29、. It can be frustrating when childrens sleep habits do not conform to the household schedule.

30、p-wake cycle in children will help alleviate any unfounded concerns. Maintaining a sleep diary for each child will provide the parents with baseline information in assessing the nature and severity of childhood sleep problems. Observant patents will come to recognize unusual sleep disruptions or tho
31、se that persist or intensify. Developmental changes throughout childhood bring differences in the sleep-wake cycle and in the type and frequency of parasomnias that may interrupt sleep. Medical consultation to rule out illness, infection of injury is prudent if the childs sleep problems prevent adeq
32、uate sleep and result in an ongoing sleep deficit. As reported by News-Medical in Child Health News, childrens sleep problems should be taken seriously as they may be a “marker for predicting later risk of early adolescent substance use. In the same article University of Michigan psychiatry professo
33、r Kirk Brower, who has studied “the interplay of alcohol and sleep in adults“ stressed that “The finding does not mean theres a cause-and-effect relationship. “Consultation with a child psychologist may be helpful if frightening dreams intensify and become more frequent as this may indicate a partic
34、ular problem or life circumstance that needs to be changed or one that the child may need extra help working through. Most childhood sleep disturbance will diminish over time as the brain matures and a regular sleep-wake cycle is established. Parental guidance is crucial to the development of health
35、y sleep habits in children.61 To have a journey of discovery with each child, according to the passage, is_.（A）to discover their unique sleep-wake cycles（B） to follow their behavioral preferences（C） to alleviate their sleeping problems（D）to explore their asset62 In the first paragraph, the author su

40、tudy comparing the health of senior citizens in the two countries. The study, conducted by researchers from RAND Corporation in the United States and Institute for Fiscal Studies in the United Kingdom, found that disease and health disorder incidence was higher among U. S. senior citizens, but morta
41、lity rates were higher among English senior citizens. Americans aged 65 and older have almost twice the rate of diabetes found among their English counterparts and more than double the rate of cancer. Nevertheless, death rate among Americans 65 and older is lower. “Americans are a sicker group of pe
42、ople who tend to live longer, “ says James Smith, a study co-author. He attributes the U. S. health problems to lifestyle factors, including poor eating habits and inadequate exercise. Americans tend to eat much larger servings of food, for example, “There is what I call an American plate. When we g
43、o to a restaurant, its a plate I cant even eat any more. Its a plate with so much food on if its not even appealing to me. “Smith also says that English adults are generally much more physically active than Americans. Biking and walking are much common in everyday life in England. He observes that “
44、there is a lot of walking in London, and there is a lot of bicycle riding. I dont see people in downtown Los Angeles on their bicycles“. On the other hand, Englands problem is that doctors fail to diagnose serious conditions early enough. American doctors tend to screen patients for cancer, diabetes
45、, and other illnesses more frequently. Smith notes “American medicine is much more aggressive. It leads to high costs, but it has benefits, too“.66 The studys results indicated_.（A）an urgent call for health promotion among English and American senior citizens（B） health disparities between English an
46、d American senior citizens（C） a close relation between disease incidence and mortality rate（D）a significant rise in mortality rates among senior citizens67 Which of the following is a unique health care challenge for English senior citizens when compared with their American counterparts?（A）A higher
47、death rate.（B） A higher rate of cancer.（C） A higher incidence of disease.（D）A lower tendency to have diabetes. 68 What does James Smith imply by an American plate?（A）A sedentary American lifestyles.（B） American junk foods on the table.（C） A large portion of food consumed by Americans.（D）Severe malnu
48、trition among American senior citizens. 69 The Americans unique health-care challenge according to James Smith, is derived from_.（A）their unusual forms of physical activities（B） their different geographic location（C） their genetic likelihood of obesity（D）their unhealthy lifestyle factors70 Even thou
