New York City was dealing with a growing public health threat Sunday after tests confirmed (證實(shí)) that eight students at a private Catholic high school had contracted（感染）the same strain of the AH1N1 flu that has ravaged (重創(chuàng)) Mexico . Some of the school’s students had visited Cancun on a spring break trip two weeks ago .

Officials reported 68 U.S. cases of AH1N1 flu in five states so far , with the latest in Ohio and New York . Unlike in Mexico , cases in the United State have been mild – and U.S. health authorities can’t yet explain why .

In New York City , Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that there were 45 cases , Mayor Michael Bloomberg said .

About 100 students at St. Francis Preparatory School complained of flu-like symptoms(癥狀) ; further tests will determine how many of those cases are AH1N1 flu.

Bloomberg stressed that the New York cases were mild and many are recovering , but said that some family members of students also had flu symptoms .

In Mexico , health officials say a strain of AH1N1 flu has killed up to 160 people and sickened over 2, 000 . New York officials said the flu strain discovered in the patients here is the same strain as in Mexico , though all the New York cases are mild .

AH1N1 flu is a respiratory (呼吸道) disease of pigs caused by type A flu viruses . Human cases are uncommon but can occur in people who are around pigs . It also can be spread from person to person . Symptoms include a high fever , body aches , coughing , sore throat and respiratory congestion .

   About 1 million adult New Yorkers are obese(肥胖的), but nearly two-thirds of them don’t think they are, according to a study released on Tuesday by the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene(衛(wèi)生).

    Among the obese, who account for about one in five New Yorkers, only 39% described themselves as “very overweight”, according to the report. 2% said they were very underweight, 1% said they were slightly underweight, 16% said they were just right and 42% said they were slightly over weight.

     Some 2 million more New Yorkers are overweight, the report said, and one in five children in kindergarten is obese.

     Only 44% of the city’s adults are at a healthy weight, and nearly 75% say they do not participate in(參加) any regular physical activity.

     New York City’s adult obesity rate was 20% in 2003 compared with 23% nationwide in 2004.The national average has nearly doubled from 12% in 1993, the report said.

    Overweight and obese are defined by body mass index, or BMI (= kg/m) , which is based on a person’s weight , adjusted(調(diào)整) for height, the department said.

    Being obese means having a BMI of 30 or greater, while being overweight means a BMI of more than 25 but less than 30.

    A 5-foot, 10-inch (1.78-meter) man weighing 175 pounds(79kg) would have a BMI of 25.1 and be considered overweight according to the department . If he weighed 210 pounds (95kg), he would have a BMI of 30.1 and be obese.

    The report came from results of the department’s 2002 and 2003 yearly telephone surveys of some 10,000 adults.

  A.5,000,000  B. 2,000,000  C. 1,000,000 D. 500,000
