The low level of melatonin we experience in winter when light is dull and daylight hours are shorter is said to be cause of that common feeling many people get in dull weatherwinter depression.

31、又影响社会生活，甚至可以影响更大范围人们的命运。 从特定角度看报纸可以说是政府的工具。它把握人们的心理和道义感，使之为己所用。它可能起到教育、鼓励和帮助的作用，也可能起到恰好相反的作用。因此，它的存在不仅是物质的，也是精神的；它的性格与影响力主要取决于这两个力量的平衡。它可以以利润或力量作为它的第一目标，也可以认为自己在履行一项更高的、要求更严的职能。 报纸的特点颇为微妙、难以描述，存在许多不同的层面。它不可言传只能意会，是过去行为和理念渐渐沉淀积累而形成的。 报纸必须确保提供的消息是准确无误的，否则会自毁灵魂。无论报道什么，不报道什么，以什么方式报道，报纸均应使事实真相清楚明白，不得有任何歪

32、曲。评论固然享有自由，但事实是神圣不可动摇的。通过“宣传”这种方式做所谓“宣传“是可憎的。反对派和支持派有同等权利发表意见。评论也理应自我约束。说的坦率固然好，说的公正则更佳，这是一个理想状态。在这些问题上做好很不容易，也许我们大家谁都无法通过满意的方法达到理想的标准。我们所能做的只是尽力而为，做得不好就请求原谅，把问题放下继续前进。 报纸的优点之一，也许是最主要的优点，就是它的独立性。不管它的立场和特性如何它都应有自己的灵魂。 这就是自尊之路，也是一条成功之路。此项工作谈何容易!各种生活需求、事件丰富多彩，层出不穷。对每一需求每一事件又该如何及时反应?要获得成功和卓越也是极其可能的! 至于报

33、业工作人员，不管他在什么职位，都不能只满足于次佳。而追求完美，能力和性格就起到关键作用。而正是依赖于此，报纸才不会有辱其力量和使命。)解析：3.Scientists Shed New Light On The Body“ s Rhythms Have you ever suffered from jet-lag, the fatigue and depression that comes from long hours spent in a jet aircraft traveling across the world over many time zones?

39、 reach and away from the eyes, which is where many scientists had believed circadian rhythm is determined.（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： 科学对人体节奏有新发现 你有没有患过时差综合症，即由于长时间坐喷气飞机环球飞行跨越过很多时区而感到疲倦和沮丧?你有没有像北欧国家的很多人一样患过冬季忧郁症，即由于在阴郁的 12 月和 1 月老是看到冬日阴沉灰暗的天空而感到郁闷?也许一点点光就能解决你的问题而且只需要照射你皮肤上一小块地方。实际上，美国科学家已竭尽全力进行研究用光照射受试者的膝

40、盖后部，试验光在提神方面的作用。 对付时差综合症和冬季忧郁症的东西可能是荷尔蒙褪黑激素。目前已知荷尔蒙褪黑激素能调节人体节奏。它于夜幕降临时分泌，可用于帮助治疗时差综合症和睡眠紊乱。冬天光线昏暗、白昼时间短，人们褪黑激素分泌较少，据说这就是许多人在天气昏暗时普遍有这种感觉(即冬季忧郁)的原因。 许多年来，专家们一直在试验用光治疗时差综合症和季节性情绪失调(“冬季忧郁证”)。他们建议患者坐在模仿太阳光自然波长的灯光下，以恢复褪黑激素。1996 年，哈佛大学医学院的戴安娜?波文及其同事发现即使是昏暗的台灯也可以起到同样的作用。 动物和人接触光都会引起体内复杂的反应。纽约一个大学的研究小组说他们发现

41、光照射在皮肤上会重新调整体内的生物钟。他们选择了膝盖后部做试验是因为那儿容易接触到而且远离眼睛，许多科学家认为那个部位决定着人体节奏的周期。)解析：4.There is simply no way to rest on our past achievements.
