21、Regularly staying late at the office significantly increases the risk of having a stroke or heart attack, researchers have found, working just an hour extra each day pushes up stroke risk by 10 per cent, according to a huge review of working patterns. And people who work an extra three hours a day--or 55 hours a week--are 33 per cent more likely to have a stroke, the scientists found.
The research, published in the Lancet medical journal, is based on health records of more than 500, 000 people across Europe, the US and Australia.
Scientists led by University College London warned that people who work longer hours tend to do less exercise, sit at a computer for hours at a time and drink more than people with a better work-life balance. Repeated stress may also be to blame for greater health problems, the scientists think.
They looked at the combined result of 17 previous studies, in which 529, 000 people were tracked over an average of seven years.
Experts stressed that the study had only found a link between hours worked and heart problems---it had not proved what had actually caused each death. But they warned people to take note of the findings.
Dr Tim Chico, consultant cardiologist at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, said “For many people, reducing their working hours would be difficult or impossible, and this study does not show that it would reduce the risk of stroke." Most of us could reduce the amount of time we spend sitting down, increase our physical activity and improve our diet while working and this might be more important the more time we spend at work.
【1】Which areas are involved in the research?
A. The US, Australia and Russia.
B. Japan, Britain and China.
C. China, Russia and Japan.
D. Europe, the US and Australia.
【2】Which factor is NOT the cause of the higher risk of health problems?
A. Excessive drinking. B. A healthy diet.
C. Repeated stress. D. Lack of exercise
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A. People who work longer are less likely to suffer a stroke.
B. All the deaths are caused by working long hours.
C. The research was based on the tracking of over 500, 000 people.
D. Reduced working hours will surely decrease the risk of stroke.
【4】Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. A news report.
B. A science magazine.
C. A psychological journal.
D. A hospital introduction.
22、How to Deal with Depression
You are all familiar with mood swings, the dark feelings of sadness and disappointment that attack you at times. Now, why does depression take hold of your mind? It could be that you feel let down in life. It could be your dissatisfaction with people or the situations around you. These emotions are natural and should pass with time. The key is to cross over and grow from these experiences. 【1】
●【2】
If you’re dealing with failure, reflect why things went wrong. Change your approach and take another look at things. Remove yourself from the situation and take an outsider’s perspective. Think about your needs that are always fulfilled in life and be thankful for that.
● Take a break and relax.
Stop. Breathe. Relax. Sometime you need to take a break and explore something else. If a certain thing has frustrated you, take a weekend off and go on a trip with friends. 【3】
● Bear in mind not everything can be changed.
【4】 And they are wise enough to move on. American poet Maya Angelou once said, ‘If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.’
● Stay away from things that disturb you.
When it comes to relationships, always look at things that work for you. 【5】 Stay away from others who pull into negativity.
A.Take another look at your problem.
B.Here are some ways to deal with it.
C.Understand, accept and be thankful.
D.This will give you the energy to start again.
E.You will find having a friend is really a blessing.
F.Keep in touch with those who understand and support you.
G.People with a positive attitude know certain things can’t be changed.
23、 There are as many different types of sleeper as there are animal varieties on the planet. There are dozers, dreamers, nappers and hardcore dead-to-the-worlders.
Dolphins
Dolphins face a bit of a problem as they spend their whole lives in the water, but as mammals they need to breathe oxygen to survive. How do they juggle this when unconscious? Dolphins shut down half of their brain, which rests, while the other half is alert and looking out for any potential dangers. As they do this, the dolphin will lie on the surface of the water in a behaviour known as “logging”.
Elephants
Elephants tend to nod off for a few minutes at a time throughout the day. Elephants only manage about two hours of sleep per day, and that’s not even a concentrated block of shuteye. They tend to nod off for a few minutes at a time throughout the day. Possibly because of this, most of their sleeping is done standing up, with just the occasional recumbent sleep.
Spiders
Of course spiders have to be awkward. Even though animals sleep in a vast array of different ways, all of them, even bacteria, follow a 24 hour cycle, known as a circadian rhythm that is dictated by the rotation of the Earth. But scientists have discovered that certain types of orb-weaving spiders simply don’t bother with this. Their body clocks follow a 17, 18 or 19 hour cycle. Scientists aren’t exactly sure how the spider can even exist with this completely different body clock.
Koalas
One problem with trying to work out a creature’s sleeping habits is the difficulty of identifying what is actual sleep. It’s easier to study captive animals, but they can behave in a completely different manner to their cousins in the wild. Koalas studied in zoos were thought to sleep for up to 22 hours a day, but a more detailed study, looking at animals in the wild too, revealed that they in fact sleep for around 14 hours a day plus a healthy amount of resting on top of that. Their diet of eucalyptus leaves takes a lot of time and energy to digest.
Frogs
Frogs are incredible. They have managed to master practically every environment on the planet, no matter how hot or how cold. They not only use hibernation in winter as a sleep strategy, they also engage in something called estivation, where they reach a dormant state during the summer months to avoid overly hot or dry conditions. Despite all this knowledge, scientists aren’t sure exactly how frogs sleep during the months when they are active.
【1】Which animal sleeps the longest hours a day according to the passage?
A．The dolphin.
B．The koala.
C．The spider.
D．The elephant.
【2】What is still confusing to scientists?
A．How they can identify what is actual sleep.
B．How dolphins breathe oxygen when sleeping.
C．How spiders can survive a different body clock.
D．How frogs sleep when they are not hibernating or estivating.
【3】What is the passage mainly about?
A．Why animals sleep differently.
B．What animals do while sleeping.
C．The extraordinary ways that animals sleep.
D．The mystery about different types of sleeper.
24、 Healthy eating is not just what you eat, but how you eat. Here are some tips for you:
Eat with others whenever possible. Eating with other people has numerous benefits, especially for children. 【1】 Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.
Take time to chew your food and enjoy mealtimes. 【2】 We tend to rush through our meals, forgetting to enjoy the flavor and feel the taste of what is in our mouths.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry, or have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty instead of hungry. 【3】 It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly.
【4】 A healthy breakfast can jumpstart your metabolism( 新陈代谢), and eating small, healthy meals throughout the day(rather than the standard three large meals)keeps your energy up and your metabolism going.
Avoid eating at night. 【5】 And then don’t eat for 12-14 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you’re most active and giving your digestive(消化的)system a long break each day may help to keep fit.
A. Drink plenty of water.
B. Try to have dinner earlier. C. Be careful when eating out.
D. Eat your food slowly, tasting every bite.
E. During a meal, stop eating before you feel full.
F. It allows you to follow others’ healthy eating habits.
G. Eat breakfast, and eat smaller meals throughout the day.
