阅读下面短文，然后判断短文后面 32～35题的陈述，正确的答案涂“T”，错误的答案涂“F”。
Chinese people are getting bigger. More and more Chinese people are overweight. According to an incomplete
statistic（不完全数据）, about 23% Chinese boys under 20 are overweight, while for girls it is 14%. China is listed
as the second most overweight country in the world, after the US.
Part of the reason is our growing economy. Chinese families now make enough money to buy more food,
especially fatty food such as meat. In 1980, people in China ate 12.7 kg of meat on average（平均）. The number
increased to 63 kg in 2018. It is 10 times more than 50 years ago. And many people also eat a lot of fast food. They
take in a lot of fatty food but exercise little. Each year, 2.8 million adults die of diabetes（肥胖症） and heart
diseases.
It’s time for us to pay attention to our healthy lifestyles. To stay healthy, people should eat less sugar and fat.
People need to have less soft drinks, candies, and red meat, too. We should especially eat more vegetables and fruit.
We should also exercise more to keep fit. Children need to do at least an hour of exercise every day, such as
running or playing football. Many children now take part in some special summer camps to lose weight. It’s very
important for children to grow up happily.
32．China is listed as the most overweight country in the world.
33．In China, about 28,000,000 adults die of diabetes and heart diseases every year.
34．To stay healthy, people need to have less red meat and more fruit.
