Obesity（肥胖）in the Western World
Obesity is rapidly becoming a new problem of the western world,delegates agreed at the 1 1 th European Conference on the issue in Vienna Wednesday to Saturday.According to statements before the opening of the conference-of 2,000 specialists from more than 50 countries-1.2 billion people worldwide are overweight, and 250 million are obese.
Professor Bernhard Ludvik of Vienna General Hospital said:"Obesity is a chronic illness.In Germany, 20 per cent of the people are already affected,but in Japan only one per cent."But he said that there was hope for sufferers thanks to the new scientific discoveries and medication.
Professor Friedrich Hopichier of Salzberg said:"We are living in the new age(but)with the metabolism （新陈代谢）of a stone-age man."" I have just been to the United States.It is really terrible.A pizza shop is spnnglng up on every corner.We have been overrun by fast food and Coca-Cola-ization."
Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer.Hopichier said:"Eighty percent of all diabetics are obese,also fifty per cent of all patients with high blood pressure and fifty per cent with adipose （脂肪的）tissue complaints." " Ten per cent more weight means thirteen per cent more risk of heart disease. Reducing one's weight by ten per cent leads to thirteen per cent lower blood pressure."
Another expert Hermann Toplak said that the state health services should improve their financing of preventive programs."Though the health insurance pays for surgery(such as reducing the size of the stomach) when the bodymass index is more than 40.That is equivalent to a weight of 1 1 6 kilograms for a height of 1.70 meters.One should start earlier."
Ludvik said that prevention shoald begin in school."Child obesity(fat deposits)correlates（与……相关）with the time which children spend in front of TV sets."
The consequences were only apparent later on.No more than fifteen per cent of obese people lived to the average life expectancy for their population group.
选项 Which of the following is true about obesity in Paragraph 2?
A:People in Japan needn't worry about obesity.
B:Obesity is a disease that lasts for a long time.
C:20%of the people in the world are overweight.
D:Obesity should be cured with new medication.
答案B
解析由第二段内容可知，日本仅有1%的人患有肥胖症，但并未提到日本的民众不用担心肥胖症，故A项错误。同样，德国有20%的人患有肥胖症，而不是说全球，故C项错误。又由该段最后一句可知，新的科学发现以及新的药物给肥胖症患者带来了希望，而并未说肥胖症就应该用新的药物治疗，故D项错误。文章第二段中提到，肥胖症是一种慢性病。故B项正确：
由文章第四段第二句可知，Hopichier教授说80%的糖尿病患者都患有肥胖症，但并未说糖尿病主要是由肥胖症引起的，故可排除A项。又根据此句后半句可知，有50%的糖尿病患者血压高，而不是说50%的高血压患者抱怨肥胖，故又可排除B项。同时，文中只是说美国的披萨店到处可见，并未说其提供的快餐不可口，故又可排除C项。又由文章第四段第三句可知，该教授认为：体重每增加10%，心脏病发生的几率将会增加13%。故本题选D。
由文章第五段第一句可知，该名专家认为，公共医疗卫生服务应该提高对预防机制的投资，故选B。
由文章第四段第二句话可知，80%的糖尿病人是肥胖者，故选A。
consequence是含义为“后果，结果”。文章后半部分都在讲各方面专家所给出的减肥建议，倒数第二段更是提出防止肥胖要从孩子抓起。"Ludviksaidthatpreventionshouldbegininschool.""Childobesity(fatdeposits)correlates（与……相关）withthetimewhichchildrenspendinfrontofTVsets.”但减肥的效果如何，人们只能拭目以待。所以根据逻辑关系，应该选A。
