The largestever study of the link between city walkability and high blood pressure has been considered as evidence of the invisible value of urban design in improving longterm health outcomes say researchers The study of around 430000 people aged between 38 and 73 and living in 22 UK cities found significant connections between the increased walkability of a neighborhood and reduced risk of high blood pressure among its residents (居民)
The results remained the same even after lifestyles and physical environment were changed though the protective effects were particularly pronounced among participants aged between 50 and 60 women and those living in heavily populated areas and poor neighborhoods
The paper was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health With high blood pressure a major risk factor for chronic (慢性) and particularly heart diseases researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Oxford University said the findings showed the need to take notice of the healthinfluencing factor in urban design
We are spending billions of pounds in preventing and curing heart diseases — if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activityfriendly and walkable then probably we will have significant savings in future healthcare expenses
Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving and were harmful to social communication and as such related to poorer mental and physical health
Because walkability was based on the potential (潜) design of the city said Dr Chinmoy Sarkar cities could be adapted or designed to encourage it Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in longterm gains as they are lasting and common
32 What is probably the result if we consider invisible value of urban design
A The ageing population will be reduced
B Our cities will be more walkable and activityfriendly
C More money will be invested in preventing and curing heart diseases
D The pace of urbanization will be slowed down
33 What can be inferred from the study
A Young people are more likely to benefit from increased walkability
B Walkable cities will cure a person of his or her high blood pressure
C Chronic diseases are becoming common for people’s inattention to their health
D Walkable cities can help reduce blood pressure and the risk of heart diseases
34 What isn’t the effects of poorlydesigned neighborhoods
A Worse economy B Unhealthy lifestyle
C Fewer social communication D Poorer health
35 What does Dr Chinmoy Sarkar mean
A Cities should encourage the residents to engage in social communication
B The design of our neighborhoods should meet people’s needs for shopping
C Money invested in creating healthy cities is money saved in future healthcare expenses
D Chronic diseases will be common because of pollution and the environment change

The largestever study of the link between city walkability and high blood pressure has been considered as evidence of the invisible value of urban design in improving longterm health outcomes say researchers The study of around 430000 people aged between 38 and 73 and living in 22 UK cities found significant connections between the increased walkability of a neighborhood and reduced risk of high blood pressure among its residents (居民)
The results remained the same even after lifestyles and physical environment were changed though the protective effects were particularly pronounced among participants aged between 50 and 60 women and those living in heavily populated areas and poor neighborhoods
The paper was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health With high blood pressure a major risk factor for chronic (慢性) and particularly heart diseases researchers at the University of Hong Kong and Oxford University said the findings showed the need to take notice of the healthinfluencing factor in urban design
We are spending billions of pounds in preventing and curing heart diseases — if we are able to invest in creating healthy cities through small changes in the design of our neighborhoods to make them more activityfriendly and walkable then probably we will have significant savings in future healthcare expenses
Poorly designed spaces generally reduced walking and physical activity promoting the lifestyles of long time sitting down and not moving and were harmful to social communication and as such related to poorer mental and physical health
Because walkability was based on the potential (潜) design of the city said Dr Chinmoy Sarkar cities could be adapted or designed to encourage it Such investments in healthy design are likely to bring in longterm gains as they are lasting and common
32 What is probably the result if we consider invisible value of urban design
A The ageing population will be reduced
B Our cities will be more walkable and activityfriendly
C More money will be invested in preventing and curing heart diseases
D The pace of urbanization will be slowed down
33 What can be inferred from the study
A Young people are more likely to benefit from increased walkability
B Walkable cities will cure a person of his or her high blood pressure
C Chronic diseases are becoming common for people’s inattention to their health
D Walkable cities can help reduce blood pressure and the risk of heart diseases
34 What isn’t the effects of poorlydesigned neighborhoods
A Worse economy B Unhealthy lifestyle
C Fewer social communication D Poorer health
35 What does Dr Chinmoy Sarkar mean
A Cities should encourage the residents to engage in social communication
B The design of our neighborhoods should meet people’s needs for shopping
C Money invested in creating healthy cities is money saved in future healthcare expenses
D Chronic diseases will be common because of pollution and the environment change
