Two new studies show that children who live close to parks and markets that sell fresh food are half as likely to be obese as children who live far from these places. Obese people are extremely overweight, and those extra pounds are tied to an increase in a person's risk for many different diseases and serious medical conditions, including diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
The research reveals “the influence of environmental factors on people's health, in particular obesity,” Laura Kettel Khan, a nutritionist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, told Science News.
Lawrence Frank, an urban planner and public health researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, led one of the studies. Urban planners study the design of cities and work to build better places to live in. He and his colleagues looked at hundreds of neighborhoods in California's San Diego County and in Washington's King County, which includes Seattle.
They judged all the neighborhoods according to their nutrition and physical
activity. The neighborhoods that scored highest on nutrition had a supermarket nearby that sold fresh produce and few fast food restaurants in the area. Neighborhoods that scored highest on physical activity had parks and were “walkable”, which means residents can walk to many places they'd want to go to.
The researchers then looked at health information from 681 children, ages 6 to 11, who lived in those areas. About 1 in 12 children who lived in neighborhoods near parks or supermarkets were obese. In neighborhoods lacking parks and markets, the obesity rate among children doubled, to about 1 in 6.
The work “will inform the way we think about cities and how to design neighborhoods,” Jennifer Black told Science News. Black, who didn't work on the new studies, is a nutritionist at the University of British Columbia. “We have a pretty strong sense that if it's easier for people to safely and comfortably walk to the kinds of things they want, they'll be more likely to be physically active and spend less time driving,” she adds.
The researchers also found that newer neighborhoods scored lower than older neighborhoods, which suggests that some new housing developments may work against the health of the people who live there.
Many communities no longer provide parks and markets within walking distance, Frank told Science News. “If we want to reverse the obesity epidemic(流行病), we need to reverse the way we're building our communities.”
16.The best title for the passage is “________”. A.Obesity related to eating B.Obesity tied to many diseases C.Obesity linked to location
D.Obesity linked to city planning
17.What did the researchers do for the study?
A.They surveyed thousands of neighborhoods in California and in Washington. B.They graded each neighborhood based on nutrition and physical activity. C.They interviewed nearly seven hundred children of the neighborhoods.
D.They looked at health information of each neighborhood from its young residents.
18.What did Lawrence Frank and his colleagues find in their research? A.Kids living near parks or markets are less likely to be extremely overweight. B.There are parks near the neighborhoods that score highest on physical activity.
C.Living in neighborhoods near parks or supermarkets can keep obesity in control.
D.More new neighborhoods are built with human health taken into consideration. 19.It is inferred from the saying of Jennifer Black that ________. A.driving is bad for health
B.eating right is good for health C.living actively determines health D.getting exercise is good for health
20.According to the passage, what does Lawrence Frank think of today's urban
planning?
A.It is amazing. B.It is satisfying. C.It is worrying. D.It is positive.

Today we will explain a very old saying that has had a big influence on rockandroll music. That saying is “A rolling stone gathers no moss”.It has several meanings. One meaning is that a person who never settles down in one place will not be successful. Another is that someone who is always moving, with no roots in one place, avoids responsibilities.
This proverb was said to be first used in the 1500s. But in the 1960s, the expression “rolling stone” became famous in the world of rockandroll music. It became the name of a song, a rock group and a magazine.
Experts say it all started with a song by the American singer and guitarist Muddy Waters. He was one of the country's top blues musicians until his death in 1983. His music influenced singers like Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan. In 1950, Muddy Waters recorded a song called “Rolling Stone”.
A British rock group is said to have taken its name from Muddy Waters' song. The Rolling Stones performed for the first time in 1962.The group's members called themselves “the world's greatest rockandroll band”.
In 1965, Bob Dylan released his song “Like a Rolling Stone”.It is one of his best known and most influential works.
It is an angry song about a woman who was once rich and successful. But now she is on her own,“with no direction home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone”.
In 1967, a young man named Jann Wenner started a magazine and he named it “Rolling Stone”.The magazine reported on rock music and the popular culture that the music created. By 1971,“Rolling Stone” had become the leading rock music and counterculture publication. It is still popular today.
21.Which person can be described as a rolling stone according to the proverb? A.A person who always changes his jobs. B.A person who has a successful career. C.A person who has no family. D.A person who is out of work.
22.All of them are musicians except ________. A.Elvis Presley B.Bob Dylan
C.Muddy Waters D.Jann Wenner
23.Who first used “rolling stone” as a name for music? A.Jann Wenner. B.Bob Dylan.
C.Elvis Presley.
D.Muddy Waters.
