问题     Even today, you might think many American children are in danger of becoming seriously undernourished. Millions of parents never leave home without a bag of snacks—candy, crackers or carrots, it really matters not.【C1】______
    And food is a popular pacifier, with treats offered to relieve physical or emotional pain. Little wonder that many youngsters refuse to eat what’s served for dinner.
    In counseling parents, sociologist and parent educator Ms. Rose has found that those with a " nutrition mind-set" pay undue attention to the nutrients in each meal rather than to their children’s overall eating pattern.
    【C2】______ Sweetened yogurt, which can contain as much sugar per ounce as soda is featured because they contain calcium; chicken nuggets get a pass for their protein content, and French fries—well they are vegetables after all.
    The other side of the coin can be just as damaging. Given modern concerns about sugar and fat, some health-conscious parents forbid their children to indulge in any treats, even at birthday parties.
    【C3】______I gave my young sons each two cookies and never brought the box to the table. They could eat a limited amount of granola but a complaint that " Mike gets to eat do-nuts as much as he wants," was answered with " Go live with Mike if you want to," which ended the discussion.
    Ms. Rose’s book has a telling subtitle—Three Habits to Teach Your Kids for a Lifetime of Healthy Eating.【C4】______
    Though Ms. Rose calls her three critical habits "proportion, variety and moderation," they are really about understanding and adapting to children’s natural aversion to strangeness and how tastes develop for foods initially disliked.
    When asked to taste an unfamiliar food, she suggests giving children only a small taste and then asking them about its characteristics: what it feels like, tastes like or reminds them of. Tastings may have to be repeated many times to foster acceptance, even for adults.
    "You can’t make kids eat, but you can influence their decision-making," Ms. Rose said in an interview.【C5】______She suggests starting with a "rotation" of foods a child already likes, as long as the same food in the same form is not eaten two days in a row.
    Portion size also matters a lot, especially when introducing a new food, Ms. Rose said. Children are often intimidated by too much food on a plate, even if it is a food they like.
    [A]She has used her experience to develop a systematic approach to introducing picky children to foods that are good for them.
    [B]She advocates a gradual introduction to variety in both the kinds of foods children are served and the way in which they are prepared.
    [C]Children today are continually nibbling, whether in a stroller, car, train or plane.
    [D]"The more parents focus on nutrition, the worse their kids tend to eat," she said.
    [E]Perhaps most damaging was the subliminal message my parents conveyed—a link between food and love that led to a 40-pound weight gain in my 20s when a big romance fizzled.
    [F]I know a neighborhood boy from such a restrictive household who used to keep a stash of candy and cookies his parents forbade in his friend’s bedroom.
    [G]My own approach to feeding my children was limitation, not deprivation.
【C4】
选项
答案A
解析 这一空紧接罗斯的书，而且两句在一段中，可知此处内容是对书的补充介绍。七个选项中只有[A]符合要求，故选[A]项。该项说的是，罗斯女士用她的经验研究出一个系统的方法，让挑食的孩子接受有益的食物。
