. Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do? A.study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so idle they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs. Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health charity. The results were startling. About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up. More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them. This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese before they start school. Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: "People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too. "If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks." And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most idle city in the UK, with 75% questioned admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%. The results bring serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year. 59.How many people questioned don’t play with their children? A.1280. B.More than 333. C.654. D.About 420. 60.The study leads us to believe that _______. A. the pets in the UK will be in trouble if their owners keep their way of life B. Glasgow people feel ashamed because they don’t get enough exercise C. British people are the laziest around the world D. five sixths of the British children are healthy 61. How does the author convince the readers? A. By presenting the results of a study. B. By providing answers to questions. C. By interviewing some experts. D. By telling a story. 62. What is the passage mainly about? A.A.study of British people’s laziness. B.A.study of British people’s lifestyles. C. The health service in the UK. D. The obesity problem in the UK.
