　　Exercise Lowers Employers'Health Costs

　　Companies can save millions in health-care costs simply by encouraging their employees to

　　exercise a little bit，researchers reported on Friday

　　They said obese（肥胖的）employees had higher health.care costs，but lowered those

　　expenses by exercising just a couple of times a week——without even losing any weight.

　　Feifei Wang and colleagues at the University of Michigan studied 23，500 workers at

　　General Motors.

　　They estimated that getting the most sedentary（慣於久坐的）obese workers to exercise

　　would have saved about$790.000 a year.or about 1 5 percent of health—care costs for the whole

　　group

　　Company—wide，the potential savings could reach$7.1 million per year，they reposed in the

　　Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

　　Of the whole group of workers，about 30 percent were of normal weight，45 percent were

　　overweight（超重的），and 25 percent were obese.Annual health—care costs averaged$2，200 for

　　normal weight，$2，400 for the overweight，and$2，700 for obese employees.

　　But among workers who did no exercise，health.care costs went“p by at least$100 a year，

　　and were$3.000 a year for obese employees who were sedentary.

　　But adding two or more days of light exercise——at least 20 minutes of exercise or work

　　hard enough to increase heart rate and breathing——lowered costs by on average$500 per

　　employee a year，the researchers found.

　　41 How can employees help lower the health—care costs？

　　A By taking more rest.

　　B By eating less.

　　C By exercising a little bit.

　　D By saving more money.

　　42 By encouraging its employees to exercise General Motors could save

　　A$790，000 per year.

　　B $7.1 million per year.

　　C $3.000 per year.

　　D$7.300 per year.

　　43 How many workers in General Motors were NOT of normal weight？

　　A Seventy percent.

　　B Thirty percent

　　C Forty-five percent

　　D Twenty—five percent.

　　44 For which group of the workers were the health—care costs the highest？

　　A The employees of normal weight.

　　B The overweight employees

　　C The obese employees.

　　D The sedentary obese employees

　　45 How often should the employees exercise to help lower the health-care costs？

　　A At least seven days a week
