　　Every fall, like clockwork, Linda Krentz of Beaverton, Oregon, felt her brain go on strike．“I just couldn’t get going in the morning,” she says．“I’d get depressed and gain 10 pounds every winter and lose them again in the spring．” Then she read about seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression that occurs in fall and winter, and she saw the light literally．Every morning now she turns on a specially constructed light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking it’s still enjoying those long summer days．It seems to work．

　　Krentz is not alone．Scientists estimate that 10 million Americans suffer from seasonal depression and 25 million more develop milder versions．But there’s never been definitive proof that treatment with very bright lights makes a difference．After all, it’s hard to do a double-blind test when the subjects can see for themselves whether or not the light is on．That’s why nobody has ever separated the real effects of light therapy from placebo(安慰剂)effects．

　　Until now, in three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light therapy works better than a placebo but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning than in the evening．In two of the groups, the placebo problem was resolved by telling patients they were comparing light boxes to a new anti-depressant device that gives off negatively charged ions(离子)．The third used the timing of light therapy as the control．

　　Why does light therapy work? No one really knows．“Our research suggests it has something to do with shifting the body’s internal clock,” says psychiatrist Dr．Lewey．The body is programmed to start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter．But why such subtle shifts make some people depressed and not others is a mystery．

　　That hasn’t stopped thousands of winter depressives from trying to heal themselves．Light boxes for that purpose are available without a doctor’s prescription．That bothers psychologist Michael Terman of Columbia University．He is worried that the boxes may be tried by patients who suffer from mental illness that can’t be treated with light．Terman has developed a questionnaire to help determine whether expert care is needed．

　　In any event, you should choose a reputable manufacturer．Whatever product you use should give off only visible light, because ultraviolet light damages the eyes．If you are photosensitive(对光敏感的), you may develop a rash．Otherwise, the main drawback is having to sit in front of the light for 30 to 60 minutes in the morning．That’s an inconvenience many winter depressives can live with．

(1)

What is the probable cause of Krentz’s problem?
[　　]
A．	An unexpected gain in body weight．
B．	Unexplained impairment of her nervous system．
C．	Weakening of her eyesight with the setting in of winter．
D．	Poor adjustment of her body clock to seasonal changes．

(2)

What is the CURRENT view concerning the treatment of seasonal depression with bright lights?
[　　]
A．	Its effect remains to be seen．
B．	It serves as a kind of placebo．
C．	It proves to be an effective therapy．
D．	It hardly produces any effects．

(3)

What is psychologist Michael Terman’s major concern?
[　　]
A．	Winter depressives will be addicted to using light boxes．
B．	No mental patients would bother to consult psychiatrists．
C．	Bad light boxes will give off harmful ultraviolet lights．
D．	Light therapy could be misused by certain mental patients．

(4)

Which of the following statements is TRUE?
[　　]
A．	Winter depressives prefer light therapy in spite of its inconvenience．
B．	Light therapy increases the patient’s photosensitivity．
C．	Eye damage is a side effect of light therapy．
D．	Light boxes can be programmed to correspond to shifts in the body clock．

Keeping good records

Everything’s easier if you’re organized.

“Running a house is a lot like running a business,” says Stephanie Denton, an expert organize r in Cincinnati. Ohio. To get a successful control of organizing papers, bills, and other materials, Denton suggests the following tips:

Create a place in which you can always do your paperwork. This is perhaps the most important point of a successful system. If you can’t devote an entire desk to the task ,at least buy a file cart to store active paperwork and a two drawer file cabinet（橱柜）for family records. Store the rolling file cart wherever it is most convenient and comfortable to do your work, whether that is the kitchen, office, or family room.

When in doubt, throw it out. The first step to operating a workable filing system is to remove paper you don’t use, don’t need, or that you could easily access again elsewhere. Throw out old lists, and all of the mailings or offerings you’ll never have a chance to use or even read.

Set aside two days a month to pay bills. If a monthly due date doesn’t fit into your cycle, call up the bank or company that you owe money to and suggest a more convenient date. Keep two folders at front of your system for present bills (one to each bill-paying day) and file all incoming bills. Keep a list in the front of each folder of what needs to be paid in case the bill never arrives or gets misplaced.

Think of your filing system not as a rigid tool, but as a living, breathing system that can vary to fit your changing needs. A good filing system is both mentally and physically adaptable. Everyone’s needs are different, says Denton, but when designing a filing system, ask yourself: “Where would I look for this?” Create main headings for your filing system, such as Investments(投资), Taxes, Children, and so on, and file separate folders under the main headings. Never fill your files with too many things.

1．Which of the following tips does authors give?

A．Removing some papers unless you are in doubt.

B．Creating main headings for each paper.

C．Keeping all incoming bills in a folder.

D．Buying a file cart for storing all files.

2．In the passage, the author clearly wants to help people .

A．try to make file cabinets tidy and clean

B．carry out an effective filing system

C．know the tips of running their business

D．learn to deal with the materials successfully

3．The underlined word in the last paragraph means .

A．Fixed B．Active C．Special D．Useless

4．Among the following main headings, you will probably fine “Kindergarten records” under .

A．Investments. B．Taxes. C．Children. D．Folders.
