21、 It's 3 a.m. and you're wide awake for the second night in a row. You get up and come to the kitchen for some warm milk that mom says will put you to sleep. So why are you eating a bowl of ice cream with a side of cookies?
You may have heard about two hormones (荷尔蒙) that control our urge to eat: leptin and ghrelin. "The 'l' in leptin stands for lose: It controls appetite and therefore contributes to weight loss," said sleep specialist Dr. Raj Dasgupta, the associate program director of the Sleep Medicine Fellowship at Keck Medicine of USC. "The 'g' in ghrelin stands for gain: This fast-acting hormone increases hunger and leads to weight gain." When you don't have enough sleep, research shows, ghrelin levels increase while leptin lakes a nose dive. The result is an increase in hunger.
But food is food, so that doesn't explain why we want candy instead of carrots. To answer that, you have to look at another system of the body: The endocannabinoid (内源性大麻素) system. It manages everything from sleep to appetite to pain and more.
In a study published in 2016, Hanlon compared the circulating levels of 2-AG, one of the most abundant endocannabinoids,in people who got four nights of normal sleep (more than eight hours) with those in people who only got 4.5 hours. People who were sleep-deprived (缺乏睡眠) reported greater increases in hunger and appetite and had higher afternoon concentrations of 2-AG than those who slept well. They also had a rough time controlling their urges for high-calorie snacks.
All of this research is so new that science doesn’t yet know how it all fits together or what can be done about it. And that brings us to the bottom line: There's not going to be a pill any time soon for the sleep-deprived junk-food people. Instead, you'll have to do what the doctor says to reduce your improper cravings (渴望) in the middle of the night: get more sleep.
【1】How does the author develop paragraph 2?
A.By giving examples. B.By making comparisons.
C.By following time order. D.By making explanations.
【2】What did the study published in 2016 find?
A.Most 2-AG is produced during sleep.
B.Normal sleep makes levels of 2-AG go up.
C.High levels of 2-AG can result in strong appetite.
D.Lack of sleep decreases appetite for high-calorie food.
【3】What may be a solution to the problem of eating junk-food at midnight?
A.Buying a pill from the hospital. B.Visiting the doctor at midnight.
C.Getting normal amount of sleep. D.Checking the levels of 2-AG often.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Lack of sleep makes you crave junk food.
B.2-AG controls your hunger and appetite.
C.Enough sleep is important in losing weight.
D.Leptin and ghrelin together make you sleepy.
