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.
1.What did the researchers pay special attention to in the study? (No more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
2.Please explain the underlined word “severe” in English. (No more than 3 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
3.What are the researchers concerned? (No more than 15 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
4.What should parents do to help children fight against obesity?(No more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
5.What is the best title for the passage? (No more than 10 words)

On a hot summer’s day Jonathan and his classmates were anxiously sitting in their classroom, waiting for the final bell of the day to sound. Jonathan prayed that the bell would ring soon, because he wanted to quickly run home before the three huge, fat, smelly bullies (地痞) could see him. Every day the three bullies would wait there for an innocent school kid to tease and bully.
The moment the bell sounded, Jonathan rushed out with his bag. He sped off across the school field and out onto the walkway. However, all of his effort was useless because leaning on a fence were the three bullies.
Jonathan thought about crossing the street next to him, but it would be too risky. So he hid behind a small bush in hope that the three would leave. But he moved too quickly and was seen by one of the bullies. They approached him then.
One bully grabbed Jonathan by the collar of his shirt and grabbed the money out of Jonathan’s pocket and put it into his own.
“G-Give it back”, Jonathan weakly said.
“G-G-Give it b-back”, mocked (为了取笑而模仿) the bully. The other two bullies laughed.
Beside them was a small dirty stream.
“Let’s throw him in there”, said one of the bullies.
Then they threw Jonathan into the stream and walked off down the walkway. Jonathan shakily picked himself up out of the creek and continued his walk home with his head down and tears in his eyes. He dared not cry because he knew boys didn’t cry.
Jonathan arrived at his house where his mother was waiting outside the front door with an angry look on her face.
“Why are you so late and dirty?” she asked curiously.
“I slipped”, he quietly replied.
1.Why did Jonathan run home immediately after school?
A. Because his mother was strict with him.
B. Because he was afraid of his mother.
C. Because he had to escape being bullied
D. Because he didn’t like to go to school.

A. They ran after him till they caught up with him.
B. They waited on Jonathan’s way home by chance.
C. One of the bullies noticed Jonathan hiding himself.
D. Jonathan was given away by one of his classmates.

In the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute and the tap is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit(IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.
Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.
“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.
Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse. Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.
A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.
1.The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph3) most probably means______.
A.perfection B.fault C.preference D.advantage
2.Since the new system has performed, ______ of water can be saved.
A.one half B.one third C.a quarter D.two thirds
3.It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A.the new operation can solve the water crisis.
B.The university has saved a lot of water by using the new system.
C.a similar operation has been set in other universities.
D.The new operation can raise students’ environmental awareness system.
4.In which column can you find this passage?
A.People. B.Society C.Campus Life. D.Lifestyle
