I got interested in the idea of standing desks about a year ago. The health advantages of standing instead of sitting for eight hours a day are clear, so when the company Ergotron invited me to review their WorkFit C-Mod Dual Desk, I jumped out of my chair---really.

After several hours putting the desk together, I finally got to try it out. The standing desk had a desktop that I could use for writing.

At first I absolutely loved it. Standing during the day instead of sitting was fantastic. Although I felt more tired after all that standing during the day, I knew the health benefits were worth the slight discomfort. However, after the initial novelty (新奇)of the desk wore off, I realized that I could not use it in the long term.

It was just not practical. While using the desk for a month , I could definitely foresee problems arising from using it full time.

I enjoy having a lot of things on my desk. The standing desk just did not have enough room for all of my things.

I can easily foresee awkward situations when I put that desk in an office space. When someone comes into your office, does your guest have to stand as well? If you office is big enough, maybe you have room for two chairs for you and a visitor, which is great. Yet for the ordinary worker in a small office, the standing desk creates a very awkward situation.

Additionally, the amount of money I would have to spend to replace my current workspace with a standing desk was another issue. The desks I have looked at were highly expensive.

Yes, spending the day standing can offset(抵消) many of the negative effects of too much sitting, but we humans are designed for movement. Through activity changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, you can easily increase the time you spend on your feet. Best of all, those options are completely free.

The United States is facing a growing concern: rising obesity(肥胖) rates. A new report says adult obesity rates rose last year in 23 of the 50 states. And, the percentage of obese children was at or above 30% in 30 states. Mississippi had the highest rate of adult obesity in the new study. 32.5% of the state’s adults were obese. Mississippi also had the highest rate of obese and overweight children. 44.4% of all children between the ages of ten and seventeen years were obese or overweight.
The study used a system of measurement called the Body Mass Index(B-M-I) to define words like obese and overweight. To find your B-M-I, divide your weight in kilograms by height in meters squared. A normal B-M-I is between 18.5 and 24.9. The B-M-I of someone overweight is between 25 and 29.5. And, an obese person has a B-M-I above 30.
The new report says widespread obesity is increasing the rates of long-lasting diseases, such as heart disease. Obesity is also responsible for an increasing part of health care costs in the United States. Health care costs have grown while many Americans are getting fatter. A lack of physical exercise, watching TV too much and eating junk food contribute to the rising obesity rate. The report says the current economic recession(经济衰退) could worsen obesity rates by increasing food prices. This would make healthy foods cost more. The report blames the recession for rising rates of depression, anxiety and stress, which are closely linked to obesity in many cases.
The report offers some ideas for dealing with obesity within government health care reforms. They include making sure that every adult and child has a right to preventive medical services. Also, people should do more physical exercise, drive less and eat less junk food to fight obesity.

今年全国的“两会”胜利召开，其中“幸福感”成为蹿升最快的热词之一。当今社会经济发展，人们生活富足，但是幸福感却在减低。有专家指出了以下的一些现象：

现代人把主要精力都投入到竞争中，比职位、比房子、比财富……比来比去，人们的心里只剩下欲望，没有了幸福。一旦人追求的不是如何幸福，而是怎么比别人幸福时，幸福也就离你远去了。而在经过20多年冲刺般的财富赛跑后，一些人除了赚钱，不知道人生中的目标与追求到底是什么，甚至不知道自己究竟想要什么。这种缺乏信念与理想的状态，难以产生长久、快乐的幸福感。美国哈佛大学一项研究曾显示，在生活中多去帮助他人，能让自己感到更快乐。但现代社会中，乐于无私奉献的人越来越少，斤斤计较的人越来越多。如果你总算计着“我能从中得到什么”、“做这件事值不值得”，就会生活的很累。还有，现在能知足的人越来越少了，有了房子想换更大的，有了工作想换更好的，有了钱想赚得更多……这些欲望，指使着人无休止地奔波劳碌，硬撑着去争取登上那“辉煌”的顶峰。

请用简练的语言从以上现象中归纳出当今人们幸福感缺失的原因。（写出两点）
