24、Do you sometimes find you want to eat chocolate or ice cream very much? Do you then make it but feel guilty about it later?
The next time this happens to you, think back if you have had enough sleep over the last 3-5 days. Many adults and even teens have noticed that they crave “midnight snacks” when working or watching TV late.
New research shows that lack of sleep could lead us to have an increased appetite (食欲)—especially for the unhealthy kind.
Recently, researchers at the University of Chicago carried out a study that clearly shows that a lack of sleep actually changes our brain chemistry! Studies were done on two control groups over four days. Both groups had their food and sleep strictly controlled. All of them received three meals. The only difference was that one group was allowed to sleep for 7.5 hours while the other group slept for a little more than four hours.
During the following visit, their sleep patterns were exchanged. After the last night of the session, the volunteers were offered as much food as they wanted to eat. Researchers noticed that in both sessions, people who sleep less ate on an average 300 calories more than those who had slept more. This was much more calories than what their bodies would need to make up for the three fewer hours of sleep.
What Is Going On?
The researchers then analyzed the chemicals (化学成分) in the blood of the people in the study. What they noticed was surprising. High levels of ghrelin (a chemical that makes us hungry) and lower levels of leptin (the chemical that tells the brain that it is satisfied) were found in the people with less sleep.
Even more surprising was that this group had higher levels of endocannabinoids - the same chemical that is caused by drugs such as cannabis (大麻). The endocannabinoid system causes a craving for sugar and fatty foods and leads to overeating even when the body is not hungry. This study suggests that sleep changes help produce chemicals in the body that are similar to taking drugs!
Furthermore, researchers noticed that food cravings continued for a long period of time, well after the lack of sleep. This increases the risk of over-eating for longer periods, leading to obesity (肥胖).
Your body needs 7-8 hours of sleep each night. So, the next time you reach for a bag of chips or a slice of decadent cake, think of the amount of sleep you have had recently!

26、 Many people keep small fish as pets. They keep them in a tank (水槽) of water. The tank is made of clear glass. People can look through it. They can see inside the tank and watch the fish.
The fish need room. They must not be crowded. Fish need oxygen to breathe. Fish get it from water in the tank. There must be enough water for all fish. So the size of the tank is important. In the tank many people put small plants that are good for fish. They give oxygen to the water. Plants help in other ways, too. Fish can nibble (轻咬) on the plants. They hide among the plants and sleep, lay eggs there. The plants need light. Most fish need light, too. The tank may be put near a window. It will get light there. Another place might be better, though. A window may let cold air in. The water in the tank may get too cold. The fish may die because cold water can kill them. So can hot water. The temperature must be just right. The fish must be kept in water all the time. Some fish can jump high. They may jump out of the tank. The tank should be covered. This keeps the fish from jumping out.
The fish need food and they should be fed every day. Giving them too much food is bad. The extra (额外的) food will fall to the bottom and make the water dirty. However, the fish should get just enough food. They should finish the food in 10 minutes. Nothing should be left. When this pens. the amount (数量) of food is right.

27、 I loved everything about school except for one person: Mildred.
Every day, as we walked home after school, she would step on the backs of my shoes. Then, when I stopped to adjust my shoes, Mildred would touch my back. She scared me.
Soon, my mother found something was wrong. I told her the whole story. My mom told me not to worry and said she had a plan.
The next morning, my mom walked up the hill with me. Just as we got to the top of the hill, we saw Mildred.
“Hello, Mildred,” my mom said quietly. Mildred stopped, standing as still as a statue (雕像). Her hands and face were bright red. Her oversized coat hung open. There were only two buttons (纽扣) on it.
My mother didn’t say anything at first. Instead, she buttoned up Mildred’s coat and turned the collar up around her neck.
“I’m Marion’s mother. I need your help, Mildred.” My mother’s hands held Mildred’s as she spoke. “Marion doesn’t have any brothers or sisters. She needs a best friend at school, someone to walk up the hill with her after classes are over. Would you be Marion’s friend, Mildred?”
Mildred chewed (咀嚼) on her bottom lip and nodded. “Oh, thank you!” my mother said. “I just know you are someone I can depend on.” Then she hugged us and left as though nothing unusual had happened.
Mildred and I walked on to school. As I looked over at her, I saw that Mildred was smiling! I’d never seen her smile before.
We walked up the hill each day after school together and pretty soon we became best friends.
I didn’t understand my mom’s plan at the time. But eventually, I came to understand her message: Love never fails.
