In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was travelling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.
After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor and said, Son, you must have dropped this, the owner said. The young man couldnt believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.
On the way out of town, he began to understand what the owner did. Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn’t embarrass(使尴尬)me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can.”
Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the Secret Santa because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street and at restaurants. Last year, he gave more than $50,000 away in Kansas City.

People who are obese（肥胖）have a worse memory than their thinner friends, a small study shows. Tests on 50 people showed that being overweight was linked to worse episodic memory or the ability to remember past experiences.
The study in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology argues that a less vivid memory of recent meals may lead to overeating. However, other aspects of memory such as general knowledge show no signs.
Tests on rats have previously shown that with burgeoning waistlines come poorer performances in memory tests, but the evidence in humans has been mixed.
Fifty people with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ranging from 18 (healthy) to 51 (very obese) took part in a memory test a bit like doing a treasure hunt on your own. They had to hide objects at different times and on different scenes displayed on a computer screen. They were later asked to recall what they had hidden, when and where. The results showed obese peoples scores were 15% lower than thinner people.
Dr. Lucy Cheke, from the University of Cambridge, told the BBC News website, The suggestion were making is that a higher BMI is having some reduction on the vividness of memory, but they’re not drawing blanks and having amnesia(失忆症). As a matter of fact, if they have a less strong memory of a recent meal, with a less strong impact in the mind, then they may have less ability to regulate how much they eat later on.” Hunger hormones(激素) play a huge role in how much we eat, but it has already been recognized that our minds have a key role too.
Dr. Cheke concluded, “It is too early to talk in terms of advice, but we are certainly beginning to observe how obesity causes itself to continue.
8. What does the underlined word burgeoning in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. changing. B. declining. C. swinging. D. increasing.
9. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?
A. The researchers compare the performances of people with various BMIs.
B. Fifty subjects are required to seek for objects hidden by the researchers.
C. All aspects of memory will be influenced by obesity.
D. The number of rats tested is the same as that of people.
10. Dr. Lucy Chekes words indicate that _______.
A. its high time that they provided suggestions on dealing with obesity
B. its our minds rather than hunger hormones that play an important role
C. having a higher BMI has a negative influence on memory to some extent
D. if suffering from weak memory, people cannot regulate behaviors
11. Where does this text probably come from?
A. An entertainment magazine. B. A science report.
C. An advertisement. D. Science fiction.
