It seems parents have long been right. Going to bed early is key to getting enough sleep and helping teenagers feel on top of the world,a new study reported.
A lack of sleep among youngsters may cause depression (抑郁) and suicidal (自杀的) thoughts,according to the study by the Columbia University Medical Center.
“Our results are in agreement with the theory that a lack of sleep is a risk factor for depression,working with other risk factors through many different possible pathways to the development of this mood disorder,” said lead author James Gangwisch.
“Enough quality sleep could therefore be a preventative measure against depression and a treatment for depression,” he added in the study published in the Friday issue of Sleep magazine.
The study followed the nightly habits of some 15,659 college and high school students and found those who frequently went to bed after midnight had a 24 percent higher risk of depression than those who slept before 10∶00 pm.
Night owls also ran a 20 percent higher risk of battling suicidal thoughts,the study added. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends that teenagers should sleep at least nine hours or more a night. Those who went to bed before 10∶00 pm reported they slept on average about eight hours and 10 minutes.
But that amount of sleep dropped for those in bed after midnight. And teenagers who slept five hours or less a night were 71 percent more likely to suffer depression and 48 percent more at risk of becoming suicidal,the study said. “It is a common belief and societal expectation that teenagers do not need as much sleep as those younger,yet studies suggest that teenagers may actually require more sleep,” said Gangwisch. “Studies have found that teenagers do not go to bed early enough to make up for earlier school start time,which has been shown to be associated with significant sleep deprivation (剥夺). ”
1. Which of the following phrases can replace the underlined words “feel on top of the world” in Paragraph 1?
A. Overcome many difficulties.
B. Feel too sleepy.
C. Be independent.
D. Feel very good.
2. Who runs the highest risk of depression and becoming suicidal?
A. Teenagers who sleep before 10 pm.
B. Teenagers who get to school at 9 am.
C. Teenagers who have less than five hours’ sleep.
D. Teenagers who go to bed at midnight and get up at 6 am.
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Studies show that teenagers may need as much sleep as those younger.
B. It is found that earlier school start time contributes to teenagers’ severe lack of sleep.
C. James Gangwisch believes that lack of sleep is the main risk factor for youngsters’ depression.
D. The American Academy of Sleep suggests that teenagers should sleep at least eight hours a night. .
*4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Enough sleep can cure depression.
B. Enough sleep is important for people.
C. Youngsters should not be made to go to school too early.
D. Youngsters may suffer depression due to a lack of sleep.
*三、概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A group of scientists led by Song Mingyang at the Massachusetts General Hospital analyzed data from two major studies involving more than 150,000 participants to determine whether people who consumed protein(蛋白质) from red and processed meats had a significantly higher death rate than those who got their protein from plants. The analysis of the 32?year Nurses’ Health Study, followed by the Health Professionals Follow?Up Study at Harvard University,didn’t just look at the diets of the participants over a year. It stared repeatedly—specifically how often they consumed portions of particular types of food during the previous years—every four years.
Song’s team found that a 10 percent increase generally in proteins from animals resulted in a 2 percent increase in death,and an 8 percent rise in death risk from heart disease. But a 3 percent increase in protein from plants led to a 10 percent decrease in death and a 12 percent drop in risk of death from cardiovascular?related (心血管相关的) death.
“The findings are clear,” said Song. “A research fellow at the hospital’s Clinical and Translational Epidemiology Unit concluded that plant?based proteins from sources such as beans,nuts,quinoa and seeds are a healthier choice than steaks or beef products such as hot dogs. I wouldn’t suggest that everyone switch to people not eating any animal products. That’s because certain meats—chicken and fish,for example—also result in a much lower death risk overall and from heart disease. ”
“But the traditional American diet,popular with animal products such as burgers,meatballs,meatloaf,steaks,eggs and dairy,is associated with a variety of bad outcomes, ” Song said. In some cases, it’s not just that meat is bad and plants are good. Processed meats are filled with potentially unhealthy additives (添加剂).Song said he set about the study because while others have suggested healthy benefits from a plant?based diet, none looked at the source of protein. “We were able to link information over the years. The data from the two large, long?term studies provided a unique opportunity to look at long?term health outcomes, ” he said.

参考范文:
Some researchers surveyed many people for years to find whether protein from meat or plants brings a higher death rate to human. Researchers have found that protein from plants works better at reducing death rate. But a balanced amount of meat is also good at reducing death rate. Song’s study has stated the source of proteins and figured out the benefits of animal products.

三、写作
参考范文:
Dear Editor,
I’m a senior high school student named Li Hua. Now many students have iPads and think it’s a fashion to use them. Using an iPad, we can listen to music, download a lot of learning materials and read e-books on the screen. Obviously, it’s helpful to our study, especially to our English listening.
Some students, however, bring their iPads to the classroom and listen to music without earphones, which makes the teacher and other students greatly annoyed. Some of them even waste precious time in class playing video games.
In my opinion, as students, we should make good use of iPads to help achieve academic success. The classroom is a place for students to study, and therefore, concentration is greatly needed for us to learn our lessons. Furthermore, the school should make a rule to guide the students to use iPads in a proper way.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
