All you ever do is eat. You feel sad: “I skip my breakfast and supper. I run every morning and evening. What else can I do?

38、” Basically you can do nothing. Your genes，not your life habits determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it. Albert Stunkard of the University of Pennsylvania found from experiments that，“80 percent of the children of two obese (肥胖的) parents become obese，as compared with no m

39、ore than 14 percent of the offspring of two parents of normal weight.” How can obese people become normal or even thin through dieting? Well, dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous. Jules Hirsch, a research physician at Rockefeller University, did a study of eight fat people.

40、They were given a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day. After more than 1 0 weeks，the subjects lost 45ka on average. But after leaving the hospital，they all regained weight. The results were surprising: by metabolic (新陳代謝的) measurement，fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like t

41、hey were starving. They had psychiatric problems. They dreamed of food or breaking their diet. They were anxious and depressed；some were suicidal. They hid food in their rooms. Researchers warn that it is possible that weight reduction doesnt result In normal weight, but in an abnormal state resembl

42、ing that of starved nonobese people. Thin people，however, suffer from the opposite: They have to make a great effort to gain weight. Ethan Sims, of the University of Vermont，got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight. In four to six months，they ate as much as they could. They succeeded in increasing

43、their weight by 20 to 25 percent. But months after the study ended. they were back to normal weight and stayed there. This does not mean that people are completely without hope in controlling their weight. It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly baffle their genetic inheritanc

44、e if they want to significantly lower their weight. The findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was trueeach person has a comfortable weight range. The range might be as much as 9kg. Someone might weigh 60-69kg without too much effort. But going above or below the natural wei

B Your eating habit. C Your life style. D Your genes.37. What did Jules Hirsch do to the eight fat peop

47、y were back to normal weight. D They attempted suicide.39. Ethan Sims made his subjects A battle their genetic inheritance. B increase their weight. C suffer from hunger. D lower their weight.40.

His crime?

49、 He was charged with underage drinking，illegal possession of alcohol and excessive noise while holding a party. This shaming punishment has increased in the US in recent years，mostly imposed by local judges for lessserious crimes，such as drunk driving and theft. They believe shame is the best petty

50、crime deterrent(威懾). For example，in Tennessee，Judge James McKenzie has made shoplifters(商店貨物扒手)stand outside Wal-Mart with signs that read, “I am a thief put here by order of Judge McKenzie”. “Alternative punishments like community service and fines dont convey moral condemnation(譴責(zé))of the criminal，

51、”said Dan Kahan, a University of Chicago Law School professor, in an article published on the universitys website. “They arent shameful enough. Shaming punishments are sometimes called Scarlet(紅色的)Letter punishments. The name comes from US author Nathaniel Hawthornes 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter. I

52、n this novel，a woman is forced to wear a scarlet “A” on her clothes as punishment for her adultery (通奸).However, University of Iowa law professor Andrew Hosmanek said there is an important difference between the shaming punishments of colonial America and those assigned in states like Tennessee. “Ea

53、rly societies often had are acceptance ceremony to welcome the offender back into main society,” says Hosmanek. “Contemporary punishments in America lack this.” Supporters of shaming punishment argue that public shaming is a good way of expressing community values. Some judges say shamed offenders s

54、eldom repeat their crimes. Others arent SO sure. “There is little evidence to suggest that shaming punishments are successful in preventing people from committing specific crimes. And a shamed criminal may face a hard battle to regain credibility in society,” said Hosmanek. “So，a shaming punishment

55、may force the offender into more crimes to support himself.” Experts also debate shaming punishments damage to human dignity. “Since the point is to shame，its of course degrading(侮辱人格的)，”said Linda Malone，director of the Human Rights and National Security Law Programme at William and Mary Law School. “US law only prohibits punishment that is cruel and unusual not inhuman and degrading. its ver
