We began to wonder if it is truly an epidemic，”Dr.Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, told the briefing.“We think that these findings reinforce(加强) the idea that obesity is not just an individual problem but a collective problem，”Christakis said.“People look around them and see people gaining weight and it might change their attitude about what constitutes an acceptable body size，”he added. “You might say its OK to be heavier.”1Whats the new finding of researchers in the passage?AObesity spreads from person to person.BObesity is popular with Americans.CObesity can be spread like a virus.DObesity is becoming an epidemic.2In what aspect do your fat friends have an impact on you?AThey may influence you how to choose a lover.BThey may assist you in forming a life value.CThey may change your attitudes towards obesity.DThey may help you understand what obesity is.3From the passage, we can infer that_.Aits better not to make friends with fat personsBobesity is a kind of disease that can spreadCmost Americans think obesity is a kind of beautyDit needs a collective effort to deal with obesityBNow many young people are travelling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first travelled alone when she was at college and believed that it was something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go travelling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when Im dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”4. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.B. Travelling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D. Travelling abroad helps people to find new things.5.Travelling alone is challenging because_. A. you have to make things on your own B. it will finally build your characterC. it is hard for you to prove yourself to othersD. you depend on yourself whatever happens 6. What can we infer about Chris Richardson?A. He started travelling at an early age. B. He was once shot in the arm.C. He used to work as a salesman. D. His website inspired others a lot.7. What is the best title for the passage?A. Travel Abroad B. Travel UnaccompaniedC. Travel Light D. Travel Wide and FarCEarthquakes are something that people fear.
