hundreds of deaths.american researchers have found that variations in a single gene can be used to predict if someone is likely to take their own life. researchers at john hopkins university, in baltimore, maryland, found that the gene ska2 stopped functioning correctly in people at risk of suicide. the ska2 gene is found in the prefrontal cortex (前额皮层)of the brain, and is involved in preventing negative thoughts and controlling abnormal behavior. if there isnt enough ska2, or it is changed in some way, the body cannot control levels of cortisol (皮质醇). previous research has shown that people who attempt suicide or who take their own lives have large amounts of cortisol in their systems. a test could allow doctors or psychologists to place patients on “suicide watch” and disable their access to drugs or equipment which they could use to end their own life.the research was reported in the american journal of psychology. “we need to study this in a larger sample but we believe that we might be able to monitor the blood to identify those at risk of suicide. after all, suicide is a major preventable public health problem, but we have been stymied in our prevention efforts because we have no steady way to predict those who are at increased risk of killing themselves,” says study leader dr zachary kaminsky, an assistant professor of psychological and behavioral sciences. “with a test like ours, we may be able to cut down suicide rates by identifying those people and intervening early enough to head off a catastrophe.”the blood test managed to predict those with the most severe risk of suicide with 90 per cent accuracy. they could also spot if someone had already attempted suicide with 96 per cent accuracy, simply by looking at the levels of ska2.55. whats the purpose of the blood test?a. to predict peoples characters. b. to help cure those who lack ska2.c. to see whether people get infected by illness. d. to predict whether someone may attempt suicide.56. according to the text, those who attempt suicide _ .a. have too much ska2 b. have variations in the gene ska2c. have fewer abnormal behaviors than others d. have fewer amounts of cortisol in their systems57. the underlined word “stymied” in paragraph 3 probably means “_”.a. taken away b. held back c. cheered up d. turned down58. what is the authors attitude towards the blood test research?a. objective. b. passive. c. cautious. d. doubtful.cforget milky drinks, hot water bottles or curling up with a good book. the real secret to a good nights sleep may be where you sit at work.researchers found that workers forced to toil in windowless rooms had a poorer quality of life and more erratic (不稳定的)sleep patterns than those with access to daylight. the findings, published in the journal of clinical sleep medicine, suggest better designed offices could improve the physical and mental health of workers. “we suggest that architectural design of office environments should place more emphasis on sufficient daylight exposure for workers in order to promote health and well-being,” said dr ivy cheung of the department of neurology, northwestern university, chicago. “office workers with more light exposure at the work place also tended to have better sleep quality, more physical activity and a better quality of life.”one in three britons suffers from poor sleep, with stress，computers and taking work home often blamed for the lack of quality sleep. however, the cost of all those sleepless nights is more than just bad moods and a lack of focus. regular poor sleep raises the risk of serious medical conditions like obesity (肥胖), heart and diabetes and can even shorten life expectancy.researchers recruited 49 office employees, just over half of whom spent the day in mostly windowless environments, while the rest enjoyed frequent exposure to daylight through windows. each one was quizzed on sleeping patterns, physical activity and general lifestyle. the results showed those with the most work-time light exposure slept an average of 46 minutes more per night than their light-deprived colleagues. they also scored better on a sleep quality basis and reported fewer night-time disturbances. scientists also found they were more likely to exercise, having got a good nights sleep.independent sleep expert dr neil stanley said the body needs exposure to daylight to keep its sleeping patterns on track. “light is essentially the thing that tells our bodies to be awake and dark tells them to go to sleep. the problem with office lighting is that it is not made up of blue light , which is the wavelength of light you get from the sun and which controls your body clock. so you could have a very well lit office but it does not have the same effect because its artificial and does not contain blue light.”59. what is the text mainly about?a. poor sleep is harmful for health. b. more and more people have poor sleep.c. people should blame the office for their poor sleep.d. having a very well lit office is a good way to improve sleep quality.60. according to paragraph 3, people with poor sleep tend to blame the following excepta. stress b. poor health c. computers d.extra work61. according to the text, we can infer that if people sleep well, they will _ .a. have the same sleep pattern b. enjoy less sunlightc. be more likely to do exercises d. have more friends62. where does this text probably come from?a. a health report b.a personal interview. c. a magazine review. d.a workplace investigation.dthe honorable 20-volume oxford english dictionary contains about 700,000 words, but the editors recently realized they were missing one: doh!its an idiom used by the cartoon character homer simpson to show regret and is one of some 250 entries being added today to the dictionary, which is widely considered the leading dictionary on the english language.“doh” is now defined as “expressing frustration at the realization that things have turned out badly or not as planned, or that one has just said or done something foolish,” according to the new entry in the dictionary.the simpsons only popularized the term; it was actually used extensively in the 1950s, the oed found. although it is often spelled “doh”, the dictionary chose to leave out the apostrophe (撇号).other newcomers to the dictionary include “cheesy”, which means second-rate or inferior; “six-pack”, meaning strong abdominal muscles (腹肌), and “bollywood”, which refers to the hindi film industry based in bombay, india.“well have terms from various fields or sources,” says jesse sheidlower, who is head of the project for north america.the oeds staff of 50 editors has been
