Doctors sometimes prescribe light therapy to treat a form of depression in people who get too little morning sun. But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders. Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals.

The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center. Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes——that can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.

In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks，“ a sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed，” Bedrosian says.

In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of “behavioral despair”，10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light-dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also could quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting (注射) the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.

Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can’t easily detect molecular underpinnings (分子基础) as animal studies can，says George Brainard of Thomas Jefferson University. The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be “an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior. ”

68. After being exposed to continuous nighttime light，the mice _____.

A. changed their preferences

B. escaped from the water more eagerly

C. remained active as before

D. showed less interest in their favorites

69. What does the underlined word “quash” in Para. 4 probably mean?

A. study         B. predict         C. ease             D. cause

70. We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.

A. light at night may have practical value

B. the biological clock is beneficial to humans

C. human mood disorders cannot be healed easily

D. human studies are more important than animal studies

71. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Nighttime light may foster (促进) depression.

B. A drug has been found to cure mood disorders.

C. The study on animals can be applied to humans.

D. Human biological clock can be controlled by light.

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.

I no longer consider myself the center of universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I was a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约)mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.

So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who loves you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking for granted.

It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.

I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.

72. How did the writer form her view of life?

A. Through social experience      B. Through an unfortunate experience

C. By learning from her friends    D. From her children and husband

73. The sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live.” means that people tend to _________.

A. waste a lot in life                B. make a living rather live a real life

C. work rather than enjoy life         D. forget the most important lessons in life

74. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.

A. The author likes travelling very much

B. The author did not try her best to work well

C. The author spent all her time caring for children

D. the author is a success in personal life

75. The best title for this passage probably is______.

A. Love your friends                   B. Live a real life

C. Don’t waste time                    D. Be a good wife and mothe

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。

Love and fear are opposite emotional attitudes that shape our life in very different ways. The psychoanalyst John McMurray describes the difference like this:

“The fear-determined have no sun in themselves and go about putting out the sun in other people. The love-determined have life in them, abundant life. They are the people who are really alive.”

Life is a lot more beautiful and vivid if it is determined by love and not by fear. I’m sure you can imagine that someone determined completely by love would be a kind of saint. In contrast, most of us ordinary human beings are determined by both forces, love and fear. However, in my experience, even a tiny shift towards love—and away from fear—can make people feel much happier.

Here are 5 tips that you can move towards love and away from fear.

Develop appreciation

Appreciation makes us feel happier. If you remember to be grateful for the blessings of your life, you start to feel more connected to yourself and others. When you let go of worries and embrace gratitude instead, love springs up.

Test your fear’s reality

Sometimes fear can be like a cloud that keeps out the sunlight. Then everything feels huge and oppressive. It’s like living in a shadow-land, peering into the future and expecting bad things to happen. A simple way to deal with fear is to test its reality. Write down three things that you are afraid of. Then look at each point and ask yourself, “Is this fear really grounded in reality?” I know that when I do this, I often find that my fears are unfounded.

Take action

Fear is often born out of inaction(懒散). For example, if you get a sense that you are unfit, but you don’t check it out with a doctor, you may start to imagine that you are heading for a major health crisis. Once you’ve been to a doctor and reviewed the problems, the steps towards renewed health may seem much more manageable.

Develop friendships

Good friends are important because they teach us to love. It‘s often much easier to love a good friend than it is to love and forgive our partner. Friends are lasting companions in life. It’s good to talk with them when we feel afraid. They can give us a fresh perspective on what is troubling us.

Practise kindness

Kindness is ‘love-in-action’. It’s good to make a habit of it. The trick is to notice what people need. Here is an example: yesterday I was talking to a stall-holder at a farmers’market. He saw that I was carrying a bag of fresh corncobs. He said, “Oh, they look nice!” Then he sighed, “Oh well, by the time I’ve finished selling at my stand they’ll have all gone.” I offered to get some for him. It was a small action but it made us both feel good. Try and spot one occasion each day when you can be of help.

If you follow these 5 tips, you’ll move towards more love and less fear in your life. Soon you will notice an rise of happiness and contentment, instead of fear and anxiety.

Recently I have learned from the Internet that traffic accidents happened frequently, which mainly resulted from drunk driving.

Many drivers think they have the luck to avoid accidents. As a matter of fact, no one can afford to risk their lives driving after drinking. Drunk driving will not only threaten the lives of the drivers as well as other people, but also make their family suffer from anxiety caused by it. In addition, drunk driving is against the law and more and more people are punished for it.

In a word, for the sake of the safety of all people and the happiness of your family, please don’t drive after drinking.
