7.died 首字母原创改编 A
We’ve reached a strange—some would say unusual—point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more l_____1___ to kill us these days.
Worse, nearly l8 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?
We really don’t have many e_____2_____ for our weight problems. The
dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.
In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the h____3___ rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public-health campaign has greatly r_____4_____the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.
Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No w_____5_____it ranks as the world’s most body-conscious country.
We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack w_____6________
Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too i_____7_____ and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.
Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.
It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say—not as I do.

The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows m___1___ from uncivil behavior of drivers who r___2___ to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.
In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people-just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a general truth both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s a___3___ could bring death or damage to others. A minority of killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence (疏忽).
Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological c___4___ of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort (扭曲 ) drivers’ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be c___5___. The experts warn that it is necessary for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotion under c___6___. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined (限制) to drivers. Street walkers regularly break traffic rules. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of r___7___.
Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety

standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In a___8___, speed limits have been lowered.

The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to persuade people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant c___10___ and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.
