That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis Dr Hallal and his colleagues have engaged in.There are common themes in different places. Unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men 34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Croatia, Finland, Iraq and Luxembourg, for example, move more than their male countrymen.Malta wins the race for most slothful country, with 72% of adults getting too little exercise, and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind, with 69%. In Bangladesh, just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly, six Americans in ten are active enough according to Dr Hallals study, compared with fewer than four in ten British. These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved (进化) to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature it would be impossible to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case. Actually lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span (寿命) as smoking.语篇解读：工业改革已经在某些程度上改变人们的生活方式，锻炼身体越来越成为人们的一种选择，而非迫切的需要，世界范围的人缺少足够的锻炼。1We may learn from Paragraph 1 that _.Athe decline of exercise rates is newly discovered Bthe study suggests 31% of female adults get too little exercise Cthe good enough data has been collected from only one countryDthe industrial revolution has changed the way people live to some degree解析：选D细节理解题。从第一段的“Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity.”可知工业改革已经在某些程度上改变人们的生活方式，选D。2According to the study, women of Luxembourg _.
