The average British people get six-and-a-half hours sleep a night, according to the Sleep Council. It has been known for some time that the amount of sleep people get has,【C1】______declined over the years. But【C2】______the average amount of sleep we are getting has fallen, rates of obesity and diabetes have soared. Could the two be connected? We wanted to see what the【C3】______would be of increasing average sleep by just one hour. So we asked seven volunteers, who【C4】______sleep anywhere between six and nine hours, to be【C5】______at the University of Surreys Sleep Research Centre. The volunteers were randomly【C6】______to two groups. One group was asked to sleep for six-and-a-half hours a night, the other got seven-and-a-half hours. After a week the researchers took blood tests and the volunteers were asked to switch sleep【C7】______. The group that had been sleeping six-and-a-half hours got an【C8】______hour, the other group slept an hour less. Computer tests designed to measure brain wave activity【C9】______that most of them struggled with mental agility tasks when they had less sleep, but the most interesting results came from the blood tests that were【C10】______. Dr Simon Archer and his team at Surrey University were【C11】______interested in looking at the genes that were switched on or off in our volunteers【C12】______changes in the amount that we had made them sleep. 'We found that【C13】______there were around 500 genes that were affected,' Archer【C14】______. 'Some which were going up, and some which were going down.' What they discovered is that when the volunteers【C15】______back from seven-and-a-half to six-and-a-half hours sleep a night, genes that are【C16】______with processes like immune response and response to stress became more【C17】______The team also saw increase in the activity of genes related to diabetes and risk of cancer. The【C18】______happened when the volunteers added an hour of sleep. So the clear【C19】______from this experiment was that if you are getting less than seven hours sleep a night and can alter your sleep habits, even one hour more, it could make you【C20】______.

未分类题When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin returned from the moon, their cargo included nearly fifty pounds of rock and soil, which were packed in an aluminum box with seals designed to maintain the lunar surfaces low-pressure environment. But back at Johnson Space Center, in Houston, scientists discovered that the seals had been【C1】______—by moon dust. Lunar dust is fine, like a powder,【C2】______it cuts like glass. Its formed when shooting stars【C3】______on the moons surface, heating its rocks and dirt and reducing them to fine particles. Since theres no wind or water to smooth【C4】______edges, the tiny grains are sharp and uneven, and【C5】______nearly everything. 'The intruding【C6】______of lunar dust represents a more challenging engineering design issue, as well as a【C7】______issue for settlers, than does radiation,' wrote Harrison Schmitt, an Apollo 17 astronaut, in his 2006 book, 'Return to the Moon.' The dust damaged space-suits and ate away layers of moon boots. Over the【C8】______of six Apollo missions, not one rock box【C9】______its vacuum seal. Dust followed the astronauts back into their ships, too. According to Schmitt, it smelled like gunpowder and made breathing【C10】______. No one knows precisely what the extremely small particles do to human lungs. The dust not only【C11】______the moons surface, but floats up to sixty miles【C12】______it—as an outer part of its atmosphere, where particles【C13】______the moon by gravity, but are so thin that they【C14】______collide. In the nineteen-sixties, Surveyor probes filmed a glowing cloud floating just above the lunar surface during sunrise. Later, Apollo 17 astronaut Gene Cernan, while orbiting the moon, recorded a【C15】______phenomenon at the sharp line where lunar day meets night. Cernan【C16】______a series of pictures illustrating the changing【C17】______; streams of particles popped【C18】______the ground and hovered, and the resulting cloud came into sharper focus as the astronauts orbiter approached daylight. Since theres no wind to form. and【C19】______the clouds, their origin is something of a mystery. Its【C20】______that theyre made of dust, but no one fully understands how or why they do their thing.【C1】A．destroyedB．stainedC．changedD．consolidated

未分类题The happier you are, the better, right? Not necessarily. Studies show that there is a darker side to feeling good and that the【C1】______of happiness can sometimes make you less happy. Too much cheerfulness can make you deceivable, less successful—and thats only the tip of the iceberg. Happiness does have【C2】______. It can protect us from stroke and from the common cold, makes us more【C3】______to pain and even【C4】______our lives. Yet, June Gruber, a psychologist warns that its important to experience positive moods in moderation. She compares happiness to food:【C5】______necessary and beneficial, too much food can cause problems;【C6】______, happiness can lead to bad outcomes. 'Research indicates that very high levels of positive feelings【C7】______risk-taking behaviors, excess alcohol and drug consumption, overeating, and may lead us to【C8】______threats,' she says. How else can excessive joy, or having lots of positive emotions and a relative absence of【C9】______ones, hurt you? First, it may【C10】______your career prospects. Psychologist Edward Diener, known for his happiness research, and his colleagues analyzed a variety of studies, and discovered that those who early in their lives reported the highest life【C11】______years later reported lower income than those who felt slightly less【C12】______when young. Whats more, they【C13】______school earlier. Included in the studies was one【C14】______a group of American college freshmen who in 1976 claimed to be very cheerful. Surveyed again when they were in their late 30s, they earned, on average, almost $3,500 a year less than their slightly less cheerful【C15】______. Why? Diener suggests that people who dont experience much sadness or anxiety are【C16】______dissatisfied with their jobs and therefore feel less pressure to get more education or change careers. Psychologists point out that emotions are【C17】______: They make us change behavior. to help us【C18】______. Anger prepares us to fight; fear helps us flee. But what about sadness? Studies show that when we are sad, we think in a more systematic manner. Sad people are attentive【C19】______details and externally oriented, while happy people【C20】______make snap judgments that may reflect racial or sex stereotyping.【C1】A．absenceB．pursuitC．claimD．illusion

未分类题Remember books? They were those pieces of paper with words printed on them【C1】______in between two, sometimes,【C2】______covers. People bought them, and people borrowed them, but,【C3】______people used to read them. And then came screens. Six years into the【C4】______rise of mobile, half of American adults own a smartphone; over a third owns a tablet. Now, Im joking about the end of books, but its easy and tempting to【C5】______that screens will continue their【C6】______on words and paper-bound books will be at the【C7】______of vanishing. But if you take a hard look at the data, its not the end of print. Not by a long shot. 【C8】______years, there hasnt been a more【C9】______technology for capturing the hopes and the fears of new parents than the tablet. Touchscreens are so easy to【C10】______that babies can use them and learn at younger ages than we thought possible—or babies can use them and use them and use them and lose out on other skills. We just dont know what this does【C11】______young brains. All we know is were【C12】______a generation that sometimes finds magazines more【C13】______than iPads. Parents, of course, cant not know. Or, if they really cant, then they dont want to take any【C14】______. And thats why its not at all【C15】______that the vast, vast【C16】______of parents prefer reading printed books to their young children. Pew Research found that 94 percent of parents think its important to read print books to their children. Print【C17】______isnt going away soon.【C18】______more people prefer e-readers, some would still rather read print. Books will become 'luxuries'. But, of course, the real test will come in the next few years when we see what kids who have been using tablets since before they could walk prefer to read. Print is in a long, slow【C19】______that feels like a death spiral, but isnt quite so. For now, at least, the end of print is a long way off, even if kids these days cant【C20】______how to turn the page.【C1】A．sealedB．containedC．packedD．installed
