Lee, executive director of the Global Obesity Prevention Center at Johns Hopkins University. “Our findings show that encouraging exercise and investing in physical activity when kids are young pays big dividends as they grow up.”The study, published in the journalHealth Affairs, suggests an even bigger advantage if every 8 to 11-year-old in the United States exercised 75 minutes over three times in a week. In that case, the researchers estimate(估计), $62.3 billion in medical costs over the course of their lifetimes could be avoided and 1.2 million fewer youths would be overweight. And the money would increase if not just current 8-to-11 year olds, but every future elementary school child joined their game.Exercise at least 25 minutes a day, three days a week, is a guideline developed for kids by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association. An overweight persons lifetime medical costs average $62,331. For the overweight person, these amounts are great.“Even a little increase in physical activity could cause billions of dollars in savings,” Lee says. He also says there are other benefits of physical activity that dont affect weight, such as improving bone density, improving mood, and building muscle. Lee says “We need to be adding physical education programs and not cutting them. We need to encourage kids to be active, to reduce screen time and get them running around again. Its important for their physical health and the nations financial(经济的) health.”13.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Getting kids to run would save money.B. Physical activity is important for kids.C. Physical education programs: adding or cutting?D. Overweight persons lifetime medical costs are increasing.14. Whats the underlined words meaning in paragraph3?A. pays much money B. pays little moneyC. plays an important partD. is a serious question15. What can we infer from the passage?A. The number of American kids from 8 to 11who take part in physical activity is increasing.B. Physical education programs should be cut to encourage the nations financial health.C. 25 minutes of physical activity three times a week may result in fewer overweight teenagers.D. Physical activity can only make kids feel better but cant help them develop healthy habits.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。All over the world, friends greet one another when they meet.
