17．If there was ever a study not to lose sleep over，it's this one．People deprived（剥夺） of a good night's rest are more likely to experience changes in brain activity that can increase the urge to eat high-calorie foods．
Matthew Walker at the University of California in Berkeley and his colleagues conducted the first study of brain activity in relation to food among sleep-deprived people．The team studied brain patterns in 23people，first after a night of peaceful sleep and then after a night without sleep．
Sleep deprivation reduced activity in three areas of the brain that help，among other things，to process flavour signals．It also led to more activity in the brain，which helps govern the desire to eat．The team also found that volunteers considered pictures of high-calorie foods as more desirable after no sleep than after a good rest．
It may make evolutionary（进化的） sense，says Laurent Brondel at the University of Burgundy in Dijon，France．The long summer days at higher latitudes（纬度） deprive animals of sleep，but they use their time awake to eat more，which helps them get through the short days of winter when there is not enough food．
That's only part of the story，though，says Stephanie Greer，another member of the team．The body does need more energy if someone remains awake for longer-but the high-calorie foods that become more desirable after sleep deprivation would more than meet this additional need．The changes in food desirability encouraged by the sleep-deprived brain may originally have been an important adaptation but today they no longer benefit our health．
Brondel agrees with this conclusion．"Sleep deprivation could change eating behaviour，"he says．Whatever the cause，there's one clear message from the study．"These findings provide opportunities to adjust our environment and behaviour in new ways to handle such health problems，"Greer says．"Specifically，our study shows that one choice people can make is to regularly obtain enough amounts of sleep．"

15．A new computer program is being praised as a life-changer for blind people．The new program is known as the KNFB Reader app．It can help users listen to an audio（声音的） read-back---the sound of printed material．
The application software program costs 99．It is the product of a long relationship between the National Federation of the Blind and Ray Kurzweil，a computer scientist and an employee of Google．
The KNFB Reader makes use of new pattern recognition and image-processing technology，and new hardware for smartphones．People using the app can adjust，or change the position of the camera and read printed materials out loud．
Mr．Kurzweil started working on what he called"reading machines"in the early 1970s．The idea came after speaking with a blind person who expressed frustrations with the lack of technology to help blind people．His first reading machine was the size of a washing machine．It cost 50，000．The technology has continued to improve over the past 20years．The new smartphone app can recognize and take printed material in one language and change it to another language．But it was not available on a mobile device until now．In the past，it cost more than 1，000to use the software app with a camera and a mobile phone．
Blind people say the app will make life much easier and it will help with everything from reading restaurant menus to studying papers in the classroom．Users say the app has given some people greater independence．One user，named Gordon Luke，reported that he was able to use the app to read his voting card for the recent voter in Scotland．
Bryan Bashin leads the non-profit group Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San Francisco．He is also blind．He says the KNFB app shows the positive impact that technology can have and there are times in his life when he wished the KNFB app were available to him．He adds that the ability to gain information quickly with something that fits in your pocket will be，what he calls，"a game changer"．
67．What can the KNFB Reader app be used to do？D
