Between their crazy schedules and upside-down circadian(昼夜节律的) rhythms, teens have always been somewhat sleep-deprived(剥夺).Now technology is making it worse.

Teens are not just texting, instant-messaging and surfing Facebook all day; they’re sleeping with their cell phones or laptops, too.Or rather, not sleeping.And doctors and parents, many of whom raised in an era when phones were attached to walls, are concerned.

“So many teens are having sleep issues, and parents aren’t necessarily regulating the use of the electronic devices enough,” says Margie Ryerson, a therapist.“It’s impossible to wind down and relax the body, the mind, the senses and be ready to fall asleep.”

“We all know teens don’t get enough sleep in general,” says San Francisco.“As long as parents allow teens to have these devices in their bedrooms at night, teens will be tempted(诱惑) to use them.”… Teens would socialize 24/7 if they could.

Ryerson calls it the CNN syndrome of teenhood— round-the-clock reports on breaking news about everything, from homework to wardrobe choices to ice-cream cravings.

Sleep deprivation is linked to memory and concentration problems, anxiety and depression, and moodiness.“Many people assume these problems arise directly from adolescence, which is not really true,” he says.“The real issue is sleep deprivation.Late-night texting can certainly make the situation worse.”

“The psychology behind this constant contact is certainly understandable,” Ryerson says.“It comes from wanting to avoid being left out.They won’t be considered important and significant in their peer group, if they don’t know what’s going on.If they’re on top of everything, they belong,” she says.

“What helps, at least for younger kids,” says Ryerson, “is parental involvement.If all of their friends are all able to text into the early hours of the night, it is hard for a middle or high schooler to set the limit themselves.Often they appreciate parents stepping in.”

“As parents, we want our kids to be happy, healthy and responsible,” she says, “and the most necessary requirement for achieving balance is to first take care of ourselves physically — eating well, exercising and getting enough sleep.”

1.According to Ryerson, it seems that ____.

A.it is unnecessary to control teens’ using the electric devices

B.parents possibly don’t control teens in using the electric devices

C.there is no need for parents to make use of the electric devices

D.parents don’t learn enough how to use the electric devices

2.By saying the underlined part “the CNN syndrome of teenhood”(in Para5), Ryerson means _.

A.teens are affected by CNN news reports very much

B.teens watch news report on CNN around the clock

C.teens text to tell each other everything possible

D.teens like the news report on CNN

3.When teens felt depressed, people used to think it was because ____.

A.teens stayed up late to do homework

B.teens were easily anxious in character

C.teens didn’t have enough sleep at night

D.teens were going through a period of growth

4.Why do teens keep texting all the time?

A.To have a sense of being accepted by others.

B.To keep informed of what is going on in the world.

C.To spread important news among their group.

D.To reduce the pressure from parents and schools.

Can we turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed”? Is there power in positive thinking?

Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply emphasize how unhappy they are.

The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by referring to older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better.If you tell your friend that he may be an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faultsIn one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write passages opposing funding for the disabled.When they were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.

In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem(自尊).The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes.Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell.When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.”

Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the experiment.In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.

The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy(心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them.In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse.Meditation(静思) techniques, on the contrary, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a large, more realistic perspective(视野).Call it the power of negative thinking.

1.The Canadian researchers find that _____.

A.encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good

B.there can be no simple cure for psychological problems

C.unhappy people cannot think positively

D.the power of positive thinking is limited

2.What does the author mean by “… you’re just underlining his faults”(Line4, Para3)?

A.You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.

B.You are pointing out the mistakes he has made.

C.You are emphasizing the fact that he is not clever.

D.You are trying to make him feel better about his faults.

3.What do we learn from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic?

A.It is important for people to continually improve their self-esteem.

B.Thinking positively can bring a positive change to one’s mood.

C.People with low self-esteem seldom write down their true feelings.

D.Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem.

4.What do we learn from the last paragraph?

A.The effects of positive thinking vary from person to person.

B.Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy.

C.Different people tend to have different ways of thinking.

D.People can avoid making mistakes through meditation.

Russia and the United States have completed the largest spy exchange since the Cold War.On Friday, at an airport in Vienna, Austria, an American plane and a Russian plane landed, parked side by side and exchanged occupants

The United States freed ten admitted Russian agents.The men and women were arrested in late June and pleaded(承认) guilty on Thursday.

In exchange, Russia freed four Russians serving prison sentences on charges of spying for the West.The men include Igor Sutyagin, an armed researcher who always denied the charges.Some considered him a political prisoner.

The United States deported(驱逐) nine Russian and an American citizen born in Peru.Some raised children while living quiet lives as married couples.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry praised the exchange, saying, “The action improved Russian-U.S.relations.”

The group was accused of trying to gain information on American nuclear weapons, foreign policy and politics for the SVR — Russia’s foreign intelligence service.

The ten were only charged with plotting(阴谋) to act as undeclared foreign agents.They were not charged with the more serious crime of spying, so the extent(程度) of their success as spies is not clear.

One of the Russians, Anna Chapman, drew attention with her looks and stories of her New York party life.Hr lawyer, Robert Baum, said she had not passed secret information to Russia or received any payment.He also said, “She was accused of communicating with a Russian official through a laptop to laptop communication, without the government specifying the nature of the communication.”
