There are new findings that not enough sleep may cause people to gain weight.Researchers say a lack of sleep can produce hormonal changes that increase feelings of hunger.
In one study,researchers in the United States examined information on more than 1000 people.The people had taken part in a long-term study of sleep disorders.
Some people slept less than five hours a night.They had 15 percent higher blood levels of a hormone called ghrelin than people who slept eight hours.And they had 15 percent less of the hormone leptin.Experts say ghrelin helps make people feel hungry;leptin makes you feel full.
The scientists say these hormonal changes may be a cause of obesity in Western societies.They note the combination that limitation is common and is widely available.
The results were not affected by how much people exercised.People who are awake longer have more time to burn energy.But the researchers say loss of sleep may increase hunger especially for high-calorie foods,so people gain weight.It seems that,for survival,the body may be designed to store more fat during times with less sleep.
Researchers from Stanford University in California and the University of Wisconsin did the study.They found that the best amount of sleep for weight control is 7.7 hours a night.
The Public Library of Science published the findings in its journal Medicine.Internet users can read the full study,free of charge,at plos.org.
Which of the following shows the right way in which lack of sleep causes weight gain?
A.more ghrelin and less leptin→feeling hungry→eating more
B.feeling hungry→eating more→more ghrelin and less leptin
C.burning more energy→feeling hungry→eating more
D.more leptin and less ghrelin→feeling full→less exercise

Annalisee Brasil, a 14-year-old girl, is one of the brightest kids of her generation. When Annalisee was 3, her mother Angi noticed that she was stringing together word cards into correct sentences. After the girl turned 6, her mother took her for an IQ text. Her IQ is above 145, placing the girl in the top 0.1% of the population. Annalisee should be the star pupil at school. She is witty and pretty, and it’s easy to imagine she would get along well at school. But Annalisee’s parents couldn’t find a school willing to take their daughter. So her mother homeschooled Annalisee.
But Angi felt something was missing in her daughter’s life. Annalisee didn’t have a rich social network of other kids. She had trouble getting along with others. She described herself as a “perfectionist” and said other students sometimes were jealous of her.
What’s needed is a new model for gifted education. That’s the idea behind the Davidson Academy of Nevada. At the academy, all the kids are skipping ahead quickly. However, the academy’s most important gift to its students is social, not academic. One of the main functions of the school is to provide a good social setting for the highly gifted.
Last year the school enrolled Annalisee, which has been good for her. She has made friends at the academy. She has also developed an interest in calculus(微積分) and biochemistry(生物化學(xué)). Socially, Annalisee is finally learning to get along with others. “It’s been interesting having to deal with that and getting used to the judgments of other kinds,” she said. “We get into arguments a lot, because we’re all really smart people with opinions, and it doesn’t always turn out that great. Sometimes I take things a little too personally.”
What is the passage mainly about?
Annalisee Brasil——the star pupil at school.
A smart girl who entered a proper school and benefited from gifted education.
A smart girl who had trouble getting along with others.
A girl who was too smart to find a suitable school.
36.The word “perfectionist” in paragraph two probably means a person who _________.
A.is smarter than others
B.is always favored by teachers
C.can do everything well and has strong demands
D.is accepted by others as a good leader
37.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A.At the age of 3, Annalisee took an IQ test, in which she scored above 145.
B.Finding no school willing to take Annalisee, her father had to homschool her.
C.The Davidson Academy of Nevada emphasizes social gift more than academic gift.
D.After being enrolled by the academy, Annalisee enjoyed her school life without ant argument with her classmates.
38.What can you infer from the passage?
A.Annalisee has realized her problem and is gradually changing her attitude towards others.
B.One of the main functions of the gifted education is to provide a good social setting for the highly gifted.
C.Without the academy, Annalisee couldn’t have learnt so much.
D. Like Annalisee, many other smart kids also have the similar trouble.
