单选题The last few years have seen new wealth in the group of white-collar workers in China. Primarily this group consists of lawyers, artists, company presidents and employees of joint-venture companies. This group did not exist ten years ago. Business ventures such as real estate development, computer companies and travel agencies have nurtured this new class of ambitious Chinese who have tasted the good life and want even more of it.
What are the marks of this group of people? First of all, it is defined by what its members have: cell phones, washing machines, microwave ovens, computers, homes and vacations. But this group is not only marked by material things. A psychological independence and carefree optimism is also present. Middel-aged successful company presidents, young professionals even college students are optimistic, expecting the best in their future.
Chinese entrepreneurs(企业家)began accumulating money in the late 1980s. But it was not until the middle 90s that the material possession of the newly-richcell phones, computers, cars, houses were easily available. These high-tech entrepreneurs quit state enterprise to start private companies nearly a decade ago, when China started to transform from a planned to a market economy. These early entrepreneurs are now wealthy by any countrys standards. However, like any newly-rich Chinese, they seem a little uncomfortable when asked about wealth. One reason for their discomfort is that they realize that the prosperity wealth that has created the group of newly-rich has not benefited all Chinese equally. Some entrepreneurs have move up in social status, but many workers have been laid off, losing their jobs temporarily for economic reason, from state-run factories.
For most Chinese, the move into this style of Rife is still a step-by-step progress. It may be slow but many business people are hopeful. As a real estate entrepreneur from Beijing said: This is not just about money. Its about a better quality of life.

单选题. The average person swallows about half-a-ton of food a year—not counting drink—and though the body is remarkably efficient at extracting(摄取) just what it needs from this huge mixture, it can only cope up to a point. If you go on eating too much of some things and not enough of others, you'll eventually get out of condition and your health will suffer. So think before you start eating. It may look good. It may taste good. Fine! But how much good is it really doing you? What you eat and the way it affects your body depend very much on the kind of person you are. For one thing, the genes you inherit from your parents can determine how your body metabolism(新陈代谢) copes with particular foods. The tendency to put on weight rather easily, for example, often runs in families—which means that they have to take particular care. And your parents may shape your future in another way. The way you are brought up shapes some basic attitudes to food—like whether you have a sweet tooth, nibble between meals, take big mouthfuls or eat chips with everything. Eating habits, good or bad, tend to get passed on. And then there is your lifestyle. How much you spend on food (time as well as money), how much exercise you get—these can alter the balance between food and fitness. And finally, both your age and your sex may affect this balance. For example, you're more likely to put on weight as you get older, especially if you're a woman. So everybody is different and the important thing is to know yourself.1.
