Alltastyfoodsdothis,butsugarhasaparticularlystrongeffect.Inthis
way,it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all

“It seems like every time I 66 an illness andtrace (追踪) a pathto the first cause, I
find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have
high blood pressure, and up to 346 million have diabetes (糖尿病). Why? “Sugar, we believe, is
oneofthefactors,ifnotthemajorfactors,”saysJohnson.
Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little

foodsareincreasinglyfilledwithit. Somemanufacturers(制造商)evenusesugartoreplacetaste
in foods that are advertised as 69 in fat. So while the foods appear to be healthier, large
amountsofsugarareoftenadded.
But some people are fighting against sugar and trying to create a healthier environment.
Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options, like fruit. Other schools are
trying to encourage exercise by building facilities like walking tracks 70 students and

they can s 72 items to sell. The w 73 isn’t just about
things being stolen. If these tunnels fall down, they could injure
peoplevisitingthesite.
Humanguards atthesite havebeenexploring thetunnelsbutthey
are often too n 74 to easily enter.They can also be dangerous as they might fall down at
anymoment.
This is where Spot, a dog-like robot, steps in.At nighttime, when there are no visitors, Spot

Spotcanenter the small tunnels andgive a l 76 broadcastof whatit cansee.Withits four
