American children are still eating lots of fast food-and in spite of restaurants promises of healthy options, most kids are sticking with frie
9、s over salads. Some infamous chains like McDonalds and Wendys have promised to offer healthier options on their kids menus, but they arent all sticking it, according to a report from the Rudd Center.In fact, nearly all parents are buying their kids at least one fast food meal a week. Healthy fruits
10、and vegetables may be all the rage among adults, but busy parents still choose quick meals for themselves and their kids. It doesnt look like fast food is going away any time soon.Scientists at the Rudd Center surveyed about 800 parents in 2010, then again in 2013 and 2016. Things have not improved
11、much over the years. Of the vast majority of parents who had made a trip to McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys or Subway in the last week, 74% ordered an unhealthy side or drink. The older the children, the more likely their parents were to choose fries instead of a fruit, or a similar less healthy menu
12、 item. And about 35% of parents ordered regular adult menu items for their 2 to 11-year-old children, meaning these kids were often getting larger, less nutritious lunches and dinners.Even as they introduced options like fruit juices, low-fat milk and yogurt to their menus, some restaurants have als
13、o added desserts and other calorie-heavy options to their kids menu items. So despite whats now on offer, kids are getting equally or less nutritious meals, nowadays, which is mostly because fast food restaurants still promote their unhealthy options, and sides like fries are still allowed.“While mo
14、st fast-food restaurants do have healthier kids meal drinks and sides available, many do little to make parents aware of the healthier options or to encourage parents to choose the healthier options instead of unhealthy ones,” said lead study author Jennifer Harris. “If restaurants are serious about
15、 childrens health, they will make the healthiest choice and easiest for parents and the most appealing choice for children.”4What do the underlined words “all the rage” in Paragraph 2 mean?Apopular.

18、ica was in Dmanisi, Georgia. Here fossils of short people thought to be early Homo erectus date back to about 1.85 million yearsjust after the species appears in Africa. The oldest evidence of early human activity in China can date back to 1.5 million to 1.7 million years ago, which has suggested th
19、at they didnt leave Africa until 2 million years ago or soand made it to eastern Asia even later.Now evidence from the site of Shangchen in the Loess Plateau approximately 1,200 kilometers southwest of Beijing is shaking up that view. More than 2 million years ago, our ancestors were already world t
20、ravelers, which shows that the ancestors of modern humans left Africa at least 250,000 years earlier than thought. It also supports a minority view that a key human ancestors, Homo erectus, may have originated in Asia, not in Africa.The same team, led by geologist Zhao Yuzhu of the Guangzhou Institu
21、te of Geochemistry at the Chinese Academy of Science found that the stone tools range in age from 1.6 million to 2.1 millions years ago. This indicates humansthe family that includes humans and our ancestorsgot out of Africa at least a quarter of a million years earlier than thought, and occupied Sh
22、angchen on and off for more than 850,000 years, the team reports today in Nature.“The dates are convincing,” Zhao Yuezhu says, which suggest humans were already remarkably adaptable to the changeable climate by 2.1 millions agoeven though they had not yet developed the even bigger brains, long legs,
23、 or more advanced tools seen in later humans. Although the identity of these early travelers all over the world is unknown, the new dates raise the possibility that H. Erects werent the first humans to leave Africa.8Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?AThe early human activity in China.BThe e

27、irst complete study of this remote region shows that is glaciers (冰川) lost billions of tons of ice from 2000 to 2016.This is the first comprehensive look at whats happened to glaciers in the Himalaya over a 40-year time, said lead author Joshua Masurer.“Our study shows a strong signal of glacier ice
28、 loss linked to rising temperatures from climate change,” Maurer says. As much as quarter of the regions ice has been lost, he said, “Temperatures in the region have risen one degree, and one degree was indeed enough to produce such a great loss of glacier ice.”The signal showing Himalayan ice loss
29、linked to rising temperatures would not be so clear if it werent for the U. S satellites that photographed the region. Declassified photos from those satellites were turned into 3-D models to show what the glaciers elevations and sizes were in the 1970s, Maurer said. Those were then compared to more
30、 recent complex NASA satellite photos that shows changing elevations of the ice over time.The ice and snow in the region are the source for Asias great rivers. The study did not include the huge neighbouring ranges of high mountains, but other studies suggest that similar melting is under way there
31、as well.This melting means flooding and the creation of many glacial lakes. In May 2012, one such flood killed over 60 people in villages near Pokhara, Nepal; it also destroyed houses. Some 800 million people depend in part on rivers from Himalayan glaciers for irrigation, making electricity, and dr
32、inking water. The more rapid melting appears to increase the river water during warm seasons, but scientists say that will decrease within decades as the glaciers lose mass.12Why did the glaciers in the Himalayan Mountains lose much ice?AMany people used the ice to make electricity.BThe climate change increased the temperature.CAmerica used satellite to increase one degree Celsius.DThe flooding and many glacial l
