  (London)-If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.

  Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.

  “Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College.Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.

  According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.

  Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside.Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores(20 to 25)actually had too high levels of internal fat.Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.

  According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat.They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat.Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.

  Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes.They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.

  The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet.“If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut.Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.

  “Dr Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?”

  The usual laughter followed, and people stirred(骚动)to go.Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.

  “I will answer your question.”

  Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter.And what he said went like this:

  “When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village.”One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror.A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place.

  I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece.This one and by scratching it on a stone, I made it round.I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine-in deep holes and crevices(裂缝)and dark closets.It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.

  I kept the little mirror and as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game.As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child's game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life.I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light.But light-truth, understanding, knowledge-is there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.

  I am a fragment(碎片)of a mirror whose whole design and shape l do not know.Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world into the black places in the hearts of men and change some things in some people.Perhaps others may see and do likewise.This is what I am about.This is the meaning of my life.

(1)

On hearing the author's question, Dr.Papedotes ________ at first.

[  ]

A.

laughed at his foolishness

B.

doubted his seriousness

C.

wasn't sure of the answer

D.

wasn't interested at all

(2)

How did Dr Papaderos get the small round mirror when he was a child?

[  ]

A.

He found it on the road and made it round.

B.

A dying German soldier gave him as a present.

C.

He chanced to find it in the street while playing.

D.

He put the broken pieces together and made it.

(3)

Why did Dr Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child?

[  ]

A.

Because it could shine the places where the sun couldn't reach.

B.

Because he was too poor to afford other toys.

C.

Because he believed it would bring good luck to him.

D.

Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him.

(4)

The underlined“metaphor”in the 7th paragraph most probably means ________.

[  ]

A.

purpose

B.

source

C.

light

D.

symbol
