【题目】Do You Have’ Social Jet Lag(社交时差)

People who have different sleep patterns on the weekends than they do during the work week may experience “social jet lag”.1 For every hour of social jet lag, the risk of being overweight or obese rises about 33%,says researcher Till Roenneberg, PhD, a professor at the Institute of Medical Psychology at the University of Munich.

Roenneberg, who created the term, says social jet lag is caused by the shift in sleep schedule that many people experience on their days off, compared to work days.2

It goes like this: You don’t have to get up for work so you don’t take trouble setting the alarm. That means you get up an hour or two later than you might during the work week.3

As a result, many people get more sleep on their days off than they do during the week, and they sleep on a slightly different schedule-a schedule that is closer to their body’s natural rhythms.

4 “The behavior looks like most people on a Friday evening fly from Paris to New York or from Los Angeles to Tokyo and on Monday they fly back. Since this looks like almost a travel jet lag situation, we call it social jet lag.” he says.

5When you arrive in a different place, the sun is coming up and setting at a different time, and your body can reset its own clock to match. With social jet lag, the schedule disturbance is lasting because a person stays in the same place. “They have to live a life almost in a different time zone in comparison to their biological clock,”Ronneberg says.

A.Sleep, he thinks ,should get more respect.

B.He guesses that it affects about two-thirds of the population.

C.A key difference between travel jet lag and social jet lag, however, is light.

D.And depending on what type of person you are, the difference can be significant.

E.Roenneberg explains switching sleep schedules this way feels like changing time zones.

F.A new study shows this shift in sleep schedule is connected with obesity.

G.You may also push your bedtime back so you can go out with friends.

【题目】Water—To Your Health!

Study after study shows that drinking enough water defends against problems from head to toe. Water is a basic need for cell health. 1. So pour yourself a nice big glass, sit back, and take a look at the many benefits being well hydrated(保持充足水分)can bring to your health.

You’ll have lots of energy

2 When you’re dehydrated, cells won’t function well enough and the flow is not so smooth affecting your physical and mental performance and making you feel sluggish(迟钝的), according to a review of hydration research conducted by scientists at the University of North Carolina.

You might lose weight

A new study from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign involving more than 18,000 adults found that when people increased their daily water intake by one to three 8-ounce cups (on top of the four they already drank on average), they ate less. 3.

Your memory may improve

Your brain is hugely dependent on fluid—all those brain cells need liquid to fire properly. According to a review published in the journal Nutrients, studies have consistently found that memory and attention improve in children after they take a drink of water. 4.

Your skin will grow

According to research, skin is at least 30 percent water. If your skin cells don’t get the water they need, they’ll start to wither and shrink. But if you drink enough water, you skin cells will become larger, softer and rounder, minimizing the appearance of wrinkles.

5

When women in a small study from the University of Connecticut lost just 1.36 percent of their body mass through sweat (and didn’t drink enough water to replace it), their moods soured and they were more likely to experience headaches and exhaustion.

A. You’ll be in higher spirits

B. You’ll feel strong when you work out

C. It can have a magic power to your mind and body

D. Their food intake dropped by as much as 205 calories a day

E. Water helps keep up a steady flow of nutrients into your cells

F. That means your cells need more fluid to keep up with the demands

G. The research is less clear on whether this pattern holds true for adults

In the United States, engineering is a profession that has been dominated historically by men. Even today, it’s still true that few women become civil or chemical or mechanical engineers, but that’s something www.EngineerGirl.org aims to change. Young women who visit the web site can find out about a great career choice they might not have considered.

“Women are very much underrepresented in engineering and in engineering education programs and then of course, down the road, in the engineering workforce. So only about 20 percent of engineering undergraduate degrees go to women, and then only about nine percent of working engineers are women.”

Mary Mattis in the National Academy of Engineering says the EngineerGirl website aims to reach young women around ages 11 through 14, when they are just getting old enough to start thinking about their futures.

“We know from the research that middle-school girls are at a critical point in their lives, and that it’s a time when we need to reach them, both with an understanding, increasing their awareness of interesting fields in engineering, what a wonderful productive and exciting career you can have as an engineer. But we also need to reach them at that time because you have to take certain courses, and you can’t start thinking about taking those courses when you’re a junior in high school.”

Engineering is a demanding course of study — there is a lot of science and mathematics, for many girls and even boys, that can be challenging. But Ms. Mattis says that the EngineerGirl website stresses that engineering can also be fun and exciting.

“It’s about designing things. It’s about changing the world for people. It’s about making a difference. And, in addition, you can make a good living; you can be independent economically by becoming an engineer. All of those things are messages that girls need to get.”

While most engineers go into traditional fields such as mechanical and electrical engineering, the EngineerGirl site also highlights unusual engineering careers in fields such as sports engineering and — believe it or not — chocolate engineering.

“There’s a section called ‘why be an engineer,’ and that talks about the many opportunities and increasingly different opportunities like with bio-engineering and environmental engineering, some fields that might appeal to girls who want to make a difference or have a meaning for their careers beyond earning an income.”Even if you are not a girl in the target age group, there’s a lot of interesting information on the site, including biographies of some notable women engineers.

【题目】 People who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds.It's possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses,say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University(CMC)in Pittsburgh.

We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,"says psychologist Sheldon Cohen,the study's lead researcher.

In a previous study,Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles,coughs and other cold symptoms.People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors,even when medical tests detected those symptoms.

Those findings were interesting,but they didn't prove that a person's attitude affects whether he or she gets sick.Instead,it was still possible that a person's underlying personality is what matters.

Evidence suggests,for instance,that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic,with high self-esteem and a sense of control over life.This would mean that who we are,not how we feel,ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.

To figure out which mattered more,personality or emotions,the researchers interviewed 193 healthy adults.The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings they had experienced that day.

The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected.Their symptoms,however,differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous fortnight.

Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus,for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses.On the other hand,those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive.Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are.For now,it can't hurt to look on the bright side more often than not!

1What is the text mainly about?

A.How to get rid of colds.

B.Attitude determines life.

C.Smiles turn away colds.

D.Different opinions about colds.

2The phrase"full of vim and vigor"underlined in Paragraph 1 probably means"

A.ignorantB.well-informed

C.energeticD.passive

3According to the finding,a leading factor of catching colds should be one's.

A.healthB.personality

C.qualityD.mood

4By saying the last paragraph,the writer intends to suggest

A.the saying-every coin has two sides

B.positive emotions are as good as negative emotions

C.it is not necessarily good for you if you always look at problems positively

D.it will be good for your health to always keep up an optimistic state of mind
