A new study found that inner-city kids living in neighborhoods with more green space gained about 13% less weight over a two-year period than kids living amid more concrete and fewer trees. Such 【C1】______ tell a powerful story. The obesity epidemic began in the 1980s, and many people 【C2】______ it to increased portion sizes and inactivity, but that can’t be everything. Fast foods and TVs have been 【C3】______ us for a long time. "Most experts agree that the changes were 【C4】______ to something in the environment," says social epidemiologist Thomas Glass of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. That something could be a 【C5】______ of the green.
The new research, 【C6】______ in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, isn’t the first to associate greenery with better health, but it does get us closer 【C7】______ identifying what works and why. At its most straightforward, a green neighborhood 【C8】_____ means more places for kids to play—which is 【C9】______ since time spent outdoors is one of the strongest correlates of children’s activity levels. But green space is good for the mind 【C10】______ ;research by environmental psychologists has shown that it has cognitive 【C11】______ for children with attention-deficit disorder. In one study, just reading 【C12】______ in a green setting improved kids’ symptoms.
【C13】______ to grassy areas has also been linked to 【C14】______ stress and a lower body mass index (体重指数) among adults. And an 【C15】______ of 3,000 Tokyo residents associated walkable green spaces with greater longevity (长寿) among senior citizens.
Glass cautions that most studies don’t 【C16】______ prove a causal link between greenness and health, but they’re nonetheless helping spur action. In September the U. S. House of Representatives 【C17】______ the delightfully named No Child Left Inside Act to encourage public initiatives aimed at exposing kids to the outdoors.
Finding green space is not 【C18】______ easy, and you may have to work a bit to get your family a little grass and trees. If you live in a suburb or a city with good parks, take 【C19】______ of what’s there. Your children in particular will love it—and their bodies and minds will be 【20】______ to you.

D
解析
词语辨析题。此句承接上文指出仅仅是在绿色户外阅读就可以改善患有注意力缺乏症儿童的症状。reading outside表示在户外阅读,符合句意。outward,往外的、外表的;apart,分开的;aside,在旁边,都不合句意。
