On Mnday, the Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin predicted that 42% f Americans culd be verweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead t nt nly a medical prblem, but accrding t a recent article In The New Yrk Times, it culd als endanger persnal safety in sme situatins—in an airplane crash, fr example.
The New Yrk Times’ Christen Negrni reprts that engineers and scientists are questining whether airplane seats are adequately cnstructed t prtect verweight travelers. Gvernment standards fr airplane seat strength（强度）— first set me than 60 years ag — require that the seats be made fr a passenger weighing 170 punds (77kg). Tday, the average American man weighs nearly 194 punds (88kg) and the average wman 165 punds (75kg). Negrni reprts:
“If a heavier persn cmpletely fills seat, the seat is nt likely t behave as intended during a crash,” said Rbert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center fr Applied Bimechanics at the University f Virginia. “The energy absrptin that is built int the aircraft seat is likely t be verpwered and the passengers will nt be prtected prperly.”
“Nr wuld the injury be limited t that passenger nly,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat r a seat belt fails,” he said, “thse peple wh are seated nearby culd be endangered frm ‘the uncntrlled mvements f the passenger’.”
Mst cmplaints abut airplane seats fcus n their lack f cmfrt and high ticket price, and whether verweight passengers shuld be made t buy tw seats. But The New Yrk Times’ article brings up anther reasn t feel anxius abut flying. Investigatrs f the issue gt in tuch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused t cmment n the prblem. Experts agreed that crash testing shuld be dne with verweight dummies （人体模型）. Bth airplane seats and seat belts shuld be tested, they said.
Frtunately, hwever, accrding t Nra Marshall, a senir adviser at the Natinal Transprtatin Safety Bard, the bard’s investigatrs have never seen an accident invlving a cmmercial plane in which the weight f a passenger was a prblem.
8. What is the article in The New Yrk Times mainly cncerned with?
A. The size f airplane seats and seat belts.
B. Safety f verweight airplane passengers.
C. Airplane crashes invlving cmmercial planes.
D. A medical prblem caused by being verweight.
9. Rbert Salzar wuld prbably agree that .
A. verweight passengers shuld buy tw seats
B. the gvernment shuld help prduce safer planes
C. standards fr airplane seat strength shuld be raised
D. passengers shuld knw hw t prtect themselves

A. airplane seat makers have taken actin nw
B. there are few cmplaints abut airplane seats
C. thse seate near the verweight may suffer t
D. nly a small number f airplane accidents invlve the verweight
11. What is the best title fr the text?

On Mnday, the Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin predicted that 42% f Americans culd be verweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead t nt nly a medical prblem, but accrding t a recent article In The New Yrk Times, it culd als endanger persnal safety in sme situatins—in an airplane crash, fr example.
The New Yrk Times’ Christen Negrni reprts that engineers and scientists are questining whether airplane seats are adequately cnstructed t prtect verweight travelers. Gvernment standards fr airplane seat strength（强度）— first set me than 60 years ag — require that the seats be made fr a passenger weighing 170 punds (77kg). Tday, the average American man weighs nearly 194 punds (88kg) and the average wman 165 punds (75kg). Negrni reprts:
“If a heavier persn cmpletely fills seat, the seat is nt likely t behave as intended during a crash,” said Rbert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center fr Applied Bimechanics at the University f Virginia. “The energy absrptin that is built int the aircraft seat is likely t be verpwered and the passengers will nt be prtected prperly.”
“Nr wuld the injury be limited t that passenger nly,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat r a seat belt fails,” he said, “thse peple wh are seated nearby culd be endangered frm ‘the uncntrlled mvements f the passenger’.”
Mst cmplaints abut airplane seats fcus n their lack f cmfrt and high ticket price, and whether verweight passengers shuld be made t buy tw seats. But The New Yrk Times’ article brings up anther reasn t feel anxius abut flying. Investigatrs f the issue gt in tuch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused t cmment n the prblem. Experts agreed that crash testing shuld be dne with verweight dummies （人体模型）. Bth airplane seats and seat belts shuld be tested, they said.
Frtunately, hwever, accrding t Nra Marshall, a senir adviser at the Natinal Transprtatin Safety Bard, the bard’s investigatrs have never seen an accident invlving a cmmercial plane in which the weight f a passenger was a prblem.

D. A medical prblem caused by being verweight.
