Why is shopping online becoming more and more popular? First, it provides lots of advantages（优势）. There are many goods（商品） on the Internet. People can find anything they want. The price （价格）on the Internet is usually cheaper than that in the store.

22、My grandfather often complains about how things have changed, and says that life used to be better.

Families aren’t families the way they used to be. Many people are divorced（离婚的）. If husband and wife are having problems with their marriage, they don’t stay together any more. And mothers used to stay at home to take care of their children, but now not any more. Everyone’s working. No one has time for children any more. They are left for their grandparents.

And the cars! No one walks any more; everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winters. And in school, the children don’t have to think any more. In math class, for example, we used to add, minus, multiply, and divide in our heads. Kids don’t use their heads any more; they use calculators.

Most families have computers now. In the old days, we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have electricity. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. Nobody eats home-cooked food any more. And people don’t talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think…

Life used to be simple, but it isn’t any more.

24、Maybe you should sit down before you read this. It’s a little frightening. Your sitting maybe killing you.

Health experts say the US adult now sits about 6.5 hours a day. That is up about an hour a day compared to 2007. The news is even worse for teens. They sit eight hours each day. The information was put out by the National Center for Health Statistics. It has collected the numbers for the past 16 years. It is worried about what it has found.

Research shows that people who are not active can get sick. Their bones get weaker. They burn fewer calories (卡路里). That makes them more likely to put on too much weight. They might even get diabetes (糖尿病). They are at risk for high blood pressure and heart problems, too.

Some experts also think sitting too much can influence how your blood moves through your body and how well your body fights off illness. Being active helps in lots of ways. It can make you happier, burn more calories and give you more energy. It can also help you sleep better.

About 60% of people in the US watch at least two hours of TV each day. That number has stayed about the same in recent years.

Computers are the biggest reason for more hours spent sitting. Computer use outside of work or school has gone up for all age groups. Now, 50% of adults spend at least an hour of their free time on a computer each day. That is up from 29% in 2003.

About 53% of teens now spend at least an hour of free time on computers. So do 56% of kids. As many as 1 in 4 people who use computers use three hours or more outside of work and school.

So get up, take some breaks and go outside. You might save your life by doing outdoor activities.

【1】The text is especially helpful for those who care about _________.

A．their body shape

B．their home comforts

C．their health

D．their food

D．treat heart problems

【3】What is the text mainly about?

C．Being more active is good for you and me.

D．Sitting means killing.

【4】Which one of the following is most probably to be discussed next?
