Theres no need to run. Just going (e.g.) for.... a brisk walk in the park, around the block may be enough to help keep
your heart healthy, a small study suggests.
The study indicates that roughly two (11) . three hours of mild exercise a week at a moderate intensity can significantly

15cut the risk of cardiovascular disease. The classic question always is: Whats the minimum amount I need to do to enjoy the
benefits (12) .. it said Brian Duscha, the lead author of the research published in (13) . October issue of the journal,
Chest. If you just walk 12 miles a week at a brisk pace, its scientifically proven now that you will get some benefits.
The conclusions are based on a study at Duke University Medical Center of 133 middle-aged overweight men and women (14)
.. had a risk of heart disease.
20Broken into four groups, the volunteers either (15) . not exercise, walked briskly for 12 miles a week at a moderate

intensity, walked briskly or jogged slowly 12 miles a week at a vigorous intensity, or jogged 20 miles a week at a vigorous
intensity. The researchers studied measurements (16) fitness time taken to reach exhaustion, and oxygen consumption.
The better shape a person (17) in, the more oxygen can be consumed and used.
All (18) exercise groups saw fitness improvements. And (19) . the two groups that walked 12 miles at differing

25intensity levels were compared, there wasnt a significant difference (20) . peak oxygen consumption. There was an
improvement for (21) .. who jogged 20 miles a week, an indication that the amount of exercise can be important. People
who dont exercise and maintain the same diet will gain (22) to 4 pounds a year.
(23) .. if you think you arent gaining any benefits because you arent losing weight, dont stop exercising. Moderate
activity is certainly better than (24) activity.
30A large study based on medical records and questionnaires of more than 40,000 middle-aged men a few years ago (25).

suggested that moderate exercise helps the heart.

WILL CHINESE CONSUMERS RESCUE WORLD ECONOMY?

When CEOs and professional investors in

developed economies go to bed these days, some
may pray for protection from markets in turmoil,
10share prices in the cellar and angry financial gods
bringing fire and brimstone with every check of
their Bloomberg terminal or the front pages of
The Wall Street Journal.
"Spend, China," they whisper. "Spend."

15

The dream of China is the life preserver

many multinational corporations are clinging to, not
without some reason. The recent Shanghai Auto
Show perhaps showed that like no other. More than
half a million people attended, including 1,500
20automotive manufacturers from around the world.
Carmakers decided to use Shanghai as the
launching point for 13 new models, most notably
Porsche introduced its first four-door sedan, the
Panamera, flanked by Chinese models and
25surrounded by a rapturous crowd of the world press.
It's telling that such an important debut took place in
China, rather than the company's home in StuttgartZuffenhausen, where the German automotive
industry is being buffeted by the high winds of the
30credit crisis.
While the Big Three from Detroit are fighting
for their lives, China has more than 100 domestic car
makers competing with multinational carmakers to
get a piece of the growing Chinese car market. For
35the first quarter of the year, 2.7 million cars were sold
in China -- besting U.S. sales of 2.2 million for the
first time to become the world's largest car market.
General Motors may be on the verge of filing
for bankruptcy protection, but it has one bright spot
40on its balance sheets - China, where sales are
expected to rise 17 percent this year, according to
Kevin Wale, chief executive of GM China. While
analysts predict global car sales WILL fall more than
8 percent this year, sales in China grew 10 percent in
45March, according to the Chinese government. "You
have to be here, and you have to be here in a serious
way," Dieter Zetsche, Daimler CEO, told CNN.
The automobile industry's hopes for China
are emblematic for nearly every industry in the
50world. A Nielsen consumer confidence index shows
Chinese consumers are more optimistic than most

consumers elsewhere, rating 89 points compared to

the global average of 77.

But all is not well in China. Before

55Lehman Brothers went belly up last September,
an open question among financial academics was
the issue of "decoupling"- the belief that
developing markets such as China could absorb a
drop in export business with increased domestic
60spending. But the ripple effect of Lehman's
collapse created uncertainty -- growth in China is
expected to drop to 6 percent this year from an
average exceeding 10 percent in recent years,
experts say.While that may sound enviable to
65Western companies, analysts say China needs 8
percent growth to maintain current employment
levels. "For a while it seemed China was
relatively immune to the impact of the credit
crisis, then the collapse of Lehman Brothers
70showed it wasn't," said Joseph Zveglich,
assistant chief economist at the Asian
Development Bank.
And even as Western companies clamor for
the China market, it's an open question of whether
75Chinese consumers - be they nouveau riche or just
emerging from poverty - are interested in foreign
goods. But let's not forget the annual per capita
income in China is just $1,000.
"There is a misconception that Western

80companies are good at penetrating the Chinese

market," said Frederic Neumann, a senior economist
at HSBC. "We see a lot (of penetration) in the auto
sector and top end of the luxury market, but if you
look at broad Chinese consumption trends, Western
85companies don't have the cachet" of local Chinese
brand names.
"We see the top-end (consumer spending)
weakening and consumption moving inland ... which
suggests the best placed companies will be Chinese
90companies themselves, not Western multinationals,"
he said.

_____________ (63.) than elsewhere. But will high sales characterize other __________ (64.) as well?
