7.There are a lot of people who are overweight all over the world.What causes obesity?If you get the gene(基因),well,probably you are going to be a few more pounds heavier compared to the rest of your classmates or friends.(36)GObesity can not only make a person look heavy,and not in the usual sense of being handsome,but can also lead to serious health conditions and life-threatening diseases.
(37)CIndeed,junk food has been blamed for the prevalence(流行)of obesity.It is called junk food,because hamburger,pizza and the like contain high calories.If you eat a Big Mac (a super hamburger),an order of large fries,and a large Coke,you will need to walk non-stop for six hours to burn off the calories you have gained.And don't be fooled by soft drinks,which are high in sugar and are a major cause of obesity.
(38)FPopular sugary drinks,of course,include Coca Cola,Pepsi(百事) Cola,and many new brands that appear on the market every couple of days.

(40)ENext time,when you are ready to eat that huge Mac and to drink that two-liter bottle of Pepsi,probably it's a good idea to give it a second thought.

A.Obesity is more common in women than men.
B.Most people don't realize how easy it is to gain weight from drink sugar-sweetened beverages(饮料)
C.When we talk about obesity,the first thought that comes to mind is:junk food.
D.The unburnt calories will put weight on you.
E.Keeping healthy is our own responsibility.
F.Because of their high content of sugar,soft drinks are also called sugary drinks.
G.However,the most common cause of obesity is eating too much,especially too much junk food.

Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world,in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hoping to sell their products.

The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.

It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.

B. The right of choice is given but at a price.

2.Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?

I used to believe courtesy(礼貌) was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modem era of the so called Generation X.

Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being. I had gone to a happening coffee place, with two of my grown up daughters. The place was crowded with the usual loud crowd and we had to climb a sleep flight of stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we were at the steep descent down the stairs, where the narrow space made climbing down only possible in a single file, with hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.

Just as I was in the middle of my descent, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man who will want to go up in a hurry. I kept coming down as fast as I could, holding on to the banister (栏杆), instead of my advanced years. My agile daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger strange started up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.

Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt had that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.
