are getting overweight. today some of the newborn babies are also born fat. it has been proved that the people living in the western developed countries are more likely to become overweight. there are a number of causes behind this. the people in the developed countries including the united states almost enjoy all the comforts of life. almost all the things in the lives of the people living in these countries are at their finger tips. a very limited amount of movement and physical effort is required to do any kind of job. because of the fact that these countries are quite developed，most of the jobs that the people take up are desk jobs. so the lifestyle of them is just around the office desk. most of the western developed countries are cold ones. nature demands that people eat the kinds of food so as to make them stand the coldness. therefore，wine，fatty dairy products，bread，junk food，and red meat become important diets in these countries. however，the blame cannot be entirely put on the unhealthy eating habits of the people. technology allows them to import almost all the food products that they do not grow. although some healthy foods are grown in the countries nowadays，the quantity is very limited. it is not enough to meet the demand. so when they are not available and fatty foods are cheaper, people prefer to go for the eating habit that they have always been following. 12. according to paragraph 2，most people in the developed countries do _. a. office jobsb. management jobsc. physical jobsd. tiring jobs13. according to the text, the reason why people in the western developed countries have to eat some fatty foods is that _. a. the unhealthy eating habit is not importantb. fatty foods cost less to buy and healthy foods are in shortage c. healthy foods are in shortage and fatty foods are abundant.d. they cant put the blame on their eating habits.14. the purpose of the author in writing the text is to _. a. warn us of our bad eating habits in the developed countriesb. remind us of the relation between food and weight gainc. inform us of the causes of weight gain in the developed countriesd. tell us that fatness in the developed countries is natural15. people in the western developed countries often _. a. carry umbrellas with them b. blame the fatness on the weatherc. grow a lot of healthy foods in their countries d. eat to protect

pockets. if our time is usefully employed, it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. our life is nothing more than our time. to kill time is therefore a form of suicide. we are shocked when we think of death, and we spare no pains, no trouble, and no expense to preserve life. but we are too often indifferent to the loss of an hour or of a day, forgetting that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live. our life is a brief period measuring some seventy or eighty years in all. but nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep; some years have to be spent over our meals; some in making journeys on land and voyages by sea; some in merry making. now if all these years were to be deducted(扣除) from the term over which our life extends, we shall find about twenty or thirty years at our disposal for active work. whoever remembers this can never willingly waste a single moment of his life. all time is precious，but the time of our childhood and of our youth is more precious than any other portion of our existence，for those are the periods when we can acquire knowledge and develop our capacities. if we allow these morning hours of life to slip away, we shall never be able to recover the loss. just as money laid out at interests doubles and trebles itself in time, so the precious hours of childhood and youth, if properly used, will yield us incalculable advantages.25. why does the author quote the proverb “time is money” in the beginning?a to explain the meaning of the proverbb to show how precious time isc to compare the importance of time and lifed to warn us not to waste time26. according to the author, which of the following is right?a a day or an hour wasted is so much life lost.b we shouldnt spend one third of our life sleepingc merry making is something unnecessary in our life.d we have less than twenty or thirty years to do active work27. what is the best title for the passage?a time is money b the value of time c how we spend our time d the morning hours of life28. in the last paragraph, the author warns that _.a one must do his best to acquire knowledge and develop its ability when youngb young people must deposit enough money to make large interests in the futurec the morning hours are important for the young and shouldnt be wastedd the time of childhood and youth should be used to acquire countless advantages.参考答案、25-28 baba
