Have yu ever felt stuffed after a meal but still craved (渴望) dessert? Sugar’s addictive pwer is n myth. A study in PLS ONE fund 94% f rats preferred artificially sweetened water t ccaine. While sugar isn’t as dangerus as drugs, it stimulates dpamine, the brain’s reward chemical similar t addictive substances.
Our bdies naturally crave carbhydrates, including sugars in fruits. Hwever, prcessed fds verlad us with cncentrated sweeteners. Dr. Tarman, an addictin specialist, cmpares this t cca leaves versus ccaine: Natural sugars are safe, but prcessed versins hijack ur brain’s pleasure system, making peple addictive.
Signs f sugar addictin mirrr drug dependence, such as bsessive fd thughts r secret snacking. Prfessr Meltn highlights universal harm: Excess sugar causes energy crashes, headaches, and blating — regardless f the weight. She als explains hw cravings are rted in dietary patterns. Fr example, many peple feel mentally unsatisfied withut desserts, even when full. Understanding these universal risks paves the way fr effective slutins.
T quit sugar addictin, Dr. Tarman advises abruptly stpping all added sugar. The early stage (5-7 days) may bring intense cravings, anger, and sleeplessness, but symptms fade within weeks. “A little sugar fuels mre cravings — ttal avidance wrks best,” she explains. T reduce sugar intake, she suggests aviding hidden sugars in sauces, ygurts, and snacks and seeking family supprt t remve temptatins (诱惑). Replace cravings with sugar-free gum, tea, r hbbies. At the same time, Prfessr Meltn pints ut that we can avid ffice treats simply by stepping away frm the ffice area and taking walks utside, instead f gathering arund snacks during cffee breaks. When emtinal eating kicks in, we can resist it with 5-minute distractins such as calling a friend r listening t music.
Thugh challenging, quitting sugar reshapes tastes and rebalances brain chemistry. Research shws metablic (新陈代谢) imprvements emerge within fur weeks, including steadier energy. “Apples satisfy as much as candy,” says Dr. Tarman, “Freedm frm bsessin ensures yu enjy meals withut guilt.”
28. Why des the authr mentin the rat study in PLS ONE?
A. T highlight sugar’s ptential harm.
B. T demnstrate sugar’s pwerful appeal.
C. T explain rats’ preference fr sweetness.
D. T cmpare sugar with addictive substances.
29. What des the underlined wrd “hijack” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Cntrl.B. Enhance.C. Create.D. Prtect.
30. What can we learn frm paragraph 3?
A. Sugar addictin is less harmful than drug dependence.
B. Eating desserts brings peple a sense f dissatisfactin.
C. Desire fr sugar are ften related t peple’s eating habits.
D. Overweight peple surely suffer frm the harm f excess sugar.

Nland Arbaug was paralyzed belw the shulders after a diving accident, lsing physical mvement in his limbs. In January 2024, eight years pst-injury, he became the first recipient f a brain implant (植入) frm Neuralink, a US neurtechnlgy firm funded by Eln Musk. This brain-cmputer interface (BCI), which has gne thrugh medical research sessin, translates thughts int cmputer cmmands, enabling Nland t cntrl a cmputer with his mind, thugh it wn’t imprve the cgnitive abilities.
BCI detects electrical signals which are generated when humans think abut mving and transfrm these signals int digital cmmands, such as mving a muse n a screen. Neuralink’s invlvement has brught this decades-ld technlgy int the sptlight, arusing public interest as well as dubt ver the invasive (侵入) prcedure’s safety. Experts hail Nland’s implant as a significant milestne, thugh they nte that a full assessment wuld take time, given Musk’s publicity influence.

Fr instance, he faced a temprary discnnectin that caused him t lse cntrl f his cmputer. Despite ptential benefits, cncerns ver affrdability and implantatin surgery failure remain. Anil Seth, a neurscientist frm Sussex University, pints ut that exprting brain activity can expse persnal thughts, beliefs, and feelings t thers. Frtunately, engineers have managed t enhance the cnnectin and secure the database.
Neuralink isn’t alne in this field. Synchrn’s prduct, a less invasive device implanted thrugh the jugular vein (颈静脉), als cnnects t the brain’s mtr regin, translating thughts int digital utputs. One user reprted that he experienced a virtual travel using the device.
Nland is uncertain what impact the device will have n him in the future. Hwever, he believes his jurney is just the start f a widespread reality. Nland remains ptimistic abut future advancements, hping t cntrl his wheelchair r even a humanid rbt. While BCI hlds huge ptential fr changing lives, especially fr thse with paralysis, they must vercme cmplex pssible challenges.
32. What is the functin f the brain-cmputer interface?
A. T enhance the ability t cmprehend.
B. T shift thughts int cmputer cmmands.
C. T mnitr brain activity fr medical research.
D. T recver physical mvement in paralyzed limbs.
33. What can be inferred abut Nland’s brain implant frm paragraph 2?
A. Its safety has raised the experts’ cncern.
B. Its invasive nature is acceptable fr the public.
C. It has been referred t as a majr step frward.
D. It has been regarded as a fully prven technlgy.
34. What is the authr’s attitude twards BCI?
A. Indifferent.B. Favrable.C. Disapprving.D. Objective.
35. Which f the fllwing is the main idea f the passage?
A. The vital impact n the paralyzed frm BCI.
B. The rle f Musk in the develpment f BCI.
C. The cperatin amng cmpanies ver BCI.
