Some weight-loss camps, which are rare in China just a few years ago, have sprouted in Beijing, Qingdao, Shenzhen, and other cities. Today about 15 percent of adults, or 200 million Chinese, are reportedly overweight. Of these, 90 million—about 7 percent—are obese（極肥胖的）.
Experts say the obesity epidemic is spreading to children, though more slowly than in adults. The trend, they say, will have a huge impact on the health of China’s citizens and economy. “We’re seeing a very large proportion of children and adolescents who are quite heavy and aren’t moving much,” said Barry Popkin, a nutrition professor. Popkin carries out an ongoing health-and-nutrition survey of 16,000 households in China. He says more kids today are overeating and putting on weight “quite quickly.” In just ten years, China’s childhood obesity rate has doubled, with the greatest gains coming in urban areas. “In big cities it’s a big problem.” 
Some experts blame the extra fat on a range of factors, many of them tied to China’s rapidly changing economy and culture. The diets of Chinese adults and children are far higher in calorie-laden meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, fats, and sugars than ever before. In addition, kids—especially city dwellers—are more sedentary today and spend more time indoors in front of homework, television, computer games, and the Internet.
Shuwen Ng, a health economist, says that kids in China now have pocket money, and they spend a portion of it on junk food. Ng adds that advertising and peer groups influence kids’ food choices. Certain foods, such as new candies or fast food, have attractive features.
China’s childhood obesity rate still lags that of the United States, where some 15 percent of kids are said to be obese. But the long-term effects are equally serious.
【小題1】According to the passage we know _____.

A．weight-loss camps have been very popular in China six years ago
B．a(chǎn)bout 290 million Chinese are overweight in China in all
C．in China childhood obesity rate in rural areas is lower than that in major cities
D．America’s childhood obesity rate is lower than China’s
【小題2】 Which of the following is NOT the reason of China’s childhood obesity?
A．Advertising on some new candiesB．High quality diets
C．Playing computer games for long timeD．Having pocket money
【小題3】 The underlined word “sedentary” in the second paragraph probably means _____.
A．a(chǎn)ttentiveB．earnestC．a(chǎn)bsentD．inactive
【小題4】 According to the passage we can infer _____.
A．obesity explosion in China will affect the United States
B．there is great difference in kids’ food choices now
C．junk food contributes to childhood obesity
D．city children eat more than rural children
【小題5】What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Chinese Childhood Obesity Explosion
B．Weight-loss Camps in China
C．Obesity Explosion’s Impacts On Chinese Economy
D．Obesity Explosion In China And America

Foods from Around the World
Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from other countries. Here are four people’s experiences with foreign food.
Shao Wong is a student in France. He comes from China. “I’d never tasted cheese or even milk before I came here. Cattle are rare in my part of China, so there are no dairy products. I tried milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I sampled cheese too, but couldn’t manage more than one bite. I love ice cream, though, and that’s made from milk.”
Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vacation. “I was in a restaurant that specialized in fish, and I heard some other customers order flake. So I ordered some too and it was delicious. Later, I found out that flake is an Australian term for shark. After that pleasant experience, whenever I see a new food I try it out on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake.”
Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She originates from India. “I’m frightened of eating new foods because they might be made from beef. I’m a Hindu, and my religion forbids me to eat meat from the cow. It’s a sacred animal to Hindus, so that’s the reason I can’t eat hamburgers or spaghetti with meatballs.”
Nathan is American. He taught for a year in China. “My friends gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn’t like the look of them at all. The insides were green, but my friends said the color was normal. The Chinese put chemicals on fresh eggs. Then they bury them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren’t really very old. Even so, I absolutely refused to touch them.”
Life in a new country can be scary, but it also can be fun. Would you sample a 100-year-old egg? Would you order shark in a restaurant?
56. Which of the following sentences is true about Shao Wong?
A. He is a French – Chinese.
B. Cattle are seldom raised in his hometown.
C. He doesn’t like any diary products.
D. He didn’t taste cheese because he hated it.
57. What kind of girl is Birgit?
A. Religious.     B. Brave. C. Confident.   D. Open- minded.
58. Chandra is frightened of eating food made from beef, because _________.
A. It’s against Hindus’ religion.
B. She is a doctor and she thinks beef is not easy to chew and digest.
C. She is an Indian.
D. Hindus think beef is not tasty.
59. The underlined word “Sacred” in paragraph 4 means _________.
A. frightening  B. large    C. man – eating        D.greatly respected
60. What can you infer from this passage?
A. Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from other countries.
B. Despite (雖然) cultural differences in food, have a try and maybe you’ll get used to it.
C. A vacation is a good way to learn about new foods. Be sure to go on vacation more   often.
D. People dislike eating new foods only because their religion forbids it.

I was driving around downtown one afternoon in the winter. I   1  a red light and stopped. As I was   2 , I saw a young guy standing on my left. He was   3  in the face and holding a cardboard sign with some   4  on it. When you’re in the heart of downtown, it’s pretty   5  to see homeless people asking for   6 . Generally, I would pass them, but this time when I glanced over the sign, I   7 . 

I can’t remember what the sign said exactly, but it was something like: “  8  money / food, have stomach cancer, homeless, anything helps.”

I didn’t know why, but for some   9  this particular sign struck me. The   10  had just turned green, and there was a line of lunch rush hour traffic behind me. I went back and forth in my    11  a hundred times in that next   12  about whether I should do something. “Should I help?  13  on?

Nowadays, the food we eat seems to have great effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures.

That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, about 68 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.

1.What is the best possible title of the passage?

A．Drug and Food                         B．Cancer and Health

C．Food and Health                        D．Health and Drug

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons

B．Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals

C．Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for over thirty-five years.

D．Food may cause forty percent of cancer in world.

3.How has science done something harmful to mankind?

A．Because of science, diseases caused by polluted food have been virtually eliminated.

B．It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.

C．Because of the application of science, some potentially harmful substances have been added to food.

D．The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.

4.What are nitrates used for?

A．They preserve flavor in packaged foods.

B．They preserve the color of meats.

C．They are the objects of research.

D．They cause the animals to become fatter.

5.The word 'carcinogenic' most nearly means '_____'.

A．trouble-making     B．color-retaining      C．money-making      D．cancer-causing
