2.Fat is an important part of all living things and most body fat in animals and people is white. White fat allows people to eat more than they need when food is enough. It stores those extra calories until food becomes short. ①________
Hibernation(冬眠) can help animals get through the cold winter. They feed themselves on much food in fall in preparation for a long and cold winter. Animals don't eat when they are hibernating. ②_______ To spend an entire winter, these animals enter a state called torpor(不活泼), where they use the white fat more slowly than they usually do.
When in torpor, it seems that animals have been sleeping. But torpor goes much deeper than that. In fact, animals' activities slow down in torpor. ③_______ An animal may take several breaths and then stop breathing for several minutes. Instead of wasting energy to keep warm, bodies in torpor can remain just above freezing. ④______ Every week or two, they will wake up. They stay awake for a day or so before going back into torpor. The time is different in different species. What causes the wake-up or why it happens is unclear. However, all true hibernating animals go through this cycle.
In order to wake up during the hibernation, these animals have to warm their bodies. ⑤______ This process burns up white fat. And not only on hibernating animals, the warming process has the same influence also on humans, Ballinger explains.
