Empathy and generosity are two qualities that arguably make the world go round. But a study suggests that the willingness to help crashes when people get too little sleep.
To prove it, researchers conducted three experiments designed to examine the issue from the individual to the societal scale.
In the first experiment, researchers performed functional magnetic resonance (磁共振) imaging scans of the brain and questioned 24 adults after an eight-hour-sleep night and after a sleepless night. When they rested well, the participants scored well on a helping behavior test. But after sleep loss, 78 percent had less of a desire to help others, even when it came to friends and family. The scans showed that areas of the brains associated with social cognition—our thought processes related to other people—were less active with sleep loss.
The second experiment tracked 136 healthy adults over four nights and asked them questions about helping the following day. The effect held for them, too.
To test the effects on a societal level, the researchers then looked at a database of 3 million charitable donations given between 2001 and 2016. They found that immediately following the beginning of daylight saving time (DST夏令时)—a notorious sleep disrupter—donations dropped by 10 percent. The effect wasn't found in data from Hawaii or Arizona. However, neither observe DST.
Why bother studying how helpful people are when they don't get enough shut-eye “We're starting to see more studies, where the effects of sleep loss don't just stop at the individual, but extend to those around us,” said Eti Ben Simon, a scientist who co-wrote the study, in a news release. “If you're not getting enough sleep, it not only hurts your own well-being, but hurts that of your entire social circle, including strangers.”
There's a silver lining to all that ungenerous behavior. The researchers write: Unlike personal qualities, sleep can be switched—and both getting enough sleep and helping others do the same might make for a better world.
1.On which level were the first two experiments made
A.The world level. B.The individual level.
C.The societal level. D.The family level.
2.What can we learn about the experiments from the text
A.The sleep quality determined people's desire to help.
B.Our brains would become inactive for lack of sleep.
C.The first two experiments' results were the same.
D.DST influenced the donations in all examined areas.
3.Why do researchers bother to conduct such a study according to Eti Ben Simon
A.Because they want to solve the sleep loss problem.
B.Because they want more people to donate money.
C.Because sleep loss has greater impacts than we assume.
D.Because it will prevent people from hurting their well-being.
4.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.Scientists Found Solid Evidence for Sleep Loss
B.Two Significant Qualities—Empathy and Generosity
C.A Sound Sleep Contributes to a Better Person
D.Too Little Sleep Makes People Less Generous
Ⅳ.七选五
There is an old saying, “ 1 ” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 2
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors examined their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was identified that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 3 If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 4
5 They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
A.Laughter can prolong one's life.
B.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh.
C.The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.
D.It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet.
E.Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still cannot put this theory into clinic practice.
F.Laughter is the best medicine.
G.They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One night, Ryder saw his mother Annie crying and learned she could no longer afford her last chemotherapy (化疗). He broke his piggy bank and offered her all his savings. Although it touched Annie's heart, she told him it wasn't enough. Ryder was so disappointed and hurried to the washroom to cry alone. It hurt him terribly to see his mother, who had long hair, was now bald (秃头的).
In an attempt to emotionally support her, Ryder shaved his head.“Oh my God, Ryder!” Annie cried after seeing him. She was moved by what her son had done by sacrificing his hair. “Mom, I am with you in this way. And you are not alone,” Ryder cried along, knowing little he would be laughed at by his friends the next day.
A school fair had been organized in the playground, and many people, including parents, were gathering around the stalls (摊位).“Hey, look!Someone in our class has lost all his hair!” Ryder's friends laughed when he arrived.
Ryder shyly covered his head in a hat. He was carrying two bags stuffed with some of his favorite toys, books, and recycled craft items he intended to sell at the fair.
As time passed, things were quickly getting sold in all the other stalls except Ryder's. He didn't find time to put up a fancy display or banner (横幅) to attract buyers. But he was determined to make a sale for his mother. So he took out a pen and a giant piece of paper and created a sign that read: Help My Mom Fight Cancer.
“Please help me. I shaved my head to support my mother. But all are making fun of me without understanding me. And I have to sell these items and help her with some money. Please don't let me down,” he shouted. The fair was about to end, and fortunately, Ryder had managed to successfully sell most of his items.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
He was about to leave when his three friends surrounded him.
“Ryder, please take this as well.” He heard a parent calling him.

6.which 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词Brittle作补充说明,关系词在从句中作主语,因此应用关系代词which。

1.B 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“In the first experiment, researchers performed functional magnetic resonance (磁共振) imaging scans of the brain and questioned 24 adults after an eight-hour-sleep night and after a sleepless night.”和第四段第一句“The second experiment tracked 136 healthy adults over four nights and asked them questions about helping the following day.”可知,前两个实验是在个人层面上进行的。故选B。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The scans showed that areas of the brains associated with social cognition—our thought processes related to other people—were less active with sleep loss.”和第四段最后一句“The effect held for them, too.”可知,前两个实验的结果是一样的。故选C。
易错归因 本题容易误选B,B选项的意思是“我们的大脑会因为缺乏睡眠变得不活跃”,但第三段最后一句的意思为“扫描检查表明大脑中与社会认知相关的区域——我们与他人相关的思维过程——在睡眠不足的情况下变得不那么活跃”,B选项曲解文意。
3.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“‘We're starting to see more studies, where the effects of sleep loss don't just stop at the individual, but extend to those around us,’ said Eti Ben Simon, a scientist who co-wrote the study, in a news release. ‘If you're not getting enough sleep, it not only hurts your own well-being, but hurts that of your entire social circle, including strangers.’”可知,根据Eti Ben Simon说的话可知,研究人员进行这样的研究是因为睡眠不足的影响比我们认为的要大。故选C。
4.D 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Empathy and generosity are two qualities that arguably make the world go round. But a study suggests that the willingness to help crashes when people get too little sleep.”并结合文章主要介绍的一项研究“当人们睡眠太少时,帮助别人的意愿就会崩溃”可知,D选项“睡眠太少会让人不够慷慨”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。

2.G 由上文“Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body.”可知,G选项“他们已经发现笑真的能改善人们的健康”承接上文,符合语境。故选G。
3.D 由上文“Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors examined their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was identified that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.”可知,设空处承接上文,继续说明研究人员发现的笑对身体健康的具体影响,D选项符合语境。故选D。
4.C 根据前文“The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program.”可知,设空处解释笑为什么会缓解疼痛,C选项“笑之所以能减轻疼痛,似乎是因为它有助于在大脑中产生一种化学物质,这种化学物质能减轻压力和疼痛”符合语境。故选C。
5.B 根据后文“They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.”可知,设空处要说明医生通过让病人笑来起到治疗的效果。故选B。
