Passage One

You hear this; "No wonder you are fat. All you ever do is eatJ'You feel sad." I skip my breakfast and supper. 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 people become normal or even thin through dieting? Well, dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous. Jules Hirsch, a research physician

at Rockefeller University, did a study of eight fat people. They were given a liquid

formula providing 600 calories a day. After more than 10 weeks,the subjects lost 45kg on

average. But after leaving the hospital, they all regained. The results were surprising; by

metabolic measurement, fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they

were starving. They had psychiatric problems. 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 doesn't 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. Ethan Sims, of the University of Vermont, got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight. In four to six months, they ate 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 did 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. 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 manner.

B) Your eating habit.

C) Your life style.

12. What did Jules Hirsch do to the ten fat people in his research?

A) He let them live only on liquid food.

B) He let them skip breakfast.

C) He let them run every morning and evening.

D) He let them skip supper.

13. What happened to the ten fat people after they left the hospital?

A) They went mad.

B) They killed themselves.

C) They were back to the original weight.

D) They attempted suicide.

14. Ethan Sims made his subjects

A) battle their genetic inheritance.

B) eat as much as they could.

C) suffer from hunger.

D) lower their weight.

15. What did scientist think was true?

A) Each person wants to eat to his or her heart's content.

B) Each person has a weight ranger of 9kg.

C) Each person wants to control his or weight.

D) Each person has a suitable weight range.

Passage Two

Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow blindness. Yet, 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 United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, A man's 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 eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offsets this irritation by producing more and more fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs, and 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 have 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.

19. The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes in order to .

A) leave the men behind something to see

B) beautify the landscape

C) warm themselves in the cold

D) prevent the men behind from losing their way

Enough sleep is important to health. The amount of sleep 31 depends on the age of the person and the conditions in which sleep takes place.
