32、 So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to help patients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often dont know what to say. So

33、while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the conversation often ends there, said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. Without being told about options for diabetes, she said, “Doctors dont feel they have good information to give. They felt they didnt have adequat

34、e tools to address this problem.”The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients dont even know that theyre too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were ove

35、rweight. Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were also told by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the past - and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small am

36、ount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesity related diseases like hypertension and diabetes. Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn., which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the Unit

37、ed States, said the dialogue had to be an ongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If youre to be successful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coa

38、ch them,” he said. He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic. “Part of this is that theres this common belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just dont have any willpower and are selfindulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you

39、 think that way, youre not going to spend time having a productive conversation.”71. What is the “Stop Obesity Alliance” most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors specializing in obesity. B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity. C. A research group that conducts specia

40、l surveys about overweight people. D. A research group dealing with doctorpatient relationship. 72. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are. B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain. C. Without their doctors

41、constant coaching, there is little chance of their succeeding in losing weight. D. Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy. 73. According to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients?A. Most doctors just never think of warnin

42、g their patients about their weight problem. B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight. C. Most patients are too weakwilled to do anything about their weight. D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem. 74. Which of the following

43、is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity in the USB. Trouble of Overweight AmericansC. Talk More, Help BetterD. Doctors or PatientsWho to Bear More Blame?BA vertical farm is a concept farm which is planted on levels or floors. A sky scraper type building can house a vertical farm. Since the garde

44、n is built upwards, rather than outwards, it requires much less space than a conventional farm. The world is quickly running out of room for conventional farming. Vertical farms could be a key to this situation. An 18 story vertical farm could feed as many as 50,000 people, all in an area which is t

45、he size of the average city block. Vertical farms in the city could cut down on transportation costs as well. Think about the amount of fuel it takes to transport food from farmland to city. The resources saved would be surprising. Besides saving travel time, food would be delivered in fresher condi

46、tion and with less damage. There is a growing concern about the use of pesticides in agriculture today. But the vertical farm would be a greenhouse type environment, avoiding the need for a large number of pesticides. Vertical farms can be built in a contained space, therefore they are an excellent

47、solution for living well in an environment far different from our own. Hydroponics(水耕法) could be a big part of vertical gardening. This would reduce the amount of soil needed to grow food. Of course, not all food does well with this type of planting, but there are many crops that actually seem to do

48、 better. In some climates, a lack of sunlight creates a short growing season. The solar power option may not work as well here. The addition of grow lights would make it possible to grow crops in vertical gardens in these areas. In other words, we could grow crops in areas where we never could befor

49、e. Vertical farms may just be a concept for now, but they are a concept that will solve many of our problems in the future. 75. According to the passage, a vertical farm_. A. is mainly built outwards B. is only an environmental friendly farmC. is planted on levels upwardsD. is dependent on solar pow

50、er76. The second paragraph is mainly about_. A. the meaning of a vertical farmB. the future of a vertical farmC. the cost of a vertical farmD. the benefit of a vertical farm77. Compared to the conventional farm, the vertical farm can_. A. help to protect the limited gardens B. reduce the harmful eff

51、ect of pesticidesC. depend far less on sunlight D. greatly increase the use of soil78. It can be learned from the passage that vertical farms_. A. have been put into use B. need less room than conventional farmsC. only use hydroponics to grow food D. may increase the transportation costsCHow has smo

52、king been controlled in recent years?People were asked to stop smoking in a range of public places - such as doctors surgeries, cinemas, theatres and churches - over the second half of the 20th century but it was after the Kings Cross Underground fire on November 18, 1987, caused by a cigarette end

53、which resulted in 31 deaths, that restrictions on smoking in public places gained rapid and widespread acceptance. How did a ban on smoking in public places come into place?In 1998 the Smoking Kills White Paper set out a national strategy to reduce smoking prevalence(流行) and passive smoking, includi

54、ng in public places. The measures were voluntary and poorly carried out. After a public conference in England in 2004, the Government decided to choose for lawmaking. Scotland went first, with a ban in 2006, followed by the other nations a year later. What is the current law?Any person who smokes in enclosed public places, including pubs, offices, on public transport and work vehicles, is breakin
