The average British womans waistline has grown by 2 inches in 10 years, all thanks to the sedentary lifestyle.
A study conducted by Cancer Research UK scientists found that the average waistline of British women has increased from 31.8 inches to 33.5 inches.
Men are also nowhere behind the fairer sex, for the research found that the average mans waistline has grown by 1.4 inches to 38 inches.
We know high body weight increases the risk of a number of cancers and it is important we get this message out to as many people as possible, the Daily Mail quoted Dr Lesley Walker, of Cancer Research UK, as saying.
A healthy diet with plenty of fiber, fruit and vegetables, as well as regular exercise can help people lose weight and reduce their risk of cancer, he added.
The trend was found to be dominant in the under 45s, where the proportion of men with a body mass indexover 35, and of women with a BMI of over 40, has grown two-fold during the decade.
Lead researcher Professor Jane Wardle said it is possible that young people follow a less healthy lifestyle than their elders.
Snacking habits, takeaway meals high in fat and sedentary lifestyles where many people spend both work and leisure time sitting in front of a computer are all likely to contribute to the results.
She added that genetics also play a vital role in the growing rate of obesity.

参考答案:
1.正确答案:B
解析:该题说的是:如果不久坐,英国女性的腰围增长就会超过2英寸。文章提到了英国女性腰围增长2英寸就是因为她们久坐。因此错误
2.正确答案:A
解析:该题说的是:确切地说,英国女性腰围长了1.7英寸。第二段提到英国女性的腰围从31.8英寸涨到33.5英寸。因此正确
3.正确答案:C
解析:该题说的是:男人的腰围增长是因为他们吃了太多的汉堡包。文中并没有提到。
4.正确答案:A
解析:该题说的是:沃克认为体重越大,患癌症的风险越高。原文第四段提到了体重的增长增加患癌症的风险。
5.正确答案:B
解析:该题说的是:45岁以上的人更有可能超重。第五段提到了45岁以上的人体重指数增加明显。注意under 45s是指45岁以下的人。
6.正确答案:B
解析:该题说的是:年轻人遵循比他们的长辈更健康的生活方式。从倒数第二段可以得出年轻人吃快餐,外带食品,工作于休闲的时间同样久坐电脑前,这些都是比他们的长辈更加不健康的生活方式。所以题干的说法是错误的。
7.正确答案:B
解析:该题说的是:沃尔德认为基因遗传与肥胖无关。最后一段提到了基因在提高肥胖几率方面起重要作用。因此该句的表述错误
