　　C) man has to limit his activities to slow down the global warming process

　　D) human civilization will continue to develop in spite of the changes of nature

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

　　No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess(公爵夫人)

　　Of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.

　　The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself have

　　Fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been on a diet for the

　　betteror worsepart of my life. Being rich wouldnt be bad either, but that wont happen unless

　　an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars.

　　Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating, and excessive eating is one of Christianitys seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.
