Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?On the one hand，people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers，may snack more，and that may affect their long-term diet quality.On the other hand，TV ads for fast food，sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods.

She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day. Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（传单）, and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Anns son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old. Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent. “If it hadnt come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it. The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friends son.” Peter drove to Anns house to pick up his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window. After a few moments Peter said, “Maybe Odie was supposed to find you, maybe you should keep it.” 41. What did Tracy do after finding the dog? A. She looked for its owner B. She gave it to Ann as a gift. C. She sold it to the dollar store. D. She bought some food for it. 42. How did the dog help save Jack? A. By breaking the door for Ann. B. By leading Ann to Jacks room. C. By dragging Jack out of the room. D. By attending Jack when Ann was out. 43. What was Anns attitude to the dog according to Paragraph 4? A. Sympathetic B. Doubtful C. Tolerant D. Grateful 44. For what purpose did Peter call Tracy? A. To help her friends son. B. To interview Tracy C. To take back his dog. D. To return the flier to her. 45. What can we infer about the dog from the last paragraph? A. It would be given to Odie. B. It would be kept by Ann family. C. It would be returned to Peter. D. It would be taken away by Tracy. 【答案】ABDCB【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。一天，Tracy在当地学校附近捡到一只流浪狗，把它交代给邻居Ann照顾，自己去找狗的主人。Ann答应只照顾这只狗一天。结果在没找到狗主人之前Ann和她的两个儿子一直照顾这只狗而且很快喜欢上了它。Ann的大儿子有心脏病，多亏了这只狗帮Ann及时救了她儿子，所以当狗主人来认领狗时全家人都舍不得它走。最终，狗留在了Ann家里，成为家庭一员。B考查判断推理。根据最后一段Peter去Ann家里领回他的狗时看到的场景“saw Thomas and Jack crying”及他说说的话“Maybe you should keep it.”可以推断，狗最终是留着了Ann家里。故选B。考点：考查记叙文阅读
