译林版必修第二册unit2阅读拓展练习2 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Jackie Rodriguez put on a lot of weight after her first child was born.Then，when her daughter was two，she dropped all the weight with practically no effort.“I wasn’t using any fat burners or shakes...nothing，” she says. The change had nothing to do with what Rodriguez ate.Rather，it began when she started a new job that shook up her daily routine.Working in the office of a DJ company near her apartment，she started her work at 5∶30 pm.Instead of sharing dinner with her husband at nine，she ate alone at five and went to work.

Just look at Satchidananda Panda’s mice.Panda，a biologist，is a leading expert on how the timing of food eating affects health.His team has found that mice that eat only during their active hours are healthier and thinner than mice that eat the same food over 24 hours. Encouragingly，when unhealthy mice are allowed to eat only during their daytime，the condition of those having some diseases such as diabetes improves.“It’s likely that we can help treat some diseases just by changing when people eat，” Panda says. 1．How did Jackie Rodriguez lose her weight?
