37、ed with a toy thats extremely popular with children who love to collect them?A Happy Meal is a form of kids meal sold at a certain fast-food chain since 1979. A toy is included with the food, both of which are usually contained in a box or paper bag. However, collectors of these little toys will not
38、 get them any longer, since the company will replace toys with books, and each of these books will mainly pass on nutritional messages.Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids, especially for their collectable toys, when you consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year! The

42、the problem of childhood obesityin other words, the State of California tried to ban the toys in Happy Meals. However, it was strongly opposed by some as being heavy-handed, and the ban was thrown out by the government.While some people believe that the fast-food company, with its large following of
43、 children, can create a powerful message through the books, others believe its actions are contradictory.

46、y teach children a lot about nutrition. C. They do no actual good to childrens health.D. They are popular with the young and the old.DCyclingYou need only look at a professional cyclist to appreciate the potential effects of cycling on the body. But what about the mind? Its a question that has long
47、challenged anyone who has wondered how riding a bike can offer what feels close to a state of emptying your mind.Dr. John Ratey thinks cycling increases “the chemistry in your brain that makes you feel calm,” but also that carrying out multiple operations while cycling can be an effective treatment,
48、 as shown in a German study involving 115 children, half of whom did activities such as cycling that involved complex movements, while the rest performed more straightforward exercises with the same aerobic (有氧的) demands. Both groups did better than they previously had in concentration tests, but the “complex” group did a lot better.There have been other interesting findings too. In 2003, Dr. Jay Alberts rode a tandem bicycle, a bicycle built for two riders sitting one behind the other, across the American state of Ohio with a friend who has Parkinsons
