阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　“Sleep-disordered breathing” is a term for a group of conditions that can interfere with nornlal breathing while people sleep．These include snoring, mouth-breathing and sleep apnea(窒息)．Sleep-disordered breathing can do more than just leave people feeling tired the next day．It can also affect people's health．In children the effects can include behavioral and emotional problems．

　　In a new study．1ed by Karen Bonuck at the Einstein College of Medicine．researchers asked parents about their children's breathing from when they were babies up to about age seven．The study finds sleep-disordered breathing is associated with a fifty percent increase in outcomes including hyperactivity(多动症), aggressiveness and problems relating to other children．

　　Ms．Bonuck says the more serious the breathing problems, the more serious the behavioral issues were likely to be．Other studies have：linked sleep with children's behavior, but this study was extensive enough to：reject other possible causes．

　　How well do you sleep? A popular belief is that sleep gets worse with age．But．in another new study, those who reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep were people in their eighties．

　　Researchers did a telephone survey of American aduhs．Michael Grandner at the University of Pennsylvania medical school says the original goal was to confirm that aging is connected with increased sleep problems．The survey did find an increase during middle age, worse in women than men．But except for that, people reported that their sleep quality improved as they got older．At least they felt it did．

　　Mr．Grandner says．“Even if sleep among older Americans is actually worse than in younger adults, feelings about it still improve with age．”

　　In the study, health problems and depression were linked with poor sleep．But, based on the study．Mr．Grandner says older people who are not sick or depressed should be reporting better sleep．“If they're not．they need to talk to their doctor．”he says．He says heahtlh care providers generally dismiss sleep complaints from older adults as a normal part of aging．

A good night’s sleep in the early years of life could be very important in preventing a child becoming obese, say scientists. Babies and pre-school children who sleep for less than ten hours a night are more likely to be overweight when they are older, research has found. Experts believe that those who do not get enough sleep are more likely to feel hungry and want more calorie-rich food during the day.

Former research has linked sleeping with obesity in adults and teenagers, but this is one of the first to look at very young children. Researchers from the Universities of Washington and California looked at the sleeping habits of almost 1,000 children under the age of five. They found those who had less than ten hours’ sleep were twice as likely to be overweight five years later.

Childhood obesity has doubled over the past 10 years. A quarter of secondary school pupils are now judged to be so overweight that their health is in danger. Experts believe sleep, or lack（缺乏）of it, could be a major cause of this. On average children are sleeping for an hour less than they did 30 years ago. Last year Chinese researchers looked at more than 5,000 youngsters and found that those who were able to catch up on （补充）sleep at the weekend were far less likely to get body weight problems. Scientists have also found a link between lack of sleep and diabetes（糖尿病）. Last year Canadian researchers discovered those who did not get seven or eight hours’ sleep a night were two and a half times more likely to become sick.

The underlined word “obese” in the first paragraph may mean       .

A．quite protective             B．very sad        

C．very fat                 D．quite young

According to Chinese researchers, if a person who lacks sleep can get more sleep during weekends,       .

A．he won’t get hungry easily         B．he will feel tired all the time

C．there will be little chance of him becoming fat

D．it will be very hard for him to fall asleep at night

From the passage we know       .

A．too little sleep will result in illness besides obesity

B．in the past people didn’t connect sleep with weight

C．fat children must have slept less than 10 hours five years ago

D．most children are unhealthy because of little sleep

What would be the best title of the passage?

A．A good night’s sleep helps the development of kids’ brain!

B．Ten hours’ sleep prevents overweight in kids!

C．Children are sleeping much less nowadays!

D．More teenagers get weight problems!

Where can you most probably read this passage?

A．In the latest news.          B．In a children’s book.
