Thats more than twice the combined amount spent on international travel by people from the United States and Germany, the next two biggest-spending nati

27、ons. The Chinese are relative newcomers when it comes to traveling beyond their nations borders and only a small percentage of them travel outside of China each year. Yet Chinese citizens flew, on average, just 65 miles last year versus(与相对)the 227 miles flown on average by US citizens, the 285 mile

28、s flown on average by Germans, the 271 miles flown on average by those from the United Kingdom, and the 632 miles flown by the average Canadian last year.Chinas high total spending on international travel and its low average number of miles flown on international travel may show that while only a sm

29、all percentage of Chinas residents actually travel outside their homeland, and those who do spend a lot of money dont go that far. But there are reasons for Chinas low average of miles travel on international trips. A small percentage of Chinese now have enough money to travel internationally, thoug

30、h the number of people who do travel outside of China is growing fast every year.

35、ve without it. But while scientists have long understood the importance of getting enough sleep, the key part played by light exposure can sometimes be overlooked. The reason why light is so important is that it sets our body clock, through specialized light sensors within the eye. Our eye detects t

36、he light and dark cycle within our environment and adjusts the body clock so that the inner and outer day coincide (相符). This is so powerful that people who have eye damage can find their body clock is thrown off, leading to sleep problems.Without any access to light, the human body clock appears to

37、 change, adding about half an hour on to its 24-hour cycle for each day of darkness. Jet lag is the most obvious example of the effect light can have. Exposure to light in the new time zone helps reset our body clock to local time, telling us the right time to sleep.In 1800, most people across the w

38、orld worked outside and were exposed to the change from day to night. Today, many of us miss out on the natural environment as we mostly work inside. We have become a light-deprived (光照不足的) species, and this has far-reaching consequences for the quality of our sleep, and consequently our well-being.

39、 The proper amount varies from person to person, but we do know that our bodies need exposure to very bright light that most indoor lighting does not provide. One notable side effect is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression thought to affect 2-8% of Europeans, which is linked to be

40、ing short of sunlight exposure.Research in this area could help people make informed choices. Simply by reducing light exposure before going to bed, and trying to get as much morning light as possible, they could improve their sleep and well-being.32. What does the underlined part “it” in the first

41、paragraph refer to?A. The sensor.B. Sleep.C. Light.D. The eye.33. Why is jet lag mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. To show people in different time zones have different sleep patterns.B. To advise frequent fliers to get plenty of sun to avoid discomfort.C. To prove irregular light and dark cycles affect o

42、ur body clock.D. To explain why our body clock has a 24-hour cycle.34. What can we learn about SAD from the text?A. It comes along with cold temperatures.B. It results from a lack of natural light.C. It affects people living on islands.D. It happens mainly in summer.35. What is the main idea of the

43、text?A. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy.B. Natural light is the key to a good nights sleep.C. Our body clock is linked to the mood disorder.D. Life is really hard for night birds.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Make a Chinese Hot PotEating a Ch
