Diabetes（糖尿病）is caused by a group of metabolic disorder（代谢紊乱) in which there are high blood sugar levels over a long period of time. There are three main types of diabetes:
Type 1 Diabetes results from the body not having enough insulin.(胰岛素)
Type 2 Diabetes mainly happens to those who do not have enough physical exercise, eat too much unhealthy food and get too heavy.
Gestational Diabetes(妊娠期糖尿病)is the third main form. It appears when a woman is having a baby. She will probably get well again after the birth of the baby.
Diabetes can bring serious problem. People with diabetes, especially the Type1, will easily get thirsty and hungry, and quickly lose weight. If it is not treated, it will develop rapidly(weeks or months), and cause many long-term complications(并发症). All the complications related to damage to blood vessels(血管). For example, damage to the eyes. It is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the eyes, and results in gradual vision loss and blindness. The complications will greatly aggrandize the risk of diabetes, by which about 75% of the deaths are caused.
According to a report from the WHO(World Health Organization) in 2015, about 415 million people have diabetes worldwide, which means 8.3% of the adults in the world have diabetes. Of all the cases, 85% to 90% are Type 2 Diabetes. That is to say, most cases of diabetes result from the unhealthy life style. Diabetes doubles a person's risk of early death. From 2012 to 2015, about 1.5 to 5 million deaths each year resulted from this disease. The global economic cost of diabetes in 2014 was around 612 billion USD.
A healthy life style can help prevent diabetes. Doing a lot of physical activities and having a healthy diet will help have normal body weight. Higher levels of physical activity (more than 90 minutes per day) can reduce the risk of diabetes by 28%. Healthy diet includes foods rich in whole grains and fiber, foods with good fats from nuts, vegetable oils and fish, little sugar, and less red meat.

If you’re riding in the car on the way home from school or soccer practice, does the sight of fast food restaurant signs make you hungry for a cheeseburger, some French fries or a piece of pizza?
Think about some of the signs for the most popular fast food restaurants. What do the signs for McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Dairy Queen and Pizza Hut have in common? They all make prominent (突出的) use of two colors: red and yellow.
Could it be that these colors — red and yellow — make you hungry and want to stop for fast food? Although it might sound crazy, that's exactly what some scientists believe. The idea even has a name: the ketchup (番茄酱) and mustard (芥末) theory.
Scientists also point out that studies show that color gets communicated to the brain faster than any other type of communication. For example, experts believe that the color red inspires feelings of warmth, comfort and love. Similarly, yellow draws feelings of happiness, excitement and cheer.
Researchers believe that these colors, especially when used on fast food restaurant signs, create the perfect feelings to make us feel hungry and want to stop to eat.
Other scientists,however,disagree with the ketchup and mustard theory and point out that there isn't enough scientific data (数据) to support the theory. They think that feelings of happiness and excitement connected with the colors red and yellow aren't necessarily equal to hunger.
While the science of colors and their exact influence on us may be uncertain, it’s clear that fast food restaurants believe that in some way, it is good for them to include red and yellow on their signs. Do these colors make us hungry? Maybe ... or perhaps it’s our own happy memories of delicious cheeseburgers, salty French fries and ice- cold sodas that keep us coming back for more!

A.To know when people will feel hungry.

2.What common point do most fast food restaurants share?
A.They provide similar foods. B.Their foods are in red and yellow.
C.Their signs include red and yellow. D.Their foods are the favorite of people.
3.According to Paragraph 4, some scientists believe that ________.
A.people cannot refuse to enjoy fast food B.colors can make communication easier
C.people use colors to express their feelings D.colors have influences on our feelings
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Colors are important to fast food restaurants. B.It’s uncertain whether colors make us hungry.
