People who spend more pre-bedtime hours using the Internet or watching television are more likely to report that they don’t get enough sleep, even though they sleep almost as long as people who spend fewer pre-bedtime hours in front of a computer or television screen, survey findings show.
“While many people use electronic media, such as the Internet, it should be noted that the longer media use before sleep can trigger (self-perceived) insufficient sleep,” lead researcher Dr Nakamori Suganuma, of Osaka University, Japan, told the reporter.
He and colleagues obtained data on self-perceived sleep problems and the use of electronic media prior to bedtime from a total of 5,875 Japanese respondents in two separate Internet-based surveys. Their findings are published in the journal Sleep and Biological Rhythms.
Nearly half of the respondents associate d their lack of sleep with electronic media use before bedtime. Those reporting longer electronic media use were also more likely to report insufficient sleep.
Overall, 29 percent of light users (less than 1.5 hours) listed electronic media use as a possible cause of their insufficient sleep. By comparison, 40 percent of medium users (1.5 to 3 hours) and 54 percent of heavy users (more than 3 hours) said the same.
However, longer Internet and television use before bedtime did not correlate with less actual sleep. While heavy users averaged about 3 more hours in front of computer or television screens than light users, the heavy users averaged only about 12 minutes less pre-workday sleep time than light users.
Notably, Suganuma said, “Internet use affected self-perceived insufficient sleep more than TV
watching ... not only in younger Internet users but also in middle-aged or aged Internet users.”
Up to 38 percent of the respondents listed accessing the Internet far into the night as a possible cause for their sleep disturbance, while about 25 percent said watching. television far into the night caused their sleep problems.
The findings suggest that while heavy computer and television use before bedtime has a small effect on sleep duration, it may have a more significant effect on “sleep demand and sleep quality,” Suganuma notes.
1.Heavy computer and television user before bedtime are more likely to be ________ than light ones.
A. energetic
B. happy
C. accessible
D. sleepy
2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

D. Spend less time in watching TV or surfing the Internet, and you will have a better sleep.
3. The passage seems to suggest that people ________.
A. drag themselves away from the media
B. watch TV rather than use the Internet
C. select carefully what is fit for bedtime relaxation

The world-famous physicist has previously issued warnings to the world that robots could wipe out mankind and that leaving Earth is our only hope.
“I believe that life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as a sudden nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus, or catastrophic global warming,” he said. “I think the human race has no future if it doesn’t go to space.”
Hawking said that increasingly, most of the threats mankind faces come from progress in technology. “We are not going to stop making progress, or reverse it, so we must recognize the dangers and control them.”
To get away from these threats, humankind will have to colonise other planets, which Hawking believe s will take more than a century. “We will not establish self-sustaining colonies in space for at least the next hundred years, so we have to be very careful in this period,” Hawking said.
Research regarding sending humans into space remains strong.
In September the US Senate introduced a bill that authorizes a new $19.5 billion (£15 billion) budget for Nasa to send a crew to the red planet, but commanded it must happen within the next 25 years.
Professor Hawking has also previously singled out the risk of artificial intelligence (AI) becoming powerful enough to cause the downfall of mankind.
In July, Professor Hawking and Tesla founder Elon Musk led 1,000 robotics experts in an open letter warning that “Weapons entirely powered by AI will become the Kalashnikovs of tomorrow”.
“The probable life span of human civilization is much greater if we’re a multi-planet species as opposed to a single-planet species,” Elon Musk said last year.
His company SpaceX is working to send humans to space. In September, the firm test fired one of its new Raptor “interplanetary transport engines” which the company will use to carry astronauts to Mars.
5. Which of the following might Professor Hawking NOT agree with?
A. The human race has no way out but to stop progress in technology.
B. It will take at least one century to colonize a planet.
C. Artificial intelligence will bring disasters to the human race.
D. Mankind is facing many dangers caused by technological progress.
6. The underlined sentence “O ur days on Earth are numbered” implies ________.
A. We are particular creatures living on earth.
B. We can’t live on earth for much longer.
C. There are too many days for human existence.
D. Each day has its particular meaning.
7. The paragraphs following this passage would probably talk about ________.
A. how to extend human life span
B. more threats the human race faces
C. the risk of artificial intelligence
D. Space X’s plan to colonize Mars

We all know that listening to music can reduce emotional pain, but Taylor Swift, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys can also ease physical pain, according to a study of children and teenagers who had major surgery.
The research was carried out because of a very personal experience. Sunitha Suresh was a college student when her grandmother had major surgery and was put in intensive care (重症监护).This meant her family couldn't always be with her. They decided to put her favorite music on an iPod so she could listen around the clock.
It was very calming, Suresh says. “She knew that someone who l oved her had left that music for her and she was in a familiar place.”
Suresh could see that the music relaxed her grandmother and made her feel less anxious, but she wondered if she also felt less pain. That would make sense, because anxiety can make people more vulnerable (脆弱的）to pain. At the time Suresh was majoring in biomedical engineering with a minor (兼修）in music cognition (认知）at Northwestern University where her father, Sanlhanam Suresh, is a professor of anesthesiology (麻醉）and pediatrics (儿科).
So the father and daughter decided to do a study. And since Dr Suresh works with children, they decided to look at how music chosen by the children themselves might affect their tolerance for pain.
It was a small study, involving 60 patients between 9 and 14 years old. All the patients were undergoing big operations that required them to stay in the hospital for at least a couple of days. Right after surgery, patients received narcotics (麻醉药）to control pain. The next day they were divided into three groups. One group heard 30 minutes of music of their choice, one heard 30 minutes of stories of their choice and one listened to 30. minutes of silence via noise canceling headphones (降噪耳机).
After a 30-minute period, the children who listened to music or books reduced their pain burden by 1 point on a 10-point scale. That might not sound like much, but Sunitha Suresh says it’s the equivalent (相
等物）of taking an over-the-counter pain medication like Advil or Tylenol.
The findings suggest that doctors may be able to use less pain medication for their pediatric patients. And that's a good thing, says Santhanam Suresh, as children are smaller and are more likely to suffer side effects. So the less pain medication, he says, the better.
8. What inspired Sunitha Suresh to do the research on the effects of music?
A. Her father’s study into music cognition.
B. Her grandmother’s experience of recovery.
C. Her desire to find a new way to help patients relieve pain.
D. A book that claims anxiety can make people more vulnerable to Pain-
9. During the research, the participants .
A. were all patients under 12 years old
B. received narcotics to control pain after surgeries
C. were required to stay in the hospital for a couple of months
D. were divided into three groups to listen to three different kinds of music
10. What did Suresh and her rather find out from their research?
A. Books didn’t reduce the children's pain burden any all.
B. Music was even more effective than pain medication for the children.
C. Music did reduce the children's pain burden to a certain decree.
D. The longer the children listened to music, the less pain they felt ________.
11. It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A. children are more sensitive to music than adults
B. children can easily get addicted to pain medication
C. children are more likely to suffer from the side effects of pain medication
D. children may be treated by combining medication and music to reduce their pain

With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species(物种). That’s a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.
Noah’s Ark is a imed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be en ough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do sev eral hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult,
but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraem er, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A&M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are atte mpting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
12. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to _______.
A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas
B. save endangered animals from dying out
C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
13. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _______.
A. available panda eggs
B. host animals
C. qualified researchers
D. enough money
14. The best title for the passage may be _______.
A. China’s Success in Pandas Cloning
B. The First Cloned Panda in the World
C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D. China —the Native Place of Pandas Forever
15. From the passage we know that _______.
A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog
B. scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit
C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has finally revealed his grand plan for humans to colonize Mars.
But why go to Mars? “There are two fundamental paths: we stay on Earth forever and life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk of being wiped out. Or we become a multi-pl anet species,” explained Musk.
In September, SpaceX showed off its new Raptor engines that will be used on the company’s Mars Colonial Transporter. The Raptor engines, powered by liquid methane and liquid oxygen rather than the kerosene used in the current Merlin engines on the Falcon 9 rockets, are “several times” more powerful to transport satellites and spacecraft into orbit.
A rocket using 42 Raptor engines will propel (推进) a spaceship into orbit. The whole system is called the Interplanetary Transport System (ITS). The booster will then separate from the ITS, at which point it will land back on Earth to be reused. The spaceship, meanwhile, will remain in Earth’s orbit.
Using the same booster, a second fuel tanker will be launched to meet the orbiting ITS. After fueling up completely, the ITS will depart on its journey to Mars. With the aid of solar sails, the spaceship will arrive on Mars in 80 to 150 days, hopefully cut down to 30 days eventually.
But how will people come back? Musk hopes the first colonizers of Mars will be able to begin producing fuel to get back to Earth. Mars is rich with resources that would make it possible to create methane-based fuel. Leaving Earth without enough fuel to return is a necessity, as it would require five times the payload to get the ITS off the ground.
Although Musk’s plans for Mars colonization are theoretically possible, it remains to be seen if the plan will actually work in practice. One of the biggest challenges is convincing the public that it’s worth the risk to go to Mars.
As Musk said, space travel is extremely dangerous. There are many unknowns, like how radiation will affect passengers aboard the ITS and how much training humans will need to be able to withstand the forces of takeoff and landing.
16.Elon Musk thinks it necessary to colonize Mars because __________.
A. Earth can no longer sustain masses of people
B. it is a good chance to be a multi-planet species
C. human race has no future if it doesn’t go to space
D. mankind can achieve its ambition of space travel
17. Which of the following is Not the technological features of ITS?
A. the reusability of the booster
B. a second fueling up in solar orbit
C. probability of making propellant fuel on Mars
D. methane-based fuel instead of kerosene
18. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. Elon Musk’s plan to colonize Mars
B. how humans will get to Mars
C. the possibility of Mars immigration
D. what dangers space travel may have

With commercial and social media, everything makes the younger generation feel that they are the 5 of the universe. If it’s all about them, why thank others?
If true, there would be a disturbing 6 trend. Canadian researchers found that people who wrote thank-you letters or performed good deeds for a six-week period decreased their pain, upped their energy, and improved their mental health. And you can 7 these benefits at any age. Old people who choose to be thankful are less likely to worry about their 8 health.
Gratitude tends to be easily spread, as well. Those who are helped are more likely to pay kindness 9 . One study found that when someone is thanked, it more than doubles his or her chances of being 10 again, likely because he or she enjoys feeling socially 11 .
If you aren’t particularly grateful now, you can learn to be. People who keep a journal of three positive things that happen to them each day 12 health-inducing thankfulness. At first, it may be difficult to 13 the good things that occur. But 14 , your brain gets trained into a more appreciative mode. And in the end, the journal becomes a book of joyful 15 . Gratitude training certainly comes to your aid during the 16 times because a greater appreciation for life is the 17 you focus on.
