Once again, science supports what your grandmother told you: A good night's sleep helps your body fight a cold.
People who averaged fewer than seven hours of sleep per 1 in the weeks before being exposed to the cold virus were nearly three times 2 likely to get sick as those who 3 eight hours or more, a new study found.
Researchers used frequent telephone 4 to track the sleep 5 of more than 150 men and women aged 21 to 55 over the course of a few weeks. Then they 6 the subjects to the virus, quarantined them for five days and kept 7 of who got sick.
8 sleeping more, sleeping better also seemed to 9 the body fight illness: Patients who fared better on a measure 10 as 'sleep efficiency' - the percentage of time in bed that you're actually sleeping - were also 11 likely to get sick.
The results held 12 even after researchers 13 for variables such as body-mass index, age, sex, smoking and pre-existing antibodies to the 14 .
15 your grandmother, the researchers aren't exactly sure 16 sleeping better makes you less likely to 17 a cold. But they 18 take a stab at the answer: 'Sleep disturbance influences the regulation of proinflammatory cytokines(促炎细胞因子), histamines, and other symptom mediators that are released in response to infection.' In plain English, maybe tossing and turning when you're 19 with the cold virus 20 to the symptoms that define a cold.
The researchers were based at Carnegie Mellon, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Virginia, and the study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

“ I’d like to be at a healthier weight , ” a friend told me . “ But we just don’t have the money to buy expensive diet foods and there isn’t enough money to join a gym .” Many people feel that way—that a healthy diet and exercise plan is out of reach because of their high cost . Don’t lose hope ! We’ll be looking at ways to make healthy choices without spending too much money .
First you don’t need to buy the expensive pre-prepared “ diet foods . ” Back in the early 1970s when I started housekeeping , 90% of the food I bought was ingredients . Very few things were preprocessed(预处理的). Now 90% of the food you find in the store is quick food . That’s a bad thing .
Quick foods like boxed “ just add hamburger ” meals have had the fiber removed to make them faster to prepare . Take a look at the label on that box . It often has low numbers listed under “ fiber ” because fiber takes longer to digest . If the low fiber meal is digested , the result is that your body begins to store fat . Besides , your body is short of nutrients(营养物质). You will be driven to eat more to try to make up for the low quality of the food you are eating .
And then there are the chemicals the producers add to the quick meals to make them palatable . If not , the stuff would taste like cardboard and you wouldn’t enjoy it . However , these chemicals certainly aren’t good for your health .
What’s the answer ? Buy whole ingredients and give up the expensive , low nutrition , processed foods . Do the cooking yourself and you will have control over what is in your food —and it will cost less , too .
【小题1】People who find it hard to get a healthier weight think .
A.they had too much diet foods |
B.they didn’t make a detailed plan |
C.they have no time to do exercise in gym |
D.they can’t afford diet foods and to exercise in gym |
A.it contains too much fat | B.it makes people eat less |
C.it has low fiber | D.it takes longer to digest |
A.fresh | B.delicious | C.healthy | D.simple |
A.control the amount of food |
B.eat more processed foods |
C.cook food for themselves |
D.choose cheap ingredients |
A.①/②③④/⑤ | B.①②/③④/⑤ | C.①②③/④/⑤ | D.①/②③/④⑤ |
A good night’s sleep in the early years of life could be very important in preventing a child becoming obese, say scientists. Babies and pre-school children who sleep for less than ten hours a night are more likely to be overweight when they are older, research has found. Experts believe that those who do not get enough sleep are more likely to feel hungry and want more calorie-rich food during the day.
Former research has linked sleeping with obesity in adults and teenagers, but this is one of the first to look at very young children. Researchers from the Universities of Washington and California looked at the sleeping habits of almost 1,000 children under the age of five. They found those who had less than ten hours’ sleep were twice as likely to be overweight five years later.
Childhood obesity has doubled over the past 10 years. A quarter of secondary school pupils are now judged to be so overweight that their health is in danger. Experts believe sleep, or lack(缺乏)of it, could be a major cause of this. On average children are sleeping for an hour less than they did 30 years ago. Last year Chinese researchers looked at more than 5,000 youngsters and found that those who were able to catch up on (补充)sleep at the weekend were far less likely to get body weight problems. Scientists have also found a link between lack of sleep and diabetes(糖尿病). Last year Canadian researchers discovered those who did not get seven or eight hours’ sleep a night were two and a half times more likely to become sick.
1.The underlined word “obese” in the first paragraph may mean .
A.quite protective B.very sad
C.very fat D.quite young
2.According to Chinese researchers, if a person who lacks sleep can get more sleep during weekends, .
A.he won’t get hungry easily B.he will feel tired all the time
C.there will be little chance of him becoming fat
D.it will be very hard for him to fall asleep at night
3.From the passage we know .
A.too little sleep will result in illness besides obesity
B.in the past people didn’t connect sleep with weight
C.fat children must have slept less than 10 hours five years ago
D.most children are unhealthy because of little sleep
4.What would be the best title of the passage?
A.A good night’s sleep helps the development of kids’ brain!
B.Ten hours’ sleep prevents overweight in kids!
C.Children are sleeping much less nowadays!
D.More teenagers get weight problems!
5.Where can you most probably read this passage?
A.In the latest news. B.In a children’s book.
C.In a health magazine. D.In a scientist’s diary.
