The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life-style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is file socially accepted thing to do.
A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health-related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Crapo drew a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity.
To "live a completely sedentary life style" (Paragraph. 1 ) in the passage means.
选项
A、to live an inactive life.
B、to live a decent life.
C、to live a life with complete freedom.
D、to live a life of vice.
答案
A
解析
本题考查句意理解。回答这一问题的关键是搞清sedentary的词义。这一词组的上下文谈论的是“如果我们愿意,我们可以……”接下来列举了我们可以做的五件事:一抽烟,二酗酒,三开车不系安全带,四想吃什么就吃什么,五就是要考的那一部分。从这四项看来都是具体的、日常的事情。题干下的四个选择项中能与所列四项列入一类的只有A 项“过不活动的生活”。而“live a sendentary life”这一词组的后面紧接着是“without any exercise”不运动,不锻炼)。由此可以肯定,A 为正确答案。
