20.Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself?Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores?What can't you be bothered to do?A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults prefer to catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2000people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health,Britain's largest health charity.The results were very astonishing.
About one in six people surveyed (调查) said if their remote control was broken,they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus.Worryingly,of the 654respondents with children,64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (肥胖) before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey,medical director of Nuffield Health,said;"People need to get fitter,not only for themselves but also for their families,friends and evidently their pets.If we don't start to take control of this problem,a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basics of tasks."
And Scotland's largest city,Glasgow,was ashamed as the most lazy city in the UK,with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise,followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton,both with 67%.
The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service,where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

分析 本文为社会生活类说明文,文中分析了一项关于英国人懒惰调查的结果,英国人懒惰的程度让人惊讶;令人担忧的是,在654名有孩子的参与者中,64%的人说他们太累了不能和孩子们一起玩;研究由此得出结论,这就是1/6的英国儿童在上学之前就被认定为肥胖的原因;与肥胖相关的疾病如心脏病和癌症在稳步上涨;为了他人,人们需要健康;
解答 68.答案是A.细节理解题;根据第倒数第二段可知,格拉斯哥是英国最懒惰的城市,紧随其后的是伯明翰和南安普顿,两者比例相同,故在懒惰方面伯明翰仅次于格拉斯哥,答案选A.
69.答案是D.细节理解题;第六段中"This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (肥胖) before they start school.(这导致这个报告得出结论:难怪在英国1/6的孩子在上学前被认定为肥胖)"说明了"this"是很多孩子肥胖的原因;而this指代上文第五段中"Worryingly,of the 654respondents with children,64% said they were often too tired to play with them.在654名有孩子的参与者中,64%的人说他们太累了不能和孩子们一起玩";由此判断选D.
70.答案是A.细节理解题;根据最后一段中"where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase 这种情形中肥胖相关的疾病如心脏病和癌症在稳步上涨",由此推测肥胖会导致心脏病,故选A.
