Massey University PhD student Jacinta Hawkins looked at the influence of TV programs on kids health knowledge, attitudes and behavior. She said programs which showed overweight people on TV is making children say “I dont want to grow up like that.” The research was part of Ms Hawkins paper on how schools improve health. She spoke to 92 children, ages from 7 to 13, from six Auckland primary schools to find out how they received information on nutrition and physical activity. Some said they learnt from TV news programs, but most of them mentioned reality shows such as Fat Chance, Honey Were Killing the Kids and Downsize Me. “ Earlier studies had looked at the effect junk-food advertising had on children,” Ms Hawkins said, “but messages within TV programs had not been explored. Children from the six schools largely recognized program content, rather than advertising, as a source of food and physical activity messages. They are learning habits of eating and exercise from TV programs. ” The children also recognized that their parents had a role to play in shaping health behavior. Talking about Honey Were Killing the Kids, which shows how people will look if they continue with good habits, children said they developed attitudes from their familys habits. MMs Hawkins said children remembered what they had seen and thought it was the parents duty to lead by example. 28. What did Hawkins find about reality TV show?A. It may teach kids much scientific knowledge. B. Some shows may have kids develop ill habits. C. Some shows may help kids eat more healthily.D. It may draw kids attention away from studies. 29. What method did Hawkins use to get her findings?A. Performing experiments. B. Doing interviews. C. Studying science reports. D. Comparing earlier studies. 30. How did most students get information on health?A. From health experts. B. From news reports. C. From television ads. D. From TV shows. 31. According to the children, which may have a great influence on their health behavior?A. School. B. Friends. C. Family. D. Scientific research.D Teacher burnout and student stress may be linked, according to a study of University of British Columbia. The study is the first of its kind to examine the connection between teacher burnout and students cortisol levels(皮质醇水平）, which are a biological indicator of stress. Researchers collected saliva(唾液）samples from over 400 elementary school children and tested their cortisol levels. They found that in classrooms in which teachers experienced more burnout, or feelings of emotional exhaustion, students cortisol levels went up. Higher cortisol levels in elementary school children have linked to learning difficulties as well as mental health problems. This suggests that stress spreading might be taking place in the classroom among students and their teachers, said Eva Oberle, the study s lead author. It is unknown what came first-raised cortisol or teacher burnout. We consider the connection between student and teacher stress a cyclical problem in the classroom. Oberle said a stressful classroom climate could be a result of inadequate support for teachers, which may influence teachers ability to effectively manage their students. A poorly managed classroom can lead to students needs not being met and increasing stress. This could be reflected in raised cortisol levels in students. Alternatively, stress could start from students, who may be more challenging to teach because of increases in anxiety, behavioral problems, or special needs. In this case, teachers could feel overwhelmed and report higher levels of burnout. Our study is a reminder of the systemic issues facing teachers and educators as class sizes increase and supports for teachers are cut, said Oberle. It is clear from a number of recent research studies that teaching is one of the most stressful professions, and that teachers need adequate resources and support in their jobs in order to battle burnout and get rid of stress in the classroom, said UBC education professor Kimberly Schonert-Reichl. If we do not support teachers, we risk the additional damage of students.32.
