shopping rather than going to the stores? What can"t you be bothered to do?
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 startling.
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 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
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 evidently their pets too. "If we don"t start to take
control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of
tasks."
And Scotland"s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most indolent 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 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.
B. More than 333.
C. 654.
D. About 420.
B. Glasgow people feel ashamed because they don"t get enough exercise
C. British people are the laziest around the world
D. five sixths of the British children are healthy
B. By providing answers to questions.
C. By interviewing some experts.
D. By telling a story.
B. A study of British people"s lifestyles.
C. The health service in the UK.
D. The obesity problem in the UK.

significant role in the process of recovery from illness.
As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries (画廊) and into public places,
some of the country"s most gifted artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard
edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have
significant collections of modern art in corridors (走道), waiting areas and treatment rooms.
These recent initiatives(new plans) owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at
a Manchester Hospital in Northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in
modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.
A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000 visitors each week. What a better place
to hold regular exhibitions of art and paintings, in the outpatients waiting area of the Manchester Royal
Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain"s first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon
joined by a team of six young art school graduations.
The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms, the visitor experiences a full view of fresh
colors, playful images and restful courtyard.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expense when a patient is recovering from an
illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong
painkillers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.

D. The patients had no pain at all after the improvement of hospital environment.
Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the
weight that comes along with these delicious foods.
With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but
not to eat too much. You don"t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions
may be of some help to you.
Don"t miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast (宴会), have a small, low-fat snack. This may help
to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.
Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables.
A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full.
Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.
Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.
Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They don"t have fat content as cream and chocolate.
Don"t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20 minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess
calories.
B. bring you much trouble in your life
C. make you worried about your foods
D. make you hate delicious foods
B. not eat too much food in high fat
C. not accept invitations to feasts
D. turn away from delicious foods

Which statements sound like you?
● Group 1:
□ I like to make my plate look pretty before I dig in for the first bite.
□ I often help my parents make recipes.
□ I could win the first prize in the "World"s Slowest Eater" contest.
● Group 2:

If you answered mostly Group 1: You enjoy everything about food, from cooking it to enjoying it at
the table. Eating slowly is a good thing-it gives your brain time to know when you are full.
If you answered mostly Group 2: You can do lots of things at once. But if you eat while you"re
distracted (精神不集中), you won"t really enjoy your food and might eat more than you need. Instead of
snacking while you watch TV or do homework, look for other things to do with your hands.
If you answered mostly Group 3: You"re really busy. Try to make time for at least one sit-down meal
a day. When you"re on the go, don"t eat salty, high-fat foods just because they"re convenient. Pack healthy
snacks in small bags that you can eat on your way out the door.
B. whether you eat a balanced diet
C. what your eating style is
D. how to form a good eating habit
B. I love buying cookers.

something about climate change. And it"s not just for the good of the planet: Tuvalu could be covered by the
sea in less than 50 years if the planet gets much hotter.
Tuvalu has no industry, burns little petrol, and creates less carbon pollution than a small town in America.
However, this tiny place is on the front line of climate change. The increase in ocean temperatures and the
rising sea level -all resulted from a warming atmosphere-are making trouble for Tuvalu.
Sea level rise is the greatest problem. With an average elevation (高度) of 6 feet above sea level, Tuvalu
doesn"t have far to go. Tuvalu"s highest elevation is 4.6 meters-15 feet-but most of it is no more than a meter
above the sea. Several times each year the regular lunar cycle of tides (潮水), riding on the ever higher sea
level, brings the Pacific waters over onto roads and into neighborhoods. Sometimes a high tide can flood roads
and run across the whole land. You can never separate the sea from the land, so some natives warned visitors,
"You"d better not run after dark, for you may fall into the sea."
B. It has little petrol to burn.
C. It will sink into the sea in the near future.
D. The climate there has changed much.
B. Tuvalu doesn"t create much carbon pollution.
C. Most of Tuvalu is no more than a meter above the sea.
D. A small town in America is on the front line of climate change.
B. Tuvalu, an Island Nation
C. Flooded Tuvalu
D. Global Warming
It makes our health better to take morning exercises. The air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Early
rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easy to learn something by
heart.
Early rising makes people able to plan the work for the day. We can"t work well without a good plan. Just
as the plan for the year should be made in the spring, the plan for a day should be made in the morning. Early
rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and eat our breakfast. So
the popular saying says, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."
B. getting up
C. have breakfast
D. making a day"s plan
B. Because we are not busy in the morning.
C. Because air in the morning is very fresh.
D. Because we don"t need to prepare for breakfast.
B. a good reading
C. clean hands
D. a good plan
