根据下面资料，回答题 I′ve often wondered how exactly sleep, or lack of it, can have such an awful effect on our bodies and, guess what, how much we sleep switches good genes on and bad genes off. In the first half of 2013, the Sleep Research Centre at the University of Surrey found a direct link between hours spent sleeping and genes. Every cell in our bodies carries genetic instructions in our DNA that act as a kind of operating handbook. However, each cell only "reads" the part of this handbook it needs at any given moment. Can sleep affect how a gene reads instructions It′s a question asked by Professor Derk-Jan Dijk at the University of Surrey. He set up an experiment and asked his volunteers to spend a week sleeping around seven and a half hours to eight hours a night and the next sleeping six and a half to seven hours. Blood samples were taken each week to compare which genes in blood cells were being used during the long and short nights. The results were rather surprising. Several hundred genes changed in the amount they were being used, including some that are linked to heart disease, cancer, and Type 2 diabetes. Genes to do with cell repair and replacement were used much less. Sleep restriction (six and a half to seven hours a night) changed 380 genes. Of these,220 genes were down regulated (their power was reduced), while 160 were up regulated (their power was increased). Those affected included body-clock genes which are linked to diabetes. One of the most downgraded genes is that which has a role in controlling insulin and is linked to diabetes and insomnia. The most upgraded gene is linked to heart disease. So changing sleep by tiny amounts can upgrade or downgrade genes that can influence our health and the diseases we suffer from when we sleep too little. The important message is that getting close to eight hours of sleep a night can make a dramatic difference to our health in just a few days through the way it looks after our genes. Which of the following may be concluded from the passage 查看材料A.The experiment was performed at the University of Surrey in early 2013.B.Body-clock genes are associated with heart disease, cancer and Type 2 diabetes.C.Sleep restrictions may contribute to disease like diabetes, insomnia, and heart disease.D.7.5-8 hours' sleep pattern makes little difference compared with 6.5-7 hours' sleep pattern.

共用题干第三篇SleeplessnessInsomnia or sleeplessness is a common complaint of women as they enter into menopause.Insomnia means having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep or the feeling that your sleep was not adequate for you. For women who are having night sweats,their sleep is broken by frequent awakening and therefore not re- freshing.

共用题干第三篇The Changing Middle ClassThe United States perceives itself to be a middle一class nation.However,middle class is not a real desig- nation,nor does it carry privileges（特权）.It is more of a perception,which probably was as true as it evercould be right after World War II.The economy was growing;more and more people owned their own homes; workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them;and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one.Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They might have started out poor,but they could become rich.Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility.In other words,they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.The middle class colleetively holds several values and principles. One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one's own economic fate.In addition,middle-class morality（道 德观）embraces principles of individual responsibility,importance of family,obligations to others,and believing in something outside oneself.But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success. A U.S.Newslong commutes became routine;the need for child care put strains on the family;and public schools were not as good as they once were.Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.In the years after World War II,the middle class were_________________.A:overburdened and in debtB:hard working and doubtfulC:happy and full of hopeD:young and upset

Researchers used frequent telephone (3)______ to track the sleep habits of more than 150 men and women aged 21 to 55 over the course of a few weeks. Then they exposed the (4)______ to the virus, quarantined (隔离) them for five days and kept track of who got sick.
