Researchers presented a piece of advice to new mothers, saying that women who want to lose the extra weight gained in pregnancy should try to get more sleep . They found that mothers who slept five hours or less a day when their babies were six months old were three times more likely than more rested mothers to have kept on the extra weight at one year. “we ve known for some time that lacking sleep is associated with weight gain and obesity in the general population, but this study shows that getting enough sleep - even just two hours more - may be as important as a healthy diet and exercise for new mothers to return to their per-pregnancy weight, said Erica Gu nderson of Kaiser Permanente , which runs hospitals and clinics in California.Gunderson and colleagues studied 940 women taking part in a study of prenatal and postnatal health at Harvard Medical School in Boston.The women who slept five hours or less a night when their babies were six months old were likely to have kept on 11 pounds (5kg) of weight one years after giving birth, they found.Women who slept seven hours a night or more lost more weight, they reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology The researchers acknowledged this may make new mothers feel puzzled, given that their babies sleep so brokenly.“With the results of this study, new mothers must be wondering, “How can I get more sleep for both me and my baby?

She had olive skin, dark hair and handsome features. The girls whispers got louder and louder. Mary Lou made eye contact with no one as she walked by our table , chin held high with iron determination.After school, the girls invited me to join them in front of the school. I was thrilled to be a member of the club. We waited for what I didnt yet know. Arms wrapped around her backpack, Mary Lou came. The laugh began from the girls. I joined in. My momentum ( 势头 ) began to pick up as I approached her. Bad remarks fell from my lips. The other girls stepped back and became my cheerleaders. Suddenly I caught the strap (背带 ) of her backpack and then pushed her . The trap broken, Mary Lou fell and I backed off. Everyone was laughing and patting me. I was not proud. Something inside me hurt. Mary Lou got up, gathered her books. She held her head high as blood ran down from her knee. I watched her limping away down the street. I turned to leave with my laughing friends and noticed a man standing beside his car.

They are known as the House of Representatives(众议院) and Senate (参议院) . The House of Representatives is larger than the Senate whose 100 member (two from each state) serve for six years. The 435 members of the House are elected every two years, and the member from each state is determined by the population of the state. For example, California , which has a large population , has forty-three representatives. The state of Nevada (内华达 ) had only one. The House and the Senate are divided into small groups which take care of special matters such as education or foreign affairs. The most important task of the Congress is often done in these groups, which are called committees. According to the constitution of the United States, a senator must be at least thirty years old and he must have been a citizen of the United States for nine years at the time of his election. To be elected to the House a person must be twenty-five years old and must have been a citizen of the United States for seven years. At the present time, members of the Congress include businessmen, famers, teachers, and especially lawyers. In general, Senators are better known than Representatives because they are fewer in number and serve for a long time. Many American Presidents served in the Congress before they became presidents of the United States. President John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon were all representative and then Senators becoming presidents. 49.In the United States, the Congress _.A. writes articles B. writes novels C. make documents D. makes rules of conduct action 50.The passage tells us the Congress consist of _ members A.1000 B. 435 C. 335 D. 53551.The 100 members of the Senate come from _A. 40states B.45states C. 50 states D.55 states 52.Those who are elected to the House must be _ and must have been a citizen of the United Stated for _ years A. 35; 9 B. 25; 7 C.35; 7 D. 25; 9 D. A gentle breeze blew through Jennys hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up the ball. She was amazed by its color.The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this is what she needed.” Its getting late, she thought,” I must go home, my parents will be wondering where I am .”She wondered how her parents would react , when she got home after the three days she was missing .
