  A. to help; being      B. to helping; to be

  C. to help; to be      D. helping; being

解析:

前一部分考查devote one’s time to doing sth句式。其中devote的宾语the time在定语从句中提到了前面并省略了;后一部分中的consider的后面接了主语补足语,所以用不定式作补语。整个句子的意思为:他在过去的十年中用在帮助残疾人身上的时间现在被认为是很有价值。

  For years experts have argued that poor households are consuming less nourishing food than the rest of the population.

  But a survey of some of the lowest earners in Britain shows the nutritional value of what they eat is little different to everyone else.

  In fact, the same deficiencies in diet were shared by all the population and the findings suggest that poor eating choices are far more widespread than previously suspected - affecting many wealthier families.

  These included low fruit and vegetable consumption, not eating enough oily fish and eating too much saturated fat and sugar.

  “This is a large and significant study and it shows we are all eating just as bad a diet as each other,” said Tim Lang, professor of food policy at City University.

  The poorest families were eating only slightly more sugar and slightly less fruit and vegetables, according to the study of 3,728 respondents in the bottom of the population.

  Alison Tedstone, head of nutritional science at the Food Standard Agency, said:“Overall, people on low incomes have less than ideal diets, but their diets are only slightly worse than those of the rest of the population.”

  The study also showed that low earners are choosing to eat unhealthily.Their food choices were not linked to their income, their access to shops or their cooking skills.

  The findings appear to contradict assumptions that the poor cannot afford healthier foods or are too far away from shops that sell them.

  The Low Income Nutrition and Diet Survey showed that like the rest of the population, the poor's daily fruit and vegetable intake on average is below the recommended five portions.Fewer than 10 per cent of respondents hit this target, while around 20 per cent ate less than a portion per day.

  More than three quarters(76 per cent)of men and 81 per cent of women did less than one 30-minute session of moderate or vigorous exercise per week.

  Some 45 per cent of men and 40 per cent of women were smokers.

  This compares with 28 per cent of men and 24 per cent of women in the general population.

(1)

According to the passage, which of the following is true?

[  ]

A.

Whether the poor or the rich maybe have a bad diet.

B.

Even the poor can enjoy enough fruit and fish consumption.

C.

Only the poor have a bad diet.

D.

The study was conveyed in both the rich and the poor.

(2)

What kind of persons maybe eat most sugar?

[  ]

A.

The rich.

B.

Men.

C.

The poorest.

D.

Women

(3)

From the passage, we can learn _________.

[  ]

A.

the poor choose unhealthy food because of low income

B.

having no access to shops also leads to the poor’s bad diet

C.

the poor’s daily fruit intake is as much as general people

D.

the number of smokers in the poor is bigger than that in general people

(4)

What’s the best title of the passage?

[  ]

A.

The poor’s healthy problem.

B.

Keep off junk food.

C.

How to have a good diet.

D.

A diet survey.

Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be  1 for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it  2  .

Research is preliminary, but several studies  3 people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.

In an editorial  4 this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define  5 activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.

While health officials have issued guidelines  6 minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated  7 .

"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send  8 signals," Ekblom-Bak said. She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucoseand fat in the  9 start to shut down.

Even for people who  10  , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day —  11 still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day,  12 in a single bout.

That wasn't  13 news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting   14  a computer. Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art 15 wrestling, and also does Thai boxing.

"I'm sure there are some detrimental  16 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being  17 when I can helps," he said. "I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be  18 dangerous."

Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat  19 had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised.

Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars.

Experts said more research is needed to  20 just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.
