【题目】Scientists have discovered that ____【1】____(stay) in the cold could help us lose weight. Researchers at the University of California found that exposure to the cold increases levels of a protein that helps form brown fat -------- the type of fat that produces heat and keeps us warm. Brown fat burns energy, ____2______ helps us lose weight. White fat stores extra energy, which results ____3_____ weight gain. The researchers said that because air conditioning and heating give us constant, ____4_______(comfort) temperatures, our body's need for brown fat has decreased. They found that: "Outdoor workers in northern Finland who _____5______(expose) to cold temperature have __6____ significant amount of brown fat when ___7___(compare) to same-aged indoor workers."

The research was conducted on two different control groups of mice. __8____ group was injected with the protein that helps create brown fat. This group later gained 30% less weight after both groups were fed high-fat diets. The researchers say this could be good news in the fight against obesity. People who are obese have _9__(low) levels of brown fat than thinner people. Head researcher Hei Sook Sul said: "This protein could become an important target for research into the treatment and prevention of obesity and obesity-related diseases." She added: "If you can somehow increase levels of this protein, you could ____【10_____(possible) lose more weight even if eating the same amount of food."
