A new study has found that elementary school students who slept too little were more likely to gain pounds. In the United States today, some 9 million children over the age of 6 are obese(too fat).Past studies have shown a link between sleeping less and weighing more,but scientists have had a tough time determining“Which came first,the chicken or the egg?” says Julie C. Lumeng of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In other words,it hasn’t been clear whether kids who weigh too much have trouble sleeping, or whether sleeping less leads to weight gain. Both scenarios(情况)seemed equally possible.To get a better idea of which causes which, Lumeng and his colleagues interviewed the parents of 785 third graders from around the United States. The parents answered questions about how well their kids slept that year. Three years later, the parents answered the same questions. By sixth grade,18 percent of kids involved in the study were obese. The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students’ race or gender. It also didn’t ma tter how strict their parents were. Obesity struck all of these groups equally.Instead,sleep seemed to be the key factor. Over the 3 years of the study, the children averaged a healthy 9.5 hours of sleep a night. Some kids, however,slept a lot more—or less—than others. For the sixth graders, every hour of sleep above the 9.5 hour average was linked to a 20 percent lower risk of being obese. Sleep appeared doubly important for the third graders. Every extra hour of sleep they got was linked to a 40 percent drop in obesity by third grade.“I expected we’d find that this(sleep link with obesity) was just a_bunch_of_bunk,”says Lumeng,a pediatrician. But their findings were convincing. No matter how her team looked at the link,“we couldn’t make it go away.”1.According to the research,________.A.9 million people in America have a weight problemB.not enough sleep contributes to a gain in weightC.sixth graders need more sleep than third gradersD.lack of sleep has become the most deadly killer2.The statement “W hich came first,the chicken or the egg?” suggests that________. A.scientists are sure about the causes of children’s obesityB.it’s easy to decide the cause and effect of this problemC.scientists are still confused about the cause and effect of the problemD.you’ll develop obesity if you eat chicken and eggs3.Recent studies show that a child’s weight is influenced by the________.A.amount of sleep B.parents’ attitude to himC.race or gender D.performance in school4.The underlined part in the last paragraph most probably means something________. A.acceptable B.understandableC.reliable D.unreasonableB(重庆一中期中测试)Doomed beauties such as Cleopata and Manilyn Monroe were far from alone in their misery. Very attractive people tend to form partnerships that are less stable and satisfying than those enjoyed by plain_Janes .According to the research by Dr John Blaine of the University of Southern California, relationships between people whose professions largely depend on their appearance, such asmodels or actors, tend to end much faster than those between lawyers, doctors and students. Blaine said the beautiful felt different from children. They are treated as special, which may create both arrogance (傲慢)and insecurity. All too often, beauty can be used as an alternative to education. Often they are pushed out of their class or town, told to go off and make their fortune in Hollywood or London and, when the majority fail, they have few talents to make a living.Blain e added that beautiful people score poorly on the “big five”—the key factors American experts consider when helping distressed couples. These are neuroticism(神经过敏),including anger and anxiety; extroversion(性格外向);openness to new experiences; agreeableness; conscientiousness, and sticking by agreements they have made. Attractive people often see no reason to try to change until their looks start to fade.Krista Sutherlanf, of the University of California Los Angeles, said partnerships that appeared to be perf ect from the outside, such as the former “dream teams” of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise or Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley, where backgrounds and aspirations(抱负) are often shared ,did not necessarily lead to happiness.【解题导语】本文为议论文,作者论证了这样一个观点:美女并不幸福。
