28、researcher, Christian Benedict, said in a statement. “The later the self-reported sleep disturbance was found, the higher the risk was for developing Alzheimers disease.”The study followed over 1,500 men, who were 50 at the start of the study, for 40 years.

37、arry out normal day-to-day activities. This affects about 650 million of us, worldwide. 37 Most become disabled during the course of their life.

39、ty can affect many things in a persons life.3. Disability and the law 39 It is illegal and extremely unpleasant to discriminate (歧视) against someone who is disabled.
