23、nic-American（拉丁裔美国人）men and women aged 18 to 81. The researchers measured their abdominal （腹部的）fat, at the start of the study and again five years later.Among the people younger than 40 in the research, the study found, those who said they slept for five hours or less each night gained more fat than

24、 those who averaged six or seven hours of sleep. Those who slept eight hours or more in bed each night also showed a bigger fat gain but it was not a as much as that seen in “short sleepers.”The findings, according to the lead researcher Dr. Kristen, support the belief that sleep habits affect weigh

25、t and health in general. “Sleep is an important part of your overall health, not just in whether youre tired during the day, ” he said.As for why sleep time might affect abdominal- fat gain, there are several facts:People who get too little sleep may be too tired during the day to exercise, while th

26、ose who spend a lot of time in bed may spend less time being active, comparing to people who sleep fewer hours.

30、meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: Life isnt fair. Its a bummer, but its absolutely true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday i

31、t will be. Its not and it wont.One of the nice things about surrendering (承认) to the fact that life isnt fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know its not “lifes job” to make everything perfect its our own challe

32、nge. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt a different hand; everyone has his own strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel c

33、heated or unfairly treated.The fact that life isnt fair doesnt mean we shouldnt do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. Instead, it suggests that we should. When we dont recognize or admit that life isnt fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves. Pi

34、ty is a self-defeating (自我挫败的) emotion that does nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isnt fair, however, we feel compassion (同情) for others and for ourselves. And compassion is a heartfelt emotion that delivers loving- kindness

35、to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the unfair world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can push you out of self- pity and into helpful action.58. The word “a bummer” in the first paragraph probably means _.A. a chanceB. a

36、 disappointmentC. a choiceD. an embarrassment59. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. We cannot just feel sorry, but take actions.B. We may feel worse when we realize the unfairness.C. Life will become fair someday through our great efforts.D. Pity is a self- defeating emotion deliver

37、ing loving- kindness.60. The best title for the passage is _.A. Push You out of Self- pityB. Face the Problems in Your LifeC. Encourage Yourself to Do the BestD.
