You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia's fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat. "They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volume of food, their calorie intake (卡路里摄入量) has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat," says Chwang. Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness, culture -namely Asians' hospitality (好客)-is a reason for the fatness of today's generation, according to Chwang. "Asian people love food," she says. "Eating and drinking are important social and family functions." In the past, however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money. In today's climate of wealth and remarkable consumption, 10-course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions. More than anyone else, children are on the receiving end of their parents' improved circumstances. "In the past, people had four or more children-now, they have one or two, so they tend to spoil them," says Chwang. "The easiest way is to give them 'quality food'. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their children look thin." When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says:"There is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they don't move, and eventually, they don't want to move because they're fat. Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. "What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke," says Chwang. |

Identify the thesis, reasons, and evidence in the following passage. Violence is never justified because it is a bad solution that leads to problems later. For example, in the short account “Use of Force” by William Carlos Williams, the narrator is a doctor trying to determine if a little girl has a life-threatening illness. She rudely refuses to cooperate with the narrator this makes him angry, and his rage gets the better of him. This results in him forcing her mouth open with a silver spoon she can check her throat, which leaves her bloody and furious at being violated. As this example shows, violence is a bad solution. Instead of letting his anger subside, the narrator violently violates the girl. Sure, he gets his diagnosis, but he could have made the diagnosis without resorting to violence. What’s more, he has made it unlikely she will trust a doctor in the future, which puts her health in danger.

Identify the thesis, reasons, and evidence in the following passage. People are less politically aware now than they have been at any time in the past. For hundreds of years, people took great personal risks to fight for causes that would benefit other people more than themselves. This rarely happens today. As late as the 1980s, there were frequent rallies with people in one country demonstrating to show solidarity with people elsewhere. Now, rallies are more likely to be for personal gain such as better salaries or student grants rather than for political issues of wider application. Even low risk activities such as voting in elections attract low turn-outs.
Read the following passage. Tell if it is reasoning or explaining. There were many reasons why the student was an hour late for the seminar. First of all, a pan caught fire, causing a minor disaster in his kitchen. It took twenty minutes to restore order. Then he couldn’t find his housekeys. That wasted another ten minutes of his time. Then, just as he closed the door behind him, the postwoman arrived, saying there was a parcel to be signed for. Her pen didn’t ’work which held them up further. Finally, of course, he had to find his keys, which had once more slipped to the bottom of his bag, in order to re-open the door and place the letter on the table.
A、reasoning
B、explaining
