If you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day, think again. Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year, a survey has revealed. The waistlines of women suffer the most, with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz—the equivalent of a whole dress size—while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.

The report into our eating habits found that, on average, we eat at least two snacks a day, with 30 percent of us tucking into three or more. Women admit eating more than men, with a further 13 percent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day. The research, by The Village Bakery, found biscuits are the most common vice, with 42 percent regularly opening a pack, closely followed by chocolate (38 percent), crisps (32 percent) and cakes (13 percent)．

And office workers are worse than most. Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to. In addition, 33 percent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 percent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.

Simon Staddon, of The Village Bakery, said：“We were aware time­poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch. But we were really shocked by the extent to which ‘quick fix’ lunches are affecting weight gain and general well­being. Popular mid­afternoon pick­me­ups such as biscuits, chocolate and cakes are high in calories, fat and full of sugar, all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.”

The survey of 2，000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating. 24 percent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying, compared to 20 percent of men. Unfortunately, it's as if we are not likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.

31. According to the passage, women usually put weight on first ________．

A. on the face  B. on the legs  C. on the feet  D. in the middle

32. What's the main reason of eating snacks in office?

A. Colleagues eat them to save money.  B. Staff use them to cope with their lunches.

C. Colleagues often bring them to office.  D. Bosses invite staff to eat them.

33. Why do office workers eat a “quick fix” lunch?

A. Because it has much of nutrition.

B. Because it has little effect on weight gain.

C. Because it has little effect on general well­being.

D. Because they have short time to have their lunches.

34. It can be inferred that British women are________.

A. less likely to lie on snacks than men  B. more likely to lie on snacks than men

C. more ashamed of eating snacks than men  D. less ashamed of eating snacks than men

35. What does the underlined word “counteract” in Paragraph 5 possibly mean?

Are you having difficulty falling asleep? Try drinking a glass of warm milk. If that doesn't work, listen to soft, beautiful music. Still no luck? Try thinking about sheep jumping over a fence. If you are still awake, take a sleeping pill. But people who take pills often become dependent on the drugs. So you lie awake knowing that the new workday will soon arrive. If you have been in such condition for at least one month, you may have primary insomnia(失眠症)．

A new study has found that you might fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep longer if you try “cerebral hypothermia”. It is not a complex medical process. It just means cooling down your brain. Eric Nofzinger and Daniel Buysse from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School led the study. They examined twelve people who had sleeping problems. Twelve others had no sleep problems. Each of them wore a soft plastic cap on their head at bedtime.

The caps had tubes inside filled with water. The researchers moved the water through the tubes and then changed the temperature of the water. Other studies showed that people who had sleeping problems often had more chemical reactions in the front of their brain. The researchers thought cooling down the brain might help.

On the first two nights of testing, the patients wore caps with no water. On the next two nights, the caps were worn, but the water was not cooled. Then the researchers cooled the water a little for another two nights. On the final two nights of the study, the temperature of the water was made much cooler.

The researchers found that the water caps didn't help the patients until the temperature was about 14℃. Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads.

Dr Nofzinger and Dr Buysse noted that this was only the beginning of the brain temperature study. But they believed they had discovered something important that needed more research.

36. The first paragraph is written to ________．

A. explain how serious insomnia is  B. bring forward the topic of the passage

C. tell us the causes of sleeping problems  D. tell us the danger of having sleeping problems

37. From the passage we know that “cerebral hypothermia” is actually ________．

A. a complex medical process  B. a psychological treatment

C. a simple physical treatment  D. a difficult scientific theory

38. In the study, researchers helped people fall asleep faster through ________．

A. increasing chemical reactions in the front of their brain

B. making them feel safe with a cap on their head

C. asking them to drink water to cool down

D. lowering the temperature of their brain

39. Dr Nofzinger and Dr Buysse seemed to believe that ________．

A. their research wouldn't help people greatly

B. more studies would be needed for their research

C. cooling down people's brain might be harmful

D. the results of their study would be made use of soon

Blood donation, also called blood banking, is a wonderful thing to do. It is an easy and direct way to contribute to social work and help the community. It helps to save lives and helps those who are in need of blood due to bad condition or the heavy loss of blood during operations or in accidents.

You are able to give or donate blood every three or four months, and it is a great way to make a huge difference to someone's life and you can always be proud of it after making valuable contributions to society. Blood donation is not a big problem, but you need to keep a few points in mind.

Before donating blood, make sure that the ferrum(铁) level in your body is high enough and for that you should take a healthy diet. Do not go for blood donation on an empty stomach. You should follow the correct process so that everything goes well. After having a balanced diet you will feel strong and comfortable to donate blood. Afterwards, you will not feel faint or weak.

For required hemoglobin(血红蛋白) in your body, drink lots of juice and other drinks. Fruit juice, such as apple juice is very good for increasing the blood level in your body.

For a good blood flow in your body, drink at least 6—7 glasses of water every day. Completely avoid a day before and after giving blood, taking alcohol(酒). Do not smoke half an hour before giving blood.

When you are going for blood donation, be relaxed, which helps keep the right blood pressure. During the blood donation activity, take a deep breath and try to calm yourself. Don't join in some other activities.

When you donate blood, you are making the effort to save someone's life. Blood donation is a very simple and fast process, but you need to take care of yourself after donating blood. Proper care helps to reduce side effects. The following are a few tips that will help you out.

Take a rest for 15 minutes after the donation. It helps you to feel relaxed.

Eat something and drink juice before leaving the blood donation centre. Make sure that you have meals after donating blood. Smoking should be avoided for one hour after the process. Avoid some activities right away, for example, driving.

Finally, be proud of yourself because you have done a great thing in helping to save someone's life. Blood donation is a very important activity.
