Maybe you should sit down before you read this. It’s a little frightening. Your sitting maybe killing you.
Health experts say the US adult now sits about 6.5 hours a day. That is up about an hour a day compared to 2007. The news is even worse for teens. They sit eight hours each day. The information was put out by the National Center for Health Statistics. It has collected the numbers for the past 16 years. It is worried about what it has found.
Research shows that people who are not active can get sick. Their bones get weaker. They burn fewer calories (卡路里). That makes them more likely to put on too much weight. They might even get diabetes (糖尿病). They are at risk for high blood pressure and heart problems, too.
Some experts also think sitting too much can influence how your blood moves through your body and how well your body fights off illness. Being active helps in lots of ways. It can make you happier, burn more calories and give you more energy. It can also help you sleep better.
About 60% of people in the US watch at least two hours of TV each day. That number has stayed about the same in recent years.
Computers are the biggest reason for more hours spent puter use outside of work or school has gone up for all age groups. Now, 50% of adults spend at least an hour of their free time on a computer each day. That is up from 29% in 2003.
About 53% of teens now spend at least an hour of free time on computers. So do 56% of kids. As many as 1 in 4 people who use computers use three hours or more outside of work and school.
So get up, take some breaks and go outside. You might save your life by doing outdoor activities.
66.The text is especially helpful for those who care about _________.
A.their body shape B.their home comforts C.their health D.their food
67.Being active can help people _________.
A.burn more calories B.forget their pressure C.get sick D.treat heart problems
68.What is the text mainly about
A.Computers are causing health problems. B.Too much sitting is influencing our health.
C.Being more active is good for you and me. D.Sitting means killing.
69.Which one of the following is most probably to be discussed next

Nobody in this world can live without the help from others. We should help each other.
As a student, I often do some volunteer work to help others. Three months ago, I volunteered at a primary school in a small village. I taught children English there. On the first day, they didn’t listen to me. And none of them wanted to speak English. I felt very upset. However, with the help of other volunteers, I finally found good ways to teach them. I made beautiful cards and cut out interesting pictures. They started to be interested in English. One month later, they could talk to me in English.
I like helping others because it makes me happy.
