16、010上海市崇明县二模）(C)A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag. Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane. Jet lag interferes with a persons normal times for sleeping and waking. People with jet lag may feel extremely tire
17、d for several days. They also may have problems thinking clearly and remembering.Kwangwook Cho is a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain. He reported the findings of his jet lag study in the publication Nature Neuroscience.The study involved twenty young women who worked for internatio
18、nal airlines. The women had served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their hom
19、e areas between long flights. The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas.Mister Cho took some fluid from the womens mouths to measure levels of a hormone that increases during stress. He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen.
20、And he took pictures of their brains using magnetic resonance imaging. This is a way to measure the size of the brains temporal lobes（颞叶）.It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what
21、 is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones.Mister Cho says he believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their abilit
