26、A new study published in "Annals of Behavioral Medicine" shows that three continuous nights of sleep loss cause great damage to your mental and physical well-being.
Soomi Lee, assistant professor in the School of Aging Studies at the University of South Florida, found the biggest jump in symptoms appeared after just one night of sleep loss. The number of mental and physical problems steadily got worse, peaking on day three. At that point, research shows the human body got relatively used to repeated sleep loss. But that all changed on day six, when participants reported that the severity of physical symptoms was at its worst.
"Many of us think that we can pay our sleep debt on weekends and be more productive on weekdays," Lee said. "However, results froth this study show that having just one night of sleep loss can significantly impair your daily functioning."
Data provided by the Midlife in the United States study included nearly 2, 000 middle-aged adults who were relatively healthy and well-educated. Among them, 42% had at least one night of sleep loss, sleeping 1%fewer hours than their typical routines. They recorded their mental and physical behaviors in a diary for eight consecutive days, allowing researchers to review how sleep loss causes wear and tear on the body.
Participants reported a pile-up of angry, nervous, lonely, irritable and frustrated feelings as a result of sleep loss. They also experienced more physical symptoms, such as upper respiratory（呼吸道）issues, aches, gastrointestinal（肠胃的）problems and other health concerns. These negative feelings and symptoms were continuously elevated throughout consecutive（连续的）sleep loss days and didn't return to baseline levels unless they had a night sleep of more than six hours.
About one-third of U.S. adults sleep less than six hours per night. Lee says once that becomes a habit, it's increasingly difficult for your body to fully recover from lack of sleep, continuing the vicious（恶性的）cycle of worsening daily well-being, which could impact one professionally. A previous study led by Lee found losing just 16 minutes of sleep could impact job performance. Her previous findings also show that minor sleep loss can decrease daily mindfulness, which is a critical recourse for managing stress and maintaining healthy routines.
Lee says the best way to maintain a strong daily performance is to set aside more than six hours to sleep every night.
【1】Which of the following statements is true about the sleep loss according to paragraph 2?
A．The most severity of physical symptoms happens on day six.
B．The biggest symptom of our body appears on the first day.
C．The problems of mental and physical steadily exist during the days.
D．One night of sleep loss can also affect your body functioning.
【2】Which of the following influences is not mentioned in the passage?
A．People's work.
B．People's family.
C．People's bad emotion.
D．People's body health.
【3】Which is not true according to the passage?
A．Minor sleep loss can reduce daily mindfulness.
B．An over 6-hour night sleep can ease the negative feelings.
C．Losing just 16 minutes of sleep have no impact on job performance.
D．Sleep loss can lead to vicious cycle of worsening daily well-being.
【4】Which can be the best title of this passage?
A．Who Steals Your Sleep?
B．How to Make up Our Sleep Debt?
C．How Sleep Loss Impacts Our Health?
D．How to Be a Good Sleeper?

29、 Bob Dylan has won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature, announced Sara Danius, Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary, on Thursday in Stockholm.
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2016 is awarded to Bob Dylan “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition,” Danius said at the Swedish Academy.
“As an artist, he is versatile; he has been active as painter, actor and scriptwriter,” said the official statement.
Apart from his large production of albums, Dylan has published experimental work. He has written the autobiography Chronicles (2004), which describes memories from the early years in New York and his life at the center of popular culture, it added.
Born on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota, in the United States, the 75-year-old rock singer is the first songwriter to win the glorious award and the first American to win since novelist Toni Morrison in 1993.
Barack Obama said the honour was well-deserved. “Congratulations to one of my favourite poets,” he wrote on Twitter.
Dylan, who took his stage name from the poet Dylan Thomas, had long been regarded as a potential prize winner.
Former Poet Laureate Sir Andrew Motion is among those who have ever praised Dylan’s lyrics, saying they are often the best words in the best order.
Dylan began his musical career in Minnesota before heading for New York. Many of his best-known works date from the 1960s, when he became an informal historian of America’s troubles. His songs Blowing in the Wind and The Times They are A-Changing were popular in the anti-war and civil rights movements.
Few experts, though, expected the academy to extend the award to a folk music songwriter. In 112 years, no songwriter has ever won before. What makes a man who has only ever written three books a suitable winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature?
【1】What does the underlined word in Para 3 mean?
A.able to do things in different fields
B.able to understand others’ feelings
C.able to produce a lot
D.able to succeed at an old age
【2】Many of Bob Dylan’s best-known songs _______________.
A.were written before he arrived in New York.
B.date back to the middle 1970s.
C.were often sung in the political movements.
D.show America’s troubled history.
【3】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Dylan’s winning the Nobel Prize in Literature.
B.Dylan’s life experiences as an artist.
C.Dylan’s contribution to the American literature.
D.Dylan’s musical career in America.
