enough sleep may cause people to gain weight. researchers say a lack of sleep can produce hormonal(激素的) changes that increase feelings of hunger.in one study, researchers in the united states examined information on more than 1000 people. the people had高考#资￥源%网 taken part in a long-term study of sleep disorders. some people slept less than five hours a night. they had 15 percent higher blood levels of a hormone called ghrelin than people who slept eight hours. and they had 15 percent less of the hormone leptin. experts say ghrelin helps make people feel hungry; leptin makes you feel full.the scientists say these hormonal changes may be a cause of obesity in western societies. they note the combination that sleep limitation is common and food is widely available.the results were not affected by how much people exercised. people who are awake longer have more time to burn energy. but the researchers say loss of sleep may increase hunger especially for high-calorie foods, so people gain weight. it seems that, for survival, the body may be designed to store more fat during times with less sleep.researchers from stanford university in california and the university of wisconsin did the study. they found that the best amount of sleep for weight control is 7.7 hours a night. the public library of science published the findings in its journal medicine . internet users can read the full study, free of charge, at plos. org.56not enough sleep can cause obesity by _.a. burning more of your energyb. making you want to eat more food c. keeping you from doing exercised. helping you feel great without food57.which would be a point supported by the reported findings?a. the more you sleep, the farther away you are from obesity.b. those who dont sleep at all are the most likely to put on weight.c. sleeping contributes more to obesity than eating.d. its not wise to use sleep hours for exercise.58.when you sleep 7.7 hours a night, you will _ .a. have your ghrelin level rise and leptin level dropb. have your leptin level rise and ghrelin level dropc. have your ghretin and leptin levels properly balancedd. have your hunger increase and your weight decrease 59.the writer wrote this passage to _ .a. make a news report b. offer a piece of medical advicec. make an advertis高考#资￥源%网ement d. keep a record of the old findings60. you can read the findings_.a. only on the internet b. only in medicinec. both on the internet and in medicined. neither on the internet nor in medicinebpeople seem to always love themselves. when put to a test, we are willing to go an extra mile for our friends. in an experiment, people were asked to squat (深蹲) against a wall, which became increasingly painful with time. they were told to keep squatting for as long as they could, and paid 1 dollar for every second. people performed the exercise five times, once for themselves and four times for their friends or partners. the result paints a more selfless picture of society than we might expect these days. of the 17 people, ten squatted longer for their friends or partners. some people squatted twice as long for their closest friends as for themselves. dr freya harrison said, i think that if our results stand in general and people really do go the extra mile for close friends, it points to the importance of cooperation in our species. it suggests that keeping social relationships and working together have been important roles in the success of humans as a species. a study found people were unwilling to squat any longer for their brothers or sisters than for themselves. maybe thats because friends are a lot more important in deciding social benefits than brothers and sisters， dr harrison said. perhaps we can depend on help from parents or brothers and sisters because people almost have no reason for helping someone who has the same genes (基因) as them. it could be that the role of a brother or a sister doesnt need working on, because family members have genes in common already. 61. what can we learn from the passage? a. it isnt hard for people to squat for a long time.b. people don t like to take part in this kind of experiment. c. the result of the experiment is better than expected. d. in order to get money, people squat as long as possible for themselves. 62. from the experiment, we can know . a. the importance of working togetherb. people are unwilling to help strangers c. friends can become a great help to us in the future d. people are willing to do more for friends than for themselves 63. what works as a key role in the success of humans as a species? a. developing personal skill and technology. b. keeping social relationships and cooperation. c. getting enough daily goods and supplies. d. having a happy family as well as a career. 64. in harrisons opinion, _.a. friends can influence our social benefits much more b. friends are true friends for ever c. family members offer more to us than friends d. people are selfish 65. what is the best tittle for the passage?a. why we should make friends. b. family is important to people. c. friends are more important than family. d. why well go an extra mile for our friends.cthe iphone, the ipad, each of apples products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” and many other brands are following suit. the bbcs iplayer which allows web users to watch tv programs on the internet adopted the title in 2008. a lovely bear popular in the us and uk that plays music and video is called “iteddy”. a slimmed-down version of londons independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.in general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use. most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of independents “i”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name. but its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? according to tony thorne, head of the language center at kings college, london, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. when apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means internet, information, individual or interactive, thorne told bbc magazines. “even when apple created the ipod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition,” he says. “however, thanks to apple, the term is now associated with portability.” adds thorne.clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the western world is centered on the individual. each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason. along with “google” and “blog”, readers of bbc magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade. but as history shows, people grow tired of fads. from the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. however, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared. 66. people use iplayer to _.a. listen to music b. make a call c. watch tv programs online d. read newspapers67. we can infer that the independents “i” is aimed at _. a. young readers b. old readers c. fashionable women d. engineers68. the underlined word “ambiguous” means “_”.a. popular b. uncertain c. definite d. unique69. nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are _. a. portable b. environmentally friendly c. advanced d. recyclable70. the writer suggests that _.a. “i” products are often of high qualityb. iteddy is alive bearc. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsd. the popularity of “i” products may not last long dan allowance(零花钱) is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions. children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.how large an allowance is suitable? experts say there is not right amount. actual amounts differ from place to place, and from family to family.to set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget(预算).allow for entertainment costs such as movies and snacks. next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. “if you make the child responsible for these ills,” says josephine swanson, a consumer specialist, “he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.”finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. if you can, keep your childs allowance in line with that of his friends. a child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers can feel left out.it can be hard, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. when brooke stephens was ten and growing up in jacksonville, her mother gave her $ 5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch. “if you lose your money,”
