We already knew that not getting enough sleep can lead to an increased risk of getting sick, but Nathaniel Watson, a neurologist and sleep specialist at the University of Washington School of Medicine, said this new research helps explain why. Sleeping poorly can block specific genetic processes in the cells that make up your immune system, which is responsible for fighting off infections and diseases, according to the new study. “Your immune system is not functioning the way it was meant to when you are deprived of sleep,” Watson said. This study is the first one that Watson and his colleagues are aware of that looks at what happens to the immune system’s DNA when you’re not getting adequate sleep. The researchers followed 11 pairs of identical twins for the study. One twin reported sleeping at least seven hours per night, while the other slept approximately one hour less per night. Looking at identical twins helped control the fact that sleep needs vary by person, Watson explained. Genes account for about 50 percent of our sleep needs, meaning identical twins are the best-case scenario (方案 ) for getting a good parison. The researchers took blood samples at the end of the study, which revealed that the immune system of the twin who slept less was less active than the twin who slept more. Those who slept less were actually making fewer proteins, the molecules that our bodies run on. “They had an under-performing immune system,” Watson said of the shorter sleepers, “which would put them at higher risk of getting sick.” To control other potential factors that could affect sleep need and immune health, the researchers didn’t include people from the study who had diabetes, depression or other mental health problems and sleep disorders. They also left out shift workers, smokers, drug users and drinkers. 9. What do the underlined words in Paragraph 2 mean? A. change sleep pattern. B. benefit from sleep. C. have to sleep. D. lack sleep. 10. Why did the researchers choose identical twins for the study? A. To find participants more easily. B. To make the results more accurate. C. To make the study more interesting. D. To show sleep needs vary by person. 11. What does the author most probably want to show in the last paragraph? A. Many factors can lead to sleep disorder. B. The findings of the study can be reliable. C. Poor sleep could lead to many problems. D. The findings of the study remain to be tested. D My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole．Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety． Still, the firefighters first words "You need to e up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: “ Your son is OK．” When I got to the river, I immediately saw the fire truck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine． I hurried over to him. "You OK?"I asked． “Yeah," was all he said．But my eyes begged for an explanation. I didnt get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest． The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore． In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son．The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didnt mean they have no desire to do good． Still shocked by my sons daring, I drove him home.Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him - but he had precious little to say.The only words he said were, “Whats for supper?" I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half wanted him to tell me the story.But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep. 12．Why did the mother allow her son to swim there? A．He was an excellent swimmer. B．The water of the river is shallow. C．He was old enough to swim. D．The rocks can be of help if theres danger. 13．The underlined part "who tends to play his cards close to his vest" probably means ________ A．Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids B．Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks C．Anton always has a desire to help others D．Anton seldom changes his mind 14．In the mothers eyes, what her son did was__________ A．dangerous but interesting B．meaningful but difficult C．unexpected and courageous D．a(chǎn)wful and absurd 15．What might be the best title for the passage? A．My Son, My Hero B．Anton, A Silent Boy C．A Good Deed D．A Proud Mother E Are you looking for a young adult novel? If you’ re, here are some good choices for you. The Harry Potter Series If you’re a grown-up and still haven’t read the Harry Potter novels, you don’t know what you’re missing. J.K. Rowling’s tale of the English boy wizard shouldn’t be missed.

This trilogy by Suzanne Collins is set in the post-apocalyptic (后末世) country of Panem, where children are selected annually to participate in a televised, fight-to-the-death battle called The Hunger Games.
