     Researchers from the University of Newcastle are leading a worldfirst study which builds on earlier

unpublished research that children are most likely to be guided by their father's eating and exercise habits.

     The new study "Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids", led by Associate Professor Philip Morgan from the

designed to help fathers promote and demonstrate to their children positive behaviours related to physical

activity and healthy eating.

     "The earlier findings showed that children are more likely to follow the example set by their father than

their mother when it comes to eating and exercise, " said Morgan.

     Morgan saw striking results in a previous trial involving 165 overweight children.He found children

who lost the most weight had fathers who were engaged in the new eating and exercise plan.

     "We might think mothers are the main influence on children's diet and health, but the reality may be

different, " said Morgan. "The roles of fathers are changing.More families have two parents working and

more fathers are involved with food preparation and food shopping than in the past."

     "Fathers influence the food and physical activity habits in the home through their behaviours, attitudes

and approach to food and eating, and act as a role model to their children, " said Morgan.

     Researchers are inviting fathers who would like to reduce their weight to join the "Healthy Dads,

Healthy Kids" program.Participation involves attending eight sessions (讲习班) at the University of

Newcastle over six months where the men will receive information, have weightrelated measurements

recorded and complete questionnaires.

     Cooking healthy food with the kids and creating a backyard fitness circuit (循环训练场) are among

the assignments (课外作业) for fathers taking part in the study.

阅读下面文字,完成问题。

  ①萝卜花是一个女人雕的,用料是胡萝卜,她把它雕成一朵朵月季花的模样。花盛开,很喜人。

  ②女人在小城的一条巷子里摆地摊,卖小炒。一小罐煤气,一张简单的操作平台,木板做的,用来放锅碗盘碟,她的摊子就摆开了。她卖的小炒只三样:土豆丝炒牛肉,土豆丝炒鸡蛋,土豆丝炒猪肉。

  ③女人30岁左右,瘦,皮肤白皙,长头发用发卡别在脑后。惹眼的是她的衣着,整天沾着油锅的,应该很油腻才是,却不。她的衣服极干净,外面罩着白围裙。衣领那儿,露出里面的一点红,是红毛衣或红围巾。她过一会儿,就换一下围裙,换一下袖套,以保持整体衣着的干净。很让人惊奇且喜欢的是,她每卖一份小炒,就在装给你的方便盒里放上一朵雕刻的萝卜花。这样装在盒子里才好看,她说。        

  ④不知是因为女人的干净,还是她的萝卜花,一到吃饭时间,女人的摊子前总围满了人,五块钱一份的小炒,大家都很耐心地等待着。女人不停地翻铲,而后装在方便盒里,最后放上一朵萝卜花。整个过程,充满美感。于是,一朵一朵素雅的萝卜花,就开到了人家的饭桌上。

  ⑤我也去买女人的小炒。去的次数多了,渐渐知道了她的故事。

  ⑥女人原先有个很殷实的家。男人是搞建筑的,很有些钱,但不幸的是,在一次建筑中,男人从尚未完工的高楼上摔下来,被送进医院,医院当场就下了病危通知书,女人几乎倾尽所有,抢救男人,才捡回半条命——男人瘫痪了。

  ⑦生活的优裕不再。年幼的孩子、瘫痪的男人,女人得一肩扛一个。她考虑了许久,决心摆摊儿卖小炒。有人劝她,街上那么多家饭店,你卖小炒能卖得出去吗?女人想,也是。总得弄点和别人不一样的东西吧?于是她想到了雕刻萝卜花。当她静静地坐在桌旁雕刻时,她突然被自己手上的美镇住了,一根再普通不过的胡萝卜,在眨眼之间,竞能开出一小朵一小朵的花来。女人的心,一下予充满期望和向往。

  ⑧就这样,女人的小炒摊子摆开了,并且很快成为小城的一道风景。下班了赶不上做菜的人,都会互相招呼一声,去买一份萝卜花吧,就都晃到女人的摊前来了。

  ⑨一次,我开玩笑地问女人,攒了多少钱了?女人笑而不答。一小朵一小朵的萝卜花,很认真地开在她的手边。

  ⑩不多久,女人竞出人意料地盘下了一家酒店,用她积攒的钱。她负责配菜,把瘫痪的男人接到店里管账。女人依然衣着干净,在所有的菜肴里,依然喜欢放上一朵她雕刻的萝卜花。菜不但是吃的,也是用来看的呢,她说。她眼睛亮着,一旁的男人,气色也好,没有颓废的样子。

  女人的酒店,慢慢地出了名。提起萝卜花,大家都知道。

  生活,也许避免不了苦难,却从不会拒绝一朵萝卜花的盛开。(《小小说选刊》)
