But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport.The US Department of Health and Human Services suggests that young people aged between 6 and 17 carry out at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, 7 hours a week. But researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for promoting good health in teenagers. However, they found that more than 14 hours appears to be detrimental to their health. To reach their findings, the researchers surveyed more than 1,245 teenagers aged between 16 and 20 from Switzerland.All participants were required to answer questions regarding height and weight, sports practice, sports injuries and well-being. Their well-being was assessed using the World Health Organization (WHO) Well-Being Index, which provides scores between 0 and 25. Of the participants, 50.4% were male with a mean age of 17.95 years. Almost 9% of these males were overweight. The overall well-being score for all participants was 17.The researchers divided sports participation into low (0-3.5 hours a week), average(3.6-10.5 hours), high (10.6-17.5 hours), and very high (more than 17.5 hours). The researchers found that participants in the low and very high activity groups were more than twice as likely to have well-being scores below 13, compared with participants who carried out around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but beyond 14 hours resulted in lower well-being scores.Commenting on their findings, the researchers say physical activity has been associated with positive emotional well-being, reduced sadness, anxiety and stress disorders, and improved self-esteem（自尊）in teenagers.The researchers note that their study stresses the importance for physicians caring for teenagers to check their level of sports practice and ask them about well-being. Teenagers probably need a supportive and closer follow-up of their health and well-being. The findings can inform guideline groups who produce recommendations on sports practice for teenagers.24.From the first paragraph we can conclude that _________.A. everything coin has two sidesB. teenagers negatively do sportsC. active sports does good to healthD. lack of exercise influences health25.

I know I have the strength to bear itI am originally from Nigeria. I came here when I was seven. Money was always tight. My parents gave me everything I needed, but there was no money for luxuries. I worked hard at school though and, with the help of professors, I got the best A-level grades in my classUnfortunately, though I had applied for "settled "British residential status ,the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application.

Where there is life, there is hopeDDonna Steeden is support services manager at Quantum, which runs 26 homes. Like many working in care, she was drawn to it because she wanted to make a difference. But what sets Steeden apart is that her career path began in the kitchen.Steeden began her career in a hospital kitchen as a trainee chef. She stayed there for 10years before becoming a relief chef at Quantum Care. Her responsibilities include catering, laundry and housekeeping services. Care catering is developing all the time. People have different needs and especially need special service in diet. This is the biggest change during these years. People need to know how to prepare that and provide a variety of options which still meet people ' s dietary and nutritional needs, she says.Chefs in care homes rely on different tools and techniques to create a meal that resembles a typical roast dinner, with the right texture （质地）for somebody who has difficulty swallowing. "We have to think outside the box — go through the menu of the day and then adapt that for all the specialist diets such as dairy-free, low-sodium or textured, but still have to provide the exact same meal. ” This is exactly what attracted Stuart Middleton to work as a chef in care. He said, Care catering is looked down upon, especially in the chef world. A lot of chefs think there is nothing you can do with a textured meal and it's not nice to look at. ”A new qualification due to launch in April, the Level 2 Award in professional cookery in health and social care — the first of its kind to focus on care catering — is expected to raise the fame of care chefs as well as create a direct path to the care kitchen.32.How is Steeden different from others working in care?A.
