24、. Based on your extraordinary career and your commitment to【C1 】_health disparities among underserved populations, no doubt your tenure will be marked by great progress toward the goal of improved health for all Americans. Each United States Surgeon General has the unique opportunity to create his o
25、r her own lasting legacy. Dr. Koop focused on smoking prevention. Dr. Satcher, one of【C2】_mentors, released the first comprehensive report on mental health. We encourage you to build your own legacy【C3 】_concept of prevention through healthy lifestyles a legacy that is both sustainable and cost-effe
26、ctive. This also is an important issue for Members of Congress, many of whom believe that【C4】_prevention and wellness initiatives will bring down costs and help people lead healthier lives. The American College of Sports Medicine(ACSM)would be honored to partner with you on such an initiative. ACSM,
27、 the largest sports medicine and exercise science organization in the world,【C5 】_ready to work with you to increase healthy behaviors especially physical activity throughout the life span. During this crucial period of health system reform, weve been advocating for strategies that support preventiv
28、e medicine not just through diagnostic testing,【C6】_promoting healthy, active behaviors that all Americans can achieve at little or no cost. In fact, ACSM already has a working agreement with the Surgeon Generals office, focused on a series of healthy-lifestyle public service announcements for our E
29、xercise Is MedicineTM program, a program that【C7】_calls on doctors to encourage their patients to incorporate physical activity and exercise into their daily routine. As you are【C8】_aware, physical activity can prevent and treat a host of chronic conditions such as heart disease, type II diabetes, a

Anytime either before or after your appointment is confirmed, we would【C10 】_the opportunity to meet with you and your

34、erconsumption and excess, obesity is hard to beat. The increased availability of high-fat, high-sugar foods, along with more sedentary lifestyles, has helped push the number of obese people worldwide to beyond 400 million, and the number of overweight to more than 1.6 billion. By 2015, those figures
35、 are likely to grow to 700 million and 2.3 billion respectively, according to the World Health Organization. Given the health implications increased risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some cancers anything that helps people avoid piling on the pounds must be a good thing, right?Those who ag
36、ree will no doubt welcome the growing success of researchers striving to develop “diet pills“ that provide a technical fix for those incapable of losing weight any other way. Last week a study published in The Lancet showed that tesofensine, which works by inducing a sense of fullness, is twice as e
37、ffective as any other drug at enabling patients to lose weight.There is no question that advances such as this are good news for those with a strong genetic predisposition to obesity. But for the rest of us it is dangerous to see treatment as a more effective solution than prevention. There are seve
38、ral reasons for this. For a start, the traditional ways of maintaining a safe weight, such as limiting what you eat, increase consumption of fruit and vegetables and taking more exercise, are beneficial for our health in many ways.Second, overindulgence in fatty foods has implications for the entire
39、 planet. Consider the deleterious environmental effects of the rising demand for meat. As demonstrated in our special issue on economic growth, technological fixes will not compensate for excessive consumption. Third, interfering with the brain circuits that control the desire for food can have an i
40、mpact on other aspects of a persons personality and their mental and physical health.We need two approaches: more research into the genetics of obesity to understand why some people are more susceptible, and greater efforts to help people avoid eating their way to an early death. Cynics will say wev
41、e tried education and it hasnt worked. That is defeatist: getting people to change their behavior takes time and effort, held back as we are by our biological tendency to eat more than we need, and by the food industrys ruthless opportunism in exploiting that.Drugs will be the saving of a few as a l
42、ast resort. But the global obesity problem is one of lifestyle, and the solution must be too.61 In the first paragraph all the figures surrounding obesity reflect_.（A）a close link between growing obese and developing disease（B） the inevitable diseases of modern civilization（C） the war against the ep
43、idemic we have lost（D）the urgency of the global phenomenon62 When it comes to the recently reported diet pills, the author would say that_.（A）drugs are no replacement of prevention（B） the technical advance is not necessarily good news（C） the technical fix does help reverse the obesity epidemic（D）the
44、 mechanism of tesofensine still remains to be verified63 Which of the following can be referred to as the environmental perspective of the authors argument?（A）Belittling good health behavior.（B） Imposing a heavy burden on our planet.（C） Making trouble for our social environment.（D）Having implication
45、s for mental and physical health.64 The author argues that we make greater efforts to help people fight against_.（A）their biological overeating tendency and aggressively marketed foods（B） the development of diet pills as a technical fix for obesity（C） their excuses for their genetic susceptibility t
46、o obesity（D）the defeatism prevailing in the general populations 65 Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?（A）No Quick Fix（B） Disease of Civilization（C） Pursuing a Technical Fix（D）A War on Global Obesity65 An abandoned airfield near a former Nazi concentration tramp may soon fea

A $700 million project aims to give Germany its own Chinatown 22 miles north of Berlin in the town of Oranienburg, housing 2,000 residents by 2010.The investor group behind the scheme hopes the new Chinatown will attract tourists and business to rival the famed Chinat
48、owns of San Francisco and New York by delivering an “authentic Chinese experience.“ “Youll be able to experience China, go out for a Chinese meal, and buy Chinese goods,“ says Stefan Kunigam, managing director of Bandenburg-China-Project-Management GmbH.The project has attracted investors in both Ge
49、rmany and China, reports Christoph Lang of Berlins Trade and Industry promotion Office. “Chinese investors have already asked if we have a Chinatown here.“ He says. “The cultural environment is very important for them. You cannot build a synthetic Chinatown.“Germany is home to about 72,000 Chinese migrants(2002 Federal Statistical Office figures), but the country has not had a Chinatown since the early 1930s in Hamburg, when most of t
