the study were 42 years old.

B. People in the study were smarter than other people.

C. Scientists at Duke University studied 1,000 people.

D. Scientists tested people’s walking speed more than once.

33. What’s the main idea of paragraph 4?

A. The ages of the subjects.

B. The findings of the study.

C. How to get better skills.

D. How to carry out the study.
