Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? Have you been doing internet 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 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.   

61．What causes children in the UK to be obese?  

A．Eating ready meal                              B．Watching TV

C．Doing Internet shopping                         D．Being lazy

62．What can be inferred from the passage?  

A．British people are too lazy to do anything.

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.

63．Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?  

A．One sixth of British people use remote control when watching TV.

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.

64．What does the underlined word rudimentary most probably mean?

A．basic               B．serious              C．vital                D．hard

65．All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK except ___________. 

A．Glasgow              B．Birmingham         C．Nuffield            D．Southampton

B

It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word "congratulations". I don't remember ever smiling so wide.

Then I looked at my financial (财政的) package. The cost of Dream School's tuition( 学费), room and board was　around. $40,000—an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren't as famous as my first choice.

In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn't sure what to do.

One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents' financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I’d planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.

At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful, activities on campus ( 校园 ) including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.

As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of to comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.

In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my "dream" university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.     

62. How did he author feel when he started to read the letter?

A. He was full of joy.                       B. He was lost in his dream.

C. He was worried about the money           D. He was uncertain which school to go.

63. We can learn from the passage that the parents were_______.

A. honest.        B. strict          C. supportive           D. decisive

64. In Paragraph 5, "offered me a full ride" can be replaced by "______".

A. would pay for transport to the school      

B. would show me around the campus

C. would offer free meals at all events       

D. would charge me nothing for tuition

65. What does the author mainly want to say?

A. Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit.

B. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.

C. You should try your best to attend your dream school.

D. Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.

Teenagers who drink alcohol are at higher risk of becoming victims of violence, a Cardiff University study has found.

A team from the School of Dentistry’ s Violence Research Group studied drinking habits in children aged 11 - 16 in England. They found not only a link between drink and violence but also that children who drank were more likely to be hit, even if they weren’t violent themselves.

The researchers are now calling for measures to prevent alcohol misuse to reduce injury risk. Current policy focuses on reducing aggression but this research shows that there should be equal effort to reduce victimization.

More than 4,000 children were surveyed at 13 schools at four local authorities in the North, the Midlands, London, and the South. The study found that 25% of 11-year-olds were drinking monthly and 3.6% daily, with 12.8% admitting to getting drunk 3 to 5 times a year. By the age of 16, 40% were drinking weekly and 6.2% were drinking every day. The research also showed 22.6% of 16-year-olds were getting drunk more than 21 times a year.

The study, which has just been published in the Journal of Adolescence, found a strong link between frequency of drinking and frequency of hitting other people.

However, children who reported drinking monthly were also three times more likely to be hit. Adolescents（青少年） who drank but didn’t get into fights were more likely to be hit than those who did fight.

Professor Jonathan Shepherd, who led the research, said a lot of previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders（惹事的人） rather than the victims. His team is calling for more prevention work from parents and teachers in the first two years of secondary school by taking advantage of the “teachable moment”，that is, immediately after a student has missed school because of drunkenness.

Previous work by Professor Jonathan Shepherd has shown drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of reduced physical co-ordination, poor decision-making in threatening situations and isolation while out late at night. He said, “This new study seems to be the first to show a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization. There now needs to be much more effort put into reducing alcohol misuse in order to reduce injury.”

61. The main idea of the passage is that teenagers who drink alcohol ________.

A. often offend other people

B. often become injured

C. are more likely to become victims of violence

D. are more likely to fight with others

62. The underlined word “aggression” in the third paragraph probably means “________”．

64. Drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of all the following EXCEPT ________.

A. reduced physical co-ordination          B. isolation while out late at night

C. a higher frequency of hitting other people

D. poor decision-making in threatening situations

65. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to Professor Shepherd’ s research?

A. The frequency of children getting drunk increases with age.

B. His previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders.

C. Some children missed school because of drunkenness.
