职称英语综合A完型填空原文 特别说明：原文来自于职称英语教材综合类补全短文第十二篇 第十二篇：Obesity Causes Global Warming The list of ills attributable to obesity keeps growing: Last week, obese people were accused of causing global warming. This conclusion comes from Sheldon Jacobson of the University of Illinois, US, and a doctoral student, Laura McLay. Their study calculates how much extra gasoline is needed to haul fat Americans around. The answer, they say, is a billion gallons of gas per year. ____1____ There has been calls for taxes on junk food2 in recent years. ____2____”We tax cigarettes partly because of their health cost,” Schmidt said. “Similarly, leading a lazy life style will end up costing taxpayers more.” US political scientist Eric Oliver said his first instinct was to laugh at these gas and fast food arguments.
