Obesity : the Scourge of the Western World

Obesity is rapidly becoming anew scourge of the western world, delegates agreed at the llth Eu-ropeanConference on the issue in ViennaWednesday to Saturday. According to statements before the opening of theconference-of 2, 000 specialists from more than 50 countries-l. 2 billionpeople worldwide are overweight, and 250 million are obese.

Professor Bernhard Ludvik of Vienna General Hospital said: "Obesity is achronic illness. In Ger- many. 20 percent of the people are already affected,but in Japan only one percent. " But he said that there was hope forsufferers thanks to the new scientific discoveries and medication.

Professor Friedrich Hopichlerof Salzberg said: "We are living in the new age (but) with the me-tabolism of a stone-age man. " "I have just been to theUnited States.It is really terrible. A pizza shop is springing up on every corner. We havebeen overrun by fast food and Coca-Cola-ization. "

Many of the experts stressedthat obesity was a potential killer. Hopichler said: "80 percent of alldiabetics are obese, als0 50 percent of all patients with high blood pressureand 50 percent with adi- pose tissue complaints. " "10 percent more weightmeans 13 percent more risk of heart disease. Reduc- ing one's weight by 10percent leads t0 13 percent lower blood pressure. "

Another expert HermannToplak said that the state health services should improve their financing ofpreventive programs. "Though the health insurance pays for surgery (suchas reducing the size of the stomach) when the body-mass index is more than 40.That is equivalent to a weight of 116 kilo- grams for a height of l. 70 meters.One should start earlier. "

Ludvik said that preventionshould begin in school. "Child obesity (fat deposits) correlates with the time which children spend in front of TVsets. "

The consequences were onlyapparent later on. No more than 15 percent of obese people lived to the averagelife expectancy for their population group.

It is estimated that there are _ people suffering from obesity in the world

A.250,000,000

B.1,200,000,000

C.1,450,000,000

D.950,000,000

The World Health Organization says obesity rates are rising in Pacific island countries.So,too,are

health problems linked to being overweight.

The WHO says a major reason for the rising obesity rates is an increase in imported foods.It says

many Pacific islanders have replaced their traditional diets of vegetables and fruits with imported

processed foods.

Dr.Temu Waqanivalu is with the World Health Organization's South Pacific office in Suva,Fiji.He

says many of the imported products lack nutritional value.

Temu Waqanivalu said:"In some of the places,you'd be amazed to see how a bottle of Coke is

cheaper than a bottle of water.I think that represents the kind of offenvironment we've created that

doesn't really encourage or make lifestyle choices an easy choice for the population."

And a lack of physical activity among many Pacific islanders only adds to the obesity problem.

The WHO says more than 50 percent of the population is overweight in at least ten Pacific island

countries.The rate is as high as 80 percent among women in the territory of American Samoa.Fiji had

the lowest obesity rate at 30 percent.

In all,almost ten million people live in Pacific island countries.The WHO estimates that about 40

percent of them have health disorders related to diet and nutrition.

Diabetes rates are among the highest in the world.Fortyseven percent of the people in American

Samoa have diabetes.So do 44 percent of the people in Tokelau,a territory of New Zealand.

By comparison,the diabetes rate is 13 percent in the United States,a country that has its own

problems with rising obesity.

Officials also note an increase in nutritional problems like anemia and not enough vitamin A in the

diets of Pacific islanders.Dr.Waqanivalu says treating conditions related to obesity and diet puts

pressure on limited health resources and budgets.

1.  The main reason why obesity rates are rising in many Pacific islanders is ________.

A.  the change of society

B.  the change of eating habits

C.  the change of life style

D.  lack of exercise

2.  Imported products lack nutritional value but people love to buy them because ________.

A.  they are cheap

B.  they are popular

C.  they are tasty

D.  they are convenient to get

3.  How many people living in Pacific island countries have health disorders？

A.  1 million.

B.  4 million.

C.  6 million.

D.  10 million.

4.  The percentage of diabetes rates in American Samoa is ________.

A.  optimistic

B.  steady

C.  worrying

A new study has identified pollution as the world’s No. 1 killer. Study organizers say pollution is responsible for more premature deaths than war, (1) , natural disasters, smoking and disease.

The researchers say leaders in those countries are more concerned about building their economies and public services than environmental (7) . Some of the most affected countries are Bangladesh, China, Haiti, India, Pakistan, North Korea and South Sudan. But Richard Fuller, another writer of the report, said pollution is tied to slow economic development in both rich and poor nations. He said “There is this myth that finance ministers still live by, that you have to let industry pollute or else you won’t develop.

It says the actual number is likely to be much higher. A separate study by the World Bank said reducing pollution must be a top goal.

阅读理解。
One of the greatest killers in the Western world in heart disease. The death rate (率) from the disease

has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about

four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Mdical experts know that people can reduce their chances

of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying

more attention to reducing stress (压力) in their work.

However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the

disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart

disease. Instead of supporting such programs,however, the U.S. health-care system is spending large sums

of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis (强调) on

treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten

to fifteen years. In this time,modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques.

Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky (有风险的) a few years ago are now

performed every day in U.S.hospitals. The result had been a huge increase in heart surgery.

Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out

that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts

interest and money away from the question of prevention.Second, it causes the costs of general hospital

care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they

must try to recover the money they have spent.To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just

those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are

encouraged to perform surgery-even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary-because the

equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was

often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example,

only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However,more than 100,000 of these

operations are performed in the United States every year.

1. What effect has modern technology had on medicine？
A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.

B. It has helped save the lives of most patients

C. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgeries

D. It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease

2. "To do this" (in Paragraph 3)means _____.
A. to help patients recover

B. to increase the number of heart surgeries

C. to get back the money spent on the equipment

D. to buy new equipment for the treatment to heart disease

3. The author would agree that _____.
A. more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease

B. heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions

C. modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before

D. the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease

4. What would be the best title for the passage？
A. The Greatest Killer in the West

B. Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent

C. Modern Technology and Heart Surgery

D. Heart Surgery:Advantages and Disadvantages
