11．What about the effect of long working hours on your weight？A new paper，written by Joelle Abramowitz，an economist，has some surprising results．She starts out by showing a simple graph：those who work longer are easy to be bigger．
That seems interesting，but is not as good as expected．After all，there may be other factors that mean that hardworking people tend to be overweight．So Ms Abramowitz uses regressions（回归），which allows her to control a variety of other factors，like income．Her results have a few surprises：those with a college degree are likely to be slimmer（苗条）．Rather depressingly，marriage results in women getting thinner，but men fatter．
She shows that for workers in"non-strenuous（不繁重的）"jobs，like secretarial work and accountancy，ten additional hours spent working per week are connected with an increase in body size index 0.4for women and 0.2for men．That translates，on average，into an increase of 2.5pounds and 1.4pounds respectively（各自地）．Unsurprisingly，for those whose jobs require a bit of physical effort，the effect no longer holds．
So why do long hours result in weight gain？Only 20% of American jobs are even mildly stressful，compared to 50% in 1960．In 1960，a tenth of the American workforce was involved in agriculture，but today it's more like 1%．More time at the desk means less movement．Busy people may have less time to prepare good meals，instead choosing a take-away．（ management consultants，in my experience at least，tend to be rather knowledgeable about fancy restaurants near them）．They exercise less．And workaholics sleep less：inadequate shut-eye is associated with weight gain．
Women gain more weight than men，Ms abramowitz reasons，because they tend to replace work for health-improving activities like exercise．However，men are prettysedentary，whether or not they work long hours．So maybe desk-jobbers should include a bit of physicality in the daily hard work．Standing up while working is one choice．
32．What can we know about Joelle Abramowitz's graph？D
A．The author thinks it's puzzling．
B．Many people don't think it's good．
C．It includes many factors on fatness
D．It shows people working long put on more weight．
33．What kind of people tends to put on weight according to the passage？C
A．People who feel depressed．
B．People who have college degrees．
C．People who work on secretarial work．
D．people who often eat in fancy restaurants
34．Compared to the past，A．
A．Americans are fatter because of lack of exercise
B．Americans are fatter because of improvement of life
C．Americans become fatter because of less stressful work
D．Americans men are more likely to put on weight than women．
35．What's the meaning of the underlined word"sedentary"in paragraph 5？B
A．Hard-working．B．Inactive     C．Thoughtful    D．Changeable．
1．Pets are popular．They're good listeners，they encourage us to exercise，and they're always on our side when we argue with others．They can bring us comfort and pleasure．
     But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick．Washing your hands often-----especially after you touch，feed，or clean up a pet-----is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease．Be sure to clean your fingernails（指甲）
carefully every time you wash．
      You can also protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animals cages or cat litter boxes．Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub（浴缸），but if you do，always disinfect（给----消毒）the tub immediately afterward．
      Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured．
      You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy．Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them．It's not a good idea to share your food with your pet．Human food （like chocolate） can make animals sick．Never feed your pet raw meat because it can carry germs（细菌）that cause serious illness．
      Never give milk to cats．The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother．Cow's milk is not for pets，especially for cats，as it makes them sick．
      Finally，some animals aren't pets．Don't take in a wild or abandoned（被抛弃的）animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick．Instead，turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals．
