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 the adults are so idle （懒散的 that 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 center. The results were extremely surprising.
About one in six people questioned 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 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that ifs no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese （very fat） 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, friends and evidently （明显地；显然） their pets too. "
"If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most fundamental tasks."
And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most idle city in the UK, with 75% questioned admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
The results bring 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.
1. What does the underlined word "quizzed" mean
A. questioned B. answered C. listened D. heard
2. Of 654 respondents with children 64% said __________________.
A. they were often too busy to play with their children
B. they were often so tired that they couldn't play with their children
C. they were often so sad that they didn't want to play with their children
D. they were often ill and they couldn't play with their children
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. All the adults in the UK are very lazy.
B. Half of the children are very fat before they go to school.
C. Pets will be in trouble if their owners don't keep healthy.
D. All people in Glasgow feel ashamed because they don't get enough exercise.
4. From the last paragraph, we can learn ________________if they keep lazy.
A. people may have heart disease B. people can work at home al the time
C. people like shopping online D. people don't like climbing the stairs
5. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The health service in the UK B. A study of British people's lifestyles
C. A study of British people's laziness D. The fatness problem in the UK
(B)
Where in the world can you take an hour's train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down There's only one place, and that's Hollywood, in California The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets（布景）in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies in the USA.
A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn't quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.
The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet Mends away from home. But older people mostly stay at home to watch series, like Dynasty, which have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These "soap opera", as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.
Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new centre, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don't need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses replace expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.
But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.
1. From the passage, we know Universal Studios is _______________.
A. a very large park B. a busy London street
C. a famous movie company D. an old Hollywood movie
2. The movie industry in California isn't as successful as before because __________.
A. young people don't go to movie theatres any more
B. there is strong competition from other states
C. its movie companies are in need of young stars
D. the state hasn't put a development plan into action
3. Which of the following seems to be a threat (威胁) to Hollywood
A. The use of modern cameras and other equipment.
B. The interest of middle-aged film stars.
C. The making of TV series like Dynasty.
D. The expensively made copies of scenes.
4. What can we learn about "soap operas" from the passage
A. They are teenagers' favourites. B. They are much more expensive.
C. They are less attractive. D. They are cheaper and easier to make.
5. The passage mainly tells us _________________.
A. something about the film industry in the USA
B. the importance of soap operas in Hollywood
C. the good old days of Hollywood
D. the film business in California

五、任务型阅读
It's important to develop the healthy habits in your daily life. The following will help you become healthier and keep perfect shape.
Eat properly. A healthy diet is very important for everybody. Breakfast is the most important meal in a day. Doctors suggest that students’ breakfast should include fruit, eggs, milk, rice or noodles, because these can offer them necessary energy, help them listen carefully in class and keep them healthy. Eat enough for lunch and little for supper. But remember that too much sugar is bad for your teeth and blood. You shouldn't have too many sweet snacks and desserts in your diet,even though such food tastes delicious.
Keep off germs(病菌). Daily tooth cleaning reduces the amount of germs, which will spread diseases. Germs in the mouth are likely to enter the blood and cause illness, even heart disease. Even if you' re not sick, always remember to cough or sneeze into your arms instead of your hands because hands can spread germs to others when you touch something else. Besides, washing hands is necessary after going to the toilet or before having a meal. And you'd better rub both hands while washing them.
Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can improve your moods and balance.What's more, it's good for bones. There are many forms of exercise: walking or running for about 30 minutes a day, playing ball games twice or three times a week, swimming or dancing often. You can choose your favourite to practise regularly. You will not only feel energetic but also think better after doing exercise.
Stay connected. Having regular communication with friends is the key to reducing stress. And sharing happiness and sadness, exchanging information with others can also help improve memory. Having a friend or a circle of friends can help you feel good.
