When I ran into her shortly after her injury, I took a look and I knew that a simple first aid routine was in order. With me being an athlete, I knew that a simple procedure called “RICE” (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation), was what she needed until she was able to get to the doctor. With little understanding of what I was doing, she trusted that I meant to help.

Today she came up to me while I was getting my breakfast and without a word, she hugged me and patted me on the back. When I asked why the wonderful affection, she simply said “Thank you for taking care of my arm when I got hurt”.

As she was telling me this, I saw how my random act of kindness had had an impact on her. With me just taking an extra minute out of my day to help her, I made a friend.

36. What’s the best title for the text?

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 likely to kill us these days.

We really don’t have many excuses 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 highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 percent over the past three decades.

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 willpower.

Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting 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.

40. What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?

A. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.

B. Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.

C. WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.

D. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.

41. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?

A. A lot of effective diet pills are available.

B. Body image has nothing to do with good food.

C. They have been made fully aware of its dangers.

D. There are too many overweight people in the world.

42. The example of Finland in paragraph three is used to illustrate ________.

A. the cause of heart disease B. the effectiveness of a campaign

C. the fashion of body shaping D. the history of the country

43. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Actions or Excuses? B. Overweight or Underweight?

C. WHO in a Dilemma D. No Longer Dying of Hunger

C
