Heat attack has long been considered a grownup problem, but a new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children. Eating too much salty food when you39。re young can lead to health problems later. Salt is made up of two elements: sodium and chlorine. Dietary guidelines remend that adults and kids aged 9 — 13 shouldn39。t consume more than about a teaspoon of salt daily. The average American eats twice this amount. This worries doctors because too much sodium results in the body producing more blood. To pump the extra blood, the heart has to work harder. This causes a rise in blood pressure a measurement of how stressed the heart is. High blood pressure often leads to heart disease. A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to bee a grownup with high blood pressure. Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity (肥胖). British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking fewer fizzy drinks makes kids less likely to gain weight, bee obese and develop high blood pressure. Salt can affect more than just your heart and weight. A recent study found that a growing number of kids in the US are suffering from kidney stones. This painful condition usually affects people aged over 40. Now, kids as young as five are getting it. Cutting down on salt can be hard, but you can retrain yourself to prefer less salty food. The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually. Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do. Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled versions. And go easy on the condiments (調(diào)味品). You might also want to start reading nutrition labels. You may be surprised to learn that there are 1,150 mg of sodium in a double cheeseburger, and over 2, 000 mg in many frozen meals.（1）What is the author39。s major concern? eat too much salty food. adults suffer from heart attack. consume too much salt. attack is now a youth problem.（2）What does the author refer to as the cause of childhood obesity? more salty food. of physical exercise. many sugary soft drinks. the same food as the adults.（3）What is another disease tending to be younger according to Paragraph 4? . stone. disease. attack.（4）What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? laws of health. to cut down on salt. diet. amount of salt we need.【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）B（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了鹽對心臟有影響的原因，以及人們在日常生活中保持低鹽的生活方式。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Heat attack has long been considered a grownup problem, but a new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children. Eating too much salty food when you39。re young can lead to health problems later. ”長期以來，心臟病被認(rèn)為是成年人的問題，但一項新的研究表明，鹽開始影響兒童。年輕時吃太多咸的食物會導(dǎo)致以后的健康問題；以及第三段中的“A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to bee a grownup with high blood pressure.”一個有高血壓的孩子更有可能成為一個有高血壓的成年人，可知，文章作者特別擔(dān)心孩子食用過咸的食物導(dǎo)致心臟病和高血壓。故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity (肥胖).
