That is the result of a recent survey (17)Athe Chinese Association for Student Nutrition & Health Promotion(中國(guó)學(xué)生營(yíng)養(yǎng)和健康促進(jìn)協(xié)會(huì)),who last month issued a questionnaire among 1,500children in Beijing,Shanghai and Guangzhou.They(18)A 28percent didn't eat fruit every day and of those who did,one in seven did not eat enough.
Among students who didn't eat fruit every day,50percent said it was because they"didn't have time"and 40percent of those who didn't like fruit said it was because"my parents(19)C me to".

He says about 20percent of primary school students in Beijing and Guangzhou are overweight,while the figure is (21)B30percent in Shanghai.
Hu Xiaoqi,a nutrition expert with the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),believes a student should eat at least 150grams of fruit a day.Moreover,fruit juice is not an adequate substitute because the fruit (22)C contains more fiber and vitamins than juices,which are usually high in sugar and contain preservatives.
Hu says primary school students should be encouraged to eat one or two fruits every day.(23)Dmany students found they didn't have time to eat fruit before breakfast or in the evening,they should be encouraged to (24)Bfruit to school and eat it during class breaks.Finally,she suggests that parents encourage their children to eat fruit,instead of forcing them.
Ma Guansheng,deputy (25)Bof the CDC's Nutrition and Food Safety Institution(營(yíng)養(yǎng)和食品安全機(jī)構(gòu)),says:"6-12years old is a crucial time for physical development.Children at this age need an adequate and balanced nutritional supply to guarantee the normal growth of the body."

More and more,people use smart phone apps to play pranks on their friends on April Fools'Day.One smart phone app,Cat Facts,sends funny facts about cats to your friends'phones,every day.
