Being seriously overweight
2、can lead to health problems later in life. As a result, Arkansas first started the BMI program in 2004public schools were required to provide parents with a yearly report of their childrens body-mass index (BMI), a number to show whether their weight is appropriate(合适的). Along with students BMIs, pa

But not everyone supports schools in reporting students BMIs. Some parents have complained their kids worry that they are being “graded” on their w

5、childrens self-esteem(自尊). Some also question whether its the role of schools to monitor students weight. Dr. Nancy Krebs, a nutrition expert, also thinks obesity report cards arent good enough. “Theyre making kids feel bad about how they are,” she says. “Instead of focusing on kids BMIs, schools sh
6、ould provide better health and physical education classes and serve healthier food.”However, supporters of the program say overweight children have had self-esteem problems before their parents get obesity report cards. Dr. Karen Young at Arkansas Childrens Hospital says, “The overweight kids are be
7、ing teased(被嘲弄). It doesnt take the letter for them to feel bad.”Health experts from the University of Arkansas think it would be a pity to stop the BMI program. They see the program as a wake-up call for families and the letter is spurring some major action on some parents. Danita Thomas said she k

But since getting that first BMI report, Irie has lost nearly 100 pounds and given up junk food. “It was helpful,” she said. “It made me realize that we needed to do something different.”The BMI reports and other steps, such as limits on vending machine(自动售货机) use at

But some say the planets health and peoples health may be suffering from it.The idea that bottled water is safer
14、for humans may not be true. The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said, “There is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle, it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap.” Another New York City-based action group added that some bottled water is “really just tap water in a bot
15、tlesometimes cleaner, sometimes not.”It is not tested that bottled water is better than tap water. Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said, “The high mineral content(矿物质含量) of some bottled water makes it not good for feeding babies and young children.” A
16、lso, most bottled water doesnt have fluoride(氟化物), which can make teeth stronger. Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water, and some say thats behind the recent rise in bad teeth.Storing is another problem.

One report said that if water and drink bottlers had used 10 percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles, they would have s
19、aved about 72 million gallons of gas.So, if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the earth, you can take the following four steps:Step 1.Drink from your tap. Unless your government warns against this, it should be fine. Step 2.Get a container(容器). Carry your tap water in a steel or a
20、 lined drinking container, and clean it before using.Step 3.Keep it cool. Dont drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun, dont store it near chemicals, and dont reuse plastic bottles. Step 4.Choose glass containers over plastic if possible. When finished, recycle! 5.What can we learn abou
