For the most part, rapid economic development has been a favor. But there is a down side to development -- health problems such as overweight are all becoming more common, as more people take taxis to work instead of riding their bicycles, and other labour-saving devices become more popular. An increasingly fast pace of life makes it difficult for people to spend time playing sports. “I know exercise is good for your health,” a young lady said. “ But after a busy work week, the only thing I want to do is watch some TV and go to sleep.” That attitude may explain the results of a recent nationwide study, which suggested 15 percent of urban adults in China have heart problems. Local researchers found that 31. 2 percent of elderly respondents (受访者) were getting enough exercise, but less than 9 percent of youngsters and the middle-aged got enough physical activity. Elderly people understand the importance of protecting their health. The young people, however, are busy working and use this as an excuse
