Section IV- Reading Comprehension (20 Points)

Read about a government scheme to keep people healthy and complete the followings.
Local governments have had to take on a new responsibility; that of ensuring that
people stay fit and healthy. Birmingham council is already hot on the case. For the past
few years, they have been encouraging local residents to enroll on the Be active scheme,
which allows them to use local leisure services completely free of charge.
Participants must register to obtain a membership card. They can then use the facilities
in leisure centers across the city at certain times of the day.
29 leisure centers are signed up to the scheme. Each leisure center must offer a
minimum of one hour of swimming time and an hour of gym time to Be
Active members. In reality, in some establishments in the more deprived areas, 70% of
opening hours are reserved for Be Active members. Exercise classes and badminton
courts are also made available on top of the standard facilities. Be Active classes are also
being provided in schools and community centers. There are guided bike rides, and
even proposals to roll out activities in public spaces such as rounders games in parks,
and buggy pushes for new mothers.
Since it was launched in 2008, a third of the local population, a total of 360,000 people,
has signed up for the scheme. 60% of these are from minority groups, and the average
age is 49, as opposed to 29, the figure for private gyms. The majority were not
previously members of a sports club of any kind, half were overweight or obese, and a
fifth considered themselves to be in poor health, indicating that the scheme is reaching
the people who need it most. Research also shows that since the scheme was set up,
there has been a rise in demand for information about reducing alcohol intake and
quitting smoking.
Statistics show that for every £1 spent on the Be Active scheme, £23 is saved in the
health service. Sadly, the scheme has suffered from budget cuts, and lately it has had to
reduce the hours available to members. Nonetheless, other councils are interested in
the great strides made by Birmingham council, and officials from Birmingham have
been holding workshops with representatives from other councils to spread the word
about what can be achieved.

1. The Be Active scheme started up earlier this year

2. Everyone in Birmingham is eligible for Be Active.
3. Participants must pay a one-off fee to register.
4. Participants can use the leisure facilities at any time of day.
5. Participants can use their Be Active membership cards at any sports center in
Birmingham.
6. Participants can only use the leisure facilities for two hours per week.
7. Some sports centers dedicate over half their opening hours to Be Active members.
8. Some Be Active activities take place outside leisure centers.
9. The Be Active scheme was not as popular as the council hoped.
10. The Be Active scheme attracts both slim and overweight people.
11. The majority of participants are White British.
12. The scheme is saving the government money in health costs.
13. Less money is available for Be Active now than in the past.
14. The Be Active Scheme is currently only available in Birmingham.
