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.

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

听力原文: The United States has the largest economy in the world (32). The size of an economy is usually described in terms of the Gross Domestic Product. The Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, is the value of all goods and services produced in a country in a year. In 2004, the United States had a GDP estimated at close to 12 million million dollars. What percentage of that was agriculture (32) (33)? The government says just 9/10 of one percent (33). Farm workers make up an even smaller percentage of American labor: 7/10 of one percent.
In 2004, almost 20 percent came from industry--and almost 80 percent came from services. The number of farms continues to decrease in America, whereas farm earnings have risen to record levels in recent years. Agricultural productivity continues to increase because of new technology and methods(34). But the Agriculture Department estimates that 9 percent of farm income last year came from government payments. That number is expected to decrease in the future.
Exports have provided American farmer farmers with an average of about 25 percent of their money for the last fifteen years. Canada and Mexico are two of the three biggest markets for American farmers. In fact, in 2002, Canada replaced Japan for the first time as the top buyer of American agricultural exports(35). The Department of Agriculture says exports to the European Union are slowing. But exports to other countries within the Americas and to Asia are growing.

A.American agriculture.

The newsstands are part of the city's efforts to improve the appearance of streets and neighborhoods. The newsstands' design, featuring large glass window, will help the customers to see what is on sale at a glance.
An electrical screen on the newsstands will announce immediately the arrival of. the latest papers. There will be 1,000 newsstands by the end of the year. The newly formed company will manage the stalls. According to sources from the company, over 80 percent of the people hired to operate the stands will be recruited from laid-off workers. This means the project will help ease the city's unemployment pressure, sources said.
All recruited will undergo a training programme and be dressed in green uniform. Municipal Vice Party Secretary Gong Xueping said the installation of the 100 stands was just the first step towards the objective of setting up 1,000 stands in the city by the end of the year.
He said the creation of the stalls would be of particular significance to the enhancement of the city's spiritual civilization. He also made some suggestions regarding the location, design and construction of the new stands and the renovation of the existing newsstands.
