【题目】Anger and other strong emotions (情感) can probably cause deadly heart beats in certain weak people,the US researchers said on Monday.

Earlier studies have shown that earthquake,war or even the loss of a World Cup Soccer game can increase chances of death from sudden cardiac arrest,in which the heart stops passing blood.

“It’s certainly been shown in all different ways that when you put people under pressure,sudden death will increase,” said Dr.Rachel Lampert of Yale University in New Haven,Connecticut.

“Our study starts to look at how this really has an effect on the electrical system of the heart,” Lampert said.

She and her assistants studied 62 patients with heart disease and ICDs that can discover dangerous heart beats and send an electrical shock to bring a normal heart beat back.

Patients in the study took part in an exercise in which they told a recent angry period while Lampert’s team did a test called TWave Alternant that measures electrical instability(不稳定性) in the heart.

Lampert said the team on purpose asked questions to get people to experience the angry period again.“We found in the lab that yes,anger did increase this electrical instability in these patients,” she said.

Next,they followed patients for three years to see which patients later had a cardiac arrest and needed a shock from their ICDs.“The people who had the highest anger were 10 times more likely than everyone else to have cardiac arrest,” she said.

Lampert said the study suggests that anger can be deadly,at least for people who are already weak /span>to this type of electrical disorder in the heart.

【题目】My 17yearold daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production,one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night lights,she takes one last look at the bedroom and says,“Dear night lights,protect my sleeping children.” As a mother,I know how much she loves her children.

It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting (适应) well after a short period of homesickness. For us,though,it’s another story. Like most parents,I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone,and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.

In my neighborhood,most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.

For us moms,seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy,who is the same age as our kids,say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier.“You feel like something has been taken away from inside you,” said one of them.

I imagine things will get easier with time,especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile,as I keep my cellphone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night,I like to think at messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.
