Too many kids are so【C2】______overweight—even too uncomfortable as they【C3】______into their little desks at school.
    We shouldn’t underestimate the【C4】______of obesity during the teen years. It is, 【C5】______all, during this time when the development of personal【C6】______and self-worth is in its most critical【C7】______, and overweight adolescents often find it difficult to adjust in a world【C8】______with " thin". Teachers and school psychologists are【C9】______with a plague of shame and distress among children whose size【C10】______them to hazing(被欺辱)and other cruelties by their classmates.

Medical researchers are pointing a(an) 【C14】______finger at TV because too many kids are becoming " couch potatoes ", spending endless hours in front of the tube,【C15】______themselves with high calorie snacks.【C16】______any nutritionist can prove, controlling food intake(摄入量)is only half of the battle in keeping【C17】______.

【C1】
选项 A、alarming
B、amazing
C、striking
D、boring
答案A
解析 形容词辨义题。根据后一句提到的“数百万的美国儿童也面临这种情况”，此处意为“但更令人担忧的是”，所以alarming“使人惊恐的，令人忧虑的，让人担心的”符合题意。amazing“令人惊异的”；striking“突出的，惊人的”，侧重能给观察者产生强烈而深刻的印象；boring“无聊的，令人厌烦的”，这三个形容词均不符合文意，故排除。
