There is a never-ending flow of fun things to do. But, people who live there do no

18、t always enjoy the day-after-day absence of sunshine during the winter months. It is a documented fact that sunshine (or lack of it) plays a major role in how each of us meets the day. It also affects how we perform at school or work. When people are deprived of（失去） sunlight, they can develop season

19、al affective disorder, which makes it difficult for them to feel happy or get things accomplished. No major city in the United States is more affected by the “sunshine factor” than Seattle.To fight drizzle and fog during the winter months, Steve Murphy created a business that is very popular among t

20、he locals. The Indoor Sun Shoppe is more than a little ray of sunshine during the gray days of Seattles winter. His shop offers a huge source of plants and artificial lighting for people who are trying to overcome seasonal affective disorder. Located in Fremont, Washington, The Indoor Sun Shoppe has

21、 an amazing collection of exotic (奇异的) plants and “good bugs” in a humid and well-lit environment. At The Indoor Sun Shoppe, you can spend up to $400 for artificial lighting that will chase away the winter blues. It will also keep your plants healthy.

22、ually fill your room with a warming wake-up light. What better way to meet a Seattle morning when real sunshine is nothing more than a happy thought!Murphys in-home waterfalls are also popular with customers.

27、during winter monthsC. brings only a little ray of sunshine during the gray days of Seattles winterD. offers variety of goods helping people overcome seasonal affective disorder BA new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults l

28、ive healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression . The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and hig

29、her risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding

30、 their feelings and opinions. They wont tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During gr

31、owing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of d

32、epression - eating or mood changes - and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid i

36、word for adults. D. Romance is good for young people. CNew research shows that overweight or even mildly obese people have a lower risk of early death than people considered to be normal weight.Researchers examined the results of 97 studies. Most of the studies were less than 10 years old. They incl

37、uded almost three million adults from around the world, including the United States, Canada, China, Taiwan, Brazil, India and Mexico.The researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics found that people who are considered overweight or slightly obese were five to six percent less likely to

38、die from all causes than people of normal weight. People with higher obesity ratings, however, had almost a 30 percent greater risk of death compared to normal-weight individuals.Katherine Flegal was the lead author of the study. She says she was not surprised that overweight people would not have a

39、 higher risk of death.“Because wed actually already read a lot of this literature and realized it was likely that mortality rates (死亡率) for overweight would be at least not higher than normal weight. I guess I was a little bit surprised that it was definitely lower. And I was also surprised that the

40、 lower rates of obesity also didnt seem to differ from normal weight.”But she says the difference in death rates appears to be small between normal-weight people and those who are overweight or mildly obese.The study has raised new questions about “body mass index,”（体重指数） or BMI. This is a measureme

41、nt of body fat as a ratio（比率） of height to weight. In recent years, many public health experts have promoted body mass index as a way to predict the risk of health problems. But a persons BMI can be misleading in some cases.Steven Heymsfield ,the executive director of the Pennington Biomedical Resea

42、rch Center, says people can be physically fit and in good health, but might weigh more because they are more muscular.Still, Dr. Heymsfield says people should not think gaining extra weight is OK just because of the new findings. He says being at a healthy weight lowers the risk for heart disease an

Not all people with a little higher BMI are fat .C. Many public health experts encourage more people to use BMI as a way to predict the risk of health

46、problemD. Because of the new findings, people should think about gaining extra weight.DOnce again, rumors are spreadingJudgment Day, this time, is set to happen on December 21st, 2012The date originated from the Mayan calendar, but actually gained popularity through the hit movie, 2012How will the w

47、orld end? And how do we know the exact date? There are many theories: A meteoroid （流星体）from outer space; a solar storm; a shift in the earths poles; bla bla blaThey all supposedly pointed to the date of December 21st, 2012Unfortunately, none of it is trueZhu Jin, director of Beijing Planetarium, sai

48、d, For earth itself, the end will be billions of years away from nowAnd for us humans, there is a very small chance that we may be affected by some astronomical factorsHowever, we dont have the ability to foresee such events so farSo when someone tells you the world is going to end on an exact date,

49、 it must be fakeBut the truth hasnt stopped people from believingIn the sci-fi movie 2012, the director imagined the end of the world based on the Mayan calendarThe film earned nearly 770 million US dollars worldwide.
