Obesity Causes Global Warming
The list of ills attributable to obesity keeps growing: East week, obese people were accused of causing global warming.
This conclusion comes from Sheldon Jacobson of the University of Illinois, US, and a doctoral student, Laura McLay. Their study calculates how much extra gasoline is needed to haul fat Americans around. The answer, they say, is a billion gallons of gas per year. 【B1】______
There have been calls for taxes on junk food in recent years. 【B2】______We tax cigarettes partly because of their health cost, Schmidt said. Similarly, leading a lazy lifestyle will end up costing taxpayers more. US political scientist Eric Oliver said his first instinct was to laugh at these gas and fast food arguments. But such claims are getting attention.
At the US Obesity Societies annual meeting, one person correlated obesity with car accident deaths, and another correlated obesity with suicides. 【B3】______The funny thing was that everyone took it seriously, Oliver said.
In a 1960’s study, children were shown drawings of children with disabilities and without them, and a drawing of an obese child. They were asked which they would want for a friend? 【B4】______
Three researchers recently repeated the study using college students. Once again, almost no one, not even obese people, liked the obese person. Obesity was stigmatized, the researchers said.
But, researchers say, getting thin is not like quitting smoking. People struggle to stop smoking, and, in the end, many succeed. Obesity is different, but not because obese people don’t care. 【B5】______Genes also play a part.
A. Three researchers recently repeated the study using college students.
B. It means an extra 11 million tons of carbon dioxide.
C. The obese child was picked last.
D. US economist Martin Schmidt suggests a tax on fast food delivered to people’s cars.
E. Science has shown that they have limited personal control over their weight.
F. No one asked whether there was really a cause-and-effect relationship.
【B5】
选项
答案
E
解析
最后一段讲的是减肥跟戒烟不一样。在一定程度上受到基因的控制,因此很难。所以只有E是合适的:Science has shown that they have limited personal control over their weight.科学已经表明,胖子自己对体重的控制是有限的。
