The rate for heart disease among men in China is one-sixteenth the rate in the U.S. The rate for colon cancer is only about two-fifths of the U.S. rate. Scientists believe that the poor diet of North Americans is killing them. The average citizen consumes too much meat, sugar and salt and not enough vegetables, grains, and fiber. And these unhealthy eating habits are prime suspects in several serious diseases: heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers.
T. Colin Campbell, a co-author of the study mentioned above, calls these diseases “ disease of wealth.” As countries become richer, people begin to eat more meat. Heart disease and certain kinds of cancer increase. This is happening in Japan, where the traditional low-meat diet is giving way to increased meat consumption. Unfortunately, this is beginning to happen un the wealthier parts of
China too. In this case, at least, traditions should be kept.

(A) the average Chinese has healthy diet.

Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place
in the roles of all classes and age groups of men and women. Naturally, there
are difficulties in adjusting to these changes. It is not easy for men and women
to learn to share the labor of the workplace. It is not easy for women to meet the
demands and pressure of work outside the home and still take care of a family.
Not all men are willing to share home and child-care responsibilities with their
working wives. But perhaps more men are beginning to feel like Rafael Suarez,
Jr, a New York City college student who looks forward to the new type of
society. “Who needs the pressure of being a typical male?”” asks Rafael. ”It’s
more fun being a human being first.”

(B) he would share some of the household responsibilities with his wife.
(C) he wants a job with a lot of pressure.
(E) he wants to be born as a woman.

Not unlike drugs or alcohol, the television experience allows the participant
to blot out the real world and enter into a pleasurable and passive mental state.
The worries and anxieties of reality are as effectively deferred by becoming
absorbed in a television program as by going on a “ trip” included by drugs or
alcohol. And just as alcoholics are only inchoately aware of heir addiction,
feeling that control their drinking more than they really do (“ I can cut it out
any time I want- I just like to have three or four drinks before dinner”),
peoples similarly overestimate their control over television watching. Even as
they put off other activities to spend hour after hour watching television, they
feel they could easily resume living in a different, less passive style. But
somehow or other while the television set is present in their homes, the click
doesn’t sound. With television pleasures available, those other experiences
seem less attractive, more difficult somehow.
1. The word “addiction” is used in this passage to denote
(A) a tendency to overindulge in some activities.
(B) An unconscious insistence on one’s opinion.
(C) A kind of worry or anxiety over a certain period of time.
(D) An interest in some unusual hobby.
2. The author of his passage does NOT think that
(A) people are aware of their control over television watching.
(B) some people watch television in order to escape from reality.
(C) people usually find television watching more attractive and less difficult than the other activities.
(D) Television watching prevents people from living easily in an active style.
