Have you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How annoying! However, scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.
Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the excess energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off” the extra food without making fat, so they rarely have weight problems.
To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic (基因的) factors. They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency. These genes, according to the scientists, get passed down the generations. Armed with this knowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines thatcan target the genes and stop people from gaining weight.
The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the numbers of people who are overweight continues to grow. In theUnited States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems. This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and thoroughly test new drugs. Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise. This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight, but also help them stay healthy and energetic.
4. According to the scientists, some people ________.
A. are able to stay thin because of genetic factors
B. can eat what they want and stay healthy forever
C. usually keep doing exercise to lose their weight
D. don’t eat anything every day but still put on weight
5. Some people don’t need to worry about weight problems because ________.
A. they eat many vegetables
B. they eat less than others
C. they don’t store any energy from food as fat
D. they can burn off the extra food without making fat
6. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Fewer people will have weight problems in the future.
B. People with weight problems may suffer from heart trouble.
C. We now have good medicine for people with weight problems.
D. The result of the experiments on mice and humans are different.
7. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Current medicine solve weight problems well.
B. We should exercise regularly and eat properly.
C. Taking exercise every day may cause heart problems.
D. Testing new drugs is hard because of the side effects.
C

Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies (辣椒) toour food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-oldUSman recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper—the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following few days, reported BBC News.
In fact, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But if chilies are harmful, why is it that human beings are the only animals to eat this vegetable? According to the website Huanqiu, about 600 million Chinese people—almost half of the national population—are chili eaters. So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body reacts to the burning feeling that comes from eating chilies by releasing natural chemicals that “produce a sense of happiness” , noted BBC News.
And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent
lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The number decreased to 14 percent for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. And another study done by theUniversityofVermontcame to a similar conclusion. “The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and reduce death risk at an early age,” Liu Qi, a nutritionist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, told BBC News.
Chilies have anti-cancer quality and the ability to increase our metabolism (新陈代谢). So, don't worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us—except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps.
12. The example of a 34-year-old American is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to prove ________.
A. chiliescan be beneficial
B. chilies are popular inAmerica
C. chilies can be dangerous
D. serious headaches can be dangerous
13. Eating chilies gives people a sense of happiness by_______.
A. decreasing death rate
B. releasing natural chemicals
C. curing serious headaches
D. providing enough nutrition
14. Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. Human are the only animals to eat chilies.
B. Stomachache and headaches caused by chilies is something unusual.
C. The more chilies you eat, the healthier you are.
D. Chilies have anti-cancer quality but it can't increase our metabolism.
15. The writer wrote the passage to ________.
A. warn people of the dangers of chilies
B. ask people to eat Carolina Reaper
C. encourage people to eat more chilies
D. tell people the benefits of chilies
