Obesity: the Scourge of the Western World
Obesity is rapidly becoming a new scourge of the western world, delegates agreed at the 11th 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 percent of the people are already affected, but in Japan only one percent. " But he said that there was hope for sufferers thanks to the new scientific discoveries and medication.
Professor Friedrich Hopichler of Salzberg said: "We are living in the new age(but)with the metabolism of a stone-age man. " "I have just been to the United States. It is really terrible. A pizza shop is springing 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. Hopichler said: "80 percent of all diabetics are obese, also 50 percent of all patients with high blood pressure and 50 percent with adipose tissue complaints. " "10 percent more weight means 13 percent more risk of heart disease. Reducing one’s weight by 10 percent leads to 13 percent 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 body-mass index is more than 40. That is equivalent to a weight of 116 kilograms for a height of 1. 70 meters. One should start earlier. "
Ludvik said that prevention should begin in school. "Child obesity(fat deposits)correlates with the time which children spend in front of TV sets. "
The consequences were only apparent later on. No more than 15 percent of obese people.lived to the average life expectancy for their population group.
From paragraph 6 we may infer that one of the effective measures suggested by Ludnik to prevent children from being obese would be______.
选项
A、not to permit them to watch TV at all
B、to tell them to spend less time watching TV
C、to turn off TV when they are in front of TV sets
D、to calculate accurately the time that a child spends watching TV
答案
B
解析
题意:从第6段我们可推断出Ludnik建议预防儿童肥胖症的一个有效的方法是……根据第六段“Child obesity(fat deposits)correlates with…”可知,Ludnik说儿童肥胖症(脂肪堆积)与儿童用来看电视的时间有关,所以B项较为合适。A项和C项太绝对,D项内容意思模糊。故本题选B。
