Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.
1.What does the text mainly discuss?
A.Pets’ value in medical research.
B.How pets help people calm down.
C.People's opinions of keeping pets.
D.What pets bring to their owners.
2.We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting
well if .
A.he has a pet companion
B.he has less stress of work
C.he often does mental arithmetic
D.he is taken care of by his family
3.According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when doing stressful tasks?
A.They have lower blood pressure.
B.They become more patient.
C.They are less nervous.
D.They are in higher spirits.
4.The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that .
A.people with dogs did more exercise
B.dogs lost the same weight as people did
C.dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D.people without dogs found the program unhelpful

Sleep is just as important as diet and exercise, and not getting enough sleep can lead to obesity, heart trouble and other health problems. Now scientists are adding more wake-up call to that list: lack of sleep damages the brain.
People who regularly have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep (one study drew the line at 6.8 hours ) show changes in brain-----actual shrinking(缩小),in some cases--- in area important for memory and problem solving.
“We’ve always believed that we can take the weekend to catch up and be fine,” says Sigrid Veasey, a researcher in University of Pennsylvania, but that may not be the case. When she stopped mice from sleeping for 3 days, they lost 25% to 30% of the neurons (神经元) important for focused attention---- and these remaining were damaged. What’s more, these brain cells never grew again.
Clearly, something important is happening while we sleep, but exactly what sleep does for the brain has been a mystery. That’s why scientists got excited when researchers at the university of Rochester Medical Center recently offered a new theory. While observing the brains of sleeping mice, they discovered a kind of brain-cleaning system that clears away neural waste, the buildup of which is connected with Alzheimer’s.
In another study, young healthy people whose sleep was limited to 7 hours per night for one week showed damaged brain function. Scarier is that with long-lasting short sleep, you may feel fully rested. When study subjects were limited to 4 hours of sleep for 5 days, they reported feeling very tired following the first night but they didn’t get any sleepier after that.
What’s more, a 15,000 –person study found that getting an average of less than 5 hours of sleep per night for several years resulted in a decrease in memory performance equal to the brain aging 2 years.
Have we persuaded you to turn in early tonight ? Excellent.
1.The text is mainly about _________.
A. how lack of sleep damages our brain.
B. why we feel rested without enough sleep.
C. how much sleep we should get every day.
D. Why we have trouble falling asleep sometimes.
2.Sigrid Veasey’s research shows that ________
A. lack of sleep doesn’t affect our attention.
B. damaged brain cells can not recover.
C. sleeping on weekends can make up for lost sleep.
D. most neurons will die if we sleep poorly for 3 days.
3.According to paragraph 5, after several days of short sleep people may feel _________.
A. tired B. sleepy
C. energetic D. angry
4.According to the 15,000-person study, lack of sleep may cause ___________.
A. heart trouble B. obesity
C. death D. memory loss

This weekly four-day physical activity schedule will get your kids excited about being active.
Tuesday
When the kids get home from school, don’t let them go straight to the TV and get settled in. Encourage them to get moving and get off the couch(沙发) by giving them a pedometer(计步器). Pedometers are the most fun when parents also use one because that turns stepping, walking and running into a game to see who can get the most steps.
Thursday
The kids have done a great job so far this week, but now they long for a little more TV time. Instead of turning on cartoons, let them watch fitness movies made just for kids. These movies encourage watchers to get up and dance along to kid-friendly music.
Saturday
Get the whole family out of the house together and over to a park. Bring lots of sports equipment, pack a healthy picnic and have a family competitive sports day. Kids and adults get into groups and play against each other in tennis, basketball or soccer. After everyone has played hard for a couple of hours, stop for a picnic and then if your family isn’t too tired, go back and play some more.
Sunday
Every child loves to play video games and there is no better time to allow kids to play them than on Sunday when no homework is due. But don’t let them play a game that forces them to sit down for hours. Dance games with a floor mat(垫子) to help kids follow the dance moves are popular to kids.

How to Build Your Own Website
Sixty years ago, people asked about your astrological (星座) sign. 1. These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address. Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.
2.Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.
While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout (编排). 3. Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, texts; and links to other websites follow.
Before you start building your site, do some planning. Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. 4.
Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.
While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind:
◆5. If you aim too high at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add something new to your site.
◆Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of texts online. Break it into small pieces.
◆Smaller is better. Since it takes a long time to download large picture files, keep the file sizes small.
Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building. Learning the net communities helps provide tools to help you build your site.
A. Start simply.
B. A personal website is not usual today.
C. Nowadays, they want to know your website.
D. Pay attention to the contents of your website.
E. At the top of the page is a banner (横幅) GRAPHIC.
F. Next, gather up the material you want to put on the site.
G. Think of your home page as the starting point of your website.
