1.In the United States,30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem".To many people,the cause is obvious: we eat too much.But scientific evidence does little to support this idea.Going back to the America of 1910,we find that people were leaner than today,yet they ate more food.In those days people worked harder physically,walked more,used machines much less,and didn't watch TV.Several modern studies,moreover,have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people.In fact,some investigations,such as a 1979 study of 3545 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 found the following interesting fact:The more the man ran,the greater loss of body fat.The more they ran,the greater their increase in food intake.Thus,those who ran the most ate the most,yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.1).Based upon the statistics given in the article,suppose there are 500 adult Americans,about how many of them will have a "weight problem"?（）A、30B、50C、100D、1502).What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?（）A、Fat people eat less food and are less active.B、Fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active.C、Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.D、Thin people run less,but have greater increase in food intake.3).What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?（）A、They are too slim.B、They work too hard.C、They are too fat.D、They lost too much body fat.4).Is there 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 this.D、We don't know because the information is not given5).In comparison with the adult American population today,the Americans of（）.A、ate more food and had more physical activitiesB、ate less food but had more activitiesC、ate less food and had less physical exerciseD、had more weight problems

第10题

The United States court system, as part of the federal system of government, is characteri

zed by dual hierarchies: there are both state and federal courts. Each state has its own system of courts, composed of civil and criminal trial courts, sometimes intermediate courts of appeal, and a state supreme court. The federal court system consists of a series of trial courts(called district courts)serving relatively small geographic regions(There is at least one for every state), a tier of circuit courts of appeal that hear appeals from many district counts in a particular geographic region, and the Supreme Court of the United States. The two court systems are to some extent overlapping, in that certain kinds of disputes (such as a claim that a state law is in violation of the Constitution)may be initiated in either system. They are also to some extent hierarchical, for the federal system stands above the state sys- tem in that litigants (persons engaged in lawsuits )who lose their cases in the state supreme courts may appeal their cases to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Thus, the typical court case begins in a trail count—a court of general jurisdiction—in the state or federal system. Most cases go to further than the trial court; for example, the criminal defendant is convicted (by a trial or a guilty plea)and sentenced by the court and the case ends; the personal injury suit results in a judgment by a trail court (or an out-of-court settlement by the parties while the court suit is pending)and the parties leave the court sys- tem. But sometimes the losing party at the trial court cares enough about the cause that the matter does not end there. In these cases, the "loser" at the trial court may appeal to the next higher court.

According to the passage, district courts are also known as______.

A．circuit courts

B．supreme courts

C．intemediate courts

D．trial courts
