A study suggests that apple-shaped women with a waist bigger than 88cm have a higher risk of developing asthma(哮喘)一even if their body-weight is normal.

Being overweight is well known to raise the risk of asthma. But the lat?est study suggests that the amount of weight women carry around the abdo?men might be particularly important. The study, by the Northern California Cancer Centre at Berkeley, appears in the journal Thorax. The results of research showed that overweight women were 40% more likely to have asth?ma than women of normal body weight. Asthma was more than twice as likely in fat women, and more than three times as likely in extremely fat women than in those of normal body weight.

But perhaps more surprisingly, the researchers also found that women of normal body weight but with a waistline of more than 88cm were also at increased risk—around a third higher than those with a smaller waist. Some researchers argue that the waistline may be a more useful measure because it more closely reflects levels of visceral fat (内脏脂肪)found around the body's organs. Visceral fat is different from other types of fat found in the body, and may have different and more important effects on health. Re?searcher Julid Von Behren said, "Visceral fat is more active. It can produce something that may cause inflammation (炎症).The inflammation may then be related to asthma."

It is important that people with asthma eat a healthy, balanced diet, which is low in fat and sugar, and take regular exercise.

9. Which of the following statements about visceral fat is TRUE?

  A.  It can cause asthma directly.

B.  It can help to prevent inflammation.

C. It is less active than other types of fat in the body.

D. It has important effects on a person's health.

 10. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to _____.

A.  new measure                    B.  the waistline

C. visceral fat                      D.  a smaller waist

11. What's the main idea of the passage?

 A. Visceral fat is very dangerous to people's health.

B. Women of normal body weight are healthier.

C. Apple-shaped women face greater risk of developing asthma.

D. Eating a healthy diet is good for asthma.

12.In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?

A. Health.       B.  Family.       C.  Education.   D. Sports.

A

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.

Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gar?dens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of nature.

Some people, however, take no interest in country things. For them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy sLreets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occa?sional walk in one of the parks or a fortnight's visit to the sea every summer is all the country life they want : the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.

 3. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that_____  if they had to live it outside London.

A. their life was meaningless

C. they didn't deserve a happy life

D. they were not worthy of their happy life
