There might be something sneaky lurking in your lunch. The delicious, calorie-laden cheeseburger ___1___ isn’t health food, but the large soda next to it may pose an even bigger risk to your health.
你的午餐当中或许有什么东西正蠢蠢欲动。那个高热量的美味吉士汉堡显然不是健康食物，但它旁边那一大杯汽水对你的健康威胁更大。

Drinking soda can ___2___ you into overeating. Your body uses a hormone ___3___ ghrelin to make you feel hungry. When you eat ___4___ food, your body stops releasing ghrelin, and you stop feeling hungry. However, drinking a soda doesn’t stop the release of ghrelin, so your hunger ___5___.
喝汽水可能会让你产生错觉，因而饮食过量。你的身体释放一种叫做饥饿激素的荷尔蒙让你感到饥饿。当你吃进固体食物时，你的身体会停上分泌饥饿激素，于是你不再有饥饿感。但是，喝汽水并不能使身体停止分泌饥饿激素，所以你还是会感到饥饿。

A soda is also just like a sugar ___6___. When you drink it, your blood sugar level rises so fast that your body overreacts. It produces too much insulin, ___7___ causes your blood sugar level to drop. Low blood sugar, in turn, causes your body to ___8___ food, and it releases more ghrelin, making you even hungrier.
此外，汽水也像一颗「糖炸弹」。喝汽水的时候，血糖会上升非常快，导致你的身体过度反应。身体会制造过多降血糖的胰岛素。接着，低血糖又会让你的身体想补充食物，于是分泌更多的饥饿激素，让你觉得更饿。

To make matters worse, most soda doesn’t ___9___ any vitamins and minerals. Your body needs them to convert the sugar into energy, and without them, your body will store sugar as ___10__. So the next time you consider a large soda, think twice!
更糟糕的是，多数的汽水无法提供维他命和矿物质。你的身体需要这些物质将糖份转换成能量。如果没有维他命和矿物质，你的身体就会将糖份储存为脂肪。所以，下次你想喝大杯汽水的时候，再多考虑一下吧！
