28、ibling with the developmental disorder, the 37 risk of autism was nearly 19%, 38 higher than previous sibling-recurrence estimates that were anywhere from 3% to 10%. Kids with more than one older autistic sibling had an even higher risk of the disorder: 32%The 39 suggest that genes play a key role i

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.School LunchA) Ryan moved silently through the lunch line. The cook put a cheeseburger (奶酪汉堡) and an applesauce cup on his t
33、ray. He grabbed a bottle of milk from the cooler at the end of the line and found a seat in the cafeteria(食堂). Ryan saw that his friend Tyler had brought lunch from home. What did you bring today, Tyler? he asked. Tyler pulled his meal out of its brown paper sack. Ive got a ham sandwich, chips, two
34、cupcakes, and a can of soda. Ryans mouth started to water. Uh, Tyler, he said. If you dont want one of those cupcakes, Ill take it. They sure look good. Tyler handed Ryan his cupcake. Sure, he said. I wont eat all this. Lunch Requirements B)Is Ryan eating a healthy meal if he eats the school lunch?
35、School lunch supporters say Yes. Recent studies show that a government-approved school lunch has more variety and is more nutritious (有营养的) than most lunches brought from home. Its also lower in fat.C)The National School Lunch Act requires that school lunches go along with the Dietary Guidelines for
36、 Americans developed by the government. Meals must contain a variety of foods with plenty of grains and at least one fruit or vegetables each day. Foods must not contain too much sugar or salt. A hot lunch can contain up to 30% fat, but not more than 10% of its calories (卡路里) should come from satura
37、ted (饱和的) fat. In an average week, you should get one-third of the daily Recommended Dietary Allowances for protein, iron, calcium (钙) , and vitamins A and C from your school lunch.Dare to CompareD)Lets compare Ryans and Tylers meals to see which is healthier. Ryans hot lunch (without the cupcake fr
38、om his friend) has 577 calories, 25 grams of total fat, and 12 grams of saturated fat. He had one serving of fruit, 26 grams of protein, and 483 milligrams of calcium. Ryan ate more total fat (39%) and saturated fat (19%) than the dietary guidelines recommend. However, schools can still meet the gui
39、delines by having the numbers average out over a week of lunches. Tylers lunch from home ( this includes both cupcakes) had l,014 calories, 45 grams (40% ) of total fat, and 10 grams (9%) of saturated fat. He ate 21 grams of protein and 155 milligrams of calcium, but no fruits or vegetables. Tylers
40、meal met the saturated fat guidelines, but had too much total fat. Tyler ate more calories and total fat than Ryan did, Ryan ate more protein, calcium, and fruit than Tyler did. Which meal would you say is the healthier choice?A la Carte OptionsE)Federal standards and most school districts forbid se
41、lling food in the cafeteria that competes with the school lunch. Many programs do, however, offer a la carte choices for students who dont want the hot meal. Foods sold a la carte are separate from the main meal and are priced individually. These foods do not have to meet the same nutritional standa
42、rds as the foods on the hot lunch menu. Neither do the foods sold at a snack-bar or those foods available elsewhere in the school.F)A study in one Texas school district compared the lunches of fourth graders who did not have food choices with those of fifth graders who could choose either a standard
43、 lunch or select from a snack- bar. The fourth graders ate 25% more fruits and vegetables than the fifth graders.G)Food sold as fund-raisers can also have an impact on school lunch. The money raised is important to provide needed funds for many after-class activities. But the meals overall nutrition
44、al quality usually goes down. Many of these foods are high in fat, sugar, or both, and often come in extra 1arge portions. Fund-raisers rarely sell fruits and vegetables.Choosing WiselyH)School food-service programs are trying to please students, and still offer quality, nutritious meals at low cost. That task isnt easy. One school district in New York decided to do something about it. A student advisory board kept the food-service director up-to-date on what the kids wanted. They also worked with school snack-bars to
