37、ul effect on our bodies and, guess what, how much we sleep switches good genes(基因) on and had genes off. In the first half of 2013, the Sleep Research Centre at the University of Surrey found a direct link between hours spent sleeping and genes. Every cell in our bodies carries genetic instructions
38、in our DNA that act as a kind of operating handbook. However, each cell only “reads” the part of this handbook it needs at any given moment. Can sleep affect how a gene reads instructions? Its a question asked by Professor Derk-Jan Dijk at the University of Surrey. He set up an experiment and asked
39、his volunteers to spend a week sleeping around seven and a half hours to eight hours a night and the next sleeping six and a half to seven hours. Blood samples were taken each week to compare which genes in blood cells were being used during the long and short nights. The results were rather surpris
40、ing. Several hundred genes changed in the amount they were being used, including some that are linked to heart disease, cancer, and Type 2 diabetes. Genes to do with cell repair and replacement were used much less. Sleep restriction(six and a half to seven hours a night) changed 380genes. Of these,
41、220 genes were down regulated (their power was increased). Those affected included body-clock genes which are linked to diabetes(糖尿病). One of the most downgraded genes is that which has a role in controlling insulin(胰岛素) and is linked to diabetes and insomnia(失眠). The most upgraded gene is linked to
42、 heart disease.So changing sleep by tiny amounts can upgrade or downgrade genes that can influence our health and the diseases we suffer from when we sleep too little. The important message is that getting close to eight hours of sleep a night can make a dramatic difference to our health in just a f

Changes of genes and diseases. D.Genes and health.33.What can we learn about Professor Derk-Jan Kijks experiment?A.
44、 The experiment was carried out to find the answer to how genes affect sleep.B. The experiment took a period of more than two weeks to reach a conclusion.C. His volunteers were divided into two groups with two different sleeping patterns.D. Blood samples of the volunteers were checked afterwards to
45、decide how many genes changed in sleeping. 34.Which of the following may be concluded from the passage?A. The experiment was performed at the University of Surrey in early 2013.B. Body-clock genes are associated with heart disease, cancer and Type 2 diabetes.C. Sleep restrictions may contribute to d

The reading comprehension is no problem. You are communicating quite fluently. 36First of all, remember that you are not alone.
49、 Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So, the most important thing is to listen as often as possible. 37The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealM, which allows
50、 you to use the Internet like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. 38 Here is some of the advice I give my students: Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything. Keep cool when you do not unders
