When it comes to managing children’s overweight, cutting portion sizes (份量) and cutting carbohydrates (糖类) can both work well —though carbohydrate control is difficult for many kids, a new study finds.Many adults have tried to win the war by staying away from carbohydrates, especially things like white bread and potatoes. But much less has been known about how those eating plans work for kids, including whether they are safe and nutritionally sound.For the new study, researchers let 100 obese (肥胖的) 7-to-12-year-olds to have one of three eating plans: one that followed the traditional way of controlling portion sizes; a low-carbohydrate diet; or a “reduced glycemic (血糖的) load”plan that cut down such food as white bread, sweets and white potatoes.Over one year, all three plans worked well in controlling kids’ weight gain. “All of these plans can work,” said lead researcher Shelley Kirk, of the Heart Institute atCincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. “But the low-carbohydrate one was really difficult for kids to follow.”Generally speaking, a child will grow 2 inches per year. So for an obese child, simply keeping the same weight over a year is a “success”. A growing child might not see a big w eight loss, but what matters is improving “weight condition” and overall health.The children in this study were part of a hospital-based weight loss program. But other hospitals across the US have offered programs for obese children. And in other cases, your family doctor may be able to help.In any case, parents should get some kind of guidance in managing their kids’ weight, rather than going it alone. And parents should also be prepared to make diet and lifestyle changes themselves. “One of the hardest things is that families need to change,”Kirk said. “So think about the eating plan that the whole family can follow and stick with.”6. The underlined words “the war” in Paragraph 2 refer to ________.A. the trouble between two countriesB. the fight aga inst kids’ overweightC. the worry about carbohydratesD. the fight between kids and parents7. What’s the result of Shelley Kirk’s research?A. All the plans worked well.B. The control of portion sizes was difficult.C. The low-carbohydrate diet was easy to follow.D. The “reduced glycemic load” plan was difficult.8. Keeping an obese child under the same weight over a year is a success because ________.A. what matters is improving “weight condition”B. the family doctor has helped these kids a lotC. hospitals have offered programs for obese kidsD. it is natural for a child to grow 2 inches per year9. The text is mainly written for ________.A. parentsB. kidsC. teachersD. scientists答案与解析【解题导语】本文主要是关于肥胖孩子的一项研究，为父母们提供一些建议。
