Scientists claim that sleeping habits, central heating, medicines and even some pollutants can play a role in weight gain. Lack of sleep could be partly to blame. In recent years, the average night's sleep has dropped from nine hours to just seven. Sleep lack changes levels of the hormones that regulate food intake and body fat and increase hunger and appetite.
If it is too hot or too cold, we burn calories to cool down or heat up. But if the temperature is just right, the calories may be turned into body fat instead.
Those who take medicines to control their blood pressure can often put on more weight. Similarly, studies have shown that going on the Pill can add to a woman's weight. Mother Nature may also be to blame, with our body shape being partly determined by our parents. The overweight are also more likely to be associated with partners of a similar size, and their children are more likely to be overweight.
The scientists from Yale, Cornell and Johns Hopkins published their analysis of these findings last week. Their reasoning goes like this:
1. Sleep--Too little increases appetite.
2. Medicine--Many modern medicines lead to us putting on weight.
3. Mother's age--Older women are more likely to have obese children.
4. Giving up smoking--Nicotine suppresses the appetite.
5. Getting older--Weight tends to increase with age.
What does the author think of the advice "eat less and exercise more"?
A.It may not be a solution for all who face this problem since the reasons for people's getting fat varies.
B.There are various other ways to achieve the goal of weight-loss and this is not the best one.
C.Exercise is something you will never get your returns and your efforts will be in vain.
D.It has been talked about for too long a time that a newer alternative is needed.
听力原文: The problem of the homeless has become very serious in the United States. Almost in every community, you can find homeless people. An ironical case is: in November, 1993, a woman died on a street in Washington, D. C. , file nation's capital, and she died at a bus-stop across the street from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
People become homeless for various reasons. Some may not be able to pay for the housing they used to have, because they have lost their job and cannot find another place they can afford. Others have mental disorders, or are addicted to drugs or alcohol, and there are not enough centres to care for them.
As ways to help these people, the federal government and many communities have set up all kinds of projects. Some programs include permanent housing, training for jobs and treatment for people who are addicted to drags or alcohol. Some communities have opened centres that offer services for as many as 700 people. The homeless can stay as long as they want.
People are making efforts to solve the problem. However, it will not be easy, because it is a personal and economic problem as well as a social problem.
