Passage Five
Is it possible to be both fat and fit-not just fit enough to exercise, but fit enough to live as long as someone a lot lighter? Not according to a 2004 study from the Harvard School of Public Health which looked at 115,000 nurses aged between 30 and 55. Compared with women who were both thin and active, obese(overweight) but active women had a mortality rate that was 91﹪ higher. Though far better than the inactive obese (142% higher), they were still worse off than the inactive lean (5% higher). A similar picture emerged in 2008 after researchers examined 39,000 women with an average age of 54. Compared with active women of normal weight, the active but overweight were 54% more likely to develop heart disease.
That’s settled, then. Or is it? Steven Blair, a professor of exercise science at the University of South Carolina, describes the official focus on obesity as an “obsession… and it’s not grounded in solid data”.
Blair’s most fascinating study, in the Journal of American Medical Association in 2007, took 2,600 people aged 60 and above, of various degrees of fatness, and tested their fitness on the exercise device, rather than asking them to quantify it themselves. This is an unusually rigorous approach, he claims. Since many rival surveys ask participants to assess their own fitness, or ignore it as a factor altogether.
“There is an ‘association’ between obesity and fitness,” he agrees, “but it is not perfect. As you progress towards overweight, the percentage of individuals who are fit does go down. But here’s a shock: among classⅡ obese individuals [with a body mass index between 35 and 39.9], about 40% or 45% are still fit. You simply cannot tell by looking whether someone is fit or not. When we look at these mortality rates in fat people who are fit, we see that the harmful effect of fat just disappears: their death rate during the next decade is half that of the normal weight people who are unfit.”
One day-probably about a hundred years from now-this fat-but-fit question will be answered without the shadow of a doubt. In the meantime, is there anything that all the experts agree on? Oh yes: however much your body weighs, you’ll live longer if you move it around a bit.

Do not talk too much to the child during meal times, but let him go on with his food; and do not 72 him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food 73 he can hurry back to his toys.

The new year always brings an old problem for students who return to campus after a long winter holiday. As the spring semester begins, some students find themselves having to adapt to college life all over again - a process they refer to as "the holiday blues", or "post-holiday syndrome".
Students must return to the uncomfortable confines of life with roommates in a crowded dormitory. Just ask 19-year-old Jiang Cheng, who lived in a spacious, well-decorated home in Tianjin over the break. Now back in the university, Jiang is sleeping on a wooden board and a few blankets, which causes his body aching.

Part VI
Recently, with the rapid increase of automobiles in big cities of China, more and more people have become concerned about the problem of air pollution and energy consumption. Many people are worried that if we go on emitting tons of harmful gases and consuming huge quantities of energy, we will have to face serious air pollution and shortage of energy in the near future. Thus, it is the high time that we advocated low carbon living to protect our environment.
To live a low carbon life, it is highly important for every one of us to take immediate actions to reduce the emission of co2.. First, public transportations such as buses and subways should be encouraged, and the number and use of private cars should be restricted, for all motorized travel is carbon-intensive and cheaper. Second, some energy conservation habits should be formed including using efficient light bulbs, switching off all appliances when you′re not using them, and etc. Third, the use of disposable containers and plastic bags should be avoided.
As far as I’m concerned, I’ll live a low carbon life in the following ways. For one thing, I’ll take stairs instead of lifts and ride to work whenever I can. For another, I’ll bring my own bag when I go shopping in the supermarkets. I strongly believe if everyone can do a little to reduce the emission of co2, all together, we’ll make a big difference.
