体裁：科普文 话题：健康生活 词数：350 时间：6′
Sleeping in a room with too much light has been linked to an increased risk of gaining weight，a study shows.A team at the Institute of Cancer Research in London found women had larger waistlines if their bedroom was
“light enough to see across” at night.However，they say there is not enough evidence to advise people to buy thicker curtains or turn off lights.
The women were asked to rate the amount of light in their bedrooms at night as：Light enough to read.Light enough to see across the room，but not read.Light enough to see your hand in front of you，but not across the room.Too dark to see your hand or you wear a mask.Their answers were compared to several measures (程度) of obesity.These measures were all higher in women with lighter rooms.
Prof Anthony Swerdlow of the Institute of Cancer Research told the BBC：“In this very large group of people there is an association between reported light exposure at night and overweight and obesity.But there is not enough evidence to know if making your room darker would make any difference to your weight.There might be other explanations for the association，but the findings are interesting enough to guarantee further scientific investigation.”
The light is disrupting (干扰) the body clock，which comes from our evolutionary (进化的) past when we were active when it was light in the day and resting when it was dark at night.Light changes moods，physical strength and even the way we process food in a 24hour cycle.
Prof DerkJan Dijk，from the Surrey Sleep Centre，said there would be no harm in trying to make bedrooms darker.He told the BBC：“People in general are not aware of the light present in their bedroom，I think people should assess their bedroom and see how easy it would be to make it darker.” “Overall this study points to the importance of darkness，” he concluded.

体裁：议论文 话题：726 时间：8′
Is gun play good or bad for children？For many years I emphasized its harmlessness.When concerned parents expressed doubt about letting their children have toy guns，because they didn't want to encourage them in the slightest degree to become criminals，I would explain how little connection there was.In the course of growing up，children have a natural tendency to bring their aggressiveness more and more under control if their parents encourage this．Onetotwoyearolds，when they are angry with another child，may bite the child's arm without hesitation.But by 3 or 4 they have already learned that aggression is not right.However，they may pretend to shoot their mother or father，but smiling to assure them that the gun and the aggressive behaviour aren't to be taken seriously.
In the 6to12yearold period，children will play an earnest game of war，but it has lots of rules.There may be arguments，but real fights are relatively rare.At this agechildren don't shoot at their mother or father，even in fun.It's not that the parents have turned stricter; the children's own conscience has.In adolescence aggressive feelings become much stronger，but well broughtup children can turn them into athletics and other competition or into kidding their friends.
In other words，I'd explain that playing at war is a natural step in the disciplining of the aggression of young children; that a cautious parent doesn't really need to worry about producing a criminal.
But nowadays I'd give parents much more encouragement to guide their child away from violence.A number of incidents have convinced me of the importance of this.
One of the first things that made me change my mind，several years ago，was an observation that an experienced nursery school teacher told me about.Her children were hitting each other much more than previously，without reason.When she talked to them，they would protest，“But that's what the Three Stooges do.” (This was a children's TV program full of violence which immediately became very popular.)
What further shocked me into reconsidering my view was the assassination(暗杀) of the former President，and the fact that some schoolchildren cheered about this.(I didn't so much blame the children as I blamed the kind of parents who will say about a President they dislike，“I'd shoot him if I got the chance！”)
These incidents made me think of other evidence that Americans often tolerate lawlessness and violence.We were hard on the Indians and the later waves of immigrants.At times we denied justice to groups with different religions or political views.And now a great percentage of our adult as well as our child population has been endlessly fascinated with dramas of Western violence and with cruel crime stories，in movies and on television.This doesn't necessarily mean that we Americans on the average have more aggressiveness inside us than the people of other nations.I think rather that the aggressiveness we have is less controlled，from childhood on.
To me it seems very clear that in order to have a more stable and civilized national life we must bring up the next generation of Americans with a greater respect for law and for other people's rights than in the past.There are many ways in which we could and should teach these attitudes.One simple opportunity we could seize in the first half of childhood is to show our disapproval of lawlessness and violence in television programs and in children's gun play.
I also believe that the survival of the world now depends on a much greater awareness of the need to avoid war and to actively seek peaceful agreements.There are enough nuclear arms to completely destroy all civilization.This terrifying situation demands a much greater stability and selfcontrol on the part of national leaders and citizens than they have ever shown in the past.We owe it to our children to prepare them deliberately for this awesome responsibility.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了孩子们该不该玩玩具枪，并规劝人们尊重孩子、尊重法律，减少孩子的暴力性。
25．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refers to________．
A．controlling their aggressiveness
B．playing with toy guns
C．aggressive behaviour
D．the course of growing up
答A [细节理解题。根据文中该句话中的their
aggressiveness more and more under control可知选A。]
26．Based on the author's view about the relationship between children's aggressiveness and their age，which of the following is true?
A．A 2yearold boy knows that it is not correct to behave aggressively.
B．The older children become，the less aggressive they will be.
C．6to 12yearolds enjoy war games but develop them into argument and serious fights.
D．Adolescents' aggressiveness is often displayed in the form of competition.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据文中第一段的Onetotwoyearolds，when they are angry with another child，may bite the child's arm without hesitation 排除A；第二段的In the 6to12yearold period，children will play an earnest game of war，but it has lots of rules排除C；第二段At this age children don't shoot at their mother or father，even in fun 排除B；第二段In adolescence aggressive feelings become much stronger，but well broughtup children can turn them into athletics and other competition or into kidding their friends 可知成年人的暴力总是通过竞争的方式传递给孩子。故选D。]
