B
Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so idle (懶散的) that they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health center. The results were extremely surprising.
About one in six people questioned said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.
Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too.”
“If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most fundamental tasks.”
And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most idle city in the UK, with 75% questioned admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
The results bring serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease 
and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.
60．How many people questioned don't play with their children?
A．1280. B．More than 333. C．654. D．About 420.
61．The study leads us to believe that .
A．the pets in the UK will be in trouble if their owners keep their way of life
B．Glasgow people feel ashamed because they don't get enough exercise
C．British people are the laziest around the world
D．five sixths of the British children are healthy
62．How does the author convince the readers?
A．By presenting the results of a study. B．By providing answers to questions.
C．By interviewing some experts. D．By telling a story.
63．What is the passage mainly about?
A．A study of British people's laziness. B．
A study of British people's lifestyles.
C．The health service in the UK. D．The obesity problem in the UK.

The lights dimmed，the musical hall grew quiet and out walked the conductor (指揮) shiny and white and 4 feet and 3 inches tall.
ASIMO, a robot designed by Honda Motor Co., met its latest challenge Tuesday evening: Conducting the Detroit Symphony (底特律交響樂團), in a performance of “The Impossible Dream” from “Man of La Mancha”．
“Hello, everyone，” ASIMO said to the audience in a childlike voice, then waved to the orchestra. As it conducted, it perfectly mimicked (模仿) the actions of a conductor,
nodding its head at various sections and gesturing with one or both hands. ASIMO took a final bow to excited shouts from the audience. Later, cellist Yo－Yo Ma joined ASIMO onstage to receive an award for his efforts in music education.
Honda spokeswoman Alicia Jones says it is the first time ASIMO has conducted an orchestra, and it may be the first time any robot has conducted a live performance. But ASIMO has its limits. ASIMO's engineers programmed the robot to mimic Charles Burke, the Detroit Symphony's education director, as he conducted the piece in front of a pianist about six months ago. But it can't respond to the musicians.
“It's not a communicative device. It simply is programmed to do a set of gestures，” said Leonard Slatkin, the orchestra's musical director. “If the orchestra decides to go faster, there's nothing the robot can do about it. Hopefully, I keep that under control.”
But several musicians also said ASIMO was more realistic than they expected. “The movements are still a little stiff (僵硬的), but very humanlike, much better than I thought，” Hutchinson said.
1.What's the audience's response to ASIMO's performance?
|
A．Disappointed. |
B．Moved. |
|
C．Excited. |
D．Astonished. |
2.Whose conducting was ASIMO made to copy?
|
A．Yo－Yo Ma's. |
B．Charles Burke's. |
|
C．Leonard Slatkin's. |
D．Alicia Jones's. |
3.We can learn from the passage that ASIMO ________.
|
A．was designed and trained by Yo－Yo Ma |
|
B．can communicate with the audience freely |
|
C．only performs according to the designed programs |
|
D．can change its conducting style freely |
4.What would be the best title for this passage?
|
A．Detroit Symphony gives a good performance |
|
B．Honda robot conducts Detroit Symphony |
|
C．“The Impossible Dream” from Detroit Symphony |
|
D．Cooperation between Honda and Detroit Symphony |
