根据以下材料，回答题

The Fat Problem That Men Face

It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight. Listening to them is not such a pleasure. Because the men are new at the game， they don"t hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However， women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem， especially not in mixed company. They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity. Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.

The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary. The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30"s， but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms. I"ve watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke. His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety. He tells me， with a sheepish grin， that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them "ailored."

Still-older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly. Often， wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals. Take my oldest brother， a former college football player， as an example. His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out， "Fat， medium or thin？" She knows the correct answer: medium. Thin would be an obvious stretch， and fat may not get her that new video. According to his wife， he stands in front of the mirror in the morning （before the day"s meals take their toll）， puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend， then clutches the roll that has developed and says， "Am I getting fatter？"

His wife is expected to answer， "You look like you may have lost a few pounds."

And then there are the ex-husbands， a pitiful group. They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movies with one， he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasn"t eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie， we sprint to a restaurant， where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread. Before he orders his chaste salad and soup， he grows plaintive. Do I think he"s fat？

Men of a certain age are always ready to talk about their fat problem. 查看材料

根据以下材料，回答题

A New Drug for Losing Weight

Scientists have developed a slimming drug that successfully suppresses appetite and results in a dramatic loss of weight without any apparent ill effects. The drug interferes with appetite control and prevents the build-up of fatty tissue. More importantly， the drug appears to prevent a serious decline metabolic rate——causing tiredness and lethargy——which is typically associated with living on a starvation diet. S a result， mice taking the drug lost 45 percent more weight than mice fed the same amount of food， which compensate for the lack of food by becoming more sluggish.

The scientists， from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore， said that C75 is likely to produce a similar effect on humans because appetite control in the brain is thought to be based largely on the same chemical pathways as those in mice. "We are not claiming to have found the fabled weight-loss drug. What we have found， using C75， is a major path way in the brain that the body uses naturally in regulating appetite at least in mice，" said Francis Kuhajda， a pathologist and senior team member. "We badly need effective drugs for weight loss. Obesity is a huge problem.

We"re hoping to explore the possibilities of this new pathway，" he said.

Discovering a biochemical. Pathway in the brain that controls appetite raises new prospects for eloping slimming aids. Research on leptin， a hormone produced in fatty tissue for controlling fat deposits， has so far failed to produce the expected slimming drug break-through. The latest study， published in the journal Science， showed that even moderate doses of C75 produced a significant loss of appetite， which returned to normal after a few months.

The scientists believe that C75， which they produced synthetically in the laboratory， binds to an enzyme called fatty acid sythase， which is involved in storing excess food intake as fat.

Inhibiting enzyme causes a build-up of a chemical in the liver which acts as a precursor to fat deposition. This precursor is thought to have an indirect effect on the brain， causing appetite suppression.

Normally， when animals fast， a hormone called neuropeptide Y increases sharply in the appe-tite control centers of the brain， stimulating the desire for food. However， when animals are given C75， levels of this hormone fall， leading to a loss of interest in food. Dr Kuhajda said discovering that C75 has no effect on metabolic rate is one of the most significant findings of the study. "If you try to lose weight by starving， your metabolism slows down after a few days，" he said. "It"s a survival mechanism that sabotages many diets. We see this in fasting mice. Yet metabolic rate in the C75-treated mice doesn"t slow at all. "Further animals studies will be needed before C75 could be tested on humans.

Living on a starvation diet may result in __________. 查看材料

A.a dramatic loss of weight without any ill effects

B.a long-term loss of interest in eating

C.a slowdown of fat deposition

D.fatigue and inactivity

"A lot of people feel helpless at the thought of ____55____ everything--diet, lifestyle," says Bess Marcus,professor of human behavior. at Brown University Medical School. "So ask yourself, &39; ____56____ do I want to start？ What am I willing to focus on？&39;"

The ____57____ depends on everything from what you hope to ____58____ to how our life is ____59 .____

If you are in a big hurry to drop pounds ____60____, dieting is the way to go. Decades of ____61____ have shown it&39;s the surest and quickest method. If you are more ____62____ with how you look than with numbers on the scale, though, ____63____ may be the way go to. By increasing physical activity, you&39;ll ____64____ fat and build muscle tissue.____65____ often end up losing both fat and muscle tissue.

Your best approach is one that suits your lifestyle. If you&39;ve tried and fail at one approach, consider the other. "A lot of people have so disappointed that they begin to think they&39;ll never be able to lose weight," says Marcus. "That&39;s when it&39;s time to try something new.

根据下面材料，回答题。

Eat More, Weigh Less, Live Longer

Clever genetic detective work may have found out the reason why a near-starvation diet prolongs the life of many animals.

Ronald Kahn at Harvard Medical School in Boston, U.S., and his colleagues have been able to extend the lifespan (寿命) of mice by 18 per cent by blocking the rodent&39;s (啮齿动物) increase of fat in specific cells. This suggests that thinness--and not necessarily diet--promotes long life in"calorie (热量卡) restricted" animals.

"It&39;s very cool work," says aging researcher Cynthia Kenyon of the University of California,San Francisco. "These mice eat all they want, lose weight and live longer. It&39;s like heaven."

Calorie restriction dramatically extends the lifespan of organisms as different as worms and rodents. Whether this works in humans is still unknown partly because few people are willing to submit to such a strict diet.

But many researchers hope they will be able to trigger the same effect with a drug once they understand how less food leads to a longer life. One theory is that eating less reduces the increase of harmful things that can damage cells. But Kahn&39;s team wondered whether the animals simply benefit by becoming thin.

To find out, they used biology tricks to disrupt the insulin (胰岛素) receptor (受体) gene in lab mice, but only in their fat cells. "Since insulin is needed to help fat cells store fat, these animals were protected against becoming fat," explains Kahn.

This slight genetic change in a single tissue had dramatic effects. By three months of age,Kahn&39;s modified mice had up to 70 per cent less body fat than normal control mice, despite the fact that they ate 55 per cent more food per gram of body weight.

In addition, their lifespan increased. The average control mouse lived 753 days, while the thin rodents averaged a lifespan of 887 days. After three years, all the control mice had died, but one-quarter of the modified rodents were still alive.

"That they get these effects by just manipulating the fat cells is controversial," says Leonard Guarente of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who studies calorie restriction and aging.

But Guarente says Kahn has yet to prove that the same effect is responsible for increased lifespan in calorie-restricted animals. "It might be the same effect or there might be two routes to long life," he points out,."and that would be very interesting."

Ronald Kahn and his colleagues can make mice live longer by__________. 查看材料

A.offering them less food

B.giving them a balanced diet

C.disrupting the specific genes in their fat cells

D.preventing them growing larger

根据以下材料，回答题

"Feed Me Better"

When British TV Chef Jamie Oliver launched his "Feed Me Better" campaign in 2004 in schools in the Greenwich area of London with the aim of improving the diet of British schoolchildren， some people were skeptical about the impact it would have. Oliver"s highly-publicized television campaign to improve school lunches led to dramatic changes in the meals offered to pupils in the Greenwich schools. In order to achieve his aim， Oliver needed to show schools how to swap （交换） cheap processed meals， which were high in saturated fat （饱和脂肪 ） salt， and sugar， for healthier options.

Now， research at the Institute for Social and Economic Research （ISER） has shown that Oliver"s experiment did not only help pupils eat more healthily， it also resulted in them performing better at school in English and Science and in helping schools reduce their rates of absenteeism （缺勤）. The ISER study， carried out by Michele Belot and Jonathan James， showed "substantial" positive effects， with the performance of 11-year-old pupils eating Oliver"s meals improving by up to 8% in Science and by as much as 6% in English. In addition， the number of children having

authorized absences for sickness since 2004 showed a 14% decrease.

The ISER study analyzed the academic test results of more than 13，000 children in Greenwich between 2002 and 2007 to evaluate the impact of Oliver"s healthier meals on school performance.

Pupils who sat exams in 2006-2007 had been on the new diet for at least 12 months， and the researchers found that the number of pupils reaching higher levels of achievement had clearly risen.

The study also compared the results of the schools in Greenwich with those of pupils of the same age in seven other London areas who did not eat the meals created by Oliver. The researchers were surprised by the speed of improvements in the Greenwich pupils. They could find no other explanation for the results except for the healthier and more nutritious meals created by Oliver.

Commenting on ISER"s findings， Oliver said he felt the research proved that he was right in his decision to remove fatty processed food and replace it with nutrient-rich （营养的 ） foods such as coconut （椰子）， fish， and broccoli （花椰菜）. He commented that "we could see that it made them calmer and therefore able to learn".

The Feed Me Better campaign targeted a healthier diet at school children. 查看材料

根据下面材料，回答题。

Exercise Lowers Employers&39; Health Costs

Companies can save millions in health-care costs simply by encouraging their employees to exercise a little bit, researchers reported on Friday.

They said obese (肥胖的) employees had higher health-care costs, but lowered those expenses by exercising just a couple of times a week, without even losing any weight.

Feifei Wang and colleagues at the University of Michigan studied 23,500 workers at General Motors.

They estimated that getting the most sedentary (惯于久坐的) obese workers to exercise would have saved about $790,000 a year, or about 1.5 percent of health-care costs for the whole group,Company-wide. The potential savings could reach $7.1 million per year, they reported in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

Of the whole group of workers, about 30 percent were of normal weight,45 percent were overweight (超重的), and 25 percent were obese. Annual health-care costs averaged $2,200 for normal weight, $2,400 for the overweight, and $2,700 for obese employees.

But among workers who did no exercise, health-care costs went up by at least $100 a year, and were $3,000 a year for obese employees who were sedentary.

But adding two or more days of light exercise, at least 20 minutes of exercise or workhard enough to increase heart rate and breathing, lowered costs by on average $500 per employee a year, the researchers found.

"This indicates that physical activity behavior. could reduce at least some of the harmful effects of excess body fat, and in consequence, help lower the health-care costs," Wang and colleagues wrote.

How can employees help lower the health-care costs？ 查看材料

A.By taking more rest

B.By eating less

C.By exercising a little bit

回答题。

The Process of Gaining or Losing Weight

The process of gaining or losing weight can be explained by comparing your body to your car. Both run 51 fuel, food for your body and gasoline for your car. Both 52 that fuel, first into heat, then energy, some of 53 is used to do work, and some emitted as waste. And 54 .your car uses more energy when the engine is racing than when it is idling, 55 does your body use more energy when you are working hard than 56 you are resting.

For the purpose of this comparison, 57 , there is one significant difference between them. Your car cannot store fuel by turning it into 58 else ; all gasoline not 59 remains as gasoline. But your body stores 60 energy as fat. When the gas tank is 61 empty, the car won&39;t run ; but your body can burn fat to provide more energy.

Therefore, if you want to gain weight, you must do 62 of two things : eat more calories (units of heat, therefore energy ) , or use less through 63 . If you want to lose weight, you do the 64 , decrease your intake of calories or increase the amount of energy you spend. There is 65 way. Gaining or losing weight is always a relation between intake and output of potential energy.
