Health experts have long worried about the increasing rate of obesity in kids. It’s an important concern: Being weight or obese during childhood can lead to serious problems normally seen in adults, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Poor diets and a lack of exercise are usually the causes. But would you ever have imagined there might be a connection between the bacteria that lived in your guts （內(nèi)臟）when you were a baby and the chance that you would become overweight?
Scientists in Finland recently found just such a link. In a recent study, they showed that overweight kids had different species of bacteria living in their guts.
You probably think of bacteria only as germs that can make you sick. While it’s true that some bacteria can make people ill, your body actually depends on some types of bacteria to help you digest food and extract nutrients from it. These “good” bacteria live in your guts, where they process the food you eat.
Human babies get these bacterial helpers from their moms. When a baby is born, some of the bacteria in the mother move into the baby’s body. Growing babies get additional “good” bacteria from the milk their mothers produce. And it turns out the bacteria might play an important role in regulating weight just six years later.
So how could these bacteria affect weight? The researchers still haven’t tested that question, but future tests might lead to an answer.
The “l(fā)ink” in Paragraph 2 refers to the relationship between _______.
A. bacteria and the chance of being overweight

Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
You have probably heard a lot about goal setting and time management. Usually, once the goal is set up, it requires a lot of time and effort to achieve it.
Sometimes playing goal detective makes it more fun to reach your goal. To figure out what your goals are is based on how you spend your time. It’s sort of like those psychological rofiles(心理剖析)you hear about in movies and on television, but this time you will do it by yourself. You will find out how you spend almost every minute of the day. Normally you probably don’t write down how you spend each of those minutes, but if you were a detective and watching yourself, you would be writing down everything you did and when you did it. So, writing down what you do is the first step to be your own goal detective.
Now that you know how you spend your time, the next step is to sort the time. Things like eating, sleeping, working and playing are t 
he most obvious, but you can come up with as many as you want. Since you are being a detective, you will want to ask lots of questions about your activities in each of these categories. Here you use basic who, what, when, where and how questions to fill in information. For example, “Who did I spend time with?” “Where did I spend the time?” are possible questions that you could ask yourself. When you have finished with the questions you ask, “Now WHY did I spend my time in that way?” The answer to this quwstion is the goal, or at least part of a set of goals that makes you spend your time in that way.
Whatever you find out about your daily activities, chances are that the exercise will be good for you. At the very least you will know what things you did in one day and why you did them.
