final goal was to find somewhere to settle down,buy a house,start afamily,and begin the whole cycle all over again.But now some people are increasingly choosing to move from cityto city throughout their entire lives,sometimes as frequently as every month.Just ask Alex Chatzieleftheriou,who has had a front-row seat watching this evolution unfold.Six years ago,helaunched a startup called Blueground that rents out beautifully designed,fully furnished apartments for a monthat a time,at rates that are cheaper than hotels.And it aims to make each one feel unique and comfortable,ratherthan standardized,like what you might find in a traditional hotel.Today,the company has 3,000 properties(房地产)in six U.S.cities,along with Dubai,Istanbul,London,Paris,and Chatzieleftherious native Athens,and a staff of 400.With the helpof the Series B round of funding,thecompany landed$50 million,plus its previous total of$28 million,to continue its rapid expansion.It hopes tohave 50,000 properties in 50 cities over the next three years.Chatzieleftheriou first came up with the idea for Blueground while he was working as a managementconsultant for McKinsey.“The accommodation of choice for consultants is the hotel,”he says.“I had to spend fiveyears in hotel rooms,living in 12 different cities.I loved seeing the world,but I didnt love feeling like I didnt havea home.”And whats

life.9.What is the goal of Blueground?A.To compete with hotels.B.To create standardized hotels.C.To make renters feel at home.D.To rent out long-term apartments.10.What do we know about Blueground?A.It got a total investment of$78 million.B.Its business is anything but satisfying.C.It expanded to every corner of the world.D.It has 50,000 properties in 50 cities.11.What does the last paragraph focus on?A.High costs of hotels.B.Chatzieleftherious former work.C Strengths of Blueground.D.The inspiration for Blueground.DA new study finds almost one third of the worlds population is overweight.Since 1980,obesity rates(肥胖率)inchildren and adults have doubled in 73 countries,making people more worried.And rates are increasing in manyother countries.Obesity is increasing faster in children than adults in many nations,including Algeria,Turkey andJordan,the report said.But the worlds weight problem is growing in both rich and poor countries alike.Researchers say an increasing number of people are dying of related health problems in what they called adisturbing global public health problem.Researchers studied health information from 1980 through 2015.They examined obesity rates,average weightgain in 195 countries.They found that obesity rates are three times greater among youth and young adults incountries like China,Brazil and India.Almost 108 million children and more than 600 million adults were found tobe overweight.Egypt had the highest number of overweight adults in 2015.Vietnam had the least.In the sameyear,the United States had the highest number of overweight children,and Bangladesh had the least.Yet hunger remains a problem in many areas.The United Nations said that almost 800 million people,including300 million children,go to bed hungry each night.Experts said poor diets and lack of physical activity are mainly toblame for the rising numbers of overweight people.Growing populations have led to rising obesity rates in poor countries.Often,poor people will eat processed(加工的)foods instead of choosing a diet rich in vegetables.The London-based Overseas Development Institute studied the price of food in five countries:Britain,Brazil,China,Mexico and South Korea.It found that the cost of processed foods like ice creamand hamburgers has fallen since1990.But the cost of fresh fruits and vegetables has gone up.12.What do we know about obesity in the world?A.It is worryingB.It is given no attentionC.It has been successfully solvedD.It is more serious among old people13.Which country has the most
