To many people the cause is obvious （明显的）: they eat too much. But scientific evidence （证据） does little to support this idea.
24、 Going back to America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food.

25、ge than thinner people. A 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers showed that fat people eat less than slim （苗条的） people.Studies also show that slim people are more active than fat people.

29、emsDThe values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism, are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless
30、 productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kind are different from todays popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of taste are uniform（不变的） in human nature,” the value of some works of art might be essenti
