I rushed out to make peace, but before I got there, Charles had begun to fight over this. Even David, the old

16、Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble failing and staying asleep ,as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night
17、also said they had more trouble failing asleep and feeling refreshed after a nights sleep than 8 - hour sleepers.3 These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good nights rest may not need to set aside. More than 8
18、hours a night, He added that“ it might be a good idea“ for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research isneeded to confirm this.4 Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sl
19、eep - for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.5 For the current report, Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires, in which participant
20、s indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems. Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night, arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep, and having fatigue interfere with day - to - day functioning.6 Kripke found
21、 that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours. In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence, he added
22、that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed. “It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then theyll spend a higher percentage of time awake. “he said.A.

26、ly been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that waywas it through training and practice, or are great players “born, not made“?

27、 history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cupthree from South America and three from Western Europe. There has never been a great national teamor a really great player from North America or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di S
28、tefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood (聚居区)a poor, crowded area where a boys dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, f
29、amous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beatles (甲壳虫乐队.), had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a “ball“ made of rags (破布). And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall i
30、n the slums (贫民窟) of Belfast.All great players have a lot in common, but that doesnt explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele.

36、 suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random. Where you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.The res
37、earch team interviewed a national sample of 1,031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days, people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time, and people with college de
38、grees reported stress 44 percent of the time.“Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health,“ lead researcher Dr Joseph Grzywacz, of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement. “The downward turns
39、in health were connected with daily stressors, and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged. “Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and
40、chronic.“If something happens every day, maybe its not seen as a stressor,“ Grzywacz says. “Maybe it is just life. /（分数：15.00）(1).Stress level is closely related to_Afamily sizeBsocial statusCbody weightDwork experience（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The 1,031 adults were interviewed_Aon a daily basis for 8 da
