On Midsummers Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early mornin

25、g and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the News of the World over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows brok

26、e into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains. It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips(鞭子)in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry ani

27、mals would bear. Together though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their makers. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen these animals act

28、like this before.

The second room was intended to look average. The third room was designed to be beautiful. Individuals were then

33、asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of peoples faces. The results indicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way people rated the faces.

35、 concentrate. One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors, listed in order of preference, were blue, green, purple, red and yellow. The colors listed from most to least arousing were red, orange, yellow, violet, blue, and green. Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim

36、 lighting create a mood of intimacy(亲密) that encourages conversation. The bright lights of an office or classroom, on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.

37、nvironment. The ideal environment depends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present.

41、even music and temperature can affect peopleDChinese students arent the only ones who have a sleep loss problem. In Australia, teenagers are also missing out on, on average, one hours sleep every night during the school week. Organized activities and homework push bedtimes later, the first large-sca

42、le Australian study of childrens sleeping habits has revealed (显示). Their sleep deprivation (剥夺) is enough to cause “serious drop-offs in school performance, attention and memory”, and governments should consider later or flexible school start times, said the studys leader, Tim Olds. His survey, of

43、more than 4,000 children aged 9 to 18, found those who slept least did not watch more television but spent their time socializing (相处) with family or friends or listening to music. “Almost all children get up at 7 or 7:15 they have to get to school on time,” said Olds. He favors a later start over a

44、n earlier finish because he believes organized sports and activities would still consume the latter end of the day. Olds research also establishes lack of sleep as a cause of weight gain in children, and a possible source of future problems with depression, anxiety and increased susceptibility (易感性)

45、 to illness. It was already known that overweight children sleep less, but Professor Olds found sleep duration(时长) was strongly linked to weight across the full range of body sizes. The thinnest children sleep 20 minutes more than the obese. This showed being overweight had no specific effect on sle

46、ep patterns, and it was more likely that shorter sleep times stimulate (刺激) appetite and make kids hungry. The US National Sleep Foundation says teenagers aged 13 to 18 need eight to nine hours sleep a night. Younger school-aged kids need 9 to 11 hours. On that basis, Professor Olds said, half of Au

47、stralian children are under-sleeping on weekdays and a quarter on weekends.56. The Australian students surveyed dont sleep enough because they spend more time on the following EXCEPT _.
