A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so idle they"d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain"s largest health charity. The results were surprising.
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents (回答者) with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it"s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (肥胖) before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: "People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and obviously their pets too.
"If we don"t start to take control of this problem, a whole ge
neration will become too unfit to perform even the most basic of tasks." And Scotland"s largest city,
Glasgow, was shamed as the laziest city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%. The results pose (对... 提出) serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

But Americans are a people on the wheel．Wherever you go， you will see cars．There are so many cars that there is a traffic jam here and there．Now， more and more Americans would not consider it a healthy way of life．In fact， many Americans are strongly against the advancement of the wheel．We should
encourage people to use less cars to save our environment and the energy．Everyone wants to reduce pollution．But the pollution problem is very serious．People drive cars and the waste gas from them causes air pollution．On the other hand， the need for energy increases every day， and some sources of energy are running out． Oil will last for no more than 40 years， while coal could last another 300 years．The way we’re heading is towards a world where people are going to go cold and hungry．Now in China many rich men live away from downtown．On holidays they go to some big cities and places of interest．Most of them use their own cars．But China is a country with a population of over 1．3 billion．So， if you have enough money in the future，what will you do?
小题1:According to the passage， most Chinese people go to school or work by_________．
| A．bike | B．bus | C．train | D．plane |
| A．bikes | B．cars | C．oil | D．coal |
| A．air pollution | B．traffic jams |
| C．waste of money | D．energy problems |
| A．Americans should give up their cars |
| B．the energy should be saved around the world |

There is always the fear that they might not live to grow up．Yet they realize that fighting cancer is the only way of beating it. So they fight．And sometimes, they win.It may take years．It certainly takes support from parents and doctors.
Unfortunately, many parents can"t deal with their child"s illness．And doctors, no matter how caring, have other patients to care for. At times like these, the Children"s Cancer Foundation can help. We are a group of Hong Kong doctors, nurses, psychologists, parents of children with cancer and concerned persons (有关人士).All of us are volunteers (offer one"s help without payment).We"re with the children every day, listening to, and encouraging them.
We also advise parents, educate the public and send doctors overseas to study new cancer treatments. Our funding (providing money) has brought better equipment to the wards (large rooms of a hospital), and paid for special flat
s where the children can recover.We want to do even more．But to do it, we need your help. It will be money well spent．One who looks at our past achievements should prove that．
To the children, your contribution （贡献）will also be a show of support.A sign that you"re behind them is just the sort of news that a six-year-old chlid with cancer needs to hear.
小题1:This passage is likely_________.
| A．a story | B．an advertisement |
| C．a report | D．diary |
| A．the people who work for the children with cancer are not paid. |

D．only psychologi sts and parents of children with cancer are willing to help the children with cancer |
| A．has set up many hospitals. |
| B．is made up of many volunteers including doctors, nurses, psychologists and so on. |
C．hasn’t done anything for the the  children with cancer. |

e about eight children, of whom about five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器) and convenience(方便) foods.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each them.
小题1:Women marrying at the end of the 19th century ________.
| A．would have fewer children than those today. |

| B．only about three of them could live for five years. |
| C．about eight children lived to be more than five years. |
| D．about eight children lived to be less than five years. |
| A．women today are not willing to run their home together with their husbands. |
| B．women today wouldn’t like to do any housework. |
| C．women today will return to work after they have their babies. |
| D．were unlikely to find jobs like the mothers before . |
| A．in the past most women often stay at home after leaving school |

Allen (not his real name) is driving north out of Virginia in the middle of the night，with stolen property in the back of his van.But Allen isn’t a criminal—in fact he normally would never dream of breaking the law.
The “property” he stole is a dog he calls Flash.Allen doesn’t particularly want Flash in fact，in a few hours he’ll drop him off at a stranger’s house and never see him again.“I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing，”he explains.“The owner was plainly neglecting (忽视) the dog，but the police wouldn’t do anything about it.”
For over a year，Flash had been tied to a tree in front of someone’s house.“He was sick and weak，”says Allen.“More than once I saw the owner kick him for no reason at all.”Allen had repeatedly tried to get the own
er to take better care of the animal，or to give it away to someone who would.Finally，he took matters into his own hands—in the dead of night，he took Flash off his chain and drove away with him.An hour later，Flash had a new license and he_was_treated_by_a_veterinarian_who_knew_better_than_to_ask_questions.
Pictures of the dog were put up on animal rescue websites，asking for someone to adopt the dog.A couple in New York offered to take the dog，and animal lovers in states along the way agreed to provide transportation.
Nobody can say for sure how many animals like Flash are “rescued” every year；receiving stolen property is a crime，so rescuers tend to stay in the shadows.But a growing number of empty collars are because of their work as more and more animals find their way to loving homes.
小题1:Why did Allen steal the dog?
| A．He liked the dog very much. |
| B．He wanted to stop the dog being treated badly. |
| C．He is a criminal who likes stealing dogs. |
| D．Someone ordered him to do that. |
| A．Finding a new owner for him. |
| B．In the dead of night，taking him off his chain and drove away with him. |
| C．Kicking him for no reason at all. |
| D．Asking the owner to treat the dog better or give it to someone else. |
| A．By putting advertisements on TV. |
| B．By asking the Animals Protection Association for help. |
| C．By asking for help on the Internet. |
| D．By putting up signs on the street. |
A．The veterinarian had treated many animals that were mistreat ed by their owners. |
| B．The veterinarian had once stolen some animals like Flash before. |
| C．The veterinarian was Allen’s friend. |
| D．The veterinarian was a learned man. |
Unfortunately，a number of students killed themselves．Others are after co
mfort in using drugs．Some do bad things with trouble-makers and turn to crime．Many of them have tried very hard 
at school but have failed in the exams and have disappointed their parents．Such students feel that they are less important and leave school before they have finished their study．It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way．Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers" work to help their children．To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to special school called juku-cram schools．These schools are open during the evening and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exams, they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the real world. It thus comes as a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior or high school population attend these cram schools．
Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students" hair to their clothes and things in their school bag．Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society．They regard the rules as being harmful to the development of each student．They believe that no sense of moral values is developed and that students are gi
ven neither guidance nor training in becoming good citizens．小题1:A lot of Japanese students are unhappy at school because
| A．they work very hard | B．they find they can"t do well at school |
| C．they feel unimportant | D．they are under too much pressure |
| A．kill themselves | B．seek comfort |
| C．disappoint their parents | D．make trouble |
| A．Students" Pressure |
| B．Students" Problems |
| C．The Negative Impact(影响) of Japanese Education |
| D．The Trouble in Japanese Schools |
| A．are taken good care of by the teachers | B．feel no pressure |
| C．are trained to pass exams | D．can learn a lot of useful things |
| A．there are strict rules | B．students feel safe |
| C．students can do anything | D．learning is not important |
