We all knw that eating junk fd can make us fat. Hwever, a new study suggests that it can d mre than that－it can als make us lazy.
In the study, researchers divided 32 rats int tw grups. In the first experiment, the first grup was fed a diet
f healthy fd such as crn and fish, while the secnd was given a diet rich in sugar and fat, namely “junk fd”.
Within three mnths, the rats in the secnd grup were already much fatter than thse n the healthy diet. And when researchers trained the rats t d simple tasks, they fund even mre differences between the tw grups ther than weight.
During the task—pushing a lever t receive a prize f sugar water—the rats n the junk fd diet were fund t be less willing t mve, and they tk lnger breaks between each push than the fit rats did.
“It is as if the rat is thinking ‘This is t much wrk’,” said the leader f the study.
Accrding t researchers, these differences suggest that junk fd changed the chemistry in the rats’ brains.
The experiments didn’t end there. After six mnths, researchers began the secnd experiment. The rats’ diets were changed, and the verweight rats were given a healthy diet fr nine days. Hwever, this didn’t help reduce their weight r imprve their ability t perfrm tasks. It means the effects f their junk fd diet lasted fr lng. “There’s n quick way t reduce the harm,” researchers said.
Fr a lng time, we’ve believed that peple becme fat because they are lazy. But this study has shwn that the ppsite is true as well. Being lazy and getting fat can g hand in hand.
S, if yu always feel tired, and nt willing t get up frm yur chair, it culd be that yu’ve been studying t hard. But yu shuld als pay attentin t yur diet.
What can be included in the diet fr the secnd grup?
A.B.C.D.
What did the first experiment shw?
Fit rats prefer healthy fd.B. Fat rats dn’t like sugar water.
C. Junk fd has harmful chemistry.D. Junk fd can make rats fat and lazy.
What can we learn frm the secnd experiment?
Fat rats shuld perfrm mre tasks.
Our diets have lng-term effects n us.
There is n quick way t change a diet.
It is n gd t change an unhealthy diet.
Ben is heavy and lies in the sfa all day. What advice wuld the writer give him?
He shuld get up and d sme exercise.
He shuld fcus mre n his study.
He shuld stay away frm junk fd.

The film yu see n the screen is the prduct f a huge amunt f hard wrk.41
T begin with, visual special effects make scenes real. CGI (cmputer-generated imagery 电子成像技术) has been widely used in film-making. Mstly, scenes with CGI are filmed in frnt f a green screen in the studi. Green desn’t match any natural hair r skin. 42 This enables CGI effects t be added later.
43 Yu may never expect the way that these sunds are added. Fr example, in Jurassic Park, the sunds f different animals were mixed by a cmputer. The sund f the drs pening in the Star Trek films was made by pulling a piece f paper ut frm an envelpe.
A careful study f the backgrund infrmatin als makes a film’s success. T make his film Titanic lk real,
the directr spent six mnths checking plans and then built a full-sized mdel ship.44He even went dwn
t the bttm f the Atlantic Ocean t see what was left f the ship.
The abve may nt include all the wrk behind the scenes. What we see n the cinema screen is just small parts f film-making.45They have wrked fr mnths and even years s that yu can have tw hurs f
enjyment!
Next time when watching a film, will yu think abut the talented peple behind the scenes?
D yu knw mst f the wrk takes place behind the scenes?
He talked t histrians t make sure that the details were crrect.
Actrs can be easily separated frm the backgrund by a cmputer.
