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 lazy that 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 astonishing.
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
(very fat) 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 inactive 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 cause 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. Watching TV.
C. Doing Internet shopping.
D. Being lazy.
B. Internet shopping will do harm to your health.
C. Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain.
D. People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit.
B. People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit.
C. Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
D. More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40 years ago.
B. serious
C. vital
D. hard
B. Birmingham
C. Nuffield
D. Southampton

year running that the UK suffered from a wet summer, which has never happened before in modem rainfall
records dating back to 1914.
This summer was only slightly wetter than usual, though-the UK had 248. 5 mm (9. 78 inches) summer
rainfall, 10 percent above average, according to Met Office figures.
The rainfall average over the whole country showed an interesting weather picture, though. The rain
tended to come down in big showers, setting off flash floods. As a result, East Anglia in eastern UK had its
third wettest August with more than double the normal rainfall, and the South East had one of its dullest
Augusts, with only two-thirds its usual sunshine. And yet both these areas had been dry and sunny for the
previous five months and seemed to be heading for long-lasting drought (干旱).
Western and northwestern areas had the complete opposite, though-extremely wet in July, followed by a
dry August. Remarkably, the North West had suffered from such long-lasting drought that it led to bans on
using hosepipes (软水管).
Although some weather companies predicted an extremely hot barbecue summer, it was only 0.6℃ above
average across the UK. Even so, for the first half of this summer Glastonbury enjoyed a mud-free festival and
Wimbledon remained hot and dry. It may not have broken any temperature records, but there were plenty of
barbecues this summer.
B. western UK
C. northwestern UK
D. Wimbledon
B. The wettest August of the third year running.
C. The extremely hot weather with too much rainfall.
D. The continuous five months of dry and sunny weather.
B. Some weather companies did not give an accurate forecast.
C. The temperature this summer was much higher than average.
D. The extreme hot weather this summer led to fewer barbecues.
More and more research is proving that this isn"t all in our mind. Some foods really do lead to a change
in our moods (心情).
Carbohydrate (碳水化合物) that calm
This is how some people medicate themselves with food-by reaching for cookies or pasta (面食)
whenever they"re upset. Unfortunately, it doesn"t always work. You must eat a meal consisting of 100%
carbohydrate, on an empty stomach, to obtain the serotonin (血清素) increase so that you have a good
mood.
To get the wished-for effect, you must not eat anything for four hours and then eat at least 30 grams
of straight carbohydrate. Dry cereal (麦片), a piece of bread with jam, or a potato should do the trick.
Protein (蛋白质) for Power
Of course, sometimes we don"t need to be calm and sleepy. Sometimes we need a great deal of mental
concentration, so this is when it"s important to mix protein and carbohydrate. The protein will prevent the
tryptophan (色氨酸) from flooding your brain, and the rise in serotonin won"t occur.
Why dessert makes up Happy
Fat and sugar cause the brain to let go endorphins (内啡肽), which send pleasure signals throughout
the body. This would be fine, except humans are not particularly good at stopping at one cookie or cake.
You can also satisfy your sweet tooth by choosing fruit for dessert.
Timing your meals for energy
Blood sugar drops after four hours of going without food, causing a decrease in energy. Eating usually
fixes this within 20 to 30 minutes, but don"t suppose that eating more will cause a faster increase in energy.
When you eat has as much of an effect on your mood as what you eat. If you regularly go for a long
period of time between meals, rethink your schedule and plan ahead.
B. intend to cheat someone
C. bring about the desired result
D. do something to amuse people
B. to make you feel energetic
C. to lead you to slowness
D. to increase serotonin in your brain
B. we humans tend to eat lots of cookies and cakes
C. the more we eat, the faster we will gain energy
D. what we eat is more important than when we eat
B. eating to make you calm
C. eating for more protein
D. eating to make us strong

cause the start of an ice age in about fifty years" time. This conclusion, reached by Dr S.I. Rassool and Dr S.
H. Schneider, of the united States Goddard space flight center, answers the apparently conflicting questions
of whether an increase in the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere will cause the earth to warm up or
increasing the aerosol content will cause it to cool down. The Americans have shown conclusively that the
aerosol question is dominant.
Two conservationists (环境保护主义者) have been the possibility that interfering with the environment
might lead to the planet"s becoming unbearably-hot or cold. One of these conservationists has now been laid,
because it seems that even an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to eight times its
present value will produce an increase in temperature of only 20℃, which would take place over several
thousand years. But the other problem, now seems larger than ever.
Aerosols are collections of small liquid or solid particles (微粒) disappeared in air or some other medium.
The particles are all so tiny that each is composed of only a few hundred atoms. Because of this they can float
in the air for a very long time. Perhaps the most commonly experienced aerosol is industrial smog of the kind
that used to be seen in London in the 1950s and is an even greater problem in Los Angeles today. These
collections of aerosols reflect the sun"s heat and thereby cause the earth to cool.
Within fifty years, if no steps are taken to curb the spread of aerosols in the atmosphere, a cooling of the
earth by as much as 3.5℃ seems unavoidable. If that lasts for only a few years it would start another ice age,
and because the growing ice caps at each pole would themselves reflect much of the sun"s radiation it would
probably continue to develop even if the aerosol layer were destroyed.

blood makes as it flows through the heart. It sounds sort of like the noise of flowing water. This sound is
called a murmur.
Just like kids, murmurs have grades. Grade l is the softest-sounding murmur, and Grade 6 is the loudest.
A murmur graded 4, 5, or 6 is so loud you can actually feel a rumbling from it under the skin if you put your
hand on the person"s chest.
Most murmurs don"t mean anything is wrong. Doctors may call these "innocent", "functional", or "normal"
murmurs.
One common type of normal murmur is Still"s murmur, named for the doctor who first described it. This
murmur is most often heard in healthy children aged 3 to 7.
A normal murmur can get louder when the blood flows faster through the heart, like when kids have a
fever or run around. That"s because an increase in body temperature or activity makes the heart pump more
blood. When your temperature goes down, the murmur may get quieter or even disappear.
It can be easier to hear heart murmurs in kids because they have less fat, muscle, and bone between the
murmur and the doctor"s stethoscope (听诊器). Many normal murmurs become harder to hear as children
grow older, and some eventually disappear.
Even though most murmurs do not mean anything is wrong, sometimes a heart problem can cause a
murmur. If your doctor thinks your heart murmur could be due to a heart problem, you will need to see a
pediatric cardiologist. This kind of doctor knows a lot about children"s hearts.
B. Heart murmurs.
C. Murmur types.
D. Murmur grades.
B. listened to some light music
C. played football for two hours
D. finished reading a storybook

C. doctors know what has led to low temperatures
D. a certain heart problem can cause a heart murmur
make our rivers fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like
to pretend the opposite, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly spread
throughout our world?
We know that even single exposure to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely
severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers and
others exposed to enough quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not happen. For the population as a
whole, we must pay more attention to the delayed effects of taking in small amounts of the pesticides that
unseeably pollute our world.
Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are increasing in
amount over long periods of time, and that the danger to the man may depend on the amount of the exposures
received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons people easily take no notice of the danger. It is human
nature to shake off what may seem to us a future disaster. "Men are naturally most impressed by diseases
which have obvious signs," says a wise physician, Dr. Rene Dubos, "yet some of their worst enemies slowly
come near them unnoticed."
B. Possibly man will escape the effects of environmental pollution.
C. Pesticide-caused pollution may also kill people.
D. Man acts as if he did not belong to nature.
B. the present is more important to them than the future
C. humans are able to bear small amounts of poisoning
D. the danger does not become seen clearly and immediately
B. Birds are less sensitive to pesticides than humans.
C. The effects of pesticides on humans do not last as long as on fish.
D. Taking in small amounts of pesticides will not cause serious results.
B. people fail to notice hidden dangers caused by pesticides
C. diseases with obvious signs are mostly easy to cure
D. attacks by hidden enemies are likely to be deadly
