[1]Jennifer Jones, 15, told friends in her class that she was feeling unwell.She then passed out③ in her morning PE lesson and was rushed④ to hospital. [2]Jennifer was found to have dangerously⑤ low blood sugar⑥ levels and was treated immediately⑦.Her worried parents told the doctor that their daughter missed breakfast that day and hardly touched her dinner the night before.Fortunately, she is now out of danger⑧.[3]Her doctor says that she will make a full recovery⑨ in a day or two. [2]本句是简单句。句中Jennifer was found to have dangerously low blood sugar levels为find sb do sth结构的被动语态，在被动语态中，需加上不定式符号to。 [3]本句是主从复合句。that引导宾语从句，“in＋时间段”与一般将来时连用。 Jennifer's classmates hope to see her back at school soon.They say that she has struggled with eating problems for a long time.“Jennifer thought that skipping meals would be a simple way to reach her target weight，” her friend Laura Williams told our reporter.“She has not eaten breakfast for the last few months⑩ .[4]She told me she had trouble concentrating⑪ in class.I warned her that skipping meals was unhealthy, but she wouldn't listen.” [4]本句是主从复合句。she had trouble concentrating in class是省略了that的宾语从句。have trouble (in) doing sth做某事有困难。 Jennifer's case is a reminder⑫ of the dangers of the unhealthy weight­loss habits that have become common among teenagers of both sexes.[5]In a society where being thin is often seen as being beautiful, teenagers sometimes turn to extreme⑬ methods to slim down⑭ quickly.According to a recent survey of senior high school students' lifestyles, [6]almost one fifth of teenagers regularly skip meals, one in ten over­exercise and four percent even take weight­loss medicine⑮ .Health experts are concerned⑯ about these figures.They are increasing their efforts to educate teenagers about the side effects⑰of losing weight too quickly.They have also warned them against using such extreme methods. [5]本句是主从复合句。where引导定语从句，修饰先行词society。being thin为动名词短语作定语从句中的主语。 [6]“分数＋of＋名词/代词”作主语时，谓语动词的单复数与 of 后的名词或代词的数一致。 “These so­called ‘quick­fix methods’⑱ prove⑲ to be harmful to⑳ teenagers.[7]It is normal for teenagers to be slightlyB21 overweight and there is no reason why they should be worried.However, for those who are dangerously overweight, it is very important that they try to lose weight properly，” said an expert. [7]本句为and连接的并列句。第一个分句中It作形式主语，不定式to be slightly overweight作真正的主语。第二个分句是there be句式，句中why引导的定语从句，修饰先行词reason。 She pointed out that it is important to have a healthy balanced diet since teenagers are still growing and their bodies need a lot of nutrition to function well.If they do not take in enough food, they may feel weak and get ill easily.She added，“What's more, they should keep regular hoursB23 and get plenty of exercise to stay energeticB24 and fit.[8]We strongly encourage all teenagers to follow these lifestyle tips, because living well is the safest and most effective way to get into shapeB25.” [8]本句是主从复合句。because引导原因状语从句；从句中动名词短语living well作主语，不定式短语to get into shape用作后置定语，修饰the safest and most effective way。 ◎ ①faint/feɪnt/vi.昏厥 adj.昏眩的；微弱的；可能性不大的 ②skip/skɪp/vt.不做(应做的事情等)；跳过 vi.蹦蹦跳跳地走；略过 skip meals 不吃饭 ③pass out 昏迷，失去知觉 ④rush/rʌʃ/vt.快速运送 vi.冲，奔跑 ⑤dangerously/'deɪndʒərəsli/adv.危险地 dangerous adj.危险的 danger n.危险 ⑥low blood sugar 低血糖 ⑦immediately/ɪ'miːdiətli/adv.立即，马上 conj.一……就 immediate adj.立即的，马上 ⑧out of danger 脱离危险 in danger 处于危险当中 ⑨make a full recovery 完全康复 ⑩for the last few months 在过去的几个月里 “for/in/over/during the last/past＋时间段”常与现在完成时连用 ⑪concentrate/'kɒnsntreɪt/vi.& vt.集中(注意力、思想等)；全神贯注 concentrate on 集中于，专注于 ⑫reminder/rɪ'maɪndə(r)/n.提醒人的事物；通知单 ⑬extreme/ɪk'striːm/adj.极端的；严重的 n.极端不同的感情(或境况、行为方式等) extremely adv.极其，非常 extreme methods 极端的方法 go to extremes 走极端 ⑭slim down 变苗条，减肥 ⑮weight­loss medicine 减肥药 ⑯concerned/kən'sɜːnd/adj.担心的，忧虑的；关注的，关切的 be concerned about...对……担忧 concern n.& vt.关心，担心 ⑰effect/ɪ'fekt/n.效果，作用；影响 side effect 副作用 effective adj.有效的；生效的 effectively adv.有效地 ⑱so­called “quick­fix methods”所谓的“速效法” ⑲prove/pruːv/vt.证明，证实 linking vt.后来被发现是 prove (to be)＋adj.证明是…… ⑳be harmful to...＝do harm to...对……有害 slightly/'slaɪtli/adv.稍微，略微 slight adj.轻微的；细小的 function/'fʌkʃn/vi.起作用；正常工作；运转 n.作用，功能；职能 keep regular hours 作息有规律 energetic/ˌenə'dʒetɪk/adj.精力充沛的，充满活力的 get into shape 强身健体 ◎ 青少年不吃饭后昏倒 斯通彻斯特——昨天，斯通彻斯特高中一名十几岁的女孩因多次没有吃饭而昏倒了。 15岁的珍妮弗·琼斯告诉她班上的朋友说她感觉不舒服。然后她在早上的体育课上晕倒了，被迅速送往医院。 珍妮弗被检测出严重低血糖，并立即接受了治疗。她的父母忧心忡忡，告诉医生他们的女儿那天没吃早饭，前一天晚上也几乎没吃晚餐。幸运的是，她现在脱离了危险。她的医生说她会在一两天内完全康复。 珍妮弗的同学希望很快能见到她回到学校。他们说她长期以来一直在与饮食问题作斗争。“珍妮弗认为不吃饭会是达到她目标体重的一个简单方法，”她的朋友劳拉·威廉姆斯告诉我们的记者。“她最近几个月都没有吃早饭。她告诉我她在课堂上难以集中注意力。我劝告她不吃饭是不健康的，但她不听。” 珍妮弗的例子提醒人们，青少年男女中普遍存在的不健康的减肥习惯具有危险性。在一个往往以瘦为美的社会里，青少年有时会借助极端的方法来快速减肥。根据最近一项对高中生生活方式的调查，近五分之一的青少年经常不吃饭，十分之一的人过度运动，百分之四的人甚至吃减肥药来减肥。健康专家对这些数字表示担忧。他们正在加大力度，教导青少年，让他们了解减肥过快的副作用，并警告青少年不要使用这些极端的方法。 “这些所谓的‘速效法’被证明对青少年有害。青少年轻微超重是正常的，没有理由担心。然而，对于那些严重超重的人来说，努力正确地减肥是非常重要的，”一位专家说。 她指出健康均衡的饮食是很重要的，因为青少年还在长身体，身体需要大量的营养才能很好地运转。如果他们没有摄入足够的食物，他们可能会感到虚弱，并很容易生病。 她补充道：“更重要的是，他们应该作息规律，多做运动，以保持精力充沛、身体健康。我们强烈鼓励所有青少年遵循这些生活方式，因为健康生活是强身健体的最安全和最有效的方法。” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
