Britons are the fattest people in Europe, with one of the world’s fastest obesity(肥胖症)growth rates, according to a leading international think-tank. The UK comes top out of 20 European Union nations, with almost one in four people so fat they could face an early grave. Levels of fatness in Scottish children are second worst in the world, behind the US, while children in England are eighth worst. Overall, in a study of citizens of the 33 richest countries, the UK is fifth behind the US, Mexico, Chile and New Zealand.
Developed nations are getting fatter, warns the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD)which produced the report. The Paris-based watchdog(监督机构)claims the growing costs of healthcare and wasted resources are making obesity a top priority for many governments.
Report author Franco Sassi, a former London School of Economics lecturer, puts the blame on modern lifestyles. He said that food is much cheaper than in the past, in particular food that is not particularly healthy, and people are changing their lifestyles. They have less time to prepare meals and are eating out more in restaurants. There is a frightening increase in the epidemic(流行病). We’ve not reached the destination yet.
According to a report, the lifespan of an obese person is up to 10 years shorter than that of a normal-weight person—the same loss of lifespan incurred by smoking. It shows 24 percent of men were rated obese and 25 percent of women in 2008 in the UK. In addition, 42 percent of men are overweight and 32 percent of women, meaning that up to two in three people have their health put at risk by their weight. In Scotland, latest figures show 35 percent of 12 to 15-year-olds are overweight or obese, compared with 29 percent of children aged 5 to 17 in England.
According to Franco Sassi, the reason for being fat is that______.
选项
A、the unhealthy foods are not as expensive as before
B、people don’t want to prepare meals
C、people don’t enjoy life in a right way
D、people want to have dinners outside of home
答案
C
解析
由题干中的Franco Sassi定位到第三段第一句。该句指出,报告的作者Franco Sassi将肥胖问题归咎于现代生活方式,由此可知,Franco Sassi认为人们肥胖的主要原因在于不好的生活方式,故答案为C)。B)和D)都只是不良生活方式的具体表现形式。
