baddb)阅读理解【1】blind imitation (模仿)is self-destruction. to those who do not recognize their unique worth. imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength. imitation is unacceptable.in the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. when i first learned to cook, i used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. but soon i grew bored. why follow someone elses way of cooking when i could create my own? imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.in daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. if, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. if you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.in the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. those stars look great on screen. but when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. if you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. they touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. the world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. creative people have an endless resource of ideas. the problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.syudy your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. then you can say,” i stand on the shoulders of my ancestors” tragedies and tory, and know that they are cheering on.( ) 1.imitation proves useful when you .a. know you are unique b. lose the balance of lifec. begin to learn something new d. get tired of routine practice( ) 2. to avoid the bad result of imitation, we should_.a. forget daily fear and pain b. choose the right examplec. ask others for decisions d. stay away from stars( ) 3.acording to the author. the world moves on because of those who are .a. desperate to intruence others with their knowledge b. ready to turn their original ideas into realityc. eager to discover what their ancestors didd. willing to accept others ideas( ) 4.the trouble a creator faces is .a. the lack of strong motivation b. the absence of practical ideas c. how to search for more materials d. how to use

treat a form of depression in people who get too little morning sun. but too much light at other time may actually cause such mood disorders. longlasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals.the new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says richard stevens of the university of connecticut health centre. mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetesthat can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.in the new study, tracy bedrosian and randy nelson of ohio state university exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. for the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks，“a sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed，” bedrosian says.in a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of “behavioural despair”，10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness. all symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal lightdark cycle, the researchers report. the scientists also could quash the behavioural symptoms by injecting (注射)the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression. this finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but cant easily detect molecular underpinnings (分子结构)as animal studies can，says george brainard of thomas jefferson university. the new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be “an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behaviour”1after being exposed to continuous nighttime light，the mice _achanged their preferencesbescaped from the water more eagerlycremained active as beforedsh
