An hur’s extra sleep a night can shave 270 calries ff peple’s daily diets, new research suggests—the equivalent f arund three chclate digestive biscuits. Over three years, this culd lead t a weight lss f 26 punds—simply by sleeping mre, the researchers said.
A team frm the University f Chicag wanted t lk at hw sleep interacts with besity and s carried ut a clinical trial with 80 adults.

The results shwed that getting mre sleep reduced peple’s verall intake by an average f 270 calries per day, with sme peple cnsuming 500 fewer calries. Dr Esra Tasali, frm the University f Chicag’s sleep centre, said the study had nt intended t lk at weight lss.
“But even within just tw weeks, we have quantified evidence shwing a decrease in calric intake and a negative energy balance—calric intake is less than calries burned.” she said. “If healthy sleep habits are kept ver lnger perid. this wuld lead t clinically imprtant weight lss ver time. Many peple are wrking hard t find ways t decrease their calric intake t lse weight—well, just by sleeping mre, yu may be able t reduce it cnsiderably.
The study did nt attempt t restrict peple’s diets. Instead, they slept in their wn beds, tracked their sleep with wearable devices, and therwise fllwed a nrmal lifestyle withut any instructins n diet r exercise. Dr Tasali said that limiting the use f devices such as mbile phnes befre bedtime helped peple get mre sleep. She added. “We saw that after just a single sleep cunselling sessin. participants culd change their bedtime habits enugh t lead t an increase in sleep time.”

Despite the fact that there has never been s much wealth r s many wealthy peple in the wrld, many f the wrld’s pr peple still live in material and energy pverty. Culd yu and I cut back n ur cnsumptin (消耗) s as t make sme space fr thers t increase theirs?
I am sure we culd. But, unfrtunately, everything abut ur ecnmic systems is set up t make us believe and behave therwise. The default (默认) mindset is that there is nthing wrng with wanting ever newer and mre expensive things as lng as we can affrd them.
Lk arund yu fr a mment. N sciety anywhere befre lived like this. Further, since ur spending must necessarily be smene else’s incme, we tell urselves that we actually make the wrld a better place every time we buy anther pair f shes r trade in a car fr the latest mdel. And that’s the tug (拉) f war that plays itself ut cruelly in ur lives, as ne side f ur age cries ut “less”, and frm the ther side cmes the answering cry “mre”.
Of curse, wanting t live a better life is deeply ingrained in human nature. Otherwise, we wuld never have generated the prgress that has brught us t ur present statin.
But nw we shuld think deeply abut hw and why we cnsume.
After all, even the earliest thinkers in the histry f ecnmic—including Adam Smith—thught, having mre des nt always translate int being happier. Evidence shws that many peple in the develping wrld, despite being hard-up, reprt being just as happy as thse in the materially rich scieties f the West.
S what nw? The answer, perhaps, is t try t be rich in the enjyment f things, nt in the accumulatin (堆积) f them. A pair f gd shes, lightly creased (起皱) but als carefully plished (擦亮) nce a mnth a meal cked at hme instead f a trip t McDnald’s—such as these lie ur act f saving frm the virus f cmpulsive (强迫性的) cnsumptin.
12. What can we infer frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. Peple tend t buy things unreasnably.
B. Peple refuse t cut dwn n cnsumptin.
C. Peple all face material and energy pverty.
D. Peple believe in plitical and ecnmic systems.
13. What des the underlined wrd “ingrained” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Held.B. Rted.C. Changed.D. Pssessed.
14. What des the authr suggest?
A. Trying t be rich.B. The mre, the better.
C. Enjying what we have.D. Fcusing n the cmpulsive cnsumptin.
15. In which sectin f a newspaper may this text appear?

Early in my teaching career, I heard cuntless excuses— mst f them fabricated (编造的), many f them amusing fr why students didn’t have their hmewrk. And, yes, “the dg ate it” was ne f them. As time passed and I grew less easily cheated, I grew tired f hearing “I dn’t have my hmewrk because…”
And s I quit accepting any excuse ther than a verifiable (能证实的) death in the family.
When I mved t an inner city middle schl. I tk my n-nnsense attitude with me. “N excuses, n extensins!” I warned my eighth graders n the first day f schl. I cllected hmewrk at the beginning f each class. When a student didn’t have it, I never asked why. Instead, I sighed ludly, shk my head in dramatic dislike and— with the student lking n-recrded a zer in the grade bk. I sn gained the reputatin I thught I wanted.
Then, ne afternn, shrtly after the dismissal bell rang, Anthny apprached me. “Culd I talk t yu a minute?” he asked shyly, nt taking his eyes ff the flr. “I knw yu said it desn’t matter why we dn’t have ur lessns dne. but I dn’t want yu t think I’m a slacker (偷懒的人) because I cme t schl withut mine s ften.”
Anthny lked n at me fr the first time, and I culd see that his lwer lip was quivering (颤抖的). “It’s just that… well, my dad mved ut, and my mm waits tables at night, s I have t take care f my little brthers. Smetimes they cry a lt, and it makes it hard t cncentrate.”
I put my hand n Anthny’s thin shulder. “Why are yu just nw telling ” I stpped in mid-sentence. I knew why. S I changed the questin. “Wuld it help if yu stayed here in my classrm after schl and wrked n it befre yu g hme?”
