　　Passage Two

　　Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook all by yourself? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do? A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so idle 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 startling. About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control 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 respondents 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 classified as obese 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, friends and evidently their pets too."And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most inactive 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.

　　19. What does the study in Britain focus on?

　　20. What did some people in the survey say they would do if their remote control was broken?

　　21. What is mentioned as a possible cause of British children's obesity?

　　22. Which city is found out to be the laziest one?

　　参考答案：

　　【小题19】C

　　【小题20】B

　　【小题21】A

　　【小题22】B

　　习题解析：

　　【小题19】此题是针对调查主题提问。短文指出这项研究是针对how lazy British people are进行的。因此答案为选项C。

　　【小题20】短文中提到英国对民众进行调查时，有六分之一的人说if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than getup，也就是说，他们什么也不做，遥控器坏掉的时候电视停在哪个频道，就会一直看下去。因此答案为选项B。

　　【小题21】此题是针对儿童肥胖的原因提问。短文中提到64% said they were often too tired to play with them ...one in six children in the UK are classified as obese...由此可知，造成儿童肥胖的部分原因是父母没有和孩子一起运动，因此答案为选项A。

　　【小题22】短文中明确指出And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK...由此可知，调查显示格拉斯哥是英国最为懒惰的城市，因此答案为选项B。
