30、lifeThe devil（魔鬼）, Mephistopheles, promises him that in return for his soulhe will give Faust unlimited power and knowledgeFaust agrees and experiences all kinds of pleasures, but, in the end, his soul is condemned to hell（地狱）A Faustian bargain therefore is a deal that finally results in ones ruinIt

37、 like Apples iPad and Samsungs Galaxy Note just before bed can lead to a poor nights sleep, according to research. More and more people are taking their tablets to bed with them to surf the web, check Facebook or email before switching off the light. But researchers are warning that the blueish ligh

38、t their screens emit can stop users getting a good nights sleep. That is because this type of light mimics daylight, convincing the brain that it is still daytime. Blue light suppresses production of a brain chemical called melatonin, which helps us fall sleep. This is because our brains have evolve

39、d to be wakeful during daylight hours. By contrast, light which is more orange or red in tone does not reduce melatonin production, perhaps because our brains recognize it as a cue that the day is ending.Neurologists (神经病学家) have known for years that staring at screens late in the evening can disrup

40、t sleep.

Melatonin levels were significantly lower after they had done this, than they were after the volunteers had viewed their iPads for the same time, b

43、ut while wearing orange glass goggles, which cut out the blue light.They wrote in the journal Applied Ergonomics that tablet makers could “tune the spectral power distribution of self-luminous devices (自发光设备的频谱功率分布)” so that they disrupted the sleep patterns of users less.It is not just a good night

44、s sleep that could be jeopardized (危害) by too much late night screen time. Researchers know that persistent disruption to sleep patterns can lead to an increased risk of obesity, and even breast cancer. However, these studies tend to be comparisons of those with chronic (慢性的) sleep disruption, such

45、as long term shift workers, with those who have normal sleep patterns.44. What is it that stops users getting a good nights sleep?A. Screens B. MelatoninC. blueish lightD. Orange or red light45.

The less melatonin our body produces, the easier we fall asleep.D.Orange and red light does no good to a good nights sleep. 47. The writers purpose for writing this artic

48、le is to _.A. complain about problems caused by using iPads before bed.B. inform readers of a recent research.C. offer some suggestions on late night screen viewing.D. advocate late night screen viewing.DA spelling mistake on a sign outside a state primary school had me banging my head in despairbut

49、 dont be panicked into thinking state education is fundamentally disabled.Theres a notice on our local park gate, made by a local state primary school pupil, saying: “there is know things like the poo fairy.” What a good ideaa campaign to encourage the dog-owners among us to pick up their dogs waste

50、! And what an attractive and eye-catching poster! But “KNOW poo fairy”? why didnt the teacher check the spelling before the poster was completed and displayed before the public? Didnt he/she realize that not only is bad spelling a worry, but even worsethis is the sort of thing that could easily brin

51、g joy to Mr. Goves heart, because it seems to prove him rightordinary state schools bad and academies good. And the country may take his propaganda (宣传) seriously. Show the panicking parents one bad spelling from a non-academy school, suggesting that its filled with wild and unqualified staff, and t

52、heyll be scared that their children will come out walking on all fours, and must be marched straight into an academyand institution full of exam results and undemocratic management.Dont fall for it, parents. Like thousands of teachers in state schools, and local authorities, you can care about child

53、rens education and standards of literacy, you can even love Latin, without singing up to the Gove brigade (队列).

58、than they would in other countries subject to the same natural disasters.But there is one disaster that was brought to Haiti directly by people, now by nature. It was not caused by extreme weather. That disaster is the cholera that struck Haiti two years ago.Most people I talk to dont even know that

59、 United Nations troops brought this deadly disease to Haiti in October of 2010. There hadnt been any cholera in Haiti for at least 100 years, if ever, until some UN troops from /south Asia poured human waste into a branch of the countrys main water supply. Since then, more than 7,600 Haitians have d

60、ied and over 600,000 have gotten sick.However, the UN is still denying its responsibility, despite studies published by the New England Journal of Medicine, tracking the origin of Haitis cholera bacteria to UN soldiers.
