LONDON—Manchester is Britain’s fattest city, a survey for “Men’s Health” has found, beating Glasgow for the first time since the magazine started examining the issue three years ago.
Editor Pete Muir said the survey had looked at a variety of factors(因素) from gym membership to heart disease rates to find the fattest city. “Manchester has more fast food restaurants than anywhere else in the UK,” he told Reuters. “People are taking the easy choice —eating and then just sitting in front of the TV.”
Manchester’s problem is part of a wider trend(趋势). On Thursday, the Office of National Statistics (ONS) blamed(责备) a lack of exercise and poor diet for a fifth of adult Britons being obese(过度肥胖的). “Obesity is a major risky factor related to heart disease, diabetes and premature death(糖尿病和早亡),” said an ONS survey. “None of the 108 young men in the survey reported eating five portions of fruit or vegetables on average each day.”
In Manchester, the head of the city’s public health programs said he did not believe that they were necessarily the fattest city, but that they did have problems and were aiming to address them. Social deprivation(贫困) was a major factor. “One of the myths is that the stressed-out(压力大的) rich businessman is the one who is overweight,” David Regan told Reuters. “In fact, it is the poor areas that have the most problems. We aim not to be the fattest but the fittest city but we have a long way to go.”
Second in the survey is Stoke-on-Trent, followed by Liverpool, Swansea and Leicester. Glasgow is sixth.
1. Manchester took the place of ____________ and became Britain’s fattest city.
A. Liverpool B. London
C. Stoke-on-Trent D. Glasgow
2.Obesity may lead to the following EXCEPT _______________.
A. heart disease B. diabetes
C. premature death D. a lack of exercise
3.David Regan is most probably _________________.
A. the reporter from Reuters
B. an official of ONS
C. the head of Manchester’s public health programs
D. a rich businessman who is overweight
4. This article is most probably taken from ________________.
A. a newspaper B. a science book
C. a novel D. a biography (传记)

The story of Juno and Lucas is one of the most touching stories about the amazing relationship between humans and their companion animals.
Juno is a Belgian Malinois(比利时马犬). The dog was beautiful but was given up by its owners, as they did not want to take on the responsibility.
Lucas, a little boy, had a strange illness, a condition that stops the body’s ability to process enzymes(酶).As his life continues, he will lose the ability to speak and his physical and mental abilities will degrade till he is left in a vegetative(植物人的)state. The average life expectancy for the patients is 15 years.
Chester, the boy’s father, wanted his child to enjoy his life on earth as much as possible and looked into getting a service dog for the child. However, Lucas wasn’t a good candidate due to his deteriorating(恶化的)abilities, not to mention the $15,000 cost of the animal.
Not terrified by all of this, Chester looked into adopting a dog for his son. He found Juno on a website and drove two hours to meet her. Chester had worked with the breed(品种) in the police force and was familiar with how to train them. He put in patience and hard work, and trained Juno while allowing her to become accustomed to Lucas. Now, not only will Juno not leave Lucas’ side, she is also helping with his illness. Chester said, “She has the ability to notice his neurological changes. Now she reminds us when Lucas is about to have a seizure(疾病发作) or if his oxygen levels drop really low. She has saved him several times.”
Companion animals are beautiful things and they establish a bond that can’t be described without experiences. I know that I held my adopted dog a little closer after hearing this story. There are a lot of dogs out there that need good homes and that won’t be as lucky as Juno. So, if you think you’re prepared, you should consider giving one a nice home.
1.Chester wanted to find a service dog to __________.
A. protect Lucas from being injured

On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me.
The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peters’ backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.
I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own pajamas (睡衣),so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's pajamas.
As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time.. .”.Of course , I finally fell asleep.
The next morning , I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do — I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.
Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened — Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!”
The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I ,was spared. I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened.
1.The author had to spend the night at Peters' because ________.
A. she enjoyed her cake there

When people who are nature lovers worldwide wish all humans to realize the importance of their natural surroundings, many Australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life.
Julie, an Australian housewife in Brisbane is one such example. Even though autumn is approaching Australia's Brisbane in April, one can still watch colorful blooming (盛开的) flowers in Julie's little garden, as she tells that in her community,“Each of us has a beautiful yard. The whole community, from children to elderly people, takes care of the environment as if they are taking care of their own garden.”
“Gardening is the most popular club in our community,” she says. “A lot of retired people don't just regularly organize gardening lectures, but also personally visit families in the community to provide gardening training. So you can see that flowers continue to blossom(开花) in our gardens throughout the year.”
Talking about her people's sense of caring for the environment, Julie says when people in the community take along their dog, they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dog's waste. “In our community, you will never experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are walking on the grass,” says Julie with a smile. “Taking care of the dog's waste can also help to develop children's sense of responsibility!”
As to protecting water resources, the Australian government has made strict rules for families. Julie says, “We certainly would not use tap water to water the flowers!” She says almost every family in her community has a huge tank used to store rainwater, which is later used as the resource of all outdoor water use, including car washing and watering the garden.

"To educate a girl is to educate a thousand people," says Maimouna Samaké, a mother of six children(including five girls). "If you put one seed(种子) in the ground and rain comes, it will grow to produce many seeds."
Samaké, one of 2,000 residents, lives in a small village, Sounkala, in one of the world’s poorest countries. Now she has a chance to see this wish come true thanks to build On, an American non-profit organization that is building a school in her community.
For 17 years, build On has been sending American high school students overseas to create schools in places where literacy(文化)and formal education are usually out of reach. The organization has built about 300 schools in Mali, Malawi, Nepal, Senegal, Nicaragua and Haiti. Its goal is to get young Americans in mostly urban(城市) areas to get involved in education. At the same time it can bring literacy to children and adults in poor villages in the developing world.
Sounkala’s school only has about 70 children; mud floors, poor lighting, few desks and an absence of books mean that the school is not the most ideal learning environment. Therefore they certainly could use build On’s help.
Samaké hasn’t been to school, but she wants a better future for her five daughters, including Ramatou, 12, and Mariam, 10. "When a woman attends school, she will teach what she learns to her children," said Ramatou, who wants to become a doctor. "She will also know how to take better care of her family."
Build On tries to build schools for grades one to three. If things go well over those three years, they return to help build another school for grades four to six, and then set up evening adult literacy classes.
Ramatou and Mariam will not learn inside the walls of build On school since they are already in the sixth grade, but Samaké hopes that they will be able to attend evening classes to continue learning.
1.Which of the following aspects of build On is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Its history. B. Its goal.
C. Its approach. D. Its sources of money.
2.According to the text, build On is most likely to help a school _________.
A. in a village in a developed country
B. in an urban area in a developing country
C. in a rural area in a developing country
D. in an earthquake-stricken area in a developed country
3.What do we know about Samaké and her family?
A. Samaké only has daughters.
B. Samaké is well-educated.
C. Ramatou is a doctor.
D. Mariam is in the sixth grade.
4.The text mainly tells us about __________.
A. people’s education conditions in poor areas
B. a woman’s dream of going to school
C. an organization that helps build schools for people in poor areas
D. build On’s great contributions to education
