New research shows that overweight or even mildly obese people have a lower risk of early death than people considered to be normal weight.

Researchers examined the results of 97 studies. Most of the studies were less than 10 years old. They included almost three million adults from around the world, including the United States, Canada, China, Taiwan, Brazil, India and Mexico.

The researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics found that people who are considered overweight or slightly obese were five to six percent less likely to die from all causes than people of normal weight. People with higher obesity ratings, however, had almost a 30 percent greater risk of death compared to normal-weight individuals.

Katherine Flegal was the lead author of the study. She says she was not surprised that overweight people would not have a higher risk of death.

“Because we’d actually already read a lot of this literature and realized it was likely that mortality rates (死亡率) for overweight would be at least not higher than normal weight. I guess I was a little bit surprised that it was definitely lower. And I was also surprised that the lower rates of obesity also didn’t seem to differ from normal weight.”

But she says the difference in death rates appears to be small between normal-weight people and those who are overweight or mildly obese.

The study has raised new questions about “body mass index,”(体重指数) or BMI. This is a measurement of body fat as a ratio(比率) of height to weight. In recent years, many public health experts have promoted body mass index as a way to predict the risk of health problems. Bu t a person's BMI can be misleading in some cases.

Steven Heymsfield ,the executive director of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, says people can be physically fit and in good health, but might weigh more because they are more muscular.

Still, Dr. Heymsfield says people should not think gaining extra weight is OK just because of the new findings. He says being at a healthy weight lowers the risk for heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病).

1.According to the new findings, the researchers found that __________ .

A.People with high obesity have a lower risk of early death than people with low obesity

B.People with overweight have a greater risk of early death than people of normal weight.

C.People with mild obesity are less likely to die than people of normal weight.

D.People with obesity live much longer than people of normal weight.

2.What does the underlined word “literature” in paragraph 6 mean ?

A.works like novels and poems

B.books and articles on a particular subject

C.printed material

D.magazines and newspapers

3.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

A. BMI is commonly used to measure body fat as a ratio of height to weight.

B. Not all people with a little higher BMI are fat .

C. Many public health experts encourage more people to use BMI as a way to predict the risk of health problem

D. Because of the ne w findings, people should think about gaining extra weight.

     Curt and I have this kind of friendship that I wish everyone would be able to experience.
     Our friendship   1   many years ago. We met while   2   different high schools. As years passed, we became
good friends. Curt was the best man (伴郎) at my wedding, and I was   3   a few years later when he married
my sister's roommate. And yet the event that almost showed our partnership and   4   our friendship happened
over 25 years ago, when we were in our 20's.
     Curt and I were attending a pool party at the local Swim and Racquet Club. We were walking to the car,
joking about the party, and Curt   5   ne and said, "Steve, your ve had too much   6  . Maybe I should drive."
At first I thought he was   7 , but since Curt is definitely the wiser of us, I   8   his judgment.
     "Good idea." I said, and handed him the   9  .
     After I was settled in the passenger seat and Curt sat behind the wheel, he said, "I'm going to need your  10  
because I'm not sure how to get to your house from here." "No problem," I  11 .
     Curt started the car and we were  12 . The next ten miles seemed like a hundred as I prompted (提示) Curt
with  13 -left now, right soon, slow down, speed up and so on. The important thing was that we got home  14   
that night.
     Ten years later at my wedding, Curt brought  15  to the eyes of 400 guests as he told the story of our partners
hip and  16  we drove home together that night. Why was it such a (n)  17  story? We would all offer our keys 
 18  we knew we shouldn't drive. But you see, my friend Curt was blind. He had been blind from  19  and never
sat behind the wheel of a car  20  that night.
