(2015 •呼和浩特中考) 

   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?

   A study into how lazy British people has found more than half of the adults are so lazy that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

   Just over 2, 000 people were quizzed by independent researchers in the Britain's largest health center. The results were very surprising.

   About one in six people who were asked said if their control was broken,they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

   More than one third of those asked said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly,of 654 respondents (離婚被告) with children,64% said they were often too tired to play with them.

   We know that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are very fat before they start school.

   Dr Sarah,Dauncey,medical director of the center,said, “People need to get fitter,not just for their own health,but for their families,friends and 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 basic tasks. ”

   And Scotland's largest city,Glasgow,was shamed as the laziest city in the UK,with 75% asked thinking they do not get enough exercise,followed by Birmingham and Southampton,both with 67%.

   So there are some problems for the National Health Service,where fatness-related (相關(guān)的) illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on an increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

   Language is always changing and developing. This isnJt a bad thing. If English hadnJt changed for a long time,we won ’t have words to describe telephones,washing machines,computers or some other new things.

Language changes for several reasons. First,it changes because the needs of its speaker change.

    New technologies,new products,and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions,because they have different ages,jobs,education levels (水平) and so on.

   How does language develop then? On the one hand,many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age,their language grows in grammar,words and expressions that are different from the older people's. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand,we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages,we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names.

   Languages that don't change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.
