Beauty sleep is a real thing, according to researchers who have shown that people who miss out on sleep do appear less attractive to others.?A couple of bad nights is enough to make a person look "significantly" more????1 ??, their sleep experiments suggest.
Dark-circled "panda" eyes and puffy lids can even ????2 ??others off socializing with you, they say.?People were rated by strangers as less healthy and ????3 ???when they had tired faces.
The researchers asked 25 university students, some male and some female, to be the guinea pigs in their sleep experiment.?The volunteers - who were given payment for their help - were sent home with a kit that would ????4 ???their night-time movements to check that they had not cheated and slept when they should not have.?They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two consecutive nights.
A week later, they were asked to????5 ???themselves to only four hours sleep per night for two nights in a row.?The researchers took make-up free photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep sessions.
Next, they asked 122 strangers - women and men living in Sweden's capital city, Stockholm - to have a look at the photos and rate them on ????6 ??, health, sleepiness and trustworthiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to socialize with this person in the picture?"
The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score ????7 ??.?The strangers also said they would be less willing to socialize with the tired students, who they also perceived to be less healthy, Royal Society Open Science journal reports.

Lead researcher Dr Tina Sundelin added: "I don't want to ????12 ???people or make them lose sleep over these findings though.?"Most people can cope just fine if they miss out on a bit of sleep now and again."
Dr Gayle Brewer, a ????13 ???expert at the University of Liverpool and member of the British Psychological Society, said: "Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious, but we all do it, and we are able to pick up on even small ????14 ???like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy.?"We want our partners to be attractive and energetic.?"This study is a good???15 ???of how important sleep is to us."

?
A
Dear Cutie-Pie,
Recently, your mother and I were searching for an answer on Google. Halfway through entering the question, Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world. At the top of the list was "How to keep him interested."
It surprised me a lot. I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual, when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich, and the ways to make him feel smart and superior.
And I got angry.
Little One, it is not, has never been, and never will be your job to "keep him interested."
Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul -- in that unshakeable place that isn't upset by rejection and loss -- that you are worthy of interest.
If you can trust your worth in this way, you will be attractive in the most important sense of the word: you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.
Little One, I want to tell you about the boy who doesn't need to be kept interested, because he knows you are interesting.
I don’t care if he can't play a bit of golf with me -- as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel?in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you.?I don't care if he doesn't follow his wallet -- as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you.?I don't care if he is strong -- as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart.?I couldn't care less how he votes -- as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of reverence in his heart.?I don't care about the color of his skin. I don’t care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion.
Little one, if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common, we will have the most important thing in common: You.
Because in the end, Little One, the only thing you should have to do to "keep him interested" is to be you.
Your eternally interested guy,
Daddy

C
Teacher burnout (倦?。?/span>and student stress may be linked, according to a University of British Columbia study. The study is the first of its kind to examine the connection between teacher burnout and students' cortisol levels(可體松水平), which are a biological indicator of stress.
Researchers collected saliva(唾液) samples from over 400 elementary school children and tested their cortisol levels. They found that in classrooms in which teachers experienced more burnout, or feelings of emotional exhaustion, students' cortisol levels were elevated. Higher cortisol levels in elementary school children have been linked to learning difficulties as well as mental health problems.
"This suggests that stress contagion might be taking place in the classroom among students and their teachers," said Eva Oberle, the study's lead author and newly appointed assistant professor with the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) at UBC's school of population and public health. "It is unknown what came first - elevated cortisol or teacher burnout. We consider the connection between student and teacher stress a cyclical problem in the classroom."
Oberle said a stressful classroom climate could be a result of inadequate support for teachers, which may impact teachers' ability to effectively manage their students. A poorly managed classroom can contribute to students' needs not being met and increasing stress. This could be reflected in elevated cortisol levels in students.
Alternatively, stress could originate from students, who may be more challenging to teach because of increases in anxiety, behavioural problems, or special needs. In this scenario, teachers could feel overwhelmed and report higher levels of burnout.
"Our study is a reminder of the systemic issues facing teachers and educators as classroom sizes increase and supports for teachers are cut," said Oberle.
"It is clear from a number of recent research studies that teaching is one of the most stressful professions, and that teachers need adequate resources and support in their jobs in order to battle burnout and alleviate stress in the classroom," said UBC education professor Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, the study's co-author and director of HELP. "If we do not support teachers, we risk the collateral damage of students."

Section C
Shorts may feel nice and breezy on your legs on a warm summer’s day, but they’re not so gentle on your wallet. ___67____So what gives?
?????It turns out clothing retailers aren’t trying to rip you off. Instead, they’re just pricing shorts according to what it costs to produce them. ___68____As Esquire explains, shorts that don’t fall past your knees may contain just a fifth less fabric than ankle-length trousers. This is because most of the cloth in these items is sewn into the top half.
?????Those same details that end up accounting for most of the material-flies, pockets, belt loops, waist bands-also require the most human labor to make. This is where the true cost of a garment is determined. ___69____Most of that money goes to pay the people stitching it together, and they put in roughly the same amount of time whether they’re working on a pair of boot cut jeans or some Daisy Dukes.
?????This price trend crops up across the fashion spectrum, but it’s most apparent in pants and shorts. For example, short-sleeved shirts cost roughly the same as long-sleeved shirts, but complicated stitching in shirt cuffs that you don’t see in pant legs can throw this dynamic off. ___70____ They make some shorts more expensive than nearly identical pairs, like where they were made, marketing costs, and the brand on the label.
A. Extra material does go into a full pair of pants but not as much as you may think.
B. You should check to see what you have in your closet before buying another shorts.
C. There are also numerous invisible factors for the phenomenon.
D. In general, a pair of shorts isn’t any cheaper than a pair of pants.
E. This is why shorts don’t cost less than pants.
F. The physical cotton in blue jeans accounts for just a small fraction of its price tag.

Ⅱ?Fill in the blanks with the proper forms of the gives verbs. (4=1*4)
1.. He ran as fast as he could_____(hope) to reach the early bus.
【答案】?hoping
解析:as fast as he could 是固定搭配,盡可能快,hope?的主語是he, 和hope是主動(dòng)關(guān)系,原句已經(jīng)有謂語動(dòng)詞,所以此處的hope只能為非謂語形式
2. While shopping in IKEA, people?sometimes can’t help______(persuade) into buying something?they don’t really need.
【答案】being persuaded
解析:固定搭配 can’t help doing sth 忍不住做某事,人們即消費(fèi)者和persuade 說服之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系

3. My mother always told me when she was young, she ____(work) as a journalist?for ten years in Iraq.
【答案】worked
解析:工作十年這個(gè)信息點(diǎn)的大背景是when she was young,過去式,所以此處work也應(yīng)該是過去式,不要看到for ten years 就機(jī)械的認(rèn)為一定是完成時(shí)。
