What makes peple gain weight? This seems like a simple enugh questin t answer. If we eat a lt and dn’t d enugh exercise, we will becme fat. Hwever, the science behind weight prblem is mre cmplicated (复杂的) than we think.

Peple frm habits arund fd at a yung age. Yu may nt tuch vegetables while vereating delicius beef. Als, the serving size and the backgrund music can bth affect hw much we eat.

If we ften have delicius fd, ver time, ur brains will change. Cmpared t peple f nrmal weight,fat peple feel mre excited when they see delicius fd.
Als, ur bdies use a variety f hrmnes (多种激素) t tell ur brains whether they are hungry r full. Ghrelin (胃饥饿素), fr example, tells the brain that the bdy wants fd. Leptin (瘦素), meanwhile, tells the brain that it’s time t stp eating. Nrmally, ghrelin and leptin help us t maintain a healthy weight. But smetimes, they may wrk imprperly. As we get fatter, the levels f leptin in ur bdies rise. Our brains are tld nt t eat all the time. In the end, they wuld n lnger trust leptin and wuld stp replying t its “warnings”. When we start t lse weight, leptin levels drp. Our brains think we are hungry and make us find fd t eat.
Nw yu knw why fat peple ften have a hard time lsing weight. They may have tried very hard, buttheir bdies are wrking against their will.

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Last week, a clleague (同事)f mine tld me she had just spent tw hurs explaining t her students hw t use the wrd “'as”. I asked her if she thught, after all f her great effrt, her students wuld be able t use the wrd crrectly in everyday cnversatins. Her answer, interestingly, was,
“Prbably nt.” I began t wnder whether it was wrth it t spend s much time teaching grammar rules t students. Indeed, grammar is imprtant, It cntrls hw wrds are put tgether in rder t frm sentences. Fr years, many teachers have been tirelessly explaining grammar less t their students befre giving them plenty f exercises t d.
In recent years, hwever, mre and mre studies have fund that, fr mst language learners, studying grammar rules is nt that imprtant. Sme researchers even cnsider it t be a waste f time. This has left sme yung teachers t wnder: Shuld I teach grammar t my students?
In my pinin, students shuld be taught grammar, Hwever, I think grammar shuldn't be cnsidered as a separate “skill” r “curse". Fr the past tw years, I have created situatins in which my students feel a need t use gd grammar in rder t cmmunicate prperly in English. I leave them t discver the grammar rules n their wn. Meanwhile, I encurage them t use English as much as pssible utside f the classrm. I believe that, t becme gd at English, the mst imprtant thing is t spend time practising speaking it.
I wn’t ever spend tw hurs explaining a grammar rule. It will nly make my students fall asleep rather than imprve their English.
56. Hw lng did the writer’s clleague spend explaining hw t use the wrd “as”?
57. Why des the writer think grammar is imprtant?
58. What d sme researchers think f grammar learning?
59. Des the writer think grammar is a separate “skill” r “curse”?
60. What teaching methds used by the writer d yu think are helpful?
