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．

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 &39;calorimeter&39; (执着量测量室) is one way to find out.

1. The signs above the two rooms read simply &39;Chamber One&39; and &39;Chamber Two&39;. 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 &39;Please do not enter-work in progress&39; and in front of the rooms advanced machinery registers 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 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 programme. A self-employed community dance worker, she was able to fit the experiment in around her work. She saw an advert for volunteers at her local gym and as she is interested in the whole area of diet and exercise, she thought she would help out.

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.

第8题

Healthy soda？ That may strike some as an oxymoron. But for Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, it's a m

arketing opportunity.

In coming months, both companies will introduce new carbonated drinks that are fortified with vitamins and minerals: Diet Coke Plus and Tava, which is PepsiCo's new offering. They will be promoted as "sparkling beverages". The companies are not tailing them soft drinks because people are turning away from traditional soda, which has been hurt in part by publicity about its link to obesity.

While the soda business remains a $68 billion industry in the United States, consumers are increasingly reaching for bottled water, sparkling juices and green tea drinks. In 2005, the mount of soda sold in this country dropped for the first time in recent history. Even the diet soda business has slowed.

Coca-Cola's chief executive, E. Neville Isdell, clearly frustrated that his industry has been singled out in the obesity debate, insisted at a recent conference that his diet products should be included in the health and wellness category because, with few or no calories, they are a logical answer m expanding waistlines.

"Diet and light brands are actually health and wellness brands", Mr. Isdell said. He asserted that Diet Coke Plus was a way to broaden the category to attract new consumers.

Tom Pirko, president of Bevmark, a food and beverage consulting firm, said it was "a joke" to market artificially sweetened soft drinks as healthy, even if they were fortified with vitamins and minerals. Research by his firm and others shows that consumers think of diet soft drinks as "the antithesis of healthy", he said. These consumers "comment on putting something synthetic and not natural into their bodies when they consume diet colas", Mr. Pirko said. "And in the midst of a health and welfare boom, that ain't good".

The idea of healthy soda is not entirely new. In 2004, Cadbury Schweppes caused a stir when it unveiled 7Up Plus, a low-calorie soda fortified with vitamins and minerals. Last year, Cadbury tried to extend the healthy halo over its regular 7Up brand by labeling it "100 percent natural". But the company changed the label to "100 percent natural flavor" after complaints from a nutrition group that a product containing high-fructose com syrup should not be considered natural, and 7Up Plus has floundered. The new fortified soft drinks earned grudging approval from Michael F. Jacobsen, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. a nutrition advocacy group and frequent critic of regular soft drinks, which it has labeled "liquid candy".

A survey by Morgan Stanley found that only 10 percent of consumers interviewed in 2006 considered diet colas a healthy choice, compared with 14 percent in 2003. Furthermore, 30 percent of the consumers who were interviewed last year said that they were reluctant to drink beverages with artificial sweeteners, up from 21 percent in 2004.

Coca-Cola and PepsiCo call their new drinks "sparkling beverages" instead of "soft drinks" because______.

A．the new name sounds more brilliant and attracts more people

B．the old name reminds people that they may cause people adding weight

C．the new drinks are fortified with vitamins and minerals

D．people are turning away from traditional soda

根据下列材料，请回答下列各题 The average American drinks a gallon of soda a week，which d

elivers roughly 1，000 calories and no nutrition．The average American is also overweight or obese．Could changing one of those things help change the other？ A growing number of officials think so，which accounts for a spate of proposed new taxes on soda as a way to discourage consumption while at the same time raising money to fund other obesity—fighting initiatives．Some 20 states and cities，from New Mexico to Baltimore，contemplated soda taxes this spring． The reaction against them has been swift and fierce．In March，scores of soda—company employees sporting Pepsi．Coke and 7.Up gear swarmed the Kansas state senate to fight a proposal that would have added a penny in tax for each teaspoon of sugar in a nonjuice drink．That would have increased the price of a 12-OZ．soda by about 10 and generated some $90 million in revenue a year．“I thought this is a wise choice，”says state senator John Vratil，who，like counterparts across the country，has been struggling to address both arecession—induced budget gap and rising public—heath costs stemming from obesity．Instead，he got an earful about how a soda tax would kill jobs，burden the poor and constitute an unwelcome government intrusion into the American diet． Government involvement in what Americans eat is nothing new．But why tax soda andnot，say，ice cream，pizza or Oreos——0r，for that matter，the video games that discourage kids from going outside to run around？Washington city—council member Mary Cheh says it’s because soda is where scientists have observed the clearest link to excess pounds．When Cheh set out to fund her Healthy Schools Act，which would raise food and physical—education standards at schools in D．C．-where about 40％of kids are overweight or obese—she didn’t know she’d wind up going after soda．But the data overwhelmed her：The amount ofsoda the typical American drinks has grown by roughly 500％over the past 60 years，and of the 250 tO 300 calories a day Americans have，on average，added to their diets since the late 1970s．nearly half have come from sugared drinks．“I don’t want to prescribe taxes for all sorts of dietary choices，”says Cheh.“but if we were going to only target one thing to make a material difference，soda would be it．” The tougher question is whether increasing the price of soda would，ia fact，reduce the number of calories people consume．Some research indicates the answer is yes．Other research leaves room for doubt．Though studies do show that a 10％increase in the price of soda leads people to purchase about 10％less of it．that doesn’t necessarily mean folks aren’t making up for those calories elsewhere． How do people feel about soda taxes？In April．the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute asked residents of New York State if they supported or opposed a“fat tax”on nondiet sugared soda．Thirty—one percent were in favor，and 66％were opposed．Yet when asked if they would support such a tax if the money raised were used to fund health care，people changed their opinions dramatically．with 48％in favor and just 49％opposed． The officials proposed new taxes on soda for all these purposes Except_______．

A.reducing citizens’calcIrie intake

B.increasing government revenue

C.bridging the gap between the rich and the poor

D.raising money for public—health programs
