听力原文：Junk food, too little exercise and an increasingly sedentary life style, all well

听力原文： Junk food, too little exercise and an increasingly sedentary life style, all well-known factors in the spiraling problem of childhood obesity in Britain. The causes are clear, but the government's efforts to tackle the problem are inefficient; confused and under-resourced ac-cording to Today's Report.

Obesity costs the NHS one billion pounds a year, and blights the health of up to one million children under 16. Doctors say this could be the first generation for decades to die before their parents unless urgent action is taken. Yet, progress is so slow according to Today's Report that the government risks missing its target of halting obesity in children under 11 by 2010. The Health Care Commission, Audit Commission and National Audit Office're pointing out it's taken 31 experts 18 months to agree how to measure obesity. The report says there are many initiatives to tackle the problem, but no specific funding. It complains that many organizations involved are unclear about their roles, causing potential confusion and wasting resources. And it adds that there are too few frontline staff to deal with the complex problem of obesity.

According to the passage, what cause(s) the problem of childhood obesity in Britain？

A．Junk food.

B．Too little exercise.

C．An increasingly sedentary life style.

D．All the above.

Obesity (肥胖): the Scourge (祸害) of the Western World

Obesity is rapidly becoming a new scourge of the western world, delegates agreed at the llth 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. In 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 comer. We have been overran by fast food and Coca-Cola-ization."

Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer. Hopichler said," Eighty per cent 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 index 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.

scourge n. 天灾;祸害

obesity n. 肥胖症

overrun vt. 侵扰；蹂躏

obese adj. 肥胖症

Lucas said the effects of breastfeeding on blood pressure and cholesterol later in life are greater than (57) adults can do to control the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, other than taking drugs.
