While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being conducted concerning the appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give insights into how to deal with weight problems. For example, when several hundred people were asked about their eating habit in times of stress, 44 percent said they reacted to stressful situations by chewing. A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese people have a keener sense of taste and crave more flavorful food than non obese people. When deprived of the variety and intensity of tastes, obese people are not satisfied and consequently eat more to fulfill this need. Blood samples taken from people after they were shown a picture of food revealed that overweight people reacted with an increase in blood insulin, a chemical associated with appetite. This did not happen to average-weight people. In another experiment, results showed that certain people have a specific biologically included hunger for carbohydrates. Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Enough serotonin produces a sense of satiation, and hunger for carbohydrates subsides. Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weight-loss program. However, it has been found that mild exercise, such as using the stairs in stead of elevator is better in the long run than taking on a strenuous program, such as jogging, which many people find it difficult to continue over long periods of time and which also increase appetite. 46. The word crave in line 8 can bet replaced with. A. devour B. absorb C. season D. desire 47. It can be inferred from the passage that. A. thin people don’t enjoy food B. a variety of foods and strong flavors satisfies heavy people C. overweight people have an abnormal sense of taste. D. deprivation of food makes people fat.

48. According to the passage, insulin A. increase in the blood stream when people eat large amount of food. B. can be used to lessen the appetite. C. causes a chemical reaction when food is seen. D. levels don’t change in average-weight people who see food. 49. It can be inferred from the passage that A. overweight people are tense B. thin people don’t eat when under stress C. weight watchers should chew on something inedible when tense D. 56 percent of the population isn’t overweight. 50. it can be inferred that for certain people A. eating carbohydrates eliminates hunger B. carbohydrates biologically induce hunger. C. carbohydrates don’t satisfy a hungry person D. carbohydrates subside when serotonin is produced 51. What can be said about serotonin? A. It is a chemical that increases the appetite. B.

They drop radiosondes, or instruments for recording temperature, air pressure, and humidity, into the storm. They also look at the size of waves on the ocean , the clouds, and the eye of the storm.
