听力原文： About 70 million Americans are trying to lose weight. That is almost 1 out of every 3 people in the United States. Some people go on diets. This means they eat less of certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. But why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight？
Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat？
Almost 30 million Americans weigh at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight. In fact, the United States is the most overweight country in the world. "The stored fat of adult Americans weighs 2.3 trillion pounds," says University of Massachusetts anthropologist George Armelages. He says burning off that stored energy would produce enough power for 900,000 cars to go 12,000 miles.
Losing weight is hard work, but most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written. Each one promises to get rid of fat.
(30)
A．To cat nothing.
B．To work hard.
C．To have surgery.
D．To cost a lot of money.

Americans Eat Out More often and Less Healthfully
Although food cooked at home is far more healthful than meals eaten at restaurants, Americans are dining out more than ever, the U.S. Agriculture Department said Tuesday.Restaurant food accounted for([在数量，比例方面] 占) 39 percent of U.S. meals bought in 1996, up from 26 percent in 1970, the department said in a report, ``Away-From-Home Foods Increasingly Important to Quality of American Diet.'' ``While(尽管)the nutritional quality(营养质量)of foods consumed by Americans has improved overall, foods prepared at home are generally much more healthful than away-from-home foods,'' the department said. ``Despite nutritional gains at home, Americans will find it difficult to improve their diets because they purchase so many meals outside the home,'' the study said. While (尽管)the nutritional content of food prepared both at home and in restaurants has improved in recent years, food eaten out contains more of the nutrients Americans typically(一般地；通常)eat too much of, including fat and saturated fat(饱和脂肪), and less of what is lacking from most diets, such as calcium, fiber and iron. The department recommended nutrition education programs should place more emphasis on teaching U.S. consumers about how to order healthful meals when dining out. Improved diets have been found to prevent risk of heart disease, stroke(中风), cancer, diabetes(糖尿病), osteoporosis-related hip fractures(与骨质疏松症有关的髋关节骨折) and neural tube birth defects(神经管先天缺损). Osteoporosis-related hip fractures cost up to ＄10.6 billion each year in the United States in medical care expenses, missed work and premature deaths(早亡), the department said.

Culture unchangingly molds(影响) human biology. Culture encourages certain activities, discourages others, and sets standards of physical health and attractiveness. Sports activity, which is influenced by culture, help build phenotyep(具有共型的一类有机物). American girls are encouraged to pursue-and so, they do well in-competitive track and field, swimming, and diving. Brazilian girls are encouraged to avoid public activities. In Brazil fewer females swim, drive, and run than is the case in America. Culture standards of attractiveness also affect athletic activities. Americans nm or swim not just to compete but to keep trim(漂亮的) and fit. Brazil's beauty standards accept more fat, especially in female buttocks and hips. Years of swimming mold an enlarged upper torso, a massive neck, and powerful shoulders and back. Successful women swimmers tend to be big, strong, hard and bulky, but Brazilian culture says that women should be soft. A Brazilian beauty should have big hips and buttocks rather than big shoulders. So Brazil seldom sends female swimmers or runners to the Olympics. The countries that produce successful female swimmers are the United States, Germany, and Russia or any other one but not Latin countries including Brazil.
What is the main topic of the passage？
A．Brazil seldom sends female swimmers or runners to the Olympics.
B．Cultural standards of attractiveness also affect athletic activities.
C．The effects of culture on standards of physical health and attractiveness.
D．The effects of culture on human biology.

The love-hate relationship with food was examined in the documentary "Fat" which aired on November 3, and if there is any comfort for the more than 90 million overweight Americans it's that the rest of the world is also getting fatter.
"There is an enormous pressure on people to be thin and to be physically fit but at the same time there is a tremendous pressure and inducement to eat, "Or Kelly Brownell, professor of psychology at Yale University and a participant in the programme, said in an interview. "You will see a Baskin Robbins next to Weight Watchers. You'll see a Family Circle magazine with a delicious chocolate cake on the cover beside a diet article, "said Brownell. "At the same time as we have record levels of obesity, we have record levels of eating disorders too," he said.
The desire to eat fatty food came from a primitive survival instinct to store enough energy in good times to ensure survival when food was scare. But in a modern urban society, where fast food chains appear on almost every block, the instinct to eat far has begun to work against us.
The documentary claims that nowhere is the exposure to junk food more prevalent than in the United States, where the problem has been compounded by the increasingly sedentary modern lifestyle. It also says that members of Arizona's Pima Indian tribe are the fattest people in the fattest country on earth. Until recently the tribe lived a simple life, but in 1984 when the tribe won a gaming stream. Today the tribe is plagued by obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Just 800 kms south in Mexico, another branch of the Pima tribe continues to live a traditional life and eats a traditional diets. These Pima have none of the problems of their American counterparts, who are on average 27kgs heavier.
Part of the problem, according to Brownetl, is the intense advertising of junk food in the United States. The average American child sees thousands of TV commercials each year, most of which advertise fast food, candy and sodas.
The food environment has become so "toxic" according to the documentary, that some US schools even offers fast food such as McDonald's and Burger King in school cafeterias.
"If there is any comfort for the more than 90 million overweight Americans it's that the rest of the world is also getting fatter." What does this sentence mean？
A．Overweight Americans will be glad to see the rest of he world is getting fatter.
B．Actually there is no comfort at all for overweight Americans.
C．The rest of the world had sympathy on overweight Americans.
D．Overweight Americans dislike thin person.
