2017黑龙江高二下学期人教版高中英语期末考试

   The bed should be reserved as a place for sleep，but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep．
   Charles Czeisler，a professor at Harvard Medical School，and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment．For five days in a row，the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep．Their sleep patterns were monitored all night．Before and after each trial period，the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin（褪黑激素）was in their blood at any given time．
   When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books，they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning．People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights，and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion（分泌）was delayed by an hour and a half．
   The researchers conclude in today's journal article that gives the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents，more research into the"long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed．"Czeisler and colleagues go on，in the research paper，to note"Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk．"
However，software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day，and there are also glasses that are made to filter（过滤）short wavelengths．While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users，it needs more research．

21. In Charles Czeisler's experiment，all the subjects were asked to ______ ．

Pilates，yoga and the running machine get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to stay healthy．There is，however，a more humbleexercise that might not be so attractive，but has all benefits-walking．
    Certified fitness professional JolynnJaekel explains，"What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level．Plus，it's good for your heart，your head and your wallet．"
A recent report details the health benefits of walking．The report found that walking regularly to fulfill the 150 minutes of moderate physical exercise every week，recommended by the UK's chief medical officer，could save 37，000 lives each year．Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than running．They observed participants aged between 18 and 80 over a six-year period and found that walking reduced the risk of heart disease by 9.3%，while running reduced it by 4.5%．And there is even more good news：30 minutes of quick walking over five days could help you sleep easily，according to research by Oregon State University．The study by the university showed that walking helped participants sleep better and feel more alert during the day．
The sooner you get started，the sooner you will notice the differences in your mind and body．
   So，go out for your 30-minute walk in a nearby park or green space．

25. The underlined word"humble"in the first paragraph means ______ ．

    Social worker Cathy Heying noticed a growing tendency among the homeless and unemployed people she served for nearly a decade at St．Stephen's Catholic Church in Minneapolis．"At least twice a week，someone would mention car trouble as a reason for missing a job interview or not getting the kids to day care，"says Cathy，44．"I thought if I could offer car repairs，I could prevent these problems．"So in December 2012，with little more automotive experience than making small changes to improve her own motorcycle，Cathy signed up for a mechanics（机械学）program．After two years of taking a full-time course，Cathy obtained a part-time degree in auto technology from Dunwoody College of Technology．
    Then she opened the Lift，a nonprofit garage offering affordable car repair for needy people．"I had no mechanics，no volunteers，and only a few tools，"says Cathy．She operated from a partly closed area in a friend's garage．But she made it work．
    One of Cathy's first customers，Linda Granger，was unemployed when her social worker referred her to the Lift．Her 20-year-old pickup truck had a new heater，timing belt，and brakes fixed by Cathy and a volunteer for 600total，which Lindai spaying off in 20 monthly installments．The same repairs would have cost at least $1，800 at a typical garage．
   "There's no way I could have afforded it otherwise，"says Linda．
   "It's been a hard journey from social worker to mechanic，"says Cathy．"But compared with other people's struggles，I have nothing to complain about．"

29. What motivates Cathy Heying to open the Lift？ ______
