Britons are the fattest people in Europe, with one of the world’s fastest obesity(肥胖症)growth rates, according to a leading international think-tank. The UK comes top out of 20 European Union nations, with almost one in four people so fat they could face an early grave. Levels of fatness in Scottish children are second worst in the world, behind the US, while children in England are eighth worst. Overall, in a study of citizens of the 33 richest countries, the UK is fifth behind the US, Mexico, Chile and New Zealand.
Developed nations are getting fatter, warns the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD)which produced the report. The Paris-based watchdog(监督机构)claims the growing costs of healthcare and wasted resources are making obesity a top priority for many governments.
Report author Franco Sassi, a former London School of Economics lecturer, puts the blame on modern lifestyles. He said that food is much cheaper than in the past, in particular food that is not particularly healthy, and people are changing their lifestyles. They have less time to prepare meals and are eating out more in restaurants. There is a frightening increase in the epidemic(流行病). We’ve not reached the destination yet.
According to a report, the lifespan of an obese person is up to 10 years shorter than that of a normal-weight person—the same loss of lifespan incurred by smoking. It shows 24 percent of men were rated obese and 25 percent of women in 2008 in the UK. In addition, 42 percent of men are overweight and 32 percent of women, meaning that up to two in three people have their health put at risk by their weight. In Scotland, latest figures show 35 percent of 12 to 15-year-olds are overweight or obese, compared with 29 percent of children aged 5 to 17 in England.
What can be learnt from the first paragraph?
选项
A、Britons and Americans are the fattest people in the world.
B、Most Britons are so fat that they will die early.
C、Britons have a fast obesity growth rate.
D、Scottish and British children are the same in fatness level.
答案
C
解析
由题干中的the first paragraph定位到第一段。该段第一句提到,据一家国际领先的智囊团提供的报告显示,英国人是全欧洲最胖的人群,而且英国是世界上肥胖症增长速度最快的国家之一。C)的意思和文章一致。
