Sleeping in a room with too much light has been linked to an increased risk of
piling on the pounds ， a study shows.A team at the Institute of Cancer Research in
London found women had larger waistlines if their bedroom was “light enough to see
across” at night. However，they caution there is not enough evidence to advise people to
buy thicker curtains or turn off lights.
The women were asked to rate the amount of light in their bedrooms at night as：
Light enough to read; light enough to see across the room，but not read; light enough to
see your hand in front of you，but not across the room; too dark to see your hand or you
wear a mask.Their answers were compared to several measures(程度)of obesity.These
measures were all higher in women with lighter rooms.Prof.Anthony Swerdlow told the BBC，“In this very large group of people there
is an association between reported light exposure at night and overweight and
obesity.But there is not sufficient evidence to know if making your room darker would
make any difference to your weight.There might be other explanations for the
association ， but the findings are intriguing enough to guarantee further scientific
investigation.”
The light is disrupting the body clock ， which stems from( 出 于 ； 基 于 ) our
evolutionary past when we were active when it was light in the day and resting when it
was dark at night.Light alters mood，physical strength and even the way we process
food in a 24hour cycle.Artificial light is known to disrupt the body clock by delaying
the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.
Prof. Derk-Jan Dijk said there would be no harm in trying to make bedrooms
darker. He told the BBC，“People in general are not aware of the light present in their
bedroom.I think people should assess their bedroom and see how easy it would be to
make it darker.” Street lights, some alarm clocks and standby lights on electrical
equipment such as televisions could light a room，he said.“Overall this study points to
the importance of darkness，” he concluded.
4．The passage mainly tells us ________.
A．bright bedrooms link to obesity
B．dark bedrooms link to obesity
C．people should turn off lights
D．people should buy thicker curtains
5．What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Stopping. B.Disturbing.
C．Improving. D.Recovering.
6．What might Paragraph 4 be used for?
A．One possible explanation on disrupting body clock.
B．One possible explanation on disrupting mood.
C．One possible explanation on disrupting physical strength.
D．One possible explanation on artificial light.
7．What's Prof. Derk-Jan Dijk's attitude towards the dark room?A．Unclear. B.Doubtful.
C．Negative. D.Favorable.

clock…”及最后一句中的“Artificial light is known to disrupt the body clock”可知，本

7．D 【解析】观点态度题。根据最后一段第一句中“…there would be no harm in
trying to make bedrooms darker”及最后一句可以看出，Derk-Jan Dijk 教授赞成将卧
室的亮度调暗。故选 D 项。

coffee shop in Encino.Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting，I arrived at nine,20

so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much.Selena was
wearing Bebe shorts.She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.

as an artist.“Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing ，and I'm super
happy with what my show accomplished，but acting is something I would like to take on
more seriously.” She continued，“I don't necessarily feel accomplished.I want to create
a whole different person when it comes to acting.”
Selena has been working full-time since she was seven years old and scored a role
