mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)



Thinner isn’t always better. A number of studies have __1___ that normal
-weight
people
are
in
fact
at
higher
risk
of
some
diseases
compared
to
those
who
are
overweight.
And
there
are
health
conditions
for
which
being
overweight
is
actually
___2___. For example, heavier women are less likely to develop calcium deficiency
than thin women. ___3___ among the elderly, being somewhat overweight is often an
___4___ of good health.



Of even greater ___5___ is the fact that obesity turns out to be very difficult to
define. It is often defined ___6___ body mass index, or BMI. BMI ___7__ body mass
divided by the square of height. An adult with a BMI of 18 to 25 is often considered
to
be normal
weight.
Between 25
and 30 is
overweight. And over 30 is
considered
obese.
Obesity,
___8___,can
be
divided
into
moderately
obese,
severely
obese,
and
very severely obese.



While such numerical standards seem 9 , they are not. Obesity is probably less a
matter of weight than body fat. Some people with a high BMI are in fact extremely fit,
10
others
with
a
low
BMI
may
be
in
poor
11 .For
example,
many
collegiate
and
professional
football
players
12
as
obese,
though
their
percentage
body
fat
is
low.
Conversely, someone with a small frame may have high body fat but a 13 BMI.



Today
we

include
laziness,
lack
of
will
power,and
lower
prospects
for
rs,employers,and
health
professionals
have
been
shown
to
harbor
biases
against
the

_17_very
young
children
tend
to

Negative

its

Happy

These
two
academics
use
an
array
of
behavioral
research
to
show
that
the

most
rewarding
ways
to
spend
money
can
be
counterintuitive.
Fantasies
of
gr
eat
wealth
often
involve
visions
of
fancy
cars
and
extravagant
homes.
Yet
satis
faction
with
these
material
purchases
wears
off
fairly
quickly
what
was
once
e
xciting
and
new
becomes
old-hat;
regret
creeps
in.
It
is
far
better
to
spend
mo
ney
on
experiences,
say
MsDumn
and
Mr
Norton,
like
interesting
trips,
unique

meals
or
even
going
to
the
cinema.
These
purchases
often
become
more
valu
able
with
time-as
stories
or
memories- particularly
if
they
involve
feeling
more
connected
to
others.


This
slim
volume
is
packed
with
tips
to
help
wage
slaves
as
well
as
lotte
ry
winners
get
the
most

bang
for
your
buck.
It
seems
most
people

would
be
better
off
if
they
could
shorten
their
commutes
to
work,
spend
mor
e
time
with
friends
and
family
and
less
of
it
watching
television
(something
th
e
average
American
spends
a
whopping
two
months
a
year
doing,
and
is
hardl
y
jollier
for
it).Buying
gifts
or
giving
to
charity
is
often
more
pleasurable
than

purchasing
things
for
oneself,
and
luxuries
are
most
enjoyable
when
they
are
consumed
sparingly.
This
is
apparently
the
reason
MacDonald's
restricts
the
ava
ilability
of
its
popular
McRib
-
a
marketing
trick
that
has
turned
the
pork
san
dwich
into
an
object
of
obsession.


Readers
of
“HappyMoney”
are
clearly
a
privileged
lot,
anxious
about

not

may
not
quite
buy
happiness,
but
people
in
wealthier












































countries
are
generally
happier
than
those
in
poor
ones.
Yet
the
link
between

feeling
good
and
spending
money
on
others
can
be
seen
among
rich
and
poo
r
people
around
the
world,
and
scarcity
enhances
the
pleasure
of
most
things
f
or
most
people.
Not

the

ideas,
which
range
from

An
article
in
Scientific
America
has
pointed
out
that
empirical
research
sa
ys
that,
actually,
you
think
you’re
more
beautiful
than
you
are.
We
have
a
de
ep-seated
need
to
feel
good
about
ourselves
and
we
naturally
employ
a
number

of
self-enhancing
strategies
to
research
into
what
the
c
all
the
“above
average
effect”,
or
“illusory
superiority”,
and
shown
that,
for
example,
70%
of
us
rate
ourselves
as
above
average
in
leadership,
93%
in
driving
and
85%
at
getting
o
n
well
with
others
—
all
obviously
statistical
impossibilities.


We
rose
tint
our
memories
and
put
ourselves
into
self- affirming
situations.

We
become
defensive
when
criticized,
and
apply
negative
stereotypes
to
other
s
to
boost
our
own
esteem,
we
stalk
around
thinking
we’re
hot
stuff.



Psychologist
and
behavioral
scientist
Nicholas
Epley
oversaw
a
key
studyin
g
into
self- enhancement
and
attractiveness.
Rather
that
have
people
simply
rate

their
beauty
compress
with
others,
he
asked
them
to
identify
an
original
phot
ogragh
of
themselves’
from
a
lineup
including
versions
that
had
been
a
ltered
t
o
appear
more
and
less
attractive.
Visual
recognition,
reads
the
study,
is
“an
a
utomatic
psychological
process
occurring
rapidly
and
intuitively
with
little
or
n
o
apparent
conscious
deliberation”.
If
the
subjects
quickly
chose
a
falsely
flatte
ring
image-
which
must
did-
they
genuinely
believed
it
was
really
how
they
lo
oked.
Epley
found
no
significant
gender
difference
in
responses.
Nor
was
there

any
evidence
that,
those
who
self-enhance
the
must
(that
is,
the
participants
who
thought
the
most
positively
doctored
picture
were
real)
were
doing
so
to
make
up
for
profound
insecurities.
In
fact
those
who
thought
that
the
images
h











































igher
up
the
attractiveness
scale
were
real
directly
corresponded
with
those
wh
o
showed
other
makers
for
having
higher
self-este
em.
“I
don’t
think
the
findin
gs
that
we
having
have
are
any
evidence
of
personal
delusion”,
says
Epley.
“It’
s
a
reflection
simply
of
people
generally
thinking
well
of
themselves’.
If
you
are
depressed,
you
won’t
be
self
-enhancing.
Knowing
the
results
of
Ep
ley
‘s
st
udy,it
makes
sense
that
why
people
heat
photographs
of
themselves
Viscerally-
on
one
level,
they
don’t
even
recognise
the
person
in
the
picture
as
themselve
s,
Facebook
therefore
,is
a
self-
enhancer’s
paradise,where
people
can
share
only

the
most
flattering
photos,
the
cream
of
their
wit
,style
,beauty,
intellect
and
l
ifestyle
it’s
not
that
people’s

are
dishonest,sayscatalinatoma

they
portray
an
