Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook? 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 are so idle（闲散的）they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2,000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain’s largest health charity. The results were shocking. About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control (遥控器)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 654 questioned people 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 classifted as obese（肥胖）before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families， too. If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the simplest tasks.”
And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the laziest 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 pose 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 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

3. ________ is the second laziest city in the UK.

Friends
It was Saturday morning, Nicky and I were just finishing our shopping． “Let me see．．．” Nicky said． “ We’ve been to the supermarket , the baker’s and the greengrocer’s．．． Is that the lot?”
I looked at my list． “I just need a couple of things from the chemist's ,” I told her． “All right, ” Nicky said． “While you’re doing that, I'll just call in at the bookshop． ”
We arranged to meet at a cafe in a quarter of an hour． I arrived first． When Nicky came in, she looked quite excited．
“Did you find your book, then?” I asked as she sat down．
“Yes,” Nicky said．
“Something special?” I asked． I was curious because Nicky was not a great reader, except for newspapers and magazines． She sometimes borrowed books, but she rarely bought them．
“ Well , yes , ” Nicky admitted．
“What's all the mystery?” I asked． “Tell me all about it!”
“It isn't exactly a mystery, Kay,” Nicky began． I waited for her to go on． “Well, do you remember that woman who used to live opposite the church-Miss Hunter?”
“The one who used to wear funny clothes and had a large dog? Wasn’t she an artist?”
“Well, yes, ” Nicky said． “She did paint-but only as a hobby． As a matter of fact, she was a writer-and I've just bought her latest book! ” Nicky took the book out of her bag and passed it across the table． The title was “Death Comes to the Village”．
“A detective story,” I said． “Hey, do you think we're in it?”
“I’m pretty sure I am,” Nicky said, looking rather pleased with herself．“ You see, Miss Hunter and I were quite good friends and she often said she was going to put me into her next book!”
“Shall we have a look?” I asked． But Nicky picked the book up and put it in her bag． “I’d like to read it first, ” she said． “But I'll lend it to you, of course．．． ”
Some time passed after our meeting in the cafe and I heard nothing from Nicky． I decided to ring her up and ask about the book． “Oh, that!” she said in a small voice．
“You don’t sound very pleased , ” I said． “ Weren’t you in the book after all?”
“Yes, ” Nicky said． “I’m in the book all right! But who do you think I am? I’m the village post woman ! I pass on all the gossip in the village ! I even open letters sometimes ! I’m the most unpleasant person in the whole book! That woman is no friend of mine, I can tell you!”
1．Nicky first went to the chemist’s and then to the bookshop．
2．Nicky found the book she was looking for in the bookshop．
3．Nicky enjoyed reading books and read a lot．
4．Miss Hunter painted pictures for a living．
5．Nicky was quite happy because she believed she would be put in Hunter's new book．
6．Nicky lent the book to the author before reading it herself．
7．Miss Hunter's description of Nicky in the book was unfavorable．
