18.Scientists have made sure that most of the overweight people who try to lose weight by cutting calories or exercising will return to their former size.Fewer than 10percent of the 12million British people who go on a diet each year succeed in losing significant amounts of weight and most of those who do put on all weight again within a year. The study of 25,000people provides further evidence of the popularity of‘yo-yo dieting'where people on a diet get into a cycle of losing weight and regaining it.The scientists,from the Medical Research Council's National Survey of Health and Development,have concluded it is better to avoid getting fat at the beginning.They followed 5,362men and women from their birth in 1946and 20,000from birth in 1958,measuring their weight and blood pressure and judging their lifestyles.The researchers found both groups began gaining weight in the 1980s and have steadily increased in size ever since.Dr Rebecca Hardy,the council's programme leader on body size,said:"Once people become overweight,they continue upwards.They hardly ever go back down.They may lose some weight but very few get back to normal.The best policy is to prevent people becoming overweight.For men weight goes up steadily through life.For women it starts slowly and accelerates in the mid-thirties."
But the findings of the study do not mean dieting is pointless,as eating less and taking more exercise can increase fitness and lower blood pressure.In 2009,a quarter of adults and 14percent of children were obese(过度肥胖的),according to the Department of Health's latest Health Survey for England.It has been predicted that 60percent of us will be obese by 2050,leading to even more cases of diabetes,heart disease and cancer.Experts said we are programmed to put on weight rather than lose it.Dieting can make this tendency worse as decreasing calorie intake causes the body to go into starvation mode and reduce the amount of energy it naturally expends,making it even harder to lose weight.
60.According to Dr Rebecca Hardy,which of the following is TRUE?B
A.It is easier for men to lose weight than women.′
B.Never to become fat is the best way of keeping a good shape.
C.Once people lose weight,they never put on weight again.

A.the study lacks believable facts
B.obese people are confident in losing weight
C.dieting can never make a few people lose weight
D.dieting and sports help to keep people free from some diseases
62.From the last paragraph,we can learn thatC.
A.being overweight is a lasting problem through the human history
B.the idea that people lose weight with mechanisms is practical
C.decreasing calorie intake makes it even harder to lose weight
D.by 2050more and more people will have got unfit because of losing weight
63.Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A
A.Fat people can't really keep the weight off.
B.Which is better:cutting calories or exercising?
C.A new study on people's health.
D.How to go on a healthy diet.
