The Weight Experiment
Nicola Walters has been taking part in experiments in Scotland to-discover why humans gain and lose weight.Being locked in a small room called a “calorimeter”(热量测量室)is one way to find out.
1.The signs above the two rooms read simply "Chamber One" and "Chamber Two".
These are the calorimeters: 4m by 2m white-walled rooms where human volunteers are
locked up in the name of science.Outside these rooms another sign reads, "Please do not enter-work in progress" and in front of the rooms advanced machinery registers(记录)every move the volunteers make.Each day, meals measured to the last gram are passed through a hole in the wall of the calorimeter to the resident volunteer.
2.Nicola Walters is one of the twenty volunteers who, over the past eight months, have spent varying periods inside the calorimeter.Tall and slim, Nicola does not have a weight problem, but thought the strict diet might help with her training and fitness program.A self-employed community dance worker, she was able to fit the experiment in around her work.She saw an advert(广告) for volunteers at her gym and as she is interested in the whole area of diet and exercise, she thought she would help out.
3.Theexperiment on Nicola involved her spending one day on a fixed diet at home and the next in the room.This sequence(次序)was repeated four times over six weeks.She arrived at the calorimeter at 8:30 a.m.on each of the four mornings and from then on everything she ate or drank was carefully measured.Her every move was noted too, her daily exercise routine timed to the last second.At regular intervals, after eating, she filled in forms about how hungry she felt and samples were taken for analysis.
4.The scientists help volunteers impose(确立)a kind of order on the long days they face in the room."The first time, I only took one video and a book, but it was OK because I watched TV the rest of the time," says Nicola.And twice a day she used the exercise bike.She pedaled(踩踏板)for half an hour, watched by researchers to make sure she didn’t go too fast.
5.It seems that some foods encourage you to eat more, while others satisfy you quickly.Volunteers are already showing that high-fat diets are less likely to make you feel full.Believing that they may now know what encourages, people to overeat, the researchers are about to start testing a high-protein weight-loss diet.Volunteers are required and Nicola has signed up for further sessions.

Dear Mr. John Simons,
I was pleased to see your advertisement for the position of Chief Accountant in the October 31 edition of World Star Newspaper.
I have been interested in your corporation for some time and have particularly noticed the recent achievements she has made with her product development program. The article by the CEO, Mr. Jefferson, in the Economic Review of February last year, gave some particular insights into development in this field.
I would like to apply for the position advertised. As well as holding the qualifications requested I also have relevant background that would make me a useful member of your corporation. Four years of college have trained me in accounting and full charge bookkeeping through trial balance. My 30 credits in accounting and courses in electronic data processing have equipped me to work with computer-based companies like yours. Training in business writing, human relations, and psychology should help me achieve solid rapport with them. And advanced studies in investment accounting will enable me to analyze the investing prospects from a planning perspective.
Because your company specializes in investment, my work experience could also be beneficial. After two years as a part-time financial analyst at George Commercial Group, I gained some practical knowledge in investment forecasting and decisionmaking. My accomplishments at that company were acknowledged by a substantial salary increase.
Mr. White, vice- manager of the City Bank, and other references on the enclosed resume will confirm you my potential for the accountant position.
At a time convenient for you, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my qualifications for beginning a career with Walters Corporation. You may contact me at the cell phone number in the resume or the address on the letterhead.
Thank you for your consideration!
Sincerely yours,
Allen Porter
