Talk to Your Kids about Their Eating Habits Carefully

habits and weight with their kids.

’s weight.
” a friend told me when

at University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were les. s likely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned to unhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets, and others even ate no food. So eating disorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughters and focused on weight. daughtersweight,’
“Fathers should never comment on their
” says Berge.Instead, she suggests, fathers should focus on their daughters'
interests. That can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.
How should parents talk to kids about. eating behaviors? According to Berge, they should avoid focusing on how much their kids weigh. They should talk to them about being healthy.

Plagiarism（剽窃）
①You just found some good .stuff on the Web for your science report. You copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. Then you continue your research. But you just made a big mistake. You committed plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else' s words or ideas and pretend that they are yours. It' s not allowed in school, college, or beyond.
②The word\always easy to tell what is plagiarism and what is not. Sometimes, it's accidental. You really intended to do your own work, yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something you’ve read.
③Though plagiarism can be accidental, it's sometimes done on purpose. That' s just being lazy. By copying whole paragraphs from different places, you don't have to spend the time thinking about the subject, gathering your own thoughts about it, and then putting them into original words. Cut, paste, and you’re done.
④Most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism, If you
’re caught, your graduation will be
delayed or worse. At the very least,
you’re probably going to fail the assignment. When you
older and in college, some schools will kick out students who plagiarize. When youof one college, it can be hard to get into another.
⑤To be on the safe side, always make it clear where the information comes from. You need to write references. That
’s a list of the sources you used for a project or report. To do that,you’re
need to know the author, the title, and the date it was published. If you write something really great, maybe some day someone will quote you in a report. Task 1
16. Paragraph①: A. Purposeful plagiarism 17. Paragraph②: B. The cost of plagiarism 1 8. Paragraph③: C. The definition of plagiarism 19. Paragraph④: D. Accidental plagiarism 20. Paragraph⑤:
