On the contrary, lack of adequate rest damages brain function, so much so that sleep experts have been able to 46 drops in IQ in patients who are 47 of sleep.

Abbreviations such as GDP (gross domestic product), WTO (World Trade Organization) and CPI (consumer price index) will also be substituted with their Chinese pronunciations, it said.The countrys top watchdog on television and radio, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, refused to comment.The move comes after a growing number of national legislators and political advisors called for preventive measures to preserve the purity of the Chinese language.If we dont pay attention and dont take measures to stop mixing Chinese with English, the Chinese language wont remain pure in a couple of years, said Huang Youyi, editor-in-chief of the China International Publishing Group and secretary-general of the Translators Association of China.In the long run, Chinese will lose its role as an independent linguistic system for passing on information and expressing human feelings, he told China Daily in an earlier interview.According to his proposal, all documents and speeches of top government officials should be written in pure Chinese, without the use of English abbreviations such as GDP, WTO or CPI.His proposal also noted that a law or regulation should be introduced to serve as a guideline for the use of foreign words in domestic publications, and that a national translation committee should be set up to translate foreign names and technical terms, which can then be published on a website.The restricted use of English abbreviations on Chinese television programs has provoked a debate among scholars.It makes no sense to introduce a regulation to prevent the use of English in the Chinese language in the face of globalization, Liu Yaoying, a professor at the Communication University of China, said on Tuesday. It is cultural conservatism.If Western countries can accept some Chinglish words, why cant the Chinese language be mixed with English?The Singaporean newspaper New Straits Times and Londons Daily Telegraph both used Chinese Pinyin Lianghui in their reports about the annual meeting of the National Peoples Congress and the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference, rather than using English to paraphrase the proceedings.Governments of some Western countries have also attempted to preserve the purity of their languages.For example, France is a country known for its linguistic pride. Its government outlaws advertising in English and mandates a 40 percent quota of French songs on the radio, according to a Christian Science Monitor report.56. Who issued the ban on English abbreviation? A. China Central Television. B. Beijing Television. C. an authority department. D. a number of national political advisors.57. The purpose for which was the ban proposed was _. A. to preserve the purity of the Chinese language B. to improve our international communication C. to standardize the functioning of radio and TV stations D. to prevent foreign languages interfere with teach of Chinese in schools58. By calling the regulation “cultural conservatism”, Mr Liu Yaoying meant to show his _ for the move. A. approval B. criticism C. appreciation D. disappointment59. The most likely opinion of the writer of this news report tends to be _ towards the newly introduced regulation.A. critical B. positive C. negative D. neutralBThe Girl Who Fell From the SkyFrom its opening lines “ You my lucky piece, Grandma says. Her hand is wrapped around mine” Heidi W. Durrow pulls us into her first novel, a moving story encircling us as firmly as that protective grandmotherly grip. When we meet Rachel Morse, the daughter of an African-American GI and a Danish woman, she is just moving into the Portland, Oregon., home of her strong-minded paternal grandmother and her warm, classy Aunt Loretta. We soon learn that Rachel has survived a fall from a nine-story apartment building in which her mother, brother, and baby sister all died. Three months earlier, Rachels mother had left her alcoholic husband in Germany, following her “orange-haired” lover to Chicago. But Nella hadnt been prepared for boyfriends drinking and racism, or for the looks and questions she gets as the mother of three brown children. Rachels “new-girl feeling” in her grandmothers home goes beyond her recent tragedy. Having grown up with a Scandinavian mother in the more colorblind society of an overseas Army base, this is her first time in a mostly black community. Her light-brown skin, “fuzzy” hair, and blue eyes raise questions about her racial identity that are entirely new and puzzling to her. Starting sixth grade in her new school, Rachel notes, “There are fifteen black people in the class and seven white people. And theres me. Theres another girl who sits in the back. Her name is Carmen LaGuardia, and she has hair like mine, my same color skin, and she counts as black. I dont understand how, but she seems to know.” Several years later, in high school, her status remains uncertain. “They call me an Oreo. I dont want to be white. Sometimes I want to go back to being what I was. I want to be nothing.”Winner of the Bellwether Prize, created by Barbara Kingsolver to celebrate fiction that addresses issues of social injustice, “The Girl Who Fell From the Sky” comes at a time when bi-racial and multicultural identity so markedly represented by President Obama is especially topical. But set in the 1980s and focusing on one unusually sympathetic girl overcoming family tragedy and feeling her way through racial tensions, Durrows novel surpasses topicality. Like Rachel, Durrow is the light-brown-skinned, blue-eyed daughter of a Danish mother and an African-American father enlisted in the Air Force. With degrees from Stanford, Columbia Journalism School, and Yale Law School, its no wonder she gives her heroine discipline and brains. Rachels life, however, is clearly not Durrows. No, theres alcohol and drug addiction; deaths by fire, trauma, and infection. There are mothers who lose their children, and a saintly drug counselor who loses his beloved girl-friend. Through it all, what makes Durrows novel soar is her masterful sense of voice, her assured, delicate handling of complex racial issues and her heart. After hearing the blues music for the first time, Rachel feels what her mother called hyggeligt “something like comfort and home and love all rolled into one.” She wonders what might have happened if her mother had known about such soulful music, “that sometimes theres a way to take the sadness and turn it into a beautiful song.” This, of course, is precisely what Durrow has done in this powerful book: taken sadness and turned it into a beautiful song. 60. What should be the direct cause of Rachel coming to Portland, Oregon? A. Her mother left her alcoholic father. B. A deadly tragedy happened to her family. C. Her grandmother wants her to come and stay with her. D. There was too much racism where she used to live with her mother.61. Durrows life is different from Rachels in that _. A. Durrow has to struggle through her life, depending on herself. B. Durrow is troubled in her life by racism, living in a poor neighborhood. C. Durrow has come through life much easier, with a better family background. D. Theres alcohol and drug addiction in Durrows suffering-laden neighborhood.62. Why does the writer of the book review mention President Obama in this writing? A. To show the progress in Americas black community. B. To highlight the racial harmony in the United States. C. To indicate Obamas
