手惰市安逸阳光实验学校Unit 3 Inventors and inventionsⅠ.阅读理解A(2017·广西重点高中考试)Weighing too much can damage your health, and obesity is a growing problem for both kids and adults around the world. Sleep might be one answer to the problem. A new study has found that elementary school students who slept too little were more likely to gain pounds.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 (可能出现的情况) seemed equally possible.To get a better idea of which causes which, Lumeng and her 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 matter how strict their parents were, or whether they were boys or girls. 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 9.5hour 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.【解题导语】本文是说明文。

The question is 42.________ students should be allowed to use them at school. Some parents support it just for the need to communicate with their children, 43.w________ some others think it a bad idea, worrying that it will disturb usual educational 44.________ (环境).In my opinion, 45.________ is not that necessary for us to have cell phones in school. Busy with studies and afterclass 46.________ (活动), we do not have much time to call others. 47.________, it is true that parents and students have a need to talk to each other from time to time. I suggest schools provide more pay phones on campus so that parents and students can have easier access 48.________ each other.参考答案课时作业(三十八)Ⅰ.1.B 考查非谓语动词。
