Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical (临床的) depression. That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.

In the new study American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters (仓鼠) to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.

The animals were divided into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light a third group slept in front of a white light while a fourth was put in front of a red light.

After four weeks the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.

Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep uneasiness at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim (微弱) red light they did not.”

He notes that photosensitive (感光) cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.

He says there’s a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.

1.Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because __________.

A.they are similar to humans in dealing with colors

B.they are easy to observe and study

C.they are sensitive to colors like human beings

D.they are active at night and sleep during the day

2.What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?

A.Their energy level becomes low. B.They don’t sleep well.

C.Their eyesight becomes worse. D.They drink less sugary water.

3.__________ tends to cause hamsters to be depressed.

A.Dim light B.Blue light

C.Red light D.Darkness

4.What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?

A.Equipping their computer screens to put it more in the reddish light.

B.Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers.

C.Living or working in low levels of light overnight.

D.Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Women are on their way to holding more than half of all American jobs. The latest government report shows that their share of non-farm jobs nearly reached fifty percent in September, 2009.

The job market continues to suffer the effects of last year’s financial crash. On the one hand more women have entered the labor market over the years, and on the other hand the economic recession (衰退) has hit men harder than women. In October the unemployment rate for men was almost 11% compared to 8% for women.

Industries that traditionally use lots of men have suffered deep cuts. For example, manufacturing (制造业) and building lost more jobs last month. But health care and temporary employment services have had job growth. Both of those industries employ high percentages of women.

Thirty years ago, women earned sixty-two cents for every dollar that men earned. Now, for those who usually work full time, women earn about eighty percent of what men earn. And a recent study from the University of California, Davis, reveals that women hold fifty-one percent of well-paid management and professional jobs. Yet the study also shows that men still hold about nine out of every ten top positions at most companies. The results have remained largely unchanged for five years.

Also, a new research paper in the journal Sex Roles looks at the experiences of women who are the main earners in their families. Rebecca Meisenbach at the University of Missouri in Columbia interviewed fifteen women. She found that they all value their independence and many enjoy having the power of control, though not all want it. But they even feel more pressure and worry. That is partly because of cultural expectations that working women should still take care of the children. Also, men who are not the main earners may feel threatened.

1.Which of the following is a reason why women have a larger share of jobs?

2.There have been an increasing number of jobs for women in ________.

3.In the late 1970s, if a man earned 500 dollars a month, a woman probably earned ________.

4.If a woman is the main earner in her family, she probably ________.

It’s great fun to explore new places—it feels like an adventure，even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

● Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn or you’ll have to move to the back seat.

● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass , a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies . Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.)in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

1. Sitting beside the driver, you should___________.

A. look ahead to see where there’s a turn

B. direct the driver when necessary

C. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

D. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to

2.Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?

A. To be saved in case of an accident.

B. To get information when in danger.

C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.

D. To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members.

3.Orienteering activities can______________.

A. make people work fast

B. help people organize other activities

C. help people stay healthy

D. make people get prepared for sports

4.The text mainly talks about____________.

A. the fun of exploration
