40、entists claim. 36 Getting fewer than six hours sleep per night can switch off genes in the body according to a new study.Our bodies depend on genes to produce a constant supply of proteins which are used to replace or repair damaged tissue, but after a week of lacking in sleep some of genes stopped
41、working. 37 Scientists from Surrey University divided 26 volunteers into two groups, one of which slept for less than six hours per night for a whole week, and one of which slept for ten hours per night.

42、ere studied to examine the effects of their sleep states. 38 Although a weeks normal sleep was enough to restore the affected genes to their normal pattern, researchers said that long periods of sleeplessness could lead to serious health problems including heart disease. 39 Prof Colin Smith, one of
43、the authors of the new paper, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, said, This is only a week of short time sleeping and it is only five and a half or six hours night.

54、节，以使行文连贯。62.A. J. shut the door of the truck. “Ready,” he said. His dad started the truck. It was six oclock and freezing, but the strong morning sun promised warmer temperatures. It had been colder than normal over the past week, and the ground and ponds were already frozen. “After we check on the
55、cows,” Dad said, “you should have some time to practice roping cattle.” A. J. wanted to enter the rodeos () in which cowboys rode wild horses, and caught cattle with ropes. The best professionals could break from the gate on horseback, rope a calf(), and hog-tie the calf in less than ten seconds. So
56、 far, A.J. needed nearly a minute and a half, but hed only been at it for a few months. The truck bounced down the dirt road. In a few minutes, they passed through the field gate. A. J. pulled a pair of telescopes. The black spots of cows on the far hill took shape. The cows gathered around the pond
57、. A. J. guessed they wanted the water locked under the ice. Suddenly, they heard extremely frightened shouts from one cow. Dad stopped the truck, and he and A. J. stared at the frozen pond anxiously. A calf lay on the ice in the middle of the pond. A cow, no doubt the calfs mother, stood onshore, sh
58、outing desperately. The calf struggled to get up but slipped and fell each time. The morning sun seemed warmer. Too warm. A. J. knew that the situation was urgent. If the calf lay there too long, she could fall through the ice and drown. Dad eased the truck down the hill and stopped at the edge of t

An atmosphere of sadness blanketing the whole world, every nerve in A. J.s body screamed at him that he must save the poor calf. All of a sudden, an idea came into his mind
62、 like a flash.Paragraph 2:It would be just like rodeo practice, A. J. thought, trying to stay calm. He rushed to the truck to grab the rope quickly, aimed it at the calf and let it go. Luckily, he made it at the first attempt! With palms sweating, he and his dad struggled to pull the calf out of the frozen pond. After what seemed like a century, they managed to save the calf. Seeing the calf running to her mother happily, A. J. felt comforted and glad that what he had learned helped save a life.
