A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so idle(闲散的)they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2,000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain’s largest health charity. The results were shocking. About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control (遥控器)was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up. More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 questioned people with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them. This led the report to conclude that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classifted as obese(肥胖)before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, too. If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the simplest tasks.”
And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the laziest city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
The results pose serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.
1. According to the researchers at Nuffield Health, about ________ people who were surveyed would not run to catch a bus.

A. they stay too long a time with their pets B. they spend too much time watching TV
C. their parents don’t play with them much D. they suffer from obesity-related illnesses
3. ________ is the second laziest city in the UK.
A. Scotland B. Glasgow C. Birmingham D. Nuffield

What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I 21 an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against 22 of 100, scored 160.No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me.
All my life I've been registering scores like that, 23 I have the complacent(洋洋自得的) feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so too. Actually, though, don't such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by people who 24 the intelligence tests - people with intellectual bents(天分) similar to mine?
For instance, I once had an auto-repair man, who, on these intelligence tests, could not 25 have scored more than 80,by my estimate. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always fixed it.
Well,then,suppose my auto—repair man 26 questions for some intelligence tests.By doing every one of them I'd prove myself a 27 .In a world where I have to work with my 28 ,I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto—repair man 29 .He had a habit of telling 30 .One time he said. “Doc, a deaf and dumb man 31 some nails.Having entered a store,he put two fingers together on the counter and made 32 movements with the other hand.The clerk brought him a hammer.He 33 his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering.The clerk 34 him some nails.He picked out the right size and left.Well,Doc,the 35 man who came in was blind.He wanted scissors. 36 do you suppose he asked for them?" I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers.He burst out laughing and said,“Why, you fool,he used his 37 and asked for them.” Then he said smugly, "I've been 38 that on all my customers today." "Did you catch many?" I asked. "Quite a few," he said, "but I knew 39 I'd catch you." "Why is that?" I asked. "Because you're so goddamned educated, Doc, I knew you couldn't be very 40 ." And I have an uneasy feeling that he had something there.
