8、stances.(B)How English family life has evolved since the eighteenth centuryThe majority of English families of the pre-industrial age, roughly until the mid-eighteen century, lived in a rural location.

10、income were likely to make the difference between starvation and survival.Children worked from an early age, girls helping their mothers, and boys their fathers. School was an occasional factor in their lives. Instead, children learned by doing (36) _ their parents showed them. Knowledge of caring (

In general, this work could be put aside and taken up again when there was a break such as agricultural work.The

12、 process of industrialization in the second half of the eighteenth century and during the nineteenth transformed life for the majority of the population. It was the use of steam to power machinery (39) _ required large buildings, and it resulted in the construction of numerous factories in many town

Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the tric

15、k, but the biggest longevity (長(zhǎng)壽) boost seems to come from marriage or a(n) _ relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 _by William Farr, who wrote that widows (寡婦)and widowers were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could ad

16、d as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans. The effect _ for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with hear

17、t disease can _ to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in t

18、he couple of years following their spouses death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same _ problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of so

19、cial networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, 46_ by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to bett

20、er health and less chance of _47_ later in life. People in supportive relationships may _48_ stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all _49_ if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being _

21、 out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”III.

But pull back the curtains and you might be surprised by the number of lights on in your street Night-time is _51_ just for sleeping. It has become the new daytime, offering us the chance to catch up on everything

23、we didnt manage to finish during what used to be our _52_ hours. Now, _53_ sleeping, we can check our bank balances by phone, buy groceries, surf the net for cheap flights or go to the gym. Such flexibility, _54_, has a price. Our bodies are run by circadian rhythms (晝夜節(jié)律), a prehistoric internal cl

24、ock that regulates when we feel sleepy or awake and affects our body temperature and level of alertness. It makes our brains and bodies _55_ during the day and allows them to recover through the night. So powerful is this clock that even two weeks on a nightshift without break will not _56_ its rhyt

25、hm, and when scientists keep human volunteers in isolation, without any indication of what time it is in the day, they still show daily cycles of temperature changes, sleep and wakefulness, and hormone release. But, _57_ working against our bodys natural rhythm is likely to cause ourselves both phys

Consultant Tom Mackey believes that our normal circadian rhythms are increasingly being completely _59_. “More and more of us are being pressured into doing things at odd hou

If people dont go to bed at a reasonable time, say around 11 p.m., and have between six and eight hours of sleep, they will be unable to concentrate. You need sleep for rest and _61_. If you stuff your mind with information f

28、or too long, then everything gets disorganized -you become _62_ to manage daytime activities.” The circadian rhythms that run the sleep/wake cycle are as old as _63_ itself. Our prehistoric ancestors would have needed their biological clock to get them out hunting during the day and probably in bed

29、around nightfall to avoid intruders. Our night vision is not as fast as that of nocturnal (夜間活動(dòng)的) animals -our natural rhythm was to sleep as the sun went down. The invention of the electric light obviously _64_ that. Like most biological systems, circadian rhythms are not made to _65_. Our internal

34、ring milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldnt take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his b When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkmelt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and g

35、ave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note - “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” - and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the bu

36、ttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to out house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldnt freeze. And I

37、 remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery. There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is

38、 for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch （門廊）. Every so often my sons friends will ask what it is. So I start telling

39、 stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.66. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer _. A. to show his magical power. B. to pay for the delivery. C. to satisfy his curiosity. D. to please his mother.67. What can be inferred from

53、nts too. Time for an uninterrupted phone call, or a rest on the sofa. And naps have to be a good thing for preschools, surely, since they need to take a rest and get enough sleep for their brains to develop. Short naps have also been shown to be good for adults-improving alertness and reaction times

54、. So it feels counterintuitive for a review of 26 studies to conclude that napping in children over two years of age may not be a good idea at all. The review says that after two years of age, napping is associated with going to sleep late at night, poorer quality sleep and waking earlier. So should

55、 we discourage naps in preschool chikdren -even if they really seem to need one? Although the review talks about the effects of napping on two-year-olds, most of the evidence in review actually comes from studies on three-year-olds. Also ,the authors of the view article are clear that the research o

56、n childrens naps is of poor quality; some studies rely on parents remembering how much their children slept, or are for very short periods. A study published in the journal of attention disorders in February suffers from some methodological shortcomings (for instance small numbers -only 28 children

57、between the ages of three and four, and only for five days), but is at least a randomized(任意的) controlled trial, using actigraphs(活動(dòng)記錄儀) worn on the wrist to objectively measure sleep. It found that children who missed their naps slept better at night and scored higher in studies of memory and atten

58、tion. Dr mark mahone, one of the authors, says that sleep at nigth may be of a better quality than during daytime napping. Having a sound sleep at night, he says ,provides a greater proportion of the slow-wave, restorative sleep that promotes brain development and reinforces what has been learned the day before. The study also found that the children who went without naps did not sleep more at weekends. I could never get my children to nap, but for parents who can, there is no reason to stop. Mahone says that more research is needed before anyone starts making r
