Researchers began reporting the benefits of family dinner about ten years ago
33、, focusing(集中注意力) mainly on how it affects children. Studies show that those families who eat dinner at least 3 or 4 times a week together, benefit in many ways. 2 Eating together helps families achieve（达到）open communication and build stronger and healthier relationships. Children have better grades
34、 at school and are better adjusted（适应）as teens and adults, and the entire family enjoys healthier nutrition.（营养）For many families, eating dinner together proves to be good and effective way to reduce the risk of youth rates of addiction（上瘾）, and helps to raise healthier children. It is also a great
35、time to share the events of the day, discuss news and ideas and just be together and enjoy each others company.3 During dinner time parents have better opportunity to show that they are the prior（优先）to their children. Sitting at the same table and sharing meals is where and when parents can find out
36、 more about their childrens school performance, daily activities and attitudes toward life. When parents have all this information they can better direct their kids toward positive（积极的）things in life. They also have better chance to reduce the possibility that children will get involved with alcohol
37、, tobacco, and illegal（非法的）drugs.4 However, family researchers say that the benefits of family dinner by no means can be considered as automatic. Parents can sit down to dinner with their kids every day and achieve nothing. _ if there is too much arguing going on, if there is no meaningful conversat
