Four Seasons Tented Camp, Golden Triangle (Thailand)

There are only 15 of cabins to rent so you’ll have to book early. The campsite can only be reached by river boat, but once there you can learn to ride an elephant.

We all know that eating junk food can make us fat. However, a new study suggests that it can do more than that – it can also make us lazy, reported CBS News.
In the study, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, US divided 32 female rats into two groups. The first group was fed a diet of healthy food such as corn and fish, while the second was given a diet of highly processed (加工的) food rich in sugar, namely “junk food”.
Within three months, the rats in the second group were already much fatter than those on the healthy diet. And when researchers trained the rats to do simple tasks, they found even more differences between the two groups rather than weight.
During the task – pushing a lever (杠杆) to receive a reward of sugar water – the rats on the junk food diet were found to be less willing to move, and they took longer breaks between each push than the lean rats did.
“It is as if the rat is thinking ‘This is too much work’,” Aaron Blaisdell, leader of the study, told the Los Angeles Times.
But what about the possibility that the fat rats were less passionate about getting sugar water because they were already eating lots of sugar in their daily diet? That’s why researchers repeated the tests by rewarding fat rats with plain water when they were extremely thirsty. However, the results came out just the same.
According to researchers, these differences suggest that junk food changed the chemistry in the rats’ brains.
The experiment didn’t end there. After six months, the rats’ diets were switched, and the overweight rats were given a healthy diet for nine days. However, this change didn’t help reduce their weight or improve their ability to perform tasks, which means the effects of their junk food diet persisted (持续存在). “There’s no quick fix,” said Blaisdell.
For a long time, we’ve believed that people become fat because they are lazy. But this study has proven the opposite to be true as well, which indicates that laziness and obesity are a “vicious cycle (恶性循环)”.
So, if you constantly feel tired, lacking any urge to get up from your chair, it could be that you’ve been studying too hard. But you should also pay attention to your diet.
1.During the first three months of the experiment by researchers at the University of California, ______.
A. rats from the healthy diet group ate nothing but corn and fish
B. rats on the junk food diet ate more than those on healthy diet
C. rats on the healthy food diet performed better at simple tasks than those on the junk food diet
D. rats on the junk food diet seemed uninterested in sugary food
2.The researchers rewarded thirsty rats with plain water in the lever test to ______.
A. help them control their weight
B. test whether fat rats lost interest in the test because they had taken enough sugar
C. change the diet habits of fat rats
D. find out the influence of sugar on rats’ brains
3. The underlined word “there” refers to ______.
A. after the rats on the junk food diet had worked hard to get sugar water
B. after the type of food rats prefer had been identified
C. after a quick cure for obesity had been found
D. after the fact that fatter rats are lazier than lean rats had been found
4.We can conclude from the article that ______.
A. fat people are usually lazier than lean people
B. people should switch between different types of diets to keep healthy
C. being overweight and being lazy can feed into each other
D. laziness is the main cause of weight problems
5.Which of the following is Not Right according to the passage?
A. Eating junk food can make us fat.
B. Researchers got different results after repeated the tests to fat rats.
C. For a long time, we’ve believed that people become fat because they are lazy.
D. If you constantly feel tired or study too hard, you need to pay attention to your diet.

Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “It’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t ” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!
However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.
1.Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?
A. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school.”
B. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”
C. “The post office is about five minutes from here.”
D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”
2.Why don’t people in Los Angeles give directions in miles?
A. They use landmarks in their directions instead of distance.
B. They prefer to lead you the way.
C. They often have no idea of distance measured by miles.
D. They prefer to use body language.
3.How do Greeks give directions?
A. Using street names.
B. Using landmarks.
C. Leading people the way.
D. Giving people a wrong direction.
4.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world.
B. People in Yucatan always give right directions.
C. People in some places give directions in miles, while in other places in time.
D. A person’s body language can help you understand directions.
