听力原文： Before the 20th century, the horse provided day to day transportation in the Uni

ted States. Trains were used only for long-distance transportation.

Today the car is the most popular sort of transportation in all of the United States. It has completely replaced the horse as a means of everyday transportation. Americans use their car for nearly 90 percent of all personal trips.

Most Americans are able to buy cars. The average price of a recently made car was $ 2050 in 1950, $ 2740 in 1960 and up to $ 4750 in 1975. During this period American car manufacturers set about improving their products and work efficiency. As a result, the yearly income of the average family increased from 1950 to 1975 faster than the price of cars. For this reason purchasing a new car takes a smaller part of a family's total earnings today.

What was the only use of trains before the 20th century？

A．The use for short-distance transportation.

B．The use for day to day transportation.

C．The use for long-distance transportation.

D．The use for transportation of precious things.

Obesity: the Scourge of the Western World

Obesity is rapidly becoming a new scourge of the western world, delegates agreed at the 11th European Conference on the issue in Vienna Wednesday to Saturday. According to statements before the opening of the conference -- of 2,000 specialists from more than 50 countries -- 1.2 billion people worldwide are overweight, and 250 million are obese.

Professor Bernhard Ludvik of Vienna General Hospital said, "Obesity is a chronic illness, fin Germany, 20 per cent of the people are already affected, but in Japan only one per cent." But he said that there was hope for sufferers thanks to the new scientific discoveries and medication.

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

Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer. Hopichler said, "Eighty percent of all diabetics are obese, also fifty per cent of all. patients with high blood pressure and fifty per cent with adipose tissue complaints." "Ten per cent more weight means thirteen per cent more risk of heart disease. Reducing one's weight by ten per cent leads to thirteen per cent lower blood pressure."

Another expert Hermann Toplak said that the state health services should improve their financing of preventive programs. "Though the health insurance pays for surgery (such as reducing the size of the stomach) when the body-mass index5 is more than 40. That is equivalent to a weight of 116 kilograms for a height of 1.70 meters. One should start earlier."

Ludvik said that prevention should begin in school. "Child obesity (fat deposits) correlates with the time which children spend in front of TV sets."

The consequences were only apparent later on. No more than fifteen per cent of obese people lived to the average life 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
