Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods even if you also exercise regularly could be 36 for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV just the overall number of hours it 37 . Research is preliminary, but several studies 38 people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.In an editorial 39 this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define 40 activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.While health officials have issued guidelines 41 minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated 42 ."After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send 43 signals," Ekblom-Bak said. She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucose and fat in the 44 start to shut down.Even for people who 45 , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day 46 still spend a lot of time sitting might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, 47 in a single bout.That wasn't 48 news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting 49 a computer. Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art 50 wrestling, and also does Thai boxing."I'm sure there are some detrimental 51 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being 52 when I can helps," he said. "I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be 53_ dangerous."Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat 54 had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised.Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars.Experts said more research is needed to 55 just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.36.

Now, they want to be sports star, pop star and actor, according to survey by the Guardian newspaper.Rachel, a character in the popular TV show Glee, may be said to speak for British teenagers. “Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor.” He said.Emma Brockes, a reporter with the Guardian, believes it is “the bad influence of celebrity(名人) culture” that is to blame. “When children wanted to be doctor, it wasnt because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now; you go where the respect is.” She wrote.It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression. Dr Carlo Stranger, of Tel Aviv University, studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance: Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century. He told the Daily Mail that young people now are “affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network, which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(痴迷).”“As humans, we naturally measure ourselves to those around us, but now we live in a global village. We are comparing ourselves with the most important people in the world and finding ourselves wanting,” he said. Today, even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.The way out? Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity. Dr Strenger said that it is a process called “active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life.”“The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement,” he said.56. Nowadays, young people in Britain want to . Achoose jobs based on interestsBbecome famous Cbe teacher, banker and doctor Dearn more money57. According to Emma Brockes, what causes the increasing level of anxiety?AChoices of future careers. BAccess to the global network.CBad influences of celebrities.DEndless comparison with others.58. Which of the following is true of Dr Carlo Strenger?AHe is a newspaper reporter.BHe is the spokesman of teenagers.CHe tells success stories on TV.DHe is against ranking people with wealth.59. Dr Carlo Strenger suggests that young people should .Aseek active self-acceptanceBstick to their own dreamsCmake great achievementsDsearch for the secret of wealth60. The text is mainly written to .Atalk about job choicesBanalyse a social phenomenonCencourage celebrity cultureDintroduce three famous peopleBA person, like a commodity（商品）, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the persons unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment（装饰）, so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self - defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle - aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self - confidence and work at pioneering work you are unique in your natural qualities；and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been through plains mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth . There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow - capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony （和谐）with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the elders company is like reading a thick book of deluxe （better quality）edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with.As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.61It can be concluded from the text that_.A. people should be packed at all agesB. people should be packed in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packingD. proper packing makes people attractive62For the middle - aged, attractiveness_ .A. hardly existsB. is the strongestC. comes from the insideD. comes from the appearance63The underlined sentence means that elderly people _.A. are usually packed like a finely - made bookB. experience a lot and have rich knowledge of lifeC. do a lot of traveling and can give you much informationD. enjoy reading thick books of beautiful nature and fairylands
