Night owls, people who stay up late and struggle to get out of bed in the morning, are more likely to die sooner than morning larks, the first study into their death rates has found.

New research by the University of Surrey and Northwestern University in the US found that people who naturally stay up late were 10 per cent more likely to die within the six-and-a-half-year study period compared to those who preferred the morning.

Researchers say that the ongoing stress of operating in a traditional 9-5 society was having a huge effect on millions of people and could be shortening their lives.

“This is a public health issue that can no longer be ignored,” said Malcolm von Schantz, a professor of chronobiology at the University of Surrey. “We should discuss allowing evening types to start and finish work later, where practical. And we need more research about how we can help evening types deal with the higher effort of keeping their body clock in line with sun time”.

The research involved nearly 500,000 Brits aged between 38 and 73 and found that around nine per cent considered themselves evening people, while 27 per cent identified as morning types.

In the new study, Scientists found owls had higher rates of diabetes, psychological disorders and neurological disorders. But the team has previously shown that whether someone is an owl or a lark is half genetic and half environment, meaning there may be ways to keep body clock issues under control.

The team recommends that night owls can help themselves by trying to become exposed to light early in the morning and not at night. Keeping regular bedtimes, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and trying to do tasks earlier in the day can help to reset body rhythms.

The study was published in the journal Chronobiology International.

1.What docs the underlined word “their” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Night owls’　　 B. Morning larks

C. Researchers’　　 D. Scientists’

2.What can we know from Malcolm’s words?

A. People who stay up late may die before age 7.

B. Staying up late is no longer a public health issue.

C. When people should start work will be discussed later.

D. More research is needed to help solve the problem.

3.Which of the following is not suggested by the research team?

A. Get up early.　　 B. Make full use of morning hours.

C. Get exposed to sunlight more often.　　 D. Go to bed at a fixed time.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To tell the differences between two types of people.

B. To introduce readers the result of a new research.

C. To warn night owls of their bad genes and environments.

D. To argue morning larks usually live longer than night owls.

That is to say, callers do not have to say their names or telephone numbers. Most hot lines are free. Callers do not have to pay for the advice or the phone calls. At some hot lines, the advisers are volunteers. Other hot lines pay their advisers for their work.

How do you get a man to do his share of the housework? If you are like most women, you’ve faced this question the hard way.

A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually won’t make the effort to clean or organize it. This doesn’t mean that a woman has to do all the housework; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partner’s joining. A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility for housework.

Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and it’s important that you give your man appreciation(欣赏) for those things, too. Most men will take on a little housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do , and do it without being monitored(监视).

Here is the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or they simply want to please their women. Men are less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a housework task just for the good of the house.

1.The passage is mainly about how to ________.

A．get men to do some housework            B．get men to serve their families

C．praise men’s housework                 D．get men to do all the housework

2.According to a passage, a man _______ .

A．is willing to do housework

B．likes to be told to do housework

C．is taught to be responsible for housework from childhood

D．likes a clean house but doesn’t make effort to clean it.

3.In order to get men to do housework, women should often ________ .

A．order them to do their share              B．ask them to do some housework politely

C．blame men’s laziness                   D．monitor men’s work

4.According to the passage, the underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that men won’t __________ .

A． work without any payment               B．do unimportant housework tasks

C．do housework with women’s praises       D．please their wives

5.According to the passage, which of the following would a husband most probably like to ?

A．Cleaning the table                       B．Doing some washing

C．Painting the fence                       D．Asking his wife to work on the yard.
