2011-2012年上学期兴化市高一英语好题集：阅读理解Growing pains aren’t a dia. You probably won’t have to go the the doctor for them. But they can hurt. Usually they happen when kids are between the ages of 3 and
5 or 8 and 12. Doctors don’t believe that growing actually caus pain, but growing
pains stop when kids stop growing. By the teen years, most kids don’t get growing pains any more.
Kids get growing pains in their legs. Most of the time, they hurt in the front of
the thighs(the upper part of your legs), in the calves(the back part of your legs
below your knees), or behind the knees. Usually, both legs hurt.
Growing pains often start to ache right before bedtime. Sometimes you go to bed
without any pain, but you might wake up in the middle of the night with your legs
hurting. The best news about growing pains is that they go away by morning.
Growing pains don’t hurt around the bones or joints(the flexible parts that connect bones and let them
move)—only in the muscles. For this reason, some doctors believe that kids might get growing pains becau they’ve tired out their muscles. When you run, climb or jump a lot during the day, you might have aches and pains in your legs
at night.
Your parent can help you feel better by giving you an over-the –counter pain medicine like acetaminophen(退热净) or ibuprofen(布洛芬). Kids should not take aspirin becau it can cau a rare but rious illness called Reye syndrome(急性脑病综合症).
Here are three other things that might help you feel better: 1) placing a heating
pad on the spot where your legs hurt; 2) stretching your legs like you do in gym class;
3) having your parent massage your legs.
You might never feel any growing pains, but if you do, remember that before you
know it, you will outgrow them!

jarIf your child is a couch potato, you might consider buying a dog. That’s becau new rearch has determined that children from dog-owning families exerci more
than tho without dogs do.
The study’s results show that children with dogs spend an average of 325 minutes doing physical activity per day, 11 times more than tho without dogs. They were
found to take 360 more steps (4%) than others. Christopher Owen, nior lecturer
at St George’s, University of London, led the study. It looked at 2,065 children
aged nine to ten, of which 202 (about 10%) owned dogs. Activity monitors were ud to record the children’s daily movement levels over ven days.
Bad on the findings, Owen and his colleagues now believe dog ownership can encourage children to be more active. A pet dog in the hou may also help to combat rising childhood obesity(肥胖). But Owen a lso raid a good question. He said, “The fact of more active lifestyles of children from dog-owning families is really
interesting—is it that owning a dog makes you more active or that more active
families choo to have a dog? It’s a bit of a chicken-and-egg question. Long-term studies are needed to answer it, but it may be a bit of both.

a dog, and found that they do become more active afterwards. This study is new inthe river
showing that children who have a dog are more active, but, again, long-term studies are needed to e if the effect is en before and after owning a dog.”
Owen thinks further work is needed to determine how much of dog-owning children’s physical activity is actually undertaken with their pet.
