C. READING: 
I. Read the passage carefully and do the task. 
Thin people who do not exercise may carry lots of dangerous internal fat, warn doctors in the 
United Kingdom. Since1994, researchers at Imperial College London have scanned nearly 800 
people with MRI machines to determine where they store fat. People who maintain their weight 
through diet rather than exercise were found to be likely to have major deposits of internal fat, 
even if they appear slim. As many as 45 percent of the women and 60 percent of the men with 
normal Body Mass Index were found to have excessive levels of internal fat. The doctors 
concluded that skinny but sedentary people are at a much higher risk of mortality than those who 
are overweight but active.

Over a long period of time, the great stone temples and towers were gradually weathered and 
damaged. They were partly restored from the early years of the 20th century to the 1960s by 
French scientists. But the civil war which broke out in 1970 in Cambodia did a lot of damage this 
cultural treasure which belongs to the whole world. It is said that only three workers who had the 
special skills necessary for doing the repair work lived through the war. 
In the 1980s, researchers were sent from Japan and eight other countries to study how to repair 
the damage and preserve the remains of the old cultural assets. Only in the summer of 1996 was 
the repair work actually started.
