A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off-if it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.

Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

1.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.

A. started sleep more easily

B. were less active

C. were more anxious

D. woke up later

2.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?

A. It’s used in sleeping drugs

B. It exists in milk in great amount

C. It can make people more energetic

D. It’s been tested on mice for ten years

3.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Milk Drinking and Health B. Fat, Sugar and Health

C. Night Milk and Sleep D. An Experiment on Mice

Popular culture often shows alcohol as a big part of the college experience in the United States. Television programs and movies about American college life have images of wild parties with young people either drinking alcohol or holding a drink.

Now, a new study of alcohol use suggests that some college students may be missing meals so they can have more drinks or get drunk faster. Researchers are calling this kind of behavior "drunkorexia".

The study involved 1,184 college students between the ages of 18 and 26. Researchers found that 80 percent of those studied had demonstrated some kind of drunkorexia in the past three months. They had performed heavy physical exercise, eaten low calorie meals or even missed meals for up to a full day before drinking alcohol.

Dipali Rinker organized the study and presented its findings to the Research Society on Alcoholism in June. She says students see drunkorexia as a way to keep their body weight down while drinking alcohol. And it causes them to feel the effects of alcohol quickly and with more intensity（強(qiáng)度）. Rinker says unhealthy eating habits are only one of the reasons why this type of behavior is dangerous. Heavy drinking is linked to drunk driving, unprotected sex, and alcohol poisoning.

George Koob, who directs a U.S. governmental agency that studies alcohol related problems, says that the percent of students using alcohol has not increased in recent years. But what worries him is that the number of students drinking to the point of "blacking out" has increased. Blacking out is when a person drinks so much alcohol they have no memory of their actions while drunk.

Koob notes that college students in Canada and Europe also face issues with alcohol. But he feels a big part of the problem is that Americans do not fully understand alcohol's effects. Most people do not know the part of the brain where decisions are made is not fully developed until age 25 and that alcohol harms the development of that part of the brain, he adds.

1.What is the purpose of the behavior "drunkorexia"?

A. To get drunk. B. To drink more alcohol.

C. To take exercise. D. To lose weight.

2.What can heavy drinking result in?

A. Unhealthy eating habits. B. Drunkorexia.

C. Alcohol poisoning. D. Quick response.

3.Which of the following is the result of blacking out?

A. Missing meals. B. Forgetting something one did.

C. Having unprotected sex. D. Operating a vehicle while drunk.

4.By writing the passage, the writer aims to ________.

A. show heavy drinking and its harm B. show America college life

C. introduce American culture D. explain harmful behaviors

In China, chain restaurants – especially the big multinational ones – are cool. Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, “I’m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,” but also, “I’m cosmopolitan (見多識(shí)廣的) enough to be part of globalization.”

Where I come from in the UK, however, chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet(美食的). Chains are where you go on New Year’s Day when nowhere else is open, or when you are 5 years old and your parents can’t stand hearing, “I’m huuuuuungry!” any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald’s), a chain is where you are taken on your first “date”. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the “l(fā)et’s just be friends” phone call the next day.

In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says “l(fā)et’s meet for a coffee at Monmouth” (an independent cafe) is much cooler than one who says “l(fā)et’s go to Starbucks”. Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a little more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going straight to the big corporations.

Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK; you can’t go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.

I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald’s.

1.Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ______.

A. the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture

B. the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants

C. they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status

D. these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The author has grown tired of Chinese food.

B. Branches of Monmouth’s cafe can be found all over the UK.

C. Most independent stores are closed on New Year’s Day in the UK.

D. It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.

3.We can infer from the article that ______.

A. the author doesn’t like food from Pizza Hut

B. the author doesn’t like to follow fashion trends

C. many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality

D. many Britons don’t like big corporations

4.What does the underlined word (in the last paragraph) mean?

A. adapted B. contributed

C. subscribed D. Switched
