[对应学生用书第69页] Nearly a million American youngsters, some as young as 6, rely on personal trainers to shape up, lose weight or improve in sports. Many parents say that working with a trainer motivates their kids and helps them build confidence. So they are willing to spend the $40 to $60 an hour that trainers generally charge. With many high school students not getting exercise at school, more parents are turning to trainers to help their children stay fit.More than one­third of American children are overweight and experts warn of future health problems ahead from diabetes to heart disease. Kathleen Ballew said that her 7­year­old son, Jordan Sims, who would begin second grade in the fall, could benefit from some one­on­one time with a fitness professional. She had noticed that he needed help with balance and coordination in soccer and karate. She also observed that he did not want to do things that kids normally did, like climbing on park equipment. After Jordan had begun working out at Baylor Tom Landry Fitness Center in Dallas with a trainer about a year before, he moved more naturally and confidently. His trainer, Lauren Jacobson, works with about half a dozen kids under 18. She said she noticed that training helped build confidence and a sense of accomplishment, along with helping kids get in better shape. 1．shape vt.塑造 2．motivate vt.激发 3．diabetes n．糖尿病 4．coordination n．协调能力 5．karate n．空手道 1．What can personal trainers help American youngsters to do? 答案　They can help them to shape up, have interest in sports and build confidence. 2．What does the author write about Jordan? 答案　Jordan needed help with balance and coordination in soccer and karate and he didn't do things that kids normally did． 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
