talk to your kids about their eating habits carefully
weight is never an easy subject. it can be risky for parents to raise the issue of eating habits and weight with their kids.
“no kid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat,” a friend told me when i was worried about my sons weight.
it turns out she was right, according to a new study. the study was directed by dr. berge at university of minnesota.?she found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were less likely to have eating problems. but 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned to unhealthy eating behaviors. some kids went on extreme diets, and others even ate no food.?so eating disorders were caused. things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughters and focused on weight. “fathers should never comment on their daughters weight,” says berge. instead, she suggests,?fathers should focus on their daughters interests.?that can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.
how should parents talk to kids about eating behaviors? according to berge, they should avoid focusing on how much their kids weigh.?they should talk to them about being healthy.?dons not possible, choose the parent whose words cause the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating.

plagiarism (剽窃）
①you just found some good stuff on the web for your science report. you copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. then you continue your research. but you just made a big mistake.?you committed plagiarism. plagiarism is when you use someone else s words or ideas and pretend that they are yours.?its not allowed in school, college, or beyond.
②the word “plagiarism” comes from latin. it means stealing a persons ideas.?but its not always easy to tell what is plagiarism and what is not.sometimes, its accidental.?you really intended to do your own work, yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something youve read.
③though plagiarism can be accidental, its sometimes done on purpose.?thats just being lazy.?by copying whole paragraphs from different places, you dont have to spend the time thinking about the subject, gathering your own thoughts about it, and then putting them into original words. cut, paste, and youre done.
④ most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism.?if youre caught, your graduation will be delayed or worse.?at the very least, youre kicked out of one college, it can be hard to get into another.
⑤?to be on the safe side, always make it clear where the information comes from.?you need to write references. thatll need to know the author, the title, and the date it was published.?if you write something really great, maybe some day someone will quote you in a report.
