RALOALTO, California—“Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet or increa the amount they exerci,” US rearchers said last week.

弟子规正版全文“The findings are important becau they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television view and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robison, a pediatrician at Stanford University.
In the study, prented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies’ annual meeting in San Francisco, the rearchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one third.
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a pretty smaller increa in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their took part in any extra exerci.
“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said.
“Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robison said.

A new era(纪元) is upon us. Call it what you will: the rvice economy, the information age, the knowledge society. It all translates to be a basic change in the way we work. Already we are there now. The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen fortunately in the Western World. Today the major of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or more in many of the countries) are in the rvice industry, and the number in on the ri. More women are in the workforce than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are lf-employed. But the wildness of the economic change can’t be measured by numbers alone, becau it also is giving ri to a radical(根本的、彻底的信贷部) new way of thinking about the nature of work itlf. Long-held views about jobs and careers, the skills to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers—all the are being challenged.

We have only to look behind us to get some n of what may lie ahead. No one looking
ahead 20 years possible could have foreen the ways in which a single invention, the chip(芯片), would change our world thanks to its u in personal computers, digital biotechnology(数码生物技术), artificial (人工的) intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of unexpected changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more important ,and the people who have it , whether they work in manufacturing (幸运日制造业) or rvices, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to solve problems by using information instead of performing regular work will be valued above all el. If you look forward 10 years, information rvices will be predominant(占优势). It will be the way you do your job.
