A World Made Fat Han Longwei,a Junior 2 student at Jinan No. 1Middle School in Shandong,faces a challenge every day. A McDonald's restaurant has opened near his house. It's a great temptation (謗惑) because he loves hamburgers.

"I love fast food,so I always want to go into McDonald's whenever I pass it by ,"he said.

Han Longwei is 1. 57 metres tall and weighs 80 kilograms. He is just one of the many overweight students inChina.

A new Ministry of Education (教育部) report says about half of middle school students do not weigh a normal amount. The number of overweight middle school students has increased to nearly 24 percent. " Obesity (過度肥胖) may become a new student killer," said Liao Wenke,a ministry official.

Why have so many students started to become overweight?

Like many teens at his age,Han spends too little time exercising and too much time playing on his computer,watching TV and,of course,eating fast food.

Students often watch many advertisements on TV which make unhealthy food look delicious. Many students are crazy about snack food (快餐) such as fried chicken,hamburgers and coke. This type of food is very bad for you and makes you fat.

Not exercising enough and spending too much time watching TV are the other two main reasons why students are getting fatter. Students have to spend a long time studying and this makes it difficult for them to find time to exercise. The Ministry of Education report shows that middle school students spend about 10 hours a day sitting down and more than 13 hours each week watching TV.

What can happen to your health if you eat too much fatty food?

Eating too much fatty food can make your body produce a lot of cholesterol (膽固醇) . Too much cholesterol can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and some kinds of cancer (癌癥) .

Han Longwei would like to lose weight but finds it difficult. His father said that Han doesn't like to do certain sports. "Because he is fat,his classmates often laugh at him,"he said. Han is going to try and stop going to McDonald's. "I want to lose weight to improve my health,"he said,"I just wish I didn't like the taste so much!"


(   ) 11. Why does Han Longwei face a challenge every day?

   A. Because a McDonald's restaurant has opened near his house.

   B. Because he loves eating fast food.

   C. Because he wants to go into McDonald's as he is hungry.

   D. Because he is overweight.


(   ) 12. What does the underlined sentence " about half of middle school students do not weigh a normal amount" mean in the passage?

   A. About half of middle school students are too thin.

   B. About half of middle school students are too fat.

   C. About half of middle school students are either too thin or too fat.

   D. About half of middle school students are neither too thin nor too fat.


(   ) 13. All the following are the reasons for students getting fatter except         .

   A. not enough exercises   B. eating fast food

   C. too much homework   D. watching too much TV

(   ) 14. Why shouldn't we eat too much fatty food?

   A. Because it can make our body produce a lot of cholesterol.

   B. Because it will lead to many serious health problems.

   C. Because others will laugh at us.

   D. Because it will prevent us from doing certain sports.


(   ) 15. What does Han mean when he says "I just wish I didn't like the taste so much!"?

   A. He likes the taste so much that he can't get away from it.

   B. He didn't like the taste but now he does.

   C. He likes the taste but he didn't like it before.

   D. He hopes that one day he will like the taste.

He finally decided on perfume (香水) .All girls liked perfume. But what kind did she prefer? He couldn't ask her,because that would spoil the surprise.

"My favorite perfume!”said the delighted girl the next morning. "How did you know?" she asked,putting some perfume behind each ear.

c To love even if you are already 90 years old,to still have a dream to catch the clouds in the sky. It seems impossible to imagine that these words came from a woman at her age of 101. Most of us generally believe that people at that age would do nothing every day but wait for death to come nearer and nearer. However,that's not true for Grandma Toyo Shibata.

Have you ever thought of starting a new career writing poems at an age of 92? That's just what Grandma Toyo did.

Her first collection,Don't lose heart,has been ranked one of the bestselling books of 2010 in Japan,which sells far more than 1. 5 million copies.

Some say her poems are very like Tagore's. Though simple and relaxed,her poems sharply point out the nature of life. Grandma Toyo writes what she loves and prizes. And her works can easily catch the hearts of millions of readers.

You may think Grandma Toyo lived an easy and comfortable life. However,life didn't treat her that well. She had to take several different jobs to support her family at a very young age. She was one of those who witnessed the Second World War. It's hard to imagine how many difficulties and hardness she has got over all her life.

But Grandma Toyo never complains what life has done to her,yet often feels thankful for the kind people that have helped her. Though she's in her 100s,she still has strong passion of life. Grandma Toyo always brings mirrors and lipsticks with her. She thinks keeping beautiful is also important. Every day is new for her!
