They are more (41) stressful experiences than are children living with continuously married parents. (42) scholars define st
19、ress in somewhat different ways, most assume that it occurs when external demands (43) peoples coping resources. This results in feelings of emotional distress, a(n) (44) capacity to function in school, work, and family roles, and an increase in physiological indicators of arousal. Economic hardship
20、, incompetent parenting, and loss of (45) with a parent can be stressful for children. Conflict between nonresident parents appears to be particularly harmful when children feel that they are caught (46), as when one parent speaks ill of the other parent in front of the child, when children are aske

Every professor on campus assigns a paper the same week. Volunteer work and social activities fill the calenda
25、r. Before long, an assignment is due in the morning, so what else is there to do? Brew a pot of coffee and begin another of that most storied of college traditions: the all- nighter.Many college students have found themselves in this position. Although studying late into the early hours is a pretty
26、well-accepted part of college life, the scientific consensus is clearinsufficient sleep is bad for a students performance, happiness and health.Sleep is one of the bodys most vital processes, affecting everything from muscle strength to memory span. Sleep increases blood flow to muscles and repairs
27、damaged cells. A recent study indicates that college basketball players perform better on the court if they sleep at least ten hours the night before. Sleep consolidates memories and prepares the brain to performstudents who get more sleep can improve recall ability and actually do better on tests.H
28、ow much sleep a person needs varies, but Dr. William DeMent from Stanford University says college students need over eight hours per night. With assignments piling up, many students end up constantly sleep deprived. Students accumulate a “sleep debt“ that can get larger over time and can only be “pa
29、id off“ by getting the amount of sleep the body needs. Naturally, a persons body would force them to get enough sleep by making them feel sleepy. But caffeine, stimulants, pressing deadlines encourage students to ignore the bodys natural signals and go without sleep far longer than they should.Its e
30、asy to get caught up in the excitement and stress of college life and to get in the habit of getting to bed later and later. But pushing bodies and schedules to their limits does not come without cost. In the short-term, sleep deprivation affects mood, mental ability and physical performance. It dec
31、reases reaction time and makes a person more easily distracted. Thats bad for test taking, and even worse for students who are driving. In the long-term, not getting enough sleep can sacrifice your health and shorten your life span by causing irritability, frustration and proneness to mistakes, asso
32、ciated with high blood pressure, obesity and heart failure. There are more than enough reasons to hit the sack early tonight!（分数：6.00）(1).The expression “all-nighter“ in the first paragraph refers to those students who_.A. sleep soundly the whole night B. stay up all night studyingC. spend the night
33、 drinking coffee D. dont come back for the night（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It can be concluded from this passage that_.A. sleep is of great importance to college studentsB. most college students refuse to go to bed earlyC. college students go to bed late only occasionallyD. most colleges force students to
34、 work at night（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The harm that insufficient sleep does to test-takers is that_.A. they feel sleepy during the testB. they forget what is learnedC. they become lazy thinkersD. they are left inattentive（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).This passage implies that sleep deprivation is_among college
35、students.A. rare B. commonplaceC. negligible D. justified（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The underlined words in the last paragraph probably mean_.A. get down to work B. see a doctorC. take some medicine D. go to bed（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(6).What is this passage mainly concerned with?A. College students need to imp
36、rove their work efficiency.B. Test-takers are to have sufficient sleep before a test.C. Sleep deprivation has much adverse effect on students.D. College students should never stay up late working.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.At the beginning of a countrys rise out of backwardness and poverty, more wealth does m
37、ake a difference. However, citing surveys from China and South Korea, economist Richard Easterlin points out: “In these countries, per capita income has doubled in 20 years but overall happiness does not seem to have followed the same path.“ Economists are surprised, because GNP has long been though
38、t the best indicator of human welfare. More GNP generally means more money for most people, and more money improves the quality of life, and that means happiness.But, perhaps, the survey suggests that more money can make you happy only if those around you do not share in your good fortune. General p
39、rosperity may fail to enhance individual contentment. Perhaps it is a matter of being aware of your advantage, not that you need to get the highest salaries or be the object of envy. Maybe, individual goals vary too much to be generalized. Maybe one has nothing at all to do with the other. Freud was
40、 well aware that economic success did not make people happy. Most psychoanalysts and therapists today would agree. He thought only the realization of a deep childhood desire could provide such satisfaction.Another problem is that people are poor reporters of their own states of mind. They will usual
41、ly tell you what they themselves want to believe. To know if someone is really happy or not, you have to catch him or her in the act of happiness. Being happy or acting happy are more reliable indicators than thinking too much about it.Professional therapists also know that what makes people happy d
42、efies explanation, but what prevents them from being happy doesnt. Poor self-esteem undermines all feelings of success. Hunger and cold make it harder to relax and enjoy ones experience. Insecurity and failure to engage in ones work leave one dissatisfied. Anxiety penetrates all our perceptions and
43、feelings, and brings us down.Economists can probably hope to measure how well our basic needs for security and health are met in society, and if those are reasonably OK, people tend to find the happiness they seek. Most of us want to enjoy life, spend time with our children, play at sports, sing, da
44、nce and travel.If we can do those things without dread, the amount of money we have is irrelevant.（分数：6.00）(1).It seems to Richard Easterlin that higher GNPA. will certainly make people happierB. depends on the overall level of happinessC. does not necessarily add to peoples happinessD. is a good in
45、dicator of human happiness（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the second paragraph, individual happiness arises from_.A. setting a high goal B. the respect from your neighborsC. common prosperity D. your superiority over others（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Freuds doctrine is mentioned to show that_.A. goals va
46、ry from person to personB. a happy childhood means life-long happinessC. psychoanalysts and therapists think alikeD. wealth does not always make one happy（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. our feelings of happiness tend to be the sameB. there are few people who are rea
47、lly happyC. people sometimes dont know exactly how they feelD. thinking about happiness can make you feel happy（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Professional therapists believe that_.A. it is easy to explain what makes people happyB. it is easy to tell what leaves people unhappyC. it is difficult to tell who is
48、happyD. it is hard to distinguish happiness from unhappiness（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(6).The authors conclusion is that_.A. happiness is sometimes independent of wealthB. money can add to individual happinessC. it is possible to determine if money means happinessD. happiness has nothing to do with wealth of

These new drugs will literally have the ability to disrupt an
