new study of hamsters.
Tracy Bedrosian, a researcher at Ohio State University, US, presented the research on November 17 at
the annual meeting of the American Society for Neuroscience (神经系统科学) in San Diego.
Researchers believe that even having a dim (暗淡的) light on-such as a night light often used in a child"s
room or the glow (发光) of a TV screen, changes the chemical balance of the brain.
While more work is needed to find out if the results are relevant to human beings, the findings might
explain why night-shift (夜班的) workers are at higher risk of depression than others, the researchers said.?
Over the last century, nighttime lights have become common, but it"s not clear whether sleeping with one
has an effect on the brain.
As part of the investigation, Tracy Bedrosian, a researcher at Ohio State University, and her team, placed
hamsters in two environments. In one, hamsters experienced 16 hours of daylight and eight hours of complete
darkness each day. In the other, the animals experienced 16 hours of daylight, but at nighttime, a dim light was
kept on.
After eight weeks, the researchers tested the hamsters for behaviors that would suggest they were
depressed. For example, they looked to see whether the hamsters still practiced activities they usually enjoyed,
such as drinking sugar water.
In people, loss of enjoyment is known as a symptom of depression.
Hamsters in both groups were given a choice between drinking tap (水龙头) water or sugar water. The
hamsters that slept with lights on at night drank similar amounts of tap and sugar water - they"d lost their
preference (偏好) for the sweet water.
"That suggests to us that they are not getting the same pleasure from drinking their sugar water, and that
may be a depression-like response," Bedrosian said.
Researchers found these changes in behavior were caused by chemical changes in a part of brain called
the hippocampus (海马状突起).
Previous studies on humans have found the hippocampus to be involved in depression. A patient with major
depression has a smaller hippocampus, Bedrosian said.
If the same mechanism (机制) exists in people, then they "might want to try to avoid falling asleep with
their TVs on all night," Bedrosian said.
B. To sleep with the light on.
C. To sleep in a new environment.
D. To sleep after drinking sugar water.
B. Sleeping with the light on affects the human brain.
C. Two groups of hamsters drank similar amounts of sugar water.
D. Hamsters no longer enjoyed drinking sugar water after they had slept with the light on.
B. A depressed patient has a larger hippocampus.
C. People who stay up late at night are more likely to be depressed.
D. The hamsters" behavioral changes were caused by chemical changes in the brain.
B. not to watch TV at night
C. to sleep in total darkness
D. to put an end to night shifts
but 2 is very useful, especially when we travel to other countries. If we go to France, we ought to be able
to speak 3 , and in Germany people will 4 us to understand German.
How many languages are there in the world? There are about fifteen hundred, but many of them are not
very 5 . English is one of the most important languages 6 so many people use it, not only in England and
the USA, 7 in other parts of the world. More than 200,000,000 speak it 8 their own language, and about
another 200,000,000 use it as a second language. It is 9 to say how many people are learning it. Many
millions of school boys and school girls are trying to do so.
English children study French, which is also a very 10 language. An Englishman can 11 find someone
in almost all parts of the world who is able to talk to him in either English or 12 .
Which is the best way to learn a language? We should remember that we all learnt our own language well
when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so 13 .
Think of what a child 14 . It listens to what people say, and it tries to imitate (模仿) what it hears. When it
wants something, it 15 ask for it. It is 16 the language, talking in it, and thinking in it all the time. If people
had to use a second language all the time, they would learn it quickly.
17 is also important to remember that we learn our own language by hearing people speak it, not by
seeing 18 they write. We imitate (模仿) what we hear. In school, 19 you learn to read and write as well
as to hear and speak, it is 20 to learn all the new words first through the ear. You can read them, spell them,
and write them later.

| When we hear the words "college student", we usually think of a young person between 18 and 22 years old. But in the USA today, a college student often is much older. In fact, educators say in the next few years colleges and universities may have more older part-time students than traditional full-time younger students. Educators report a big increase in the number of Americans who attend college and university classes in the evening or at night or weekends. Most of them are older than 25 years old and more have full-time or part- time jobs. Many are in their thirties or forties. Why are so many people deciding to spend their time and money in order to continue their education? Most are doing it because they believe more education will help them to get a better job. Some are industrial workers whose factories have closed. They are learning new skills to prepare for other kinds of work. Some of the part- time students are not pleased with the jobs they have. They are studying for new ones. Some have retired (退休) and are looking for new kinds of jobs. Two of every three of the students older than 35 are women. Many of them are returning to school after years of staying at home to care for children. Are older students good students? Most teachers say yes. They say older students really want to learn. They ask difficult questions and are not pleased with simple answers. They often get high grades. | |||

| Many American schools have a student exchange program with foreign countries. Along with this program, there is usually another one called the "American Host Family" program. As its name suggests, the program gets American families involved in foreign students" lives in America and offers homes for them. Foreign students generally welcome such an opportunity to have a"family" here, but there are also those who prefer to stay "homeless". Many American families volunteer to host foreign students. However, if there is a shortage of host families, schools also get in touch with local people and introduced foreign students to them. The "American Host Family "program changes in lengths of time. It can go from a few days to a few years, depending on each individual school. After the first year is over, it is up to foreign students and their "families" to decide if they want to stay together as a "family". American families can host as many foreign students as they like. They can either have several students or just one at a time. Many families start with new students each year while still keeping in touch with the old ones. Schools usually leave it to foreign students and their host families to decide their activities after both sides meet. My school, however, holds activities every year. On major holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, foreign students are usually invited to their themes for dinner. Even schools that do not have host family programs often arrange students to get together with American families on these special holiday occasions. It is typical that a host family invites its foreign daughter or son over, and they cook the student"s home food together, Undoubtedly, Chinese students are usually considered good cooks, whether or not they are really qualified for such praise at home. Although many Chinese students rarely cooked at home, they often have a hard time making their American friends believe that they cannot cook. It often happens when a Chinese student promises to cook a Chinese meal for his host family, he usually sees a little crowd expecting him: friends or relatives are also invited over for the "special" Chinese food! | |||
