The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed
except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that
troublesome stuff they call “books”.
I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked
myself. I didn’t answer. In fact, I dare not.
The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear!” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go
to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with
me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock stroke one. I was quite desperate now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too
tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the
exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.”
My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my
head on the desk, I fell asleep.

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a weight problem. To
many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to
support the idea.
Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today,
yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used
machines much less and didn’t watch television.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on
average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545
London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.
Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research
group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:
The more the men run, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount
of food they ate. Thus, those who run the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of
body fat.

A. they are too slim B. they work too hard

12. According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, ________ will have a weight
problem.
A. 30 B. 50 C. 100 D. 150
13. Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a weight
problem?
A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.
B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.
C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support that.
D. We don’t know because the information is not given.
14. In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s
_______.
A. ate more food and had more physical activities.
B. ate less food but had more activities
C. ate less food and had less physical exercise
D. had more weight problems
