The bad health effects of sleep loss during the week can't be repaid by longer weekend sleep,according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that sleep deprivation(剝奪)can cause weight gain and increase other health risks.But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of shuteye,they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.
The research,published in Current Biology,crushes those hopes.Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period,people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term.While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of sleep loss,those gains were wiped out when people fell right back into their same sleep-deprived schedule the next Monday.
"If there are benefits of catch-up sleep,they're gone when you go back to your daily schedule.It's very short lived," said Kenneth Wright,director of the sleep and chronobiology lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder. "These health effects are long term.It's kind of like smoking once was — people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health,but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice.I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be."
Wright said that the study suggests people should put sleep in the first place cutting out the "sleep stealers" such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones.Even when people don't have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules,they should think about getting sleep in the same way they would get a healthy diet or exercise.

2.Each year on Halloween,children look forward to trick-or-treating (不請(qǐng)客就搗亂) for candies.But for some kids,eating Halloween candies can be dangerous.
That's because one out of every 13 kids in the Us have a food allergy(過敏癥).They are allergic to ingredients(成分)in many Halloween candies,such as peanuts,tree nuts,milk,eggs,and beans.If they eat these foods,they will get sick or even die.
"I had to throw away all my candies with tears," eight-year-old Conlen said.Conlen is allergic to peanuts,tree nuts,and dairy.Twelve-year-old Kylie is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts.She has been trick-or-treating only twice. "I brought my candies home and gave them to the neighbors," Kylie said. "It felt terrible."
But this year,Conlen,Kylie and other kids with food allergies will have a chance for a happy Halloween.That's because nearly 100,000 households across the US have promised to take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project(TPP),which was started last year by Food Allergy Research & Education(FARE).FARE is an organization that works to improve the lives of people with food allergies.Through the project,the households agree to have nonfood items for trick-or-treaters,including trinkets(小飾品) and toys.
To take part in the project,people buy a teal(藍(lán)綠色) pumpkin or paint a pumpkin teal and place it in front of their house.The painted pumpkins let trick-or-treaters know that nonfood items are available there.The households also add their home addresses to an online map,making it easier for trick-or-treaters to find them.
Kylie loves the idea."The TPP makes Halloween fun and safe," she said."It makes me feel like a normal kid,and it makes everyone feel included."
(1)To Conlen and Kylie,the past Halloween were
A.upsetting and dangerous
B.interesting and special
C.sick and terrible
D.important and exciting
(2)According to the passage,we know that FARE
A.helps people with food allergies recover
B.helps the households take part in the TPP
C.takes action to change kids' bad eating habits
D.helps kids with food allergies have a happy Halloween
(3)The households help kids with food allergies by
A.giving them teal pumpkins as gifts
B.offering them all kinds of food except candies
C.providing them with trinkets and toys as treats
D.a(chǎn)sking them for home addresses and sending them gifts
(4)Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A.A magazine about the history of festivals.
B.A news report on cultures and customs.

D.A research paper on kid's health.發(fā)布:2024/12/19 20:30:1組卷:36引用:3難度:0.7 -
3.Besides the excitement of travel,one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs,holidays,foods,art,music,and politics first-hand.
"I learned the language and am now fluent,but perhaps what's more important is how much I learned about cultures,people,and myself.I learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and my host family,not from the tourist's point of view," says Andrew,who studied in Poitiers,F(xiàn)rance.
Another reason for studying abroad is that you'll gain self-confidence.Christina studied in Caracas,Venezuela,a city of more than 3 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35,000!Christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language.What could make you more confident than that?
Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition(過渡)to college and adulthood.Mathew says he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and a real interest in international affairs that made him different from his peers(同齡人). "After having gone abroad in high school,I found the transition to college a breeze—moving 560 miles from home didn't seem particularly frightening after having lived thousands of miles away."
Most of all,it's fun while you're studying in a different learning environment.
(1)What is the passage mainly about?
A.Learning a language.
B.The excitement of travel.
C.Living in a foreign country.
D.The benefits of studying abroad.
(2)What did Andrew pay special attention to while studying abroad?
A.Host families.
B.The foreign cultures.

D.Community problems.
(3)According to the example of Christina,what do we know about studying abroad?
A.It can change our habits.
B.It can offer us opportunities.
C.It can increase our knowledge.
D.It can build our confidence.
