A recent US study found that people who score high for extroversion rate themselves as leaner and taller than they acmally are,with male extroverts weighing more than introverts.Conscientiousness is associated with a healthier weight,xvith the most conscientious(in the top 25%)weighing on average almost Skg less than the least conscientious(in the bottom 25%).Participants scoring low on emotional stability tended to overestimate their weight,although women who gave themselves a low score did actually weigh more than others with higher scores on this trait.These findings held across all of the ethnic groups included in the study.While some links are unsurprising(eg.conscientious people stick to their diets),some are not so easy to explain.Why,for example,do extrovcrted men weigh more?Is it because they're always in the pub?If so,perhaps the"beer goggle"effect explains why they rate themselves as taller and thinner than they actually are.

第1题:

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: we eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were leaner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch TV.

Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.

Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact:

The more the man ran, the greater loss of body fat.

The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake.

Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.

1、What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?____

A、They are too slim.

B、They work too hard.

C、They are too fat.

D、 They lost too much body fat.

2、Based upon the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have a "weight problem"?____

A、 30.

B、 50.

C、100.

D、150.

3、Is there scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a "weight problem"?____

A、Yes, there is plenty of evidence.

B、Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.

C、There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.

D、We don't know because the information is not given

4、In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of ____.

A、ate more food and had more physical activities

B、ate less food but had more activities

C、 ate less food and had less physical exercise

D、had more weight problems

5、What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?____

A、Fat people eat less food and are less active.

B、 Fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active.

C、 Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.

D、 Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake.

More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing
1 Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known,new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
2 Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems,than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night's sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
3 These findings,which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine,demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside, more than 8 hours a night.He added that“it might be a good idea”for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed,but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.
4 Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance,one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
5 For the current report,Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionaires,in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.
6 Kridke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more like-ly to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence,he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed,then they'll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”he said.

Paragraph 6______
A: Kripke's Research
B: Dangers of Habitual Shortages of Sleep
C: Criticism on Kripke's Report
D: A way of Overcoming Insomnia
E: Sleep Problems of Long and Short Sleepers
F: Classification of Sleep Problems

答案:D
解析:
该段中只包含两个句子,而每个句子中提到了have trouble falling asleep“很难入睡”,这表明该段主题应与睡眠问题相关。选项E和选项F都直接提到了sleep problems “睡眠问题”,因此推测答案可能来自这两个选项。选项E意为“睡眠时间长的人和睡眠时间短的人遇到的睡眠问题”,选项F意为“睡眠问题的分类”。结合段落内容来看,段落第一句主要提到people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight“每晚睡9一10个小时的人即睡眠时间长的人”的情况,段落第二句主要提到people who slept only 7 hours each night“每晚只睡 7个小时的人即睡眠时间短的人”呼应,因此E是答案。
整个段落只包含一个句子,该句主要以前的研究揭示了慢性睡眠不足的潜在危险。这与B项“习惯性睡眠不足的危险”呼应一致。所以答案为B。
A和F容易相互成为干扰项,这对于该段主题的判断具有一定的迷惑性,但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”是属于问卷上要回答的内容,是和Kripke的直接研究有关,所以判断“Kripke的研究”是段落的主题,因此A是答案。
剩下的3个选项中,选项F作为第1小题的干扰项成为本小题答案的可能性很小,选项C意为“对Kripke报告的批评”,整个段落主要提到了Kripke的研究发现和他的看法: Kridke found ... (Kridke发现);Kripke noted ... (Kripke指出……); he added...(他补充说……), 根本没有涉及到对Kripke的批评,因此C是干扰项,答案应该为D。该段首先分析了睡眠时间长的人出现睡眠问题的原因,然后指出克服失眠(睡眠问题的具体表现)的一种方法。
利用题干中的名词短语。good night's rest和名词people作为定位线索,在文章中找到相关句:These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psycho-somatic Medicine,demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside more than 8 hours a night.依据该句可直接判断F项“睡眠超过8小时”是答案。
利用题干中的名词短语long sleepers作为定位线索,同时关注题干中的其他用词,这样在文章中找到相关句:Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight(与long sleepers呼应)appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night.依据该句可直接判断E项“出现睡眠问题”是答案。
利用题干中的名词短语one of the sleep problems, the middle of the night 作为定位线索,在文章中找到相关句:Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning. A项fall asleep again“再次入睡”是fall back to sleep的 近义结构,所以答案为A。
利用题干中的名词结构one survey, higher risk of dying作为定位线索,在 文章中找到相关句:one report(与 survey呼应)demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than peo-ple who sleep more.依据该句可直接判断C项“睡眠不足7个小时”是答案。

Although it is a common belief that sleeping for at least eight hours a night is vital for
health and well-being,the six-year study involving more than 1.1 million Americans older
than 30 found that those who slept for less than eight hours were far from doing themselves
any long-term harm.
"Individuals who now average 6.5 hours of sleep a night can be reassured that this is a
safe amount of sleep.From a health standpoint,there is no reason to sleep longer,"said
Daniel Kripke , a professor of psychiatry(精神病学)at the University of California, San
Diego.
Dr. Kripke said,"We don't know if long sleep periods lead to death.Additional studies
are needed to determine if setting your alarm clock earlier will actually improve your health."
The scientists,who were funded by the American Cancer Society,found that the best
survival rates were among the men and women who slept for seven hours a night.Those
who slept for eight hours were 12 per cent more likely to die during the six-year period of the
study,when other factors such as diet and smoking were taken into account.
Even those who spent a mere five hours a night in bed lived longer than those who slept
eight or more hours.However,an increasing death rate was found among those who slept
for less than five hours.
Dr. Kripke said,"Previous sleep studies have indicated that both short-and long-duration
(持续时间)sleep had higher mortality rates. However, none of those studies were large
enough to distinguish the difference between seven and eight hours a night,until now."

Most of the participants slept for 7 hours a night during the study.
