1、 Different from common belief, blue light may not have a strong negative effect as people thought-according to the scientists from the University of Manchester.
It's known that our body clock measures brightness through melanopsin( 黑素蛋白 ) , a specialized light sensitive protein in the eye. So there has been lots of interest in studying the influence of light on the body clock. Researchers changed the make-up of short and long wavelength light, which provided a small difference in brightness, as well as changes in color. Findings suggested blue light might be troublesome to our sleep patterns.
The new research, however, used a different method, since the changes in color may oppose the benefits from reducing the brightness signals detected( 探测 )by melanopsin. The team used specially designed lighting to change color without changing brightness.
Findings of the new research showed that blue colors produced weaker effects on the subjects' body clock than equally bright yellow colors. "Our recognition of color comes from the retinal cone cells( 视网膜锥形细胞 ) , and the blue color signals they supply reduce the influence of light on the body clock," explained the lead researcher. "The research shows the common view that blue light has the strongest effect on the body clock is misguided.”
According to the team, using dim( 昏暗的 ) , cooler lights in the evening and bright warmer lights during the day may be more beneficial to ensure healthy patterns of sleep. Twilight( 暮光 )is both dimmer and bluer than daylight and the body clock uses both of those features to decide on the proper times to be asleep and awake.
The findings have important suggestions for the design of lighting and visual displays which aim to promote people's sleep patterns. Present technologies are mostly designed to limit our evening exposure to blue light by changing the screen color of mobile devices. The technology, however, may send the body clock mixed messages. This is because the small changes in brightness they produce come along with colors that are commonly seen during the day. So there's more for the designers to take into consideration.
Setting our body clocks in line with our social and work schedules can be good for our health, and using color correctly could be a way to help us better achieve that.
1 . The writer mentions different research methods in Paragraph 2 and 3 to________.
A . suggest how the data of the research should be collected
B . explain why the findings of the old research are reasonable
C . discuss possible ways of studying the influence of blue light
D . show the progress in the methods used in the studies of blue light
2 . According to the new findings, what should the designers take into consideration?
A . The changes in both colors and brightness.
B . The influence of the daylight on sleep patterns.
C . The suggestions on the proper use of mobile devices.
D . The balance between technologies and the body clock.
3 . What can we learn from the new research?
A . Blue light cannot he easily detected by the body clock.
B . Blue light has the weakest effect on people's body clock.
C . Blue light is not as harmful to their sleep patterns as people thought.
D . Blue light benefits people more in their sleep patterns than yellow light.
2、 Athletics vs. Gardening
The students of Southside School were asked to give their opinions about whether the school should run an athletic program or start a vegetable garden.
An athletic program is hatch better than gardening. How are we ever going to win anything at the Inter-School Athletics without proper training? At the moment, we only do athletics for one tam and the teachers train us. We need experts(专家)to teach us things like throwing and high jump.
I know lots of kids say they're tot interested in competitions, but that's because they've never won anything. If they got better training and started winning things, they'd soon change their minds.
People always say kids don't get enough exercise. Just because you do gardening outdoors doesn't make it exercise, so I don't sec how it matters.
Athletics is much better for fitness and lots of kids can have a go at the same tine. I don't think there would be enough jobs for everyone in a garden.
In fact, I think a garden is a really bad idea. I don't know why we're even considering it.
Liz, Grade 8
I think a vegetable garden is a great idea. We already do hours of sport, including athletics. And not everyone likes sport.
Gardening is a great way to get exercise without worrying about whether you're any good at it, or whether you're going to win. And you really do gel exercise when you garden. There's digging, weeding and watering Even picking things can be hard work – pumpkins aren't light you know!
There are lots of kids around here who don't have gardens so they can’t grow things even they want to. If you really want to do more sport, you can join a club.
And think about it: What helps you to be good at sport? You need to eat lots of fruit and vegetables. If we learn to cook all the things we grow, the garden will keep us all fit and healthy and then we’ll be better at sport.
Sam, Grade 8

32.Why does Sam say, "And think about it.: what helps you to be good at sport?"
A.To change the subject. B.To introduce his next reason.
C.To support Liz's idea. D.To find an answer to the question.
3、 “Hire me! I’ll do the best for your company,” Lucas Stewart, with a sign on his back, shouted loudly on Bay Street in Toronto. Now it’s becoming more and more difficult to find a job. Do you want not to look foolish or do the wrong things at your new job?
It is important to make the right impression(印象)from the very first day. You will be in a new place. You will face new people. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first day at a new job.
First impression can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has rules about what you can wear to work. If so, be sure to follow them. No matter what, always be neat and clean.
Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra(额外的)15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time. Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to your co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.
Ask questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you about your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals(目标)for yourself.
