Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook? 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 adults are so idle(閑散的)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 charity. The results were shocking. About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control (遙控器)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 questioned people with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them. This led the report to conclude that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classifted as obese(肥胖)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, too. If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the simplest tasks.”
And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the laziest city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
The results pose 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. O

C. their parents don’t play with them much D. they suffer from obesity-related illnesses
________ is the second laziest city in the UK.
A. Scotland B. Glasgow C. Birmingham D. Nuffield
What’s the writer trying to tell us?
A. Parents have much to do with their children’s obesity-related illnesses.
B. British people are getting lazier, which can cause serious social problems.
C. The National Health Service has to face a lot of serious challenges every year.

Birds in cities are damaging their health by trying to sing above the noise of urban life.
New research shows that male birds are trying to compete against traffic and city sounds.They are now singing louder and at higher frequencies,which could harm their vocal cords.Some birds are choosing to sing at night instead of dudng the day.This makes them more open to attack and also creates stress and exhanstion.
“The difference between urban and rural birdsong is becoming so big that the two groups could now be unable to communicate.This could lead to inbreeding and a weak gene pool.”said Dr Sue Anne Zollinger of the University of St Andrews.
According to Zollingar,a bird group with a small geae pool might adapt less quickly to new diseases and could be wiped out.
A study of the dawn chorus found that birds in Berlin sang up to 14 decibels(分貝)louder than those in the forest.The birds sang loudest on weekday momings.
“By trying to sing over the sound of the city,birds are rising vocal injury,”said Zollinger.“All this puts the sarne strain on a bird’s vocal cords as when ahuman need to shout to be heard—except the birds are doing it all day,every day,”she said.
“Singing under such pressure means birds have less control over the sound they produce. Their songs may lose quality and become more rough—sounding.”said Zollinger.This could make them appear less attractive to female birds.
Mark Constantine,author of The Sound Approach to Birding,said:“Birdsong is important for our quality of life and has been proved to reduce our blood pressure.When we live in the centre of large,urban areas,we get stressed and it's extremely good to have birdsong around us.The impact on humans of birdsong is massive.It harms us,as well as the birds,if their songs become louder and simpler
53.Some birds in cities now choose to sing at night time because_______.
A.they want to attract more birds of opposite sex
B.they are more likely to be discovered by their family
C.they can’t adapt to the loud noises during the daytime
D.they have to frighten their enemy away
54.According to the passage,urban and rural birds might not be able to_______.
A.recognize each other
B communicate with each other
C live with each other
D.compete against each other
55.It requires greatest efforts for birds in cities to sing o_______.
A.Monday nights B.Wednesday afternoons
C.Saturday Evenings D.Friday momings
56.According to Dr Sue Anne Zollinger,birds singing louder might eventually lead to_______.
A.the harm done to man’s health
B the dying out of a species
C.the serious damage to the bird’s vocal cords
D.the decrease ofthe birth rate ofa bird group
