Researchers from Imperial College London wrote the report.The researchers examined health records from about 20 million people for what they called the “worlds biggest obesity study.” For the study, the researchers compared the body measurements of almost 20 million adults. They found that from 1975 to 2020, global obesity rates for men increased from 3.2 percent of the population to 10.8 percent. For women, it rose from 6.4 percent to 14.9 percent.

A severely obese individual has a body mass index (or BMI) of over 35 kilograms per square meter. BMI is a way to measure a persons height compared to their weight. The study also found that about 1 percent of men and 2 percent of women are considered “morbidly (病态地)obese.” Such people have difficulty with simple activities because they are overweight. The researchers say there are now 55 million morbidly obese adults worldwide.Majid Ezzati is the chief writer of the report.

He adds that thisepidemic (流行病)of severe obesity is tooextensiveto bedealtwith just medications. He says coordinated global initiatives are needed to tackle this crisis. These initiatives include looking at the “price of healthy food compared to unhealthy food, or taxing high sugar and highly-processed foods (深加工食品).”The researchers warn if the problem of obesity worsens, 18 percent of men and 21 percent of women will be obese by 2025.21.

The book Mog and Me and Other Stories is mainly aimed at _.A. parents B. children C. businessmen D. politicianCIts the worst event in human beings nautical（航海的）history , six times more deadly than the Titanic . When the German cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes（鱼雷）fired from a Russian submarine in the final winter of World War II , more than 10,000 people mostly women , children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Nazi Germany were packed aboard .An ice storm had turned the decks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea as the ship tilted and began to go down . Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down . Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to claw their way aboard . Most people froze immediately . “ Ill never forget the screams , ” says Christa Ntitzmann , 87 , one of the 1,200 survivors . She recalls watching the ship , brightly lit , slipping into its dark grave-and into seeming nothingness , rarely mentioned for more than half a century .Now Germanys Nobel Prize-winning author Gtinter Grass has revived the memory of the 9,000 dead , including more than 4,000 children-with his latest novel Crab Walk , published last month . The book ,which will be out in English next year , doesnt dwell on the sinking : its heroine is a pregnant young woman who survives the catastrophe only to say later : “ Nobody wanted to hear about it , not here in the West ( of Germany ) and not at all in the East . ”The reason was obvious . As Grass put in a recent interview with the weekly Die Woche : “ Because the crimes we Germans are responsible for were and are so dominant , we didnt have the energy left to tell of our own sufferings . ” The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable and necessary .By unreservedly owning up to their countrys monstrous crimes in the Second World War , Germans have managed to win acceptance abroad , marginalize the neo-Nazis at home and make peace with their neighbors .Todays unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long , troubled history . For that , a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay . But even the most politically correct Germans believe that theyve now earned the right to discuss the full historical record . Not to equate German suffering with that of its victims , but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy .28. Why does the author say the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was the worst event in nautical history ?A. It was attacked by Russian torpedoes . B. Most of its passengers were frozen to death .C. Its victims were mostly women and children . D. It caused the largest number of casualties .(伤亡者)29. How does Gunter Grass revive the memory of the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy ?A. By presenting the horrible scene of the torpedo attack .B. By describing the ships sinking in great detail .C. By giving an interview to the weekly Die Woche .D. By illustrating the survival of a young pregnant woman .30. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “ marginalize ”A. highlightB. weakenC. strengthenD. fasten31. It can be learned from the passage that Germans no longer think thatA. they will be misunderstood if they talk about the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedyB. the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nations past misdeedsC. Germany is responsible for the horrible crimes it committed in World War IID. it is wrong to equate their sufferings with those of other countriesD.Taxpayers in America pay less in income tax than many Europeans, according to a Pew Research Center report.
