Speedy eaters are three times more likely to be too fat, a problem which is made even worse by the popularity of fast food and the decrease of regular dining habits, some Japanese researchers said on Wednesday.

The findings, published in the British Medical Journal, pay special attention to how eating styles, and not just what or how much is eaten, can affect an obesity epidemic(肥胖流行病) that is becoming more and more severe because of the speed of the Western-style diet in many parts of the world.

The World Health Organization considers around 400 million people in the world as too fat, 20 million of whom are under the age of five. The researchers are concerned that the condition raises the risk of diseases like type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) and heart problems.

For their study, Hiroyasu Iso and the team at Osaka University asked more than 3000 Japanese volunteers (志愿者) who are 30 to 69 years old about their eating. About half of the men and a little more than half of the women said they ate until full. About 45 percent of the men and 36 percent of the women said they ate quickly.

Those who said they ate until full and ate quickly were three times more likely to be fat than people in the “not eating until full and not eating quickly” group, the researchers found.

They believe that the main causes are both the popularity of eating cheap fast food and bad habits such as watching television while eating.

To fight against the bad effect of eating quickly and being too full that can lead to obesity, parents should encourage children to eat slowly and in calm environments, the study suggested.

2.Please explain the underlined word “severe” in English. (No more than 3 words)

The time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.

Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings changes. The languages of the world’s main culture are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures. Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.

Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.

People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.

Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing? The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever. The future of the world’s language depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allow them to quietly disappear?

Time will have the last word.

1.Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _______languages in the world.

A. around 3,000 B. over 3,000

C. 6,000 D. less than 20

2. In “the languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.” the underlined word “replace” means “_______”.

A. to put something back into a correct place

B. to find good place for something

C. to take the place of something.

D. to decide how important something is

3.The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a popular world language, _______.

A. it would be easier for them to share their ideas

B. people would have no trouble in learning language

C. lessons at schools would be taught in the language

D. people would respect their own culture more

4.According to the passage, if nobody spoke the languages of smaller cultures, _______.

A. many of the words for things we do not know would be lost

B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the elders

C. people would have difficulty in working together

D. there would be no smaller cultures

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth.Language is the tool of my trade.And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.

Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks.Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English.But I feel embarrassed to say that.It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness.I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example.But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker.

I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her.I was ashamed of her English.I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say.That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect.And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.

1.By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______.

A.she is a writer by profession

B.she is fascinated by languages

C.she works as a translator

D.she uses English in foreign trade

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?

A.Americans do not understand broken English.

B.Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.

C.The author’s mother had positive influence on her.

D.The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.

3. The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is _____.

A.well structured B.rich in meaning

C.in the old style D.easy to translate

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English.

B.The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.

C.The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.

D.The author’s experiences of using broken English.
