35、erally good for our health,not all fat is created equal-some may even be beneficial. - 9 - There are two major kinds of body fat.White fat,the most abundant type,is what you feel when you squeeze your midsection.Brown fat,found mainly in the neck region,burns energy rather than storing it the way wh
36、ite fat does.Brown fat may also help avoid diabetes.According to a study in Cell Metabolism,individuals with higher amounts of brown fat had smaller changes in blood sugar and thus a reduced risk of developing diabetes.Infants have high levels of brown fat,which helps regulate their body temperature
37、.Sadly,we lose it as we age,and adults have only small amounts. Adults can increase brown fat by exposing themselves to cold temperatures.In a recent study, people who slept in a mildly cold room(about 66 degrees F)increased the amount and activity of their brown fat by up to 40 percent.Sleeping in
38、mild warmth(81 degrees F),however,decreased their amount of brown fat.Cold showers dont seem to affect it. Brown fat does have its drawbacks.Radiologists dont like it,because the heat it causes makes it harder for body cans to detect activities in patients.Although theres no firm evidence that any s
39、pecific foods or nutrients can activate brown fat,radiologists routinely recommend that patients eat a high-fat,low-carb diet before scans on the grounds that this reduces brown fat activation. Just as brown fat isnt perfect,neither is white fat all bad.Even though people tend to hate it, white fat
40、delivers important health benefits.It protects our vital organs,helps keep us warm,and stores calories for later use,keeping us from starving when food is scarce. White fat can sometimes be turned into brown-its then called beige or brite (“brown in white“)fat.Like brown fat,beige fat burns energy a
41、nd can thus help fight against obesity.Scientists are still trying to figure out how the change happens;one study points to a hormone called irisin, which our muscles produce when we exercise. Fat cells sensitivity to temperature changes means theres more than one way we can get rid of unwanted fat.
42、Cooling treatments,for instance,freeze fat cells to death.The body removes these damaged cells over several months. 58.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“midsection“in the second paragraph? A.Leg. B.Arm. C.Wrist. D.Waist. 59.Generally speaking,who have a larger proportion of brow
43、n fat? A.Babies. B.Senior people. C.Fat people. D.Thin people. 60.The following kinds of fat can help people fight against obesity EXCEPT_ A.Beige fat. B.Brite fat. C.White fat. D.Brown fat. C Every Morning,Breanna Roque goes out to the farm to feed the cows.But this isnt your typical farm;its a lab
44、oratory,and Roque is a graduate researcher at the University of California,Davis.Shes - 10 - been spending her time among the cows to see if she can adjust their diets so they burp （打嗝） less.The cows special diet includes small parts of a red seaweed.It contains a chemical combination,which prevents
45、 the production of CH4 during the cows digestion.Less CH4 means less burping.And less burping could mean slowing down climate change globally. Although agriculture accounts for a smaller percentage of total greenhouse gas production than sectors like transportation and energy,it produces more CH4,wh
46、ich warms the Earth up to 86 times as much as CO2.When cows eat,they burp food back up,producing CH4 as a byproduct. Researchers across the globe have been pursuing the idea that adding substances to feed might help reduce these CH4-loaded burps.But it wasnt until 2016 that researchers in Australia
47、found that grass feed of 2 percent seaweed could cut CH4 productions by nearly 99 percent.In 2019,Roques team published the results of a similar study:They cut CH4 production 95 percent by adding to a typical U.S.dairy cow diet with just 5 percent seaweed.But questions remained about the seaweeds effectiveness in actual cow stomachs. So more researchers headed to the farm.They found that a diet of just 0.5 percent seaweed led to a 26-percent decrease in CH4.A 1-percent seaweed diet produced 67 percent less CH4.Furthe
