BA new report connects eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease. The results follow several earlier studies that found eating eggs was generally healthy. The

10、 study collects data from six other earlier studies. It shows a 6 percent increased risk of heart disease when the number of eggs a person ate each day increased by half an egg.Norrina Allen, an associate professor at Northwestern University said that, in the United States, eggs are generally one of

11、 the top sources of cholesterol（胆固醇）in a persons daily food. People with higher levels of cholesterol in their food are at increased risk of the development of heart disease later in life. However, Allen added that she would not say that eggs are completely unhealthy. “Im not saying that people shou

12、ld take them completely out of their food,” she said. “Im just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount.”Some experts believe the new study does not prove that eggs are causing heart disease. “Cholesterols role in the development of heart disease has been discussed for more than 30 years,”

13、 said Bruemmer, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting at a single time point,” he added.Bruemmer said, “Eggs in moderation（适度）are probably acceptable from a nutritional standpoint.” “Moder

14、ation,” he added, “is less than one egg a day, including eggs in foods such as bread”. Holly Andersen, a doctor at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, agrees that the study has “real shortcomings”. One problem Andersen has with the study is that a lot of the egg-eating people in t

15、he study also appeared to be eating much meat and processed meat. “If youre taking a lot of processed meat, it doesnt matter how many eggs youre eating,” Andersen said.Also, Andersen said, “The study can only show there is a relation between eggs eating and heart disease. But it cannot prove eggs ar

16、e the cause of the disease. It may just be that people eating a lot of eggs are also taking a lot of bacon.” 24. What does Norrina Allen agree with?A. Eggs are completely unhealthy. B. Eggs contain the most cholesterol.C. Eggs should be eaten in a right amount. D. Eggs have no connection with heart

17、disease.25. What is Bruemmers attitude towards the study?A. Interested. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Hopeful.26. What can we learn from Holly Andersens words?A. Eggs and meat cannot be eaten together. B. Processed meat may cause heart disease.C. Processed meat should be avoided. D. The study is sup

18、ported by evidence.27. Whats the best title of the text?A. Do eggs cause heart disease? B. Are eggs the top source of cholesterol?C. Whats the proper amount of eggs eaten? D. Is the cholesterol to blame for heart disease?CThe measure of a good nights sleep is usually based on two thingsthe amount of

19、 time spent sleeping and the quality of that sleep. But now researchers say there is a third thing that matters even more than the other two when it comes to keeping good sleep habits, and that is having a regular bedtime. A study has found that going to sleep and waking up at the same time every da

20、y have an important effect on ones health. Adults who stick to a regular bedtime tend to weigh less, have lower blood sugar and reduced risk of heart disease. The researchers studied the sleeping habits of 2, 000 adults with an average age of 69. They found that people with greater irregularity(无规律)

21、 in their sleep patterns tended to go to sleep later at night, feel sleepy and sleep more during the day, and experienced reduced light exposure. These people were also more likely to be stressed. Among the three kinds of sleep problems, sleep regularity was the most strongly associated with health.

22、 Of course, there are many people for whom this may be impossible, such as night-shift workers or those with late-night duty. But for those who dont have mandatory (强制的) reasons to stay up late, they should make an effort to go to bed at the same time every night. Skip the late afternoon coffee. Get

23、 off the phone. Try this calculator to figure out the best bedtime. As Matthew Walker, a scientist, wrote, “The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life.” Surely thats reasonable enough to go to bed on time.What can we infer from the research?AThe older you are, the more stressed you feel. BPoor sl

24、eep has a lot to do with our health.CThe old often have less sleep. DAdults enjoy sleeping late.29. According to the author, which of the following helps us have a good sleep?ALosing weight. BExperiencing more light exposure.CGiving up coffee in the late afternoon. DFiguring out the amount of time s

25、pent sleeping.30. Why are Matthew Walkers words mentioned?ATo remind us how to live a better life. BTo present disadvantages of sleeping late.CTo show the importance of the good sleep. DTo tell us how long we should sleep every day.31. Whats the best title for the text?AThe Importance of Sleep. BSti

Most of them said that he regained his sight a

30、nd hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen.
