“I'm not sure what you call that thing,”I(15)again,“but it's American food, and you put tomato sauce(16)everything.”
　　“(17),miss,”he said shaking his head,“but we don't have tomato sauce here. Never have it.”
　　I walked back to Sharon and asked her the question. She(18)and asked me to wait for a while. A few minutes later, she was back with several(19)that I had asked for .So, they(20)used the same package for the tomato 　　sauce.Oh,no,it's (21)right there:“Ketch-up.”

　　In the United States,30 percent of the adult(成年人)population has a “weight problem”.To many people, the cause is clear: We eat too much .But scientific evidence(科学证明)does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910,we find that people were thinner than today ,yet they ate more food .In those days people worked harder physically(体力地),walked more ,used machines much less, and didn't watch television.
　　Several modern studies, moreover(此外),have shown that fatter people don't eat more on average(平均)than thinner people. In fact ,some investigations ,such as a 1970 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that ,on balance ,fat people eat less than slimmer(苗条)people.
　　Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts.
The more the men ran, the greater loss(失去)of body fat.
The more they ran, the greater their increase(增加)in food intake(吸收).
　　Thus those who ran the most ate the most ,yet lost greatest amount of body fat.
