3.BEIJING—Family planning fficers will handle the illegal birth case f film directr Zhang Yimu by fllwing legal prcedures, a gvernment spkesman said n Tuesday, December 10, 2013.
When asked t cmment n Zhang’s case at a press cnference, Ya Hngwen, spkesman fr the Natinal Health and Family Planning Cmmissin(NHFPC), said “Every citizen is equal befre the law and nbdy is allwed t have privileges（特权）t give birth t mre children than allwed.”
Ya’s cmment came after media stries claimed that Zhang had remarried and fathered a ttal f seven children: ne with his frmer wife, three with his present wife, Chen Ting, and anther three frm tw lvers.
“The NHFPC’s attitude twards citizens’ birth vilatins（违法）is cnsistent and clear…Every Chinese citizen shuld bey and safeguard the seriusness f laws and regulatins.” NHFPC spkesman Ya Hngwen said.
China’s family planning plicy, intrduced in the late 1970s t slw dwn the cuntry’s grwing ppulatin, limits mst urban cuples t ne child and mst rural cuples t tw. The plicy was recently relaxed, allwing cuples t have tw children if ne f them is an nly child.
Thse wh break the plicy face severe fines. The amunt f the fine is generally several times the yearly annual incme f the tw spuses（配偶）. Sme media calculatins put the fine that Zhang may face at as much as 160 millin yuan(ver $26 millin).
Zhang’s birth case has caused criticism nline abut famus peple wh have mre children than the plicy allws.
In an pen letter n December 1, Zhang admitted that the cuple has tw sns and daughter and they are willing t accept investigatin and punishment accrding t China’s laws and regulatins. He aplgized t the public.
Hwever, the letter denied that Zhang had lvers and was father t as many as seven children frm varius mthers.

4.With the develpment f sciety, the chice f fd and drinks fr children is mre diversified than ever befre. Hwever, every cin has tw sides. Many facts suggest that children are verweight and the situatin is getting wrse, accrding t the statistics. I feel there are a number f reasns fr this.
Sme peple blame the fact that we are surrunded by shps selling unhealthy, fatty fds, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at lw prices. This has turned ut a whle generatin f grwn-ups wh seldm ck a meal fr themselves. If there were fewer f these restaurants then prbably children wuld buy less take-away fd.
There is anther argument that blames parents fr allwing their children t becme verweight. I agree t this, because gd eating habits begin early in life, lng befre children start t visit fast fd shps. If children are given fried chicken and chclate rather than healthy fd, r are always allwed t chse what they eat, they will g fr sweet and salty fds every time, and this will carry n thrughut their lives.
There is a third reasn fr this situatin. Children these days take very little exercise. They d nt walk t schl. When they get hme, they sit in frnt f the televisin r their cmputers. Nt nly is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it als gives them time t eat mre unhealthy fd. What they need is t g utside and play active games r sprts.
The abve are the main reasns fr this prblem, and therefre we have t encurage yung peple t be mre active, as well as guiding them away frm fast fd shps and bad eating habits.
50. What is suggested by the authr t deal with “verweight”?
