1、1阅读理解提升练(九)A(2018浙江绍兴 5月模拟)Dr.Paul Kelley,a sleep expert,and his colleagues,including well-known Oxford sleep researcher,Professor Russell Foster,presented an interesting theory at the British Science Festival in Bradford.They said that school days should start at 10:00 and university at 11:00 to be
2、tter match the biological rhythms of adolescents and young adults.Dr.Kelley said most people wake up to alarms because they have to go to work.In fact the body clock of most people between the ages of 10 and 20 is not well suited to rising early.This means insisting on an early start can lead to a l
3、ack of sleep,which in turn can affect learning and health.Adolescents in particular are the most affected,which is “a huge society concern”.Dr.Kelley and his colleagues are leading a project called Teensleep,which is currently looking for 100 schools from around the UK to test the idea.The Teensleep
4、 experiment,which is funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Education Endowment Fund,will randomly divide its 100 schools into four groups.One group of schools will shift(转换) their school days for 14-16-year-olds to a 10:00 start.Another group will offer “sleep education” to their students.This involv
5、es helping students and staff “realize wise ways of making their sleep good sleep”,such as avoiding screen-based activities in the evening.The third group of schools will introduce both a later start and sleep education,while the fourth will make no such changes.The experiment will start in the 2018
6、-2019 academic year,and the researchers plan to report their results in 2020.Dr.Dijk,a professor of sleep and physiology at the University of Surrey,cautioned that shifting the school day might be of limited use without changing other habits that affect our sleep,especially nighttime light exposure.

9、mans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years,but Dr.Jean-Loup Rault,an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia,believes new companions are coming:robot pets.“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News,“The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was real
10、ly the first robotic pet,and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”This may not sit well with pet lovers.After all,who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy?But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it:“You dont have to feed it;you dont have to walk it.
11、It wont make a mess in your house,and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.”The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets,short on space,or fearful of real animals. Its not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones.But studies do suggest that we can bond(紧密联系) with these
12、 smart machines.People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories.Its the same with robots.When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014,owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher,Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could a
13、ffect our attitudes towards live animals.“If we become used to a robotic companion that doesnt need food,water or exercise,perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,”he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past,as Rault predicts?For those who grew up with living and breath
