Could your weekend lie-in(睡懒觉) kill you?” asked the Daily mail. It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease. Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it's a work or non-work day, it's an interesting question. Is the lie-in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag. Is that even a thing?

Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone-it makes us sleepy during the day. People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock. They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers. The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results. It does not show that anyone's

developing heart disease was because they had lie-ins.

Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie-in. Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying-in at weekends, so we shouldn't stop doing it. However, we should limit the time.

Studies show that if you accumulate a five-hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it. It would be a shame to be scared of a lie-in. Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep. Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns. Sleep is the test for the state of one's health, and the most important thing that happens when you don't get enough of it is that you feel sleepy.

32. What's the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns? A. Becoming unhealthy. B. Losing weight quickly. C. Easily adapting to time zones. D. Becoming early sleepers and risers.

33. What is Jim Horne's attitude towards the weekend lie-in? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive.

34. What does the underlined phrase \A. Lying-in. B. Worrying. C. Sleeping early.

D. Compensating for the limit. 35. What can we infer from the text?

A. The sleep debt must be paid off completely. B. The weekend lie-in is a bad habit for all people. C. The more hours one sleeps, the healthier he will be. D. Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn.

Over the course of my life, I come to realize we will have unpleasant feelings from time to time. Our loved ones will pass away, our friends and families will disappoint us, and the challenges of life will make us angry and frustrated. 36 I have experienced a lot and find out some effective ways to help express our feelings.

37 When expressing strong feelings, many people intend to start talking over the other person instead of listening to what he or she is saying. If you do so, you won't have the possibility of clearing up any misunderstandings.

Exercise to help deal with depression. Despite the commonly held belief that people need to let off their anger to help reduce its damaging effects, research indicates that this method is not helpful and can actually increase anger. However, exercise is very effective at relieving symptoms of sadness and anxiety. 38

Allow yourself to cry. Crying is viewed as a sign of weakness in some cultures. 39 Many people end up feeling better after crying, especially if they are in a secure environment around loved ones.

Try expressing yourself through art. 40 For example, art can help survivors process their feelings. These methods are powerful because they remove the need to create words, allowing you to access your feelings directly.

A. Remember to listen.

B. Talk to a good friend or a family member.

C. However, it is a valuable outlet for your negative feelings. D. Do control yourself and try not let your anger hurt other persons. E. Therefore, try slow exercises like yoga to help you relax and calm down. F. when those painful feelings arise, we should know how to deal with them properly.
