What is obesity
A.
When a person has excess weight or body fat, this might affect their health. It is usually caused by the consumption of more calories than the body can use. The excess calories are stored as fat. Obesity is a medical condition. It was first recognized as a disease in 1948 by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Obese people suffer from a large number of diseases. In most people, obesity is caused by eating too much and moving too little. There are different types of obesity.
B.
It’s never too late to become more physically active. Physical activity refers to any movement of the body that uses energy. It can include housework, walking and gardening. Exercise is a kind of physical activity. It is planned and repetitive. Examples of exercise are going to the gym and running on a treadmill. If you are interested in maintaining good health, physical activity can be a great place to start. If you want to achieve fitness goals, you will need to incorporate structured exercise into your routine.
C.
Exercising regularly is one of the most important things you can do for your health. In the short term, exercise helps to control appetite, boost mood and improve sleep. In the long term, it reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia and depression. Exercise plays a vital role in building and maintaining strong muscles and bones. Regular exercise also increases your chances of living longer. There are many types of physical activity, including swimming, running, jogging, walking and dancing.
D.
Sleep plays an essential role in your health and well-being. Getting enough good quality sleep has many benefits. It protects your physical and mental health, quality of life and personal safety. When we sleep, our brain lays down memory, restores daytime mental functioning and carries out processes that lead to physical growth. Poor sleep is strongly linked to weight gain. People with short sleep duration tend to weigh significantly more than those who get adequate sleep. Mental health issues are strongly linked to poor sleep quality.
E.
Sleep is a vital indicator of overall health and well-being. On average, adults should optimally receive between seven and nine hours of sleep each night, but those needs vary individually. For example, some people feel best with eight consecutive hours of sleep, while others do well with six to seven hours at night and daytime napping. Some people feel okay when their sleep schedule changes, while others feel strongly affected by a new schedule or even one night of insufficient sleep.
F.
Obesity develops when energy intake is greater than expenditure. Diet and physical activity play an important part in this. However, an additional factor may be inadequate sleep. A growing body of research suggests that there’s a link between how much people sleep and how much they weigh. In general, children and adults who get too little sleep tend to weigh more than those who get enough sleep. People who don’t get enough sleep may take in more calories than those who do, simply because they are awake longer and have more opportunities to eat.
G.
People find it harder to fall asleep when they are anxious and sad. The relationship between mood disorders and quality sleep is a complex, two-way street. Just as negative mood states can make getting a good night’s sleep a virtual impossibility, insufficient sleep can lead to depression. Regardless of which comes first, the end result is that a blue mood and poor sleep go hand-in-hand. The amount and quality of our sleep can play a huge role in our mental health including how we feel and how we act toward other people.

How modern journalism is changing the world
Without our knowledge, we humans would be no better than unintelligent animals. Journalists provide us with all of our knowledge on current events and occurrences around the world. With the boom in information and communication technology over the last two decades, the world of journalism has changed immensely. Today, we know about events across the world in real time. Mainstream media provides 24-hour news and regularly updates us with news and information from even the most remote parts of the world. Furthermore, social media sometimes leads to even faster dissemination of information.
All of this has led to a massive increase in the demand for journalists. In turn, this has made courses in journalism far more popular than ever before. To keep up with this demand, many top universities today offer related programmes. Additionally, they are modifying the syllabi of such programmes in order to better capture the impact of modern technology on journalism and thus enable their students to be better prepared for real world challenges. If you are interested in a career in journalism, then you must be curious to know how technology has transformed journalism today and, in turn, how modern journalism is changing the world. Let us therefore take a quick look at the three biggest changes that modern journalism has brought to the world.
Journalism is ubiquitous today, and the supply of news is far more widespread. In an earlier era, the latest news was only available to a privileged few in society. News agencies could charge high premiums for providing the latest news. Only the rich could afford such services. Modern journalism has changed this system completely. Today, the latest news is often first available on social media, and mainstream media then reports these posts. The net impact of all this is that today’s citizens are more aware of the news than ever before in history. A better informed society is one that can make more rational decisions. This has made it more difficult for deceitful governments to manipulate people.
The smartphone has greatly reduced privacy and lifted the veil of secrecy. You must have heard of several cases where ordinary citizens captured incidents and events on their smartphones and then circulated videos via social media. This has made it more difficult for those with vested interests to manipulate the truth and paint incidents in a more favourable light. The truth is there for all to see. In such a scenario, many mainstream media channels are trying to move away from traditional models and tap into the power of smartphones and social media. This will provide greater flexibility to its journalists and will enable them to cover news more quickly.
Censorship is no longer successful. When information is available freely and in plenty, then censorship cannot survive. Dictatorial regimes can no longer simply suppress unfavourable news and continue unaffected. Today’s citizens are better informed and hence are less tolerant of oppression. Dictatorship and oppression are on the wane, and democracy is on the rise. This is the most important way in which modern journalism is changing the world. What must be noted here is that as people get used to receiving more and more information in real time, they will have ever greater demand for further information and analysis. This means that the demand for professionals can only go upwards. Therefore, a career in journalism is easily one of the most attractive career choices today.
Which feature of news today is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?
1) It spreads quickly via social networks.
2) We learn about events as they happen.
3) Recent news is available round the clock.
4) Ordinary people become news providers.

3) To prepare students for the profession.
4) To make the programmes more attractive.
