    Indians are the world’s biggest bookworms, reading on average 10.7 hours a week, twice as long as Americans, according to a new survey.
    The NOP World Culture Score Index surveyed 30,000 people in 30 countries from December 2004 to February 2005.
    Analysts said self-help and desirable reading could explain India’s high figures.
    Time spent on reading meant fewer hours watching TV and listening to the radio—India came fourth last in both.
    The NOP survey of 30,000 consumers aged over 13 saw China and the Philippines take second and third place respectively in average hours a week spent reading books, newspapers and magazines.
    Britons and Americans scored about half the Indians’ hours and Japanese and Koreans were even lower—at 4.1 and 3.1 hours respectively.
    R. Sriram, chief executive officer of Crosswords Bookstores, a chain of 26 bookshops around India, says Indians are extremely entrepreneurial (有开创精神的) and reading “is a fundamental part of their being”.
    “They place a great deal of emphasis on reading. That’s the reason why they do well in education at home and in universities abroad,” he said.
    “People educate themselves and deal with change throughout their lives. And the way to do that is to update themselves with books.”
    Mr. Sriram says social changes have also made a difference: “Earlier people could turn to their parents and grandparents for advice．Now they turn to books.”

    Malnutrition (营养失调)remains a serious problem for India. But a new study shows that India’s leading causes of death now also include diseases related to obesity （肥胖）such as heart disease.

    India’s National Family Health Survey shows that more than twenty percent of Indians living in cities are overweight or obese. And in the northwestern state of Punjab, that is true for almost forty percent of women.

    Aradhna Tripathi is a business professional in New Delhi. She said, “ Eating is the most important thing in any Indian household and how you show your love and gratitude(感激) for a person is through the kind of food you serve him. And the kind of lifestyle we are leading is one of the reasons why we have the number of obese people increasing every day.

    But Aradhna Tripathi says she has decided to lose weight. Her mother and grandmother are also diabetic(患糖尿病的). In fact, the International Diabetes Federation says India is now the diabetes capital of the world. Researchers say Indians store more body fat per kilogram than Europeans. That means obese Indians are even more at the risk of diabetes than other people.

    Doctor Anoop Misra at Fortis Hospital in New Delhi says the risk of diabetes is crossing social and economic lines. Five years ago, he says, obesity and diabetes were limited to India’s richest people, but now things have changed.

    But Doctor Misra is hopeful that the spread (蔓延，传播)of obesity can be slowed. And he says it must start in schools by giving all Indian children the same instruction on physical activity and diet.

    The World Health Organization says China is also moving up in obesity rates. The estimate (估计) has reached about five percent countryside and as high as twenty percent in some cities.

    What is this passage mainly about?

    A. Obesity has become a big killer in India.

    B. Heart disease is troubling people in India.

    C. People in India live a very unhealthy life.

    D.Malnutrition remains a serious problem in India.

    According to Aradhna Tripathi , one of the causes of the obesity problems is_________.

    A. .the development of economy

    B. the change of Indians’ lifestyle

    C. Indians’ attitude （态度）towards eating

    D. Indians’ attitude towards obesity.

    What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5?

    A. Most wealthy people in India are overweight.

    B. Five years ago, few people in India were overweight

    C. Few poor people are diabetic for economic reasons.

    D. Now even the poor in India suffer from obesity.
