　　答案及解析：
　　1.overweighted改为overweight
　　overweight本身就可以做形容词修饰people，不需要加ed。
$ T9 ~6 R, o8 A* ~/ g+ I$ c8 \4 Z5 M　　2.correlates后加with
　　Correlate应与with连用，表示“A与B有关联”。
　　3.therefore改为however
　　从上下文来看，这里是转折而不是因果。
5 M* ~2 D/ H. n" I# n* `　　4.excessive改为excess
1 p6 k/ ?  a, a# ?, N3 ]　　excess往往指数量上超过所需，多余。
　　excessive 往往有不赞同，否定的含义在里面，另外，excessive除了可以表示数量以外还可以表示程度，表达抽象概念。比如
% Z% W9 F) c. W# V3 B　　After cooking fish, pour off the excess fat.
　　The government says that local authority spending is excessive.
% q, S: i) t9 `0 D9 a　　5.associate 改为associated
　　associated 表示“关联的，相关的”。
5 `6 F& q- w# s: @* j　　6.about改为of
4 c" H; o, ^% A+ @$ g! o' x8 Y' W　　这里的意思是“与之相关的消化系统患癌症的危险实际上是饮食问题引起的，而非体重问题” ，about意思为“相关的”，这里应该为of，表性质。
+ f& Q4 L! H& F: b8 M8 p0 t( ?2 r& t　　7.or改为nor
　　neither应和nor连用表示两者皆否定，而not才和or连用。
5 ]5 P1 `% t' g5 T0 Z　　8.on改为to
: w4 w* y9 x2 X2 \, ?+ A: t" h　　9.hazardy改为hazardous
" ]7 O3 v4 \! \+ \$ Y: y% ^1 P　　hazard的形容词是hazardous而不是hazardy。
　　10.purely改为pure
