Malnutrition (營(yíng)養(yǎng)失調(diào))remains a serious problem for India. But a new study shows that India’s leading causes of death now also include diseases related to obesity （肥胖）such as heart disease.
India’s National Family Health Survey shows that more than twenty percent of Indians living in cities are overweight or obese. And in the northwestern state of Punjab, that is true for almost forty percent of women.
Aradhna Tripathi is a business professional in New Delhi. She said, “ Eating is the most important thing in any Indian household and how you show your love and gratitude(感激) for a person is through the kind of food you serve him. And the kind of lifestyle we are leading is one of the reasons why we have the number of obese people increasing every day.
But Aradhna Tripathi says she has decided to lose weight. Her mother and grandmother are also diabetic(患糖尿病的). In fact, the International Diabetes Federation says India is now the diabetes capital of the world. Researchers say Indians store more body fat per kilogram than Europeans. That means obese Indians are even more at the risk of diabetes than other people.
Doctor Anoop Misra at Fortis Hospital in New Delhi says the risk of diabetes is crossing social and economic lines. Five years ago, he says, obesity and diabetes were limited to India’s richest people, but now things have changed.
But Doctor Misra is hopeful that the spread (蔓延，傳播)of obesity can be slowed. And he says it must start in schools by giving all Indian children the same instruction on physical activity and diet.
The World Health Organization says China is also moving up in obesity rates. The estimate (估計(jì)) has reached about five percent countryside and as high as twenty percent in some cities.
【小題1】What is this passage mainly about?

A．Obesity has become a big killer in India.
B．Heart disease is troubling people in India.
C．People in India live a very unhealthy life.
D．Malnutrition remains a serious problem in India.
【小題2】According to Aradhna Tripathi , one of the causes of the obesity problems is_________.
A．.the development of economy
B．the change of Indians’ lifestyle
C．Indians’ attitude （態(tài)度）towards eating
D．Indians’ attitude towards obesity.
【小題3】 What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5?
A．Most wealthy people in India are overweight.
B．Five years ago, few people in India were overweight
C．Few poor people are diabetic for economic reasons.
D．Now even the poor in India suffer from obesity.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010年黑龍江省哈三中高二下學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ) 題型：閱讀理解

It's time you started eating sensibly. Experts at the first Chinese Students Nutrition and Health Festival in Kunming last week listed eight bad eating habits.
●Watching television while having meals or snacks.
Doing this means you don't pay attention to your food, forget how full you are, and so overeat. It can also cause digestion (消化) diseases. One way to avoid this is only to eat in certain areas of your home.
● Replacing meals with snacks.
Many students think that eating small snacks can help them diet. But it often results in overeating and health problems related to a lack of vegetables, carbohydrates (碳水化合物),proteins and vitamins. Snacking only works if it is well planned and includes healthy foods such as nuts, vegetables, fruit and yogurt.
●Having drinks rather than water.
Fizzy (有氣泡的) drinks and fruit juice are usually high in calories and sugar, which can
cause weight problems. Water is important in making your brain cells and every organ in your body work properly. For your body to burn fat, it needs at least eight glasses of pure water a day. Liquids like soda and coffee actually take water away from your body.
●Refusing to drink milk.
Milk is the best natural food—it provides you with protein, which makes your bones strong and teeth healthy.
● Choosing meat and certain vegetables over others.
Different foods provide different kinds of nutrition. If you don't have a balanced diet, this can result in malnutrition (營(yíng)養(yǎng)失調(diào)) and a weaker body.
●Eating in front of the computer and staying there after meals.
Take a walk after eating and it helps your stomach digest the meal.
●Buying from roadside snack bars.
If you shop at these places, be careful—many are not clean enough.
● Eating throat tablets as if they were sweets.
If you eat throat tablets when you have no throat disease, they may affect the bacteria in your mouth and cause real throat problems.
【小題1】______ can possibly cause digestion problem.

A．Eating while sitting in front of TV or computer
B．Eating throat tablets as if they were sweets.
C．Choosing certain kinds of food over others.
D．Buying from roadside snack bars.
【小題2】Why can't soft drinks be drunk in place of water when you feel thirsty?
A．They help brain cells work properly.B．They make your body sick.
C．They take water away from your body.D．They supply energy for your body.
【小題3】Which of the following is NOT the habit that will possibly result in a lack of nutrition?
A．Often eating small snacks.B．Never drinking milk.
C．Always eating the same kinds of food. D．Staying in front of a computer after the meal.
