　　A cowboy wears a big hat and rides a strong horse under the wide, open skies of the American west. He can rope a cow and jump the top of a building onto a waiting horse. He is a man of few words, a man of lonely independence and complete freedom. That is the motion picture image of an American cowboy, but not all the images are true.

　　A real cowboy of the old west was simply a farm worker who rode a horse. He worked twelve or fourteen hours a day. The work was dirty, tiring and not well paid. He usually worked with eight or ten other men. He rarely carried a gun. Cowboys played a huge part in the cowboy lasted only thirty years from 1865 to 1895. The cattle farming grew to be a big business. New ways to keep meat fresh had beaten a big demand for beef cattle. At the same time, railroads had been built across much of the country. Cattle farming could raise cattle at low cost in the west and send them east by rail. The main job of the cowboy was to move the cattle the road behind a huge herd of cattle. Some newspaper reporters went west. They discovered the cowboys and began to write about them. Artists drew picture of cowboys for the magazines. Authors wrote stories and books about brave, lonely cowboys. Cowboys quickly became a sensation.

　　You can still find cowboys in the United States. Today there are one million of them. But the life of the cowboys has changed greatly since the late 1800s. Modern cowboys still ride horses, but they also use truck and helicopters. Most modern cowboys are young men, but today you can find cowgirls, too.

　　In the United States, 30 percent of the adult (成年人) population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is clear: we eat too much. But scientific evidence (证据) does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today. Yet they ate more food. In those days, people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch TV.

　　Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average (平均地) than thinner people. In fact, some investigations (调查) such as a 1979 study of 3545 London office workers, reports that fat people eat less than slimmer people.

　　Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stand ford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:

　　The more the men ran, the more fat they lost. The more they ran, the more they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.

1．What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?

[　　]

2．According to the information given in the passage, among 500 Americans, how many have weight problem?

[　　]

3．Which of the following words can take the place of the word “slim” in this passage?

[　　]

4．Compared with the adult American population today, the Americans of 1910 ________.

[　　]

A．ate more food and had more physical activities

B．ate less food but had more activities

C．ate less and had less physical exercise

D．had more weight problems
