Chinese students always complain that they’re under great pressure and don’t get enough sleep. But they may be surprised to learn that they’re much luckier than their peers (同龄人) in South Korea and Japan, according to a recently published report, conducted by Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences on the physical and mental health of senior high school students in the three Asian countries.

Among nearly 6,000 high school students in the three countries, Chinese students are the tallest but poorest in physical fitness. Chinese students are on average 168.17cm, compared with 167.61cm for South Korean students and 164.70cm for Japanese students. Chinese students asked for sick leave more than students in other countries. About 72 percent of Korean students never asked for sick and injury leave during high school, compared to 53 percent for Japanese students and 45 percent for Chinese students.

As the survey presents, Japanese and South Korean students suffer more pressure. Statistics show 16 percent of students in China said they experienced mental pressure often over the past year, while the numbers in Japan and South Korea were 33 percent and 47 percent respectively. Their worries come from “study”, “friendships” and “relationship with their parents”. To go with stress, 57.9 percent of Korean students sleep the least, less than six hours a day, compared with 46.6 percent of Japanese students and 30 percent of Chinese students.

More Chinese students were satisfied with their physical appearance. In measures of self?worth, such as “I think I am valuable” and “I can complete many things”, “I won’t give up to failure”, Chinese students showed greater self?confidence than students in Japan and South Korea and they are the happiest among the three.

Last week the American Medical Association voted, for the first time, to declare obesity(肥胖) a disease. How should the rest of us respond? When we meet obese people, should we cast them a knowing glance of concern and ask how they are doing? Should we send flowers and “get well soon” cards to obese family members and friends?

Should the U.S. declare war on obesity, as we once did on cancer?

If obesity truly is a disease, then over 78 million adults and 12 million children in America just got classified as sick. Yet many sensible people know that declaring obesity a disease is a mistake. Simply put, obesity is not a disease. To be sure, it is a risk factor for some diseases.

Yet everyone who is obese does not get sick, and many normal-weight people do not stay healthy. I have known slim people who took good care of themselves throughout their lives yet fell ill and died young. Others who exhibited no particular interest in their health and did not watch their weight lived to an old age. In most cases, we simply cannot tell from a person’s weight what lies ahead for them in life. Consider Winston Churchill. Though average in height, Churchill weighed up to 250 pounds. He smoked cigars and drank relatively heavily. He did not work out. Yet he became perhaps the most important statesmen of the 20th century and one of the greatest politicians in history. He lived to age 90.

Is obesity bad for people? For some, especially patients who are extremely overweight, the answer is almost certainly yes. Would many overweight people benefit from exercising more and eating less? Again, the answer is likely yes. But this does not make obesity a disease. Many people are not harmed by carrying extra pounds, some may actually benefit from it. For these reasons, we should be careful before labeling obese people diseased.

1.What can we learn from the third paragraph ?

A. Over 90 million Americans are more or less overweight.

B. People with good sense would agree with the declaration.

C. More Americans suffer from obesity than any other diseases.

D. Obesity is the leading cause of most deadly diseases.

2.By mentioning Winston Churchill, the author wants to ________.

A. tell us slim people are more likely to die young

B. show how successful an overweight person can be

C. prove overweight people are not necessarily unhealthy

D. encourage people not to care much about their way of living

3.What is the author’s attitude towards the American Medical Association’s declaration on obesity?

A. Favorable B. Uncaring

C. Disapproving D. Friendly

4.Where can we probably find the text?

A. A government report

B. A popular science magazine

C. A website about losing weight

D. A book about famous people

We all wonder so many students and their families are visiting Boston —area schools, such as Harvard, in their summer holidays.

Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it is steamy, warm, damp and thick. But if you had been around 15, 000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted (反应) to the cold, dry climates of the ice ages, but until now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.

Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming. Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the UK each year. But how will the Amazon react to future climate change? If it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.

Unfortunately, getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult. To study past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen, kept in lake muds. Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments (沉淀物) which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aero-planes. Rivers tend to the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled (未取样). So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.

1.The underlined phrase “mopping up” in the second paragraph means ____.

A. cleaning up B. taking in

C. wiping out D. giving out

2.How will the Amazon rainforest react to future climate change?

A. It’ll get drier and continue to remove CO2.

B. It’ll remain steamy, warm, damp and thick.

C. It’ll get warmer and then colder and drier.

D. There is no exact answer up to present.

3.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. It’s important to drill deep down into lake sediments to collect information.

B. It’s impossible to prove how climate changes in the Amazon rainforest.

C. It’s hard to collect information for studies of the past climate in the Amazon

rainforest.

D. It’s necessary to have specialized equipment and machinery to study the past

climate.

4.The best title for this passage may probably be _____.

A. Studies of the Amazon

B. Climates of the Amazon

C. Secrets of the Rainforests

D. Changes of the Rainforests
