Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook? 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 idle（闲散的）they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

Just over 2,000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain’s largest health charity. The results were shocking. About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control (遥控器)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 questioned people 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 classifted 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， too. If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the simplest 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 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.

1. According to the researchers at Nuffield Health, about ________ people who were surveyed would not run to catch a bus.

A. 10            B. 150             C. 330              D. 660

2.One in six children in the UK are classified as obese before they start school because ________.

A. they stay too long a time with their pets   B. they spend too much time watching TV

C. their parents don’t play with them much   D. they suffer from obesity-related illnesses

3. ________ is the second laziest city in the UK.

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

4.What’s the writer trying to tell us?

A. Parents have much to do with their children’s obesity-related illnesses.

B. British people are getting lazier, which can cause serious social problems.

C. The National Health Service has to face a lot of serious challenges every year.

D. A study into how lazy British people are has been carried out at Nuffield Health.

Many people believe eating healthily is expensive and more costly than buying junk foods. But our new research, published in the BMC Pubic Health ,shows this isn’t the truth.

Less than 7% of Australians eat healthily. Most of the Australian family food budget is being spent on junk foods and drinks that are high in fat, sugar and salt. As a result, two-thirds of adults （63%）and one-quarter of children are overweight.

We used the Australian Health Survey 2016-2017 and the suggestions of the Australian Dietary Guidelines to model healthy diets for a family of two adults and two children every two weeks. We collected food prices in supermarkets and stores in high and low-socioeconomic（社会经济地位低的）areas in Brisbane, and compared the diet prices with family incomes.

In both areas, a family of two adults and two children spend about 18% more on present diets than would be required to buy healthy diets. About 58% of the food budget for present diets is spent on junk foods, including takeaway foods（14%）, and sugary drinks（4%）. In the low-socioeconomic area, a family of two adults and two children spend $640.20 every two weeks on their present diets, but could buy a healthy diet for $5560.93 every two weeks. In the high socioeconomic area, these numbers are S661.92 and $580.01.

Present diets cost more than healthy diets, so it is surely not the price that helps to drive preferences for unhealthy choices.

1.What did the researchers find?

A.Most Australians eat unhealthily.

B.Half Australians live on junk foods.

C.Most Australian kids have fat problems.

D.Australians have a preference for sweet foods.

2.How did the researchers get the result?

A.By doing the study online. B.By making a comparison.

C.By carrying out interviews. D.By asking personal questions.

3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A.A healthy diet is actually cheaper.

B.Australian foods are becoming healthier.

C.People choose junk foods for their low prices.

D.Healthy foods are becoming more expensive.

4.What might the following paragraph be about?

A.The harm of junk foods. B.How we can eat healthily.

C.Why people choose junk foods. D.The advantages of a healthy diet.

In the past, most people would just throw away their worn-out appliances (家用电器)，but due to the many environmental issues that this has caused over the years, it is highly suggested to consider recycling or other ways.

Donate Your Appliances to an Organization

The first thing that most people think about when they hear about donating is giving old things to a charity or an organization. However, you should ensure that your appliances still work.

Fortunately, there are many different organizations and companies that need as much metal as they can get. Additionally, you won't have to do any of the scrapping or tearing apart by your-selves, as professionals take care and effort in removing harmful elements.
