14、 your health. While exercise is a big part of reducing the harmful effects of sitting, it was unclear how many gym periods were needed to help until now. A new study, published in The Lancet, shows the ideal formula for reducing the negative effects of a sedentary（久坐的）job. Instead of a fixed number

15、of hours spent exercising, the ratio（比率）depends on how much you sit: people who work a typical eight-hour day should spend at least one hour each day moving. If you sit six hours a day, you should spend half an hour exercising. The research also indicates that the exercise doesnt have to be all once

16、 or rigorous（严格的）. It can be spread throughout the day and be as simple as walking.

C C “One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger,” says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the U

30、niversity of Oxford. By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that mom quit the right way-by stopping abruptly and completely. In her Study, participants were randomly(随机地) assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut

31、 down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy(疗法) with a nurse before and after quit day. Six months later, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it-more than one-fifth of them, compared to abou

32、t one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support. And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said theyd rather cut down gradually before quitting. “If youre train

33、ing for a marathon, you wouldnt expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think, “Well, if I gradually reduce, its like practice,” says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasnt the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely g

34、ave them addiction and withdrawal symptoms(脱瘾症状) before they even reached the day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if youre ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,” says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you

35、can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, thats acceptable. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says. People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success. 28. What d

39、hat people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the first night effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigat

40、e the origins of this effect. Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that t

41、hese animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment

42、of the universitys Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than th

43、ey did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as the

44、ir right hemispheres did. Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular b

45、eeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found. 32. Wh

46、at do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research? A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep. B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way. C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins. D. She conducted studies on birds and dolphins sleeping pa

47、tterns. 33. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment? A. She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment. B. She recruited (招募) 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences. C. She studied the differences between the two sides of partic

48、ipants brains. D. She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects. 34. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment? A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains. B. She recorded participants adaptation to changed environment. 江苏徐州高二英语下册第一次月考试卷 6 / 9 C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli (刺激物). D. She compared the responses of different participants. 35. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment? A.
