Doctors sometimes prescribe light therapy to treat a form of depression in people who get too little morning sun. But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders. Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals.
The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center. Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes——that can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.
In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks，“ a sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once Bedrosian says.
enjoyed，”　
In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of
，10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime “behavioral despair”
darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light-dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also could quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting (注射)the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.
Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can’t easily
detect molecular underpinnings (分子基础)as animal studies can，says George Brainard of
Thomas Jefferson University. The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological
clock by light at night can be “an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior.
63.After being exposed to continuous nighttime light，the mice _____.
A. changed their preferences
B. escaped from the water more eagerly
C. remained active as before
D. showed less interest in their favorites
64.What does the underlined word “quash” in Para. 4 probably mean?
A. study
B. predict
C. ease
D. cause
65.We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.
A. light at night may have practical value
B. the biological clock is beneficial to humans
C. human mood disorders cannot be healed easily
D. human studies are more important than animal studies
66.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Nighttime light may foster depression.
B. A drug has been found to cure mood disorders.
C. The study on animals can be applied to humans.
D. Human biological clock can be controlled by light.

Anybody Copy Apple?
Why Doesn’ｔ
products are the envy of the world. They have been
Apple’ｓ
spectacularly successful and are widely imitated, if not copied. The
minute Apple crystallizes a product, everyone knows how to
compete. This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and
then the race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable. When Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes
the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built. But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apple’s products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?
I can think of two reasons. Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because it’s not successful;
secondly, Apple’ｓ
success cannot be copied because it is a magical process.
There is a great deal of evidence for the first hypothesis. The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price. Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P(标准普尔)500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, it’s not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future. Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? If one works really hard at innovation
and then that innovation becomes commoditized(商品化）very quickly, why should one bother?
When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical. The climax of this hypothesis is the
chief-sorcerer” theory of succes
s which places one magician，like Steve Jobs，in charge of “　
casting all the right spells (符咒）.
own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and What about Apple’ｓ
integration of hardware，software and services as unique Apple advantages. It’s a better explanation. Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort.
A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-hearted. There
integrated company from Samsung, Google or
is no “move the Earth” panic to become an
Microsoft.
My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out. However, as Tim points out, it’s not a formula. It’s complex, it’s subtle, but it’s not magic. It’s a process that requires a degree of faith and courage.
67.When a new product of Apple comes out, often it _____.
A. ruins an industry dramatically
B. starts a revolution of an industry
C. puts itself in an unbeatable position
D. is soon overtaken by imitated products
_____.
68.According to the passage, other companies don’t “copy being Apple” because
A. Apple is not a successful company
B. they have no access to relevant resources
C. it’s hard to find a magician like Steve Jobs
D. being Apple takes more than time and efforts
69.We can infer from Para. 5 that _____.
A. other companies are dedicated to integration
B. Apple itself is fully aware of its unique advantages
C. Apple will hold the leading position in this industry
D. other companies don’ｔ
