A new study has found evidence of aggressive behavior in children who drink four or more servings of soft drinks every day. Information for the study came from the mothers of 3,000 5-year-olds. Researchers asked the women to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a two-month period. The women were also asked to complete a checklist of their children’s behavior. The researchers found that 43 percent of the boys and girls drank at least one daily serving of soda, 4 percent of the youngsters had four or more sodas to drink every day.
Shakira Suglia is with Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health in New York City. She worked on the study with researchers from the University of Vermont and Harvard University School of Public Health. She says they found that children who drank the most soda were more than two times as likely as those who drank no soda to show signs of aggression.
"For the children who consumed four or more soft drinks per day, we see an association between aggressive behaviors, attention problems and withdrawn behaviors."
The aggressive behaviors included destroying possessions belonging to others, taking part in fights and physically attacking people. Shakira Suglia says the researchers identified the link after they considered socio-demographic factors like the child’s age and sex. They also considered other possible influence, such as whether the boys and girls were eating sweets or given fruit drinks on a normal day. In addition, the researchers examined parenting styles and other social conditions that might be taking place in the home. Doctor Suglia says it’s not clear why young children who drink a lot of soda have behavior problems.
"We can’t prove that this is a direct cause and effect relationship, having said that, there are a lot of ingredients in soda, a lot of ingredients that have not been examined in relation to behavior."
A substance often found in soft drinks is caffeine, which helps to make people feel energized. Doctor Suglia suggests that caffeine could be causing the 5-year-olds to be more aggressive. The research is part of a large study called the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. It follows 5,000 poor mothers and their children in 20 American cities.
Earlier studies of young adults have found the highest sugar levels in those who carry weapons and show signs of negative social behaviors.
20. What did Shakira Sugha’s study find?
21. What did the researchers examine before they identify the link in the research?
22. What did earlier studies find in young adults?
选项
A、Boys and girls drink four sodas a day.
B、Soda increases the likelihood of aggression.
C、Sweets cause more attention problems.
D、Caffeine makes people feel energized.
答案
B
解析
学者Shakira Suglia说研究人员发现喝汽水最多的儿童比不喝汽水的儿童表现出攻击性的可能性要大一倍。因此B项“汽水增加攻击行为的可能性”为正确答案。录音中提到,研究者发现43%的男孩和女孩每天至少喝一次汽水,4%的青少年每天喝4瓶或以上的汽水,因此A项“男孩和女孩每天喝四瓶汽水”不正确。C项“甜食会导致更多的注意力问题”利用了录音后半部分关于研究员在得出结论之前考量的另一个因素“吃甜食”来设置干扰项。D项“咖啡因会使人们感到精力充沛”是咖啡因的特性,不是研究结果,故D项也不正确。
