  Working the night shift(夜班)a few nights a month can do more than leave your eyes bleary-eyed(视力模糊)，suggests a study on Wednesday．

    It just might increase your risk of colorectal cancer(结肠直肠癌)．Nurses who worked the night shift at least three times a month for t5 years or more were 35％more likely to develop that type of cancer than nurses who never worked nights，Harvard University researchers report in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute．

    The finding，from the ongoing Nurses Health Study，is the first to link night shift work with a higher risk of colorectal cancer，expected to kill 57，100 Americans this, according to the American Cancer Society．Another research，including a report out of the Nurses Health Study， has suggested that working night shifts increases women's breast cancer risk．

    The researchers asked 78，586 nurses whether they had ever worked three or more night shifts a month．The nurses indicated whether they had done so for less than 15 years or 15 years or more．The scientists followed the women to see who developed colorectal cancer．

    Researchers believe that lowered levels of melatonin(褪黑素)might increase night-shift workers' cancer risk．Melatonin levels usually reach the highest point in the middle of the night．

Turn on the lights，though，and they dropped measurably in just 10 minutes，says Richard Stevens a cancer epidemiologist at the University of Connecticut who did not take part in the new study．After two weeks of continuous nightly exposure to light，humans experience a sharp drop in melatonin production，Nurses Health Study researchers write．

   In the lab，melatonin appears to stop tumor(肿瘤)growth．Other studies suggest that colorectal cancer patients have lower blood levels of melatonin than healthy people，the authors write．However，that could be a result of the disease，not a cause of it．Stevens says．

    Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer．I always encourage such people，but I also explain that there's a big difference between“being a writer”and writing．In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame．not the long hours alone at a typewriter．“You've got to want to write，”I say to them，“not want to be a writer”．

    The reality is that writing is a lonely，private and poor―paying affair．For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded．When I left a 20―year career in the U．S．Coat Guard to become a freelance writer，I had no hope at all．What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building．It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom．I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer．

    After a year or so．however．I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself．It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat．But I knew I wanted to write，l had dreamed about it for years．I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, what if? I would keep putting my dream to the test―even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure．This is the shadow land of hope，and anyone with a dream must learn to live there．

    By taking a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly develop their children's language skills．It is surprising but true．How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children'’s language development．If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading．the child's language skills increase．

    A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents．Half of the children took part in the experimental study；the other half acted as the control group．In the experimental group，the parents were given a two-hour training and they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions．For example，the parent should ask，“What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the doggie running away?” The patents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers，how to suggest different possibilities and how to praise correct answers．

    At the beginning of the study，the children did not differ in measures of language development，but at the end of one month，the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of expression and vocabulary．Nine months later，the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group．
