    　　The finding, published in Science magazine, offers a new direction for studies on how sleep affects health．Experts say adults need seven to nine hours of sleep for good health, while teenagers and kids need more．People who don't get enough sleep are more likely to get sick and suffer from memory loss．

    　　In 2001, scientists at the University of California discovered a mutation(突变)in a gene that causes people with that gene to have very unusual sleeping patterns．These people go to bed around 7∶30 pm and wake around 3∶30 am．

    　　Now the team has found a gene that affects how long a person can stay asleep．In the family they studied, the 69-year-old mother and her 44-year-old daughter usually went to bed around 10 pm．The mother woke up around 4 am, and her daughter woke up around 4∶30 am．Both of them felt fully rested．

    　　Blood tests showed the women have a mutation in a gene named DEC2, which regulates the body's clock．

    Attention all Chinese challengers to the Indian with the world's longest ear hair (4 inches) or the Americans who smooched（拥抱）their way to the world's longest kiss (30 hours, 59 minutes, 27 seconds) -- your day has come. And this time it's official.

    The Guinness Book of World Records landed in China on Thursday, bestowing 10 awards on record-breaking people and places and for the first time permitting a local firm to look for more.

    The London-based institution has a law case against a Shanghai company which borrowed the Guinness label, said Stewart Newport, the Keeper of the Records.

    "It's unfortunate that some people may have been misled, but hopefully this will correct it," he said.

    Guinness has signed an agreement with the Liaoning Education Press, based in the northeastern city of Shenyang, to publish the Chinese-language edition of its record book and review applicants for future editions, Newport said.

    Guinness first published its record book in 1955．The reference now claims to be world's best selling copyrighted book with sales of more than 94 million copies in 37 languages -- only the Bible, not exclusively copy written, has sold more.

    Most of China's new record-holders were long overdue.

    They include athletes like diver Fu Mingxia, who became the world's youngest sporting champion at the tender age of 12 in 1991 and is unlikely ever to be beaten.

    And since July, 1980, a movie house has been screening the classic "Love on Lushan Mountain" four times a day, everyday, to tourists in the picturesque Jiangxi province setting which gave the film its name. Guinness researchers took more than two months to determine to their satisfaction that no other theater had continuously shown the same film as long.

    1．The diver Fu Mingxia was included in the Guinness Book of World Records because _____.

    　 A．she was the most famous athlete in the world

    　 B．she was the world champion in diving

    　 C．she was the world's youngest sporting champion

    　 D．she had become world champion for many times

    2．A movie house in Jiangxi Province was included in the Guinness Book of World Records because _____.

    　 A．it was located in a beautiful place—Lushan

    　 B．there were many tourists seeing the film every day

    　 C．it had made a classic film “Love on Lushan Mountain”

    　 D．it had continuously shown the same film every day since July, 1980

    3．Which statement is true according to the text?

    　 A．Many China's new record-holders were not in the Guinness Book of World Records before it landed in China.

    　 B．The Bible is the best selling copyrighted book in the world.

    　 C．Liaoning Education Press was admitted to be included in Guinness Book of World Records.

    　 D．If you want to be included in the Guinness Book of World Records, you can apply for it with your local government.

    4．Which is the best title of the passage?

    　 A．The Guinness Book of World Records

    　 B．Guinness to Look for More Records in China

    　 C．Guinness Includes New Records

    　 D．The Chinese in Guinness
