　　According to the recent survey, only a quarter of American children walk or bike to school. Even pupils who live within a mile of school get there in a car. At a school in Atlanta, so many parents drive their children to school. The school has to give each car rider an ID number so they can find their own cars out of hundreds waiting in line.

　　Health officials are worried because the lack of exercise may worsen the country's growing problem of childhood obesity. The number of overweight teens has tripled (三倍) since 1980. At the same time, diabetes (糖尿病), once unheard of in children, is increasing greatly among them.

　　When asked their reasons for not sending their children to school on foot, parents agree that distance, traffic, weather and crime (犯罪) are their top concerns. The mother of a 10-year-old girl said that even though the trip was less than a mile, she was afraid to let her child walk to school.“You hear too many things about kids getting picked up,”she said.

　　Getting more children to walk or bike to school should be a national health goal, some health officials say. A goal has been set to get at least 50 percent of children who live less than a mile from school walking or cycling to school by 2010．

Bruno was a boy of eight. His father worked in a cinema and his mother worked in a shop. He lived not far from his school. He always walked there and walked home.

His mother became angry(生气的)and said, “Don’t play in the water on your way home from school!”

  On the next day Bruno came home with wet and dirty(脏的)clothes. His mother became even angrier. “I’ll tell your father if you come back wet again,” said his mother. “He’ll punish(惩罚)You, you know.”
