Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself ? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores?

A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so lazy that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

Just over 2,000 people were quizzed by independent researchers in the Britain’s largest health center. The results were very surprising.

About one in six people who were asked said if their control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

More than one third of those asked said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of 654 respondents (離婚被告) with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.

We know that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are very fat before they start school.

Dr Sarah, Dauncey, medical director of the center, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own health, but for their families, friends and pets, too.”

“If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basic tasks.”

And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the laziest city in the UK, with 75% asked thinking they do not get enough exercise, followed by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.

So there are some problems for the National Health Service, where fatness-related (相關(guān)的) illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on an increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

1.What does the underlined word “quizzed” mean?

A. questioned B. answered C. listened D. heard

A. they were often too busy to play with their children

B. they were often so tired that they couldn’t play with their children

C. they were often so sad that they didn’t want to play with their children

D. they were often ill and they couldn’t play with their children

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. All the adults in the UK are very lazy.

B. Half of the children are very fat before they go to school.

C. Pets will be in trouble if their owners don’t keep healthy.

D. All people in Glasgow feel ashamed because they don’t get enough exercise.

4. From the last paragraph, we can learn ______ if they keep lazy.

A. people may have heart disease

B. people can work at home all the time

C. people like shopping online

D. people don’t like climbing the stairs

5. What does the passage mainly talk about ?

A. The health service in the UK.

B. A study of British people’s lifestyles.

C. A study of British people’s laziness.

D. The fatness problem in the UK.
