22、Getting enough sleep on a regular basis is one important way to protect the health of your heart. Poor sleep is associated with a range of cardiovascular(心血管的) problems, including high blood pressure, heart attack, and heart failure. Both men and women are at increased risk for these conditions. But we continue to learn that when it comes to health problems associated with sleep, the particular risks to men and women are not always the same. A new study suggests that for women who already have heart disease, poor sleep may be particularly dangerous to their heart health.
Research indicates that poor-quality sleep—and waking too early in particular—is associated with increased inflammation(炎症) among women with heart disease. There was no similar association found for men, suggesting that women with heart disease and sleep problems may be at particular risk for inflammation that can be damaging to the heart.
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco investigated the relationship between sleep quality and inflammation linked to coronary(冠状的) heart disease. They also sought information about how an association between sleep and inflammation might differ between men and women. Their investigation included 980 men and women at first, and 626 completed the 5-year study. All of those included were suffering for coronary heart disease. The average age of men in the study was 66. Women were slightly younger, with an average age of 64. Researchers measured sleep quality by asking participants to rate their sleep over the previous month. They also asked for reports of some of the most common sleep problems, including difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, waking frequently throughout the night, and waking too early in the morning.
After 5 years, researchers repeated tests for inflammation and once again sought reports on sleep quality and sleep problems. When they analyzed data for both men and women together, researchers found no links between inflammations and sleep quality. However, when they analyzed data taking gender(性别) into account, researchers found a relationship between inflammation and sleep existed for women, but not for men.
【1】When a person suffers from sleep disorder _______.
A. he/she is sure to have cardiovascular problems
B. he/she may be in a state of poor health
C. he/she must be in danger of heart disease
D. he/she might get on poorly with others
【2】What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?
A. To stress how to have a good sleep in daily life.
B. To show a good sleep is more important to women.
C. To describe different kinds of sleep problems.
D. To encourage readers to sleep more.
【3】The researchers did the study _______.
A. to find a cure for women with heart disease
B. to know what contributes to inflammation

A. Poor Sleep Results in Problems Only for Adults
B. Lack of Sleep Can Lead to Much Inflammation
C. Sleep Loss Is to Increase Anxiety Disorders
D. Women’s Sleep Habits May Affect Heart Health
23、Experts praise the virtues of social connectivity. It’s linked to better resistance to stress and even longer life. 【1】 Research suggests that loneliness increases the risk of heart disease, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure and even early death. 【2】 Doing things by yourself allows you to enjoy activities you love at your own pace and in your own way. Through solitary (独处) pursuits, you learn more about yourself and reflect on your experiences.
【3】 It is an important part of self-development. It allows you to get to know yourself. When you are surrounded by other, you might set your own ideas and passions aside in order to meet the wants and needs of your friends and family. Taking time on your own gives you a critical opportunity to make creative choices and focus your attention without worrying about what other people are thinking.
【4】 But research has found that people are often better at solving difficult problems when they work on their own. Where group efforts are often about achieving consensus (一致的意见) and fitting in with the crowd, solo work encourages creativity without added social pressure.
Relationships are often strongest when each person takes time to take care of themselves. Even when it comes to friendships, the old saying may be true. A little absence might really make the heart grow fonder. Having friendships and a strong social support system is important for your mental health and well-being. 【5】
A．Being alone is harmful if it feels like a punishment.
B．Being alone gives you time to focus on your interests.
C．Being alone, on the other hand, is often associated with loneliness.
D．Research has shown that many people actually prefer being on their own.
E．However, research is increasingly showing that doing things alone does pay off.
F．Brainstorming together is often seen as one of the best ways to generate new ideas.
G．But being alone occasionally may make you appreciate those connections even more.
24、How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision? The answer for many of us, it turns out, is “hardly any”, even when spending a lot of money. Most people make two trips or fewer to a dealership before buying a car. We are not necessarily conserving our resources to spend them on bigger decisions either. One in five Americans spends more time planning their upcoming vacation than they do on their financial future.
To be sure, some people go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice, and it’s certainly possible to overthink things. But there are also people who are quick to jump to conclusions. This way of thinking is considered a “cognitive bias (认知偏差)”, a term psychologists use to describe a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.
In our own research, we have found that hasty judgments are often just one part of larger error-prone patterns in behavior and thinking. We’ve also found that people who tend to make such “jumps” in their reasoning may experience a wide range of costs.
To study jumping to conclusions, we worked with more than 600 people from the general population. Because much of the work on this bias comes from studies of schizophrenia (精神分裂症), we borrowed a thinking game used in that area of research.
In this game, players encountered someone who was fishing from one of two lakes: in one lake, most of the fish were red, and in the other, most were gray. The fisher would catch one fish at a time and stop only when players thought they could say which lake they were fishing in. Some players had to see many fish before making a decision. Others, the jumpers, stopped after only one or two.
We also asked participants questions to learn more about their other thinking patterns. We found that the fewer fish a player needed to see, the more errors he or she made in other beliefs, reasoning and decisions.
What our research and other recent studies show is that sometimes the most important decision can be when you choose to spend time considering before deciding. Even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help you avoid a major mistake.

【3】What conclusion can we draw from the thinking game?
A．Participants in the game are from a specific hospital.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?

B．To analyse the reasons for jumpers making quick decisions.
C．To explain the concept of a cognitive bias.
