A
Using a smartphone at mealtime can put on weight, say scientists. Researchers have found that men and women take in more calories (卡路里) when looking at their phones while eating. They also eat more fatty food.
The study suggests that staring (盯) at a phone screen may distract (使……分心) people from how much food they are eating. “It may prevent the correct understanding of the brain over the total food they have eaten,” said researchers who filmed 62 volunteers eating by themselves.
The men and women, aged 18 to 28, were invited to help themselves to a choice of food from healthy food to soft drinks and chocolate—until they got feelings of satisfaction (满足). In three periods, the volunteers were recorded eating with no distractions, using a smartphone or reading a magazine.
The study shows that the volunteers ate 535 calories without the distraction of a smartphone but 591 when using a mobile. They also ate more when reading a magazine.
The study went on at Federal University of Lavras in Brazil and University Medical Centre Utrecht in the Netherlands. “Using smartphones during a meal increased calorie and fat intake,” said Marcio Gilberto Zangeronimoa, a leader of the study. He added, “Tablets (平板电脑) and smartphones have become the main distracters during meals, even early in childhood, so it is important to pay attention to how this may influence food choices.”

A. they want to put on weight
B. they can get feelings of satisfaction easily
C. they are staring at phone screens while eating
D. they would like to eat more and more fatty food

A. choose food freely by themselves
B. help to choose food for young people
C. choose food three times by themselves
D. help to choose food for other volunteers

A. knows the importance of choosing healthy food

Do you like travelling? To travel around the world is the dream of many people. But very few people can afford a world-wide tour because hotels, food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people, however, have thought of some ways to fulfil their dreams.
Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple have been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually very generous and have given them food, wine and day drinks.
Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays in and the food she eats on the Internet with thousands of followers.
With these ways of making money, travelling around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dreams come true.
