Could being a little overweight help you live longer? A new international analysis (分析) shows a surprising answer: while obesity (肥胖) increases the risk of dying early, being slightly overweight reduces it. These studies included almost 3 million adults from around the world, yet the results were clearly the same, the authors of the analysis said.
“If you have a medical condition, your chances, of living are slightly better if you are a bit on the heavy side,” says study author Katherine Flegal, “Several factors may contribute to this finding.”
“Heavier people may tend to see the doctor earlier,” she says, “and may be more likely to be treated according to the doctor’s advice. Obesity itself may protect the heart, or someone who is heavier might be better able to fight against a shock to the system.”
For the study, Flegal’s team collected data on more than 2.88 million people included in 97 studies. The researchers looked at the participants’ (参与者) body mass index (BMI), a measure of body fat that takes into consideration a person’s height and weight.
The researchers found that, compared with people of normal weight, overweight people had a 6 percent lower risk of death. Obese people, however, had an 18 percent higher risk. For those who were the least obese, the risk of death was 5 percent lower than people of normal weight, but for those who were the most obese, the risk of death was 29 percent higher, the findings showed.
While the study found a relation between weight and the risk of early death, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship. Indeed, one expert warmed that body weight alone cannot tell health and the risk of death.
“There are other factors that play a role in health,” says Dr. William, a professor at Louisiana State University. “BMI simply is a parameter (参数); it doesn’t take family history, smoking, fitness, and other factors into consideration.”
1. What did Flegal’s team do for their study?
A. They interviewed almost 3 million adults.
B. They did 97 experiments with fat people.
C. They collected data on 2.88 million people.
D. They talked with doctors for medical conditions.
2. Compared with people of normal weight, the least obese people had a(n)______ risk of death.
A. 5 percent lower B. 6 percent lower C. 18 percent higher D. 29 percent higher
3. Which of the following may Dr. William agree with?
A. Weight contributes to the risk of early death.
B. Weight has no relation with the risk of death.
C. BMI is only a factor to judge people’s health.
D. BMI alone can tell people’s health conditions.
4. What can be the suitable title for the passage?
A. Obesity kills B. The thinner, the healthier
C. BMI counts D. A bit overweight, a longer life

Rumors (谣言): we've all heard some and we've all spread some. In more traditional times they shook entire families. Today, they travel differently because the way we share information has also changed.
The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally. We don't enjoy being on the receiving end of one, since they usually don't have good intentions. They are somewhat veiled (掩饰的) messages.
Normally rumors are oral messages: word of mouth. The paradox (自相矛盾) is that there is no evidence to support rumors, but the more people share it, the more they see it as true. To finish explaining rumors, we think that they follow certain very clear laws. Secrecy: The source is unknown. There is also a proven phenomenon that human beings usually forget the source of a message before they forget its content. Certainty: We hardly question rumors simply because of the mental effort involved. On the other hand, no one likes to doubt a person who convinces us that the information they spread is true. Change: It acts like a tree. New rumors branch out to fill in the gaps left by the first rumor.
Another property (属性) of rumors is that they tend to become viral. Each receiver is at the same time a potential transmitter (传输者) of the information. The receiver often adds their own opinion. Their manner and tone of transmitting it also changes it.
How can we end rumors? The answer is as simple as it is impossible: preventing people from communicating. A more realistic response is equally difficult, although less than the first one. It is that we should be critical of the information we receive. We should ask ourselves if the source is reliable. Ask (if possible) the person you heard it from whether they also trust the information. We should also think about if the rumor benefits someone, and if that someone started the rumor.
One rumor to be especially cautious of is a rumor about groups relatively unable to defend themselves. That's why we say, "History is always told by the winners." The first payment the defeated must make is to accept the victor's version of the story.
5.What can we learn about rumors?
A. We have all heard some and believed them.
B.We're happy to be the receiving end of them.
C.They may have negative influence on society.
D.They often hide good intentions in the messages.
6.How are rumours like a tree?
A. Rumours keep changing, just as trees change their colour.
B. Rumours are deeply rooted in reality, like tree roots in the earth.
C. New rumours have gaps, like the space between tree branches.
D. New rumours grow out of the original, like branches out of a trunk.
7.What does the underlined word ‘viral’ in Para 4 probably mean?
A. Something easily spread. B.Something acceptable.
C.Something easily defended. D.Something beneficial.
8.Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. It is easy to prevent people from spreading rumors.
B. People are often active in judging the rumors critically.
C. We should think about the hidden message of the rumors.
D. Stories told by the victors are usually better worth trusting

Could being a little overweight help you live longer? A new international analysis (分析) shows a surprising answer: while obesity (肥胖) increases the risk of dying early, being slightly overweight reduces it. These studies included almost 3 million adults from around the world, yet the results were clearly the same, the authors of the analysis said.
“If you have a medical condition, your chances, of living are slightly better if you are a bit on the heavy side,” says study author Katherine Flegal, “Several factors may contribute to this finding.”
“Heavier people may tend to see the doctor earlier,” she says, “and may be more likely to be treated according to the doctor’s advice. Obesity itself may protect the heart, or someone who is heavier might be better able to fight against a shock to the system.”
For the study, Flegal’s team collected data on more than 2.88 million people included in 97 studies. The researchers looked at the participants’ (参与者) body mass index (BMI), a measure of body fat that takes into consideration a person’s height and weight.
The researchers found that, compared with people of normal weight, overweight people had a 6 percent lower risk of death. Obese people, however, had an 18 percent higher risk. For those who were the least obese, the risk of death was 5 percent lower than people of normal weight, but for those who were the most obese, the risk of death was 29 percent higher, the findings showed.
While the study found a relation between weight and the risk of early death, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship. Indeed, one expert warmed that body weight alone cannot tell health and the risk of death.
“There are other factors that play a role in health,” says Dr. William, a professor at Louisiana State University. “BMI simply is a parameter (参数); it doesn’t take family history, smoking, fitness, and other factors into consideration.”
1. What did Flegal’s team do for their study?
A. They interviewed almost 3 million adults.
B. They did 97 experiments with fat people.
C. They collected data on 2.88 million people.
D. They talked with doctors for medical conditions.
2. Compared with people of normal weight, the least obese people had a(n)______ risk of death.
A. 5 percent lower B. 6 percent lower C. 18 percent higher D. 29 percent higher
3. Which of the following may Dr. William agree with?
A. Weight contributes to the risk of early death.
B. Weight has no relation with the risk of death.
C. BMI is only a factor to judge people’s health.
D. BMI alone can tell people’s health conditions.
4. What can be the suitable title for the passage?
A. Obesity kills B. The thinner, the healthier
C. BMI counts D. A bit overweight, a longer life

Rumors (谣言): we've all heard some and we've all spread some. In more traditional times they shook entire families. Today, they travel differently because the way we share information has also changed.
The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally. We don't enjoy being on the receiving end of one, since they usually don't have good intentions. They are somewhat veiled (掩饰的) messages.
Normally rumors are oral messages: word of mouth. The paradox (自相矛盾) is that there is no evidence to support rumors, but the more people share it, the more they see it as true. To finish explaining rumors, we think that they follow certain very clear laws. Secrecy: The source is unknown. There is also a proven phenomenon that human beings usually forget the source of a message before they forget its content. Certainty: We hardly question rumors simply because of the mental effort involved. On the other hand, no one likes to doubt a person who convinces us that the information they spread is true. Change: It acts like a tree. New rumors branch out to fill in the gaps left by the first rumor.
Another property (属性) of rumors is that they tend to become viral. Each receiver is at the same time a potential transmitter (传输者) of the information. The receiver often adds their own opinion. Their manner and tone of transmitting it also changes it.
How can we end rumors? The answer is as simple as it is impossible: preventing people from communicating. A more realistic response is equally difficult, although less than the first one. It is that we should be critical of the information we receive. We should ask ourselves if the source is reliable. Ask (if possible) the person you heard it from whether they also trust the information. We should also think about if the rumor benefits someone, and if that someone started the rumor.
One rumor to be especially cautious of is a rumor about groups relatively unable to defend themselves. That's why we say, "History is always told by the winners." The first payment the defeated must make is to accept the victor's version of the story.
5.What can we learn about rumors?
A. We have all heard some and believed them.
B.We're happy to be the receiving end of them.
C.They may have negative influence on society.
D.They often hide good intentions in the messages.
6.How are rumours like a tree?
A. Rumours keep changing, just as trees change their colour.
B. Rumours are deeply rooted in reality, like tree roots in the earth.
C. New rumours have gaps, like the space between tree branches.
D. New rumours grow out of the original, like branches out of a trunk.
7.What does the underlined word ‘viral’ in Para 4 probably mean?
A. Something easily spread. B.Something acceptable.
C.Something easily defended. D.Something beneficial.
8.Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. It is easy to prevent people from spreading rumors.
B. People are often active in judging the rumors critically.
C. We should think about the hidden message of the rumors.
D. Stories told by the victors are usually better worth trusting
