Previous studies had found that people were ore 8 . In those laboratory studies, 75% of people reported a - 9 coin and asked for a reward. So the research tea thinks it's being in our own hoes that akes us play fair, although it's not yet clear why.

For years we have been dieting strictly after the year-end overeating, afraid that when suer. coes, the bigger size we have accuulated will betray how we ate. Now scientists say, it's a little bug that causes obesity(肥胖).
As the holiday season with its abundant feasting arrives, illions of food lovers are keeping an eye on their figures. But scientists have found that weight gain is not about too uch Christas
turkey or hot chocolates, but soe bacteria in your guts(肠).
Chinese scientists recently discovered a type ofbacteria in guts that ay be to blae for obesity.
A research tea led by Zhao Liping, a professor in Shanghai, has identified a precise link
between a particular kind ofbacteria and unusual weight gain.
"The endotoxin(内毒素) released by the bacteriu can activate(激活) a gene that helps produce fat. And it also deactivates a gene that consues fat," Zhao says.
Scientists have long believed that icroscopic organiss in the gut, icrobiota, ay play a very iportant role in weight gain, but they had never been able to prove it.
In 2004, Aerican icrobiologist Jeffrey Gordon and his colleagues discovered a general link between obesity and gut icrobiota in ice.
While a link was believed to exist, proving it was another atter.
"The list of diseases that they ay play a role in is just growing and growing," says Lita Proctor, director of the US National Institutes of Health. "But the proble is that we're only able to look at associations and aren't yet able to conduct cause-and-effect studies."
In the clinical study, researchers found a growth of too uch endotoxin-producing bacteria,
leading t0 35 percent ofthe gut bacteria, in an obese patient whose initial weight was 175 kg.
Based on this inforation, researchers tried to cure the patient by feeding hi a specialized
nutritional liquid food to decrease the bacteria in his guts to ignorable aounts.
After 23 weeks, the patient lost 51.4 kg, with his fatty liver disease having alost disappeared.

36. We diet strictly after the year-end overeating because________.
A. we won't betray ourselves
B. we eat too uch turkey
C. there are bacteria in our guts
D. we don't want to look fat
37. What can be learned fro Zhao's research?
A. Obesity is related to a kind of bacteria.
B. Healthy diet helps reduce your fat.
C. Chocolate doesn't cause weight gain.
D. Too uch food leads to overweight.
38. Which of the following stateents is TRUE?
A. Scientists didn't try to find out the cause of overweight.
B. There is a link between ice's overweight and huan's.
C. Lita proved the link between bacteria and weight gain.

Several years ago, I had to replace a receptionist for y unit. Before I advertised for the position, I was approached by another anager, and asked ifl would consider a transfer fro his staffinstead of opening a new copetition. y natural question was to ask who he wanted e to consider and why.
It appeared fro his description of this eployee, aria, that she was having a lot of probles perforing her duties, and had difficulties with her boss, and did not appear to respond to any attepts he, the anager, had ade to settle the issues. Now, after listening to his explanation, I really had severe doubts. What crossed y ind, after this discussion, was that he wanted e to take a proble off his hands.
I told hi I would think about it and would let hi know the next day. As proised, after thinking ore about this potential perforance issue, I decided that I would agree to speak with aria privately before I ade any decision.
And, what I found out during this interview, left e deep in thought. As it tued out, the perforance issue appeared to result fro working for a boss who never extended a good orning. greeting, never gave a word of encourageent, and was constantly changing the work load and routines.

I was orethan happy to give her what she needed-praise for work well done, respect as a person, and encourageent for doing well in anything she dealt with.

You need to know that the essence of who you are is continually iproving in soe way. Keep looking for ways to ake yourself better today than you were yesterday. This can ean different things to different people but the point is that you have to feel like you are iproving and getting better as a huan being as tie goes by.

believe that they were put here to do soething great. As long as you know that by your being here,by doing what you are doing, you are helping soeone soewhere, it will bring you happiness.
