A

Americanwomen experience a great variety of lifestyle. A typical

Americanwoman may be

用心

专心

single.She may also be divorced or married. She may be a homemaker, adoctor, or a factory worker. It is very difficult to generalize aboutAmerican women. However, one thing that many American women have incommon is their attitudes about themselves and their roles inAmerican life.

Historically,American women have always been very independent. The first settlersto come to New England were ten young couples that had left behindtheir extended（big）families.The women were alone in a new, undeveloped country with theirhusbands. This has two important effects.

Firstof all, this was the uncivilized environment that demanded everyperson to share in developing it and in survival. Women worked withtheir husbands and children to make themselves accepted in this newland. Second, because they were in a new land without the establishedinfluence of older members of society, women felt free to step intonontraditional roles.

Thisrole of women was strengthened in later years as Americans move westagain, leaving families behind and meeting a new environment. Evenlater, in the east, as new settlers arrived, women often found jobsmore easily than men. Women became the supporters of the family.

Withinthe established lifestyle of the industrialized twentieth century,the strong role of women was not attractive as in the early days ofthe country.

Somewomen stepped into the men’s jobs as factory and business workers.

Afterthe war, some women stayed in these positions, and others left their

jobswith a new sense of ability.

56．Thesecond paragraph is mainly about A．lifein the new land B．Americanwomen’sindependence
C．Americanmen’straditional position
D．theroles American women play in society
57．Duringthe industrialized twentieth century, the role of women A．wasfound out B．wasas important as before
C．becameless important D．wasstronger than that of the early days 58．Womentook part in men’s job during the time of .

A．theSecond World War B．theWestward Movement
C．theearly immigration D．theindustrialized twentieth century 59．Whatis the main idea of the passage?

A．Differentlifestyles led by American women.

B．Americanwomen were free to step into nontraditional roles in

society.

C．Americanwomen worked hard to establish their history.

D．Americanwomen were independent because they did not have to

followthe

regulationsat all.

Collegesare starting to wake up to how sleep deprivation（剥夺）cuts

intothe academic and athletic performance of their students. All-nightershave become a habit in higher education, but a A study at St.Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., showed what may seem obvious tomost of the all-nighters was not an effective way to succeed inschool.

“Youcan’t do your best work when you’re sleep-deprived,” says
psychologyprofessor Pamela Thacher, who wrote the study. Thacher studied thesleeping patterns and grades of 111

studentsto see the relationship between sleep and their GPAs.

Two-thirdsof the students reported that they had pulled at least oneall-nighter during a semester. Many students believe that it’s a“rite of
passage”（标志）tostay up all night during college and that “it’skind of fun,”Thacher says.

But“if you use all-nighters, your GPA is slightly lower on average,”Thacher says.

Short-termside effects of sleep deprivation include delayed reactions andtendencies to make mistakes.

AStanford University study may help persuade at least student athletesto make more time for bed. Cheri Mah, a graduate researcher atStanford, worked with six basketball players, who all ran faster andmade more shots over a period in which they slept at least 10 hours anight.

“Athleteswho get an extra amount of sleep are more likely to improve

theirperformance in a game,” says Mah, who released results from an

ongoingstudy in June. “It’s not common knowledge, because if people

understoodhow much of a difference getting more sleep could make

athletically,they’d apply it more to their lives and not focus solely onnutrition

andexercise. ”
60．Accordingto the study at St. Lawrence University, ___________.

A．onecan reach his potential by staying up late B．ittakes one all night to recite a passage
C．theless one sleeps, the more effective his work is D．all-nightersaffect one’sacademic performance

61.The underlined word “document” in the first paragraph probably

means______.

A．opposeB．proveC．checkD．improve62．Accordingto Cheri Mah, _______.

A．athletesimprove their performance only by means of nutrition and

exercise
B．itis known to all that those who get extra sleep perform betterC．peopledon’tunderstand getting more sleep can make a difference D．athletesshould sleep as much as possible to run faster
63．Whatis this passage mainly concerned about?

A．Astudy on all-nighters at St. Lawrence University.

B．Collegestudents’performance suffering from lack of sleep.

C．Short-termside effects of sleep deprivation.

D．AStanford University study on athletes’sleep.

Stayingpositive through the cold season could be your best defense

againstgetting ill, new study findings suggest. In an experiment thatexposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, researchers foundthat people with a generally sunny character were less likely to fallill.

Thefindings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build onevidence that a “positivefeeling style”can help get rid of the common cold and other illnesses. Researchersbelieve the reasons may be both objective（客观的）asin happiness improving immune function and subjective as in happypeople being less troubled by a throat ache or runny nose.

“Peoplewith a positive feeling style may have different immune
responsesto the virus,” explained Dr Sheldon Cohen. “And when they do geta cold, they may stop their illness from being more severe.”
Cohenfound in a previous study that happier people seemed less easy tocatch a cold. However, some questions remained as to whether thefeeling itself had the effect.

Forthe new study, the researchers ask 193 healthy adults to completesome standard measures of personality and feeling style. Those whotended to be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having apositive feeling style, while those who were often unhappy, tense anddepressed had a negative style.

Theresearchers gave them some drops containing either a cold virus or aparticular flu virus. Over the next six days, the volunteers reportedon any

aches,pains, sneezing they had. While the researchers collected objectivedata like daily mucus（粘液）production,Cohen and his partners found that

warmpeople were likely to keep cold at bay.
