That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals(個(gè)人) who live or work in low

12、levels of light overnight(整夜) can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.In the new study, American investigat

13、ors designed an experiment that exposed hamsters(倉(cāng)鼠)to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night

14、-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light.After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least

15、amount of water.Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didnt show any sleep uneasiness(不安) at all but they did mess up biological clock genes

16、and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim(微弱)red light, they did not.”Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive(感光)cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake

17、 cycle.He says theres a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.1、Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because _.Athey are similar to humans in dealing with colorsBthey are

However, I wasnt prepared for the people. Their s

21、tories impressed me long after I locked up for the night.I always enjoyed reading the messages that went along with each bunch. Most were what you would expect, plenty of “I Love You” and “Get Well Soon.” We got “Happy Birthday, ” “Happy Anniversary” and “Thinking of You” requests that phone message

22、s were written in shorthand: H.B, H.A, T.O.Y.I would laugh at messages that seemed too sugary or boring, and it disheartened me when customers asked what their sympathy card should say. But I also understood that finding the right words can be a monumental task and that sometimes those words just ha

30、ds away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet-connected camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that theyre

I think it will be very interesting to see what manners ap

32、pear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if its not a security issue. Post wants to make clear that shes not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preference.When it comes to security cameras, Post says

33、 its a hosts responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. If the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about it, that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.However, if a contractor(合約工)is

34、working in your home, you dont need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the camera can also work in contractors favor. If anything does go wrong while theyre in the house, they dont want to be blamed for it, she says. In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they
