武汉市2014高考英语阅读理解训练题（3）附答案 if you really want to win the weight-loss battle, learn to strike a balance-not just on your plate, but also in how you spend your free time. a new study finds that people who spend more time in front of computers have a higher obesity (肥胖) risk, even if they think they get enough exercise during the week. this study found only an association between weight and computer use. “is it that you become overweight because you use the internet a lot, or is it that overweight people simply use the internet more?” says corneel vandelanotte, phd, postdoctoral research fellow at central queensland university. its hard to say. but one likely explanation, she adds, is that “people who use the internet a lot also engage more in other sedentary (需要久坐的) behavior, and that is probably the main cause of their being more likely to be overweight.” formal exercise can only partly make up for all the time you spend sitting around. “if i go running three times a week for one hour, but watch tv the rest of my time, i will still be very sedentary, ” says vandelanotte. “i might be fit, which is definitely a good thing, but it might also be that im still not spending enough energy on a daily basis.” its all about striking a balance between sitting down and moving around. here are a few ways to keep computer time from undermining a healthy lifestyle: set a timer for your computer use, television watching or anything that keeps you on the sofa. set time limits that will allow you to enjoy the websites or tv shows you like, without leaving time for unnecessary channel surfing that keeps you off your feet. be an active viewer. when youre watching tv, spend at least some of the time doing something physical.8.according to the study, too much computer use _. a. decides the weight-loss battle b. may cause users overweight c. should be replaced by exercise d. may cause you to eat too much9. in vandelanottes opinion, the frequent users of the internet_. a. often sit at home b. lack formal exercise c. tend to stay inactive d. are overweight people10. in paragraph 3, vandelanotte takes herself as an example to _. a. prove good health is important b. tell about her habit of exercise c. show how she makes good use of her spare time d. stress the balance between movement and sitting11. what does the underlined word “undermining” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
