Today’s Britain is full of TV shows like Fame Academy, which claim to offer young hopefuls an instant passport to fame and riches. But a very different kind of academy may provide a new generation of Brits with a slower, steadier path to wealth. A "pig academy" in the east of England is aiming to train up new pig farmers to help boost local agriculture and meet the UK’s growing demand for pork. Last year consumption of pork products increased by 6,000 tonnes. But British farmers have not benefited from this rise in demand. A combination of increasing feed prices, competition from cheaper imports and an outbreak of foot and mouth disease have all eaten into their profits. Pig numbers in the UK have actually almost halved in the last decade. Now, Fresh Start Pig Academy in Lincolnshire is launching a course which intends to redress the balance. They say pig husbandry is a growth industry and newcomers are welcome. For those of you who fancy getting your hands dirty, the course will teach you everything you need to know: from keeping pigs healthy to raising the capital needed to start up. Pig farmer Anne Longthorp followed her father into the industry and believes that farming pigs is very rewarding work: "They’re great, inquisitive animals to work with. Just watching their behaviour —it’s really interesting work. There is a lot more to pig farming than people give us credit for. It’s very scientific." So, while most of Britain’s young people may continue to dream of overnight stardom, others will hope a more traditional career will help them bring home the bacon. According to the passage, a new generation of Brits will benefit from the "pig academy"______.

Researchers at the New York Obesity Nutrition Research Center at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital found that sleep-deprived people seem to bum the same number of calories as the well-rested, but they consume about 300 more calories a day. Given that it takes just 3,500 calories to add a pound to your body, those calories can quickly turn into extra weight. But there are several other reasons that sleep loss could lead to weight gain, says sleep disorder specialist Michael Breus. When we get too little shut-eye, our metabolism slows down to conserve energy. That slowdown triggers the release of the hormone cortisol, which increases appetite. Your body thinks it needs more energy, so it asks for more food. In a vicious cycle, sleep loss also causes our bodies to release more ghrelin (胃饥饿素), another hormone that signals hunger, and less leptin (瘦素), the hormone that tells your stomach that it’s full. With your hormones off-kilter, your body wants more food and lacks the sensitivity to know when to stop eating. Not to mention that being awake more hours gives you more time to snack. "The later you’re up at night, the greater the likelihood that you’re going to eat," Breus says. And "you’re more likely to eat high-fat, high-carb foods." One other contributing factor to such weight gain is that the body bums the most calories during REM sleep, a deeply restful phase. And less sleep means less time in REM. For optimal health, experts say you should try to get 7.5 hours of sleep a night. If you have trouble sleeping, stick to a nightly routine, exercise during the day, banish worries to a journal, and keep pre-bedtime activities relaxing. Researchers found that sleep-deprived people seem to______.
