I run every morning and evening. What else can I do?” Basically you can do nothing. Your genes, not your life habits, determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it.How can obese (肥胖的) people become normal or even thin through dieting? Well, dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous. Charles Steinmetz, a research physician at Duke University, did a study of ten fat people. They were given liquid formula providing 600 calories a day. After more than 12 weeks, the subjects lost 45kg on average. But after leaving the hospital. They all regained weight. The results were surprising: by metabolic(新陈代谢的) measurement, fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving. They dreamed of food or breaking their diet. They were anxious and depressed; some were suicidal. They hid food in their rooms. Researchers warn that it is possible that weight reduction doesnt result in normal weight, but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non-obese people.Thin people, however, suffer from the opposite: they have to make a great effort to gain weight. William Simmons, of Washington State University, got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight. In four to six months, they eat as much as they could. They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 to 25 percent. But months after the study ended they were back to normal weight and stayed there. This does not mean that people are completely without hope in controlling their weight. It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly battle their genetic inheritance if they want to significantly lower their weight. The findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was true-each person has a comfortable weight range (范围). The range might be as much as 9kg. Someone might weigh 60-69kg without too much effort. But going above or below the natural weight range is difficult. The body resists by feeling hungry or full and changing the metabolism to push the weight back to the range it seeks.11. What determines your weight according to the first paragraph?A. Your working mannerB. Your eating habit C. Your life styleD. Your genes12. What did Charles Steinmetz do to the ten fat people in his research?A. He let them live only on liquid food.B.

They killed themselves.C. They were back to the original weightD. They attempted suicide.14. William Simmons made his subjects_.A. Battle their genetic inheritanceB. eat as much as they couldC. Suffer from hungerD. lower their weight15. What did scientists think was true?A. Each person wants to eat to his or her hearts content.B. Each person has a weight range of 9kg.C. Each person wants to control his or her height.D. Each person has a suitable weight range.Passage2Questions 16-20 are based on the following passageMany people believe the glare from snow causes snow blindness. Yet, wearing dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow blindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow light”.The Canadian Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather , a mans eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of barren snow-covered terrain. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offsets this irritation by producing more fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs, then is obscured, and the result is total, even though temporary, snow blindness .Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts, ahead of a main body of troops, are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape; even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop scouring the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow blind or lost .In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome.16. To prevent headaches, watering eyes and blindness caused by glare from snow, dark glasses are .A. indispensable B. ineffective C. useful D. ease the irritation 17. When the eyes ache, tears are produced to . A. loosen the muscles B. remedy snow blindness C. clear the vision D. ease the irritation18. Snow blindness may be avoided by .A. concentrating to the solid white terrain B. searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrain C. providing the eyes with something to focus on D. covering the eyeballs with fluid19. The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes in order to .A. leave the men behind something to see B. beautify the landscapeC. warm themselves in the cold D. prevent the men behind from losing their way20. A proper title for this passage would be .A. Snow Blindness and How to Overcome It B. Nature s Cure for Snow BlindnessC. Soldiers in the Snow D.

The amount of sleep 31 depends on the age of the person and the conditions in which sleep takes place.
