Here

’

s a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly.

Scientists are increasingly warning that

sitting for a long time ----even if

you

also

exercise

regularly----

could

be

bad

for

your

health.

And

it

doesn

’

t

matter

where the sitting takes place---at the office, in the car or before a computer or TV

----just the overall number of hours it occurs. Several studies suggest people who

spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or

even die.

Elin

Ekblom-Bak

of

the

Swedish

School

of

Sport

and

Health

Sciences

suggested

that

health

officials

rethink

how

they

define

physical

activity

to

emphasize

the

dangers

of

sitting,

adding

that

while

health

officials

have

issued

guidelines

recommending

minim

um

amounts

of

physical

activity,

they

haven’t

suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position every

day.“After

four

hours

of

sitting,

the

body

starts

to

send

harmful

signals,”

Ekblom-Bak said.

Even

for

people

who

exercise,

spending

long

stretches

of

time

sitting

at

a

desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert said people who

exercise

every

day-----

but

still

spend

a

lot

of

time

sitting-----might

get

more

benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, rather than in a single activity.

Still, in a study that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen

years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether or

not they exercised. “We don’t have enough evidence yet to say how much sitting

is

bad,”

said

Peter

Katzmarzyk,

who

led

the

Canadian

study.

“

But

it

seems

the

more you can get up and interrupt this sedentary() behavior, the better.

”

Figures from a U.S. survey found Americans spend more than half their time

sitting,

from

working

at

their

desks

to

sitting

in

cars.

“People

should

keep

exercising

because

that

has

a

lot

of

be

nefits,”

Ekblom--Bak

said.

“But

when

they’re in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible,” she

said.

C5. What

’

s the best title of the passage?

A. Do more exercise regularly

B. Rethink physical activity

C. Sitting is deadly

D. A healthy gesture

C6. What can we infer about sitting too long from the text ?

A. It makes great difference where the sitting takes place.

B. The body starts to send harmful signals in no time.

C. It could probably do great harm to one

’

s health.

D. It will certainly lead to one

’

s death.

Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee

(

裁判

) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or

loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like

games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly

compare. They also enjoyed games that move in stages, in which each stage, the

choosing

of

leaders,

the

picking-up

of

sides,

or

the

determining

of

which

side

shall start, is almost a game in itself.

Grown-

ups

can

hardly

find

children’s

game

exciting,

and

they

often

feel

puzzled at why their kids play such simple game again and again. However, it is

found

that

a

child

plays

games

for

very

important

reasons.

He

can

be

a

good

player

without

having

to

think

whether

he

is

a

popular

person,

and

he

can

find

himself

being

a

useful

partner

to

someone

of

whom

he

is

ordinary

afraid.

He

becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular

games, that it is

his

place to

give orders, to

pretend to

be dead, to

throw a ball

actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.

It

appears

to

us

that

when

children

play

a

game

they

imagine

a

situation

under

their

control.

Everyone

knows

the

rules,

and

more

importantly,

everyone

plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that

every child has a chance to win.

is true about children when they play games?

A. They can stop playing any time they like.

B. They can test their personal abilities.
