Q: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Long before they became doctors, lawyers, CEO's or real estate developers, they played in garage bands and maybe even dreamed of becoming rock stars. That's why they signed up for Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp. For nearly a week, the mostly middle-aged "campers" had practiced in the West 54th Street studios. They came from as far away as London and Tokyo and as close as Long Island and downtown New York to prepare for their moment of onstage glory. "I feel like I'm 18 again," said Jerry Goldberg, a 60-year-old investment banker and guitar player, whose family was in the audience." I admit that I felt a little uncertain when I first got here, but this has turned out to be a wonderful experience, one of the greatest of my life." Everybody has two businesses, their own business and show business. This can be a life-changing experience for them. Mr. Daltrey, who has appeared at several fantasy camps, was asked why he keeps coming back. "I've had people tell me that I shouldn't be doing this, that it's bad for my image," he acknowledged. "But that's rubbish. Look, it's all so positive, and everybody is having so much fun. So what's bad about that?" Jeff Munger, a drummer and rancher said. "I'm at a point in my life where I'm going to spend my money on things I'm passionate about, and I'm absolutely crazy about music." Most of the campers are successful executives or professionals: a founder of the Oracle Computer Company, a businessman whose father invented the Big Mac, a plastic surgeon, presidents of health care and seafood companies.

Q: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: There are new findings that not enough sleep may cause people to gain weight.Researchers say a lack of sleep can produce hormonal changes that increase feelings of hunger. In one study,researchers in the United States examined information on more than 1000 people.The people had taken part in a long-term study of sleep disorders. Some people slept less than five hours a night.They had 15 percent higher blood levels of a hormone called ghrelin than people who slept eight hours.And they had 15 percent less of the hormone leptin.Experts say ghrelin helps make people feel hungry;leptin makes you feel full. The scientists say these hormonal changes may be a cause of obesity in Western societies.They note the combination that limitation is common and is widely available. The results were not affected by how much people exercised.People who are awake longer have more time to burn energy.But the researchers say loss of sleep may increase hunger especially for high-calorie foods,so people gain weight.It seems that,for survival,the body may be designed to store more fat during times with less sleep. Researchers from Stanford University in California and the University of Wisconsin did the study.They found that the best amount of sleep for weight control is 7.7 hours a night. The Public Library of Science published the findings in its journal Medicine.Internet users can read the full study,free of charge,at plos.org. Question: Which of the following shows the right way in which lack of sleep causes weight gain? Answer:

OPTIONS:
- more ghrelin and less leptin-feeling hungry-eating more
- feeling hungry-eating more-more ghrelin and less leptin
- burning more energy-feeling hungry-eating more
- more leptin and less ghrelin-feeling full-less exercise

A:
more ghrelin and less leptin-feeling hungry-eating more
