Teens who become addicted to their cell phones may be placing their health at risk by harming their ability to sleep well，a new Swedish study suggests.
"The message is that teenagers who use their cell phones excessively are much more stressed, much more restless, much more tired, and have a great tendency to develop sleep deprivation(剥夺) as a result of their calling habits, " said the study author Dr. Gaby Bader.
He focused on the experiences of 21 healthy Swedish boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 20. The teens kept what the authors described as "regular working/studying hours" and were not previously diagnosed with any particular sleep irregularity．
He observed that the above-15 call group kept more irregular sleeping hours than the lower-use group，had more difficulty falling asleep，more difficulty waking up，and experienced more sleep disruptions（扰乱）．
Bader said that among young people，a relatively recent technological invention like the cell phone has quickly become existed nearly everywhere，giving rise to considerable pressure to keep in touch. And this pressure can develop into an addiction，with serious negative results for teenager health.
"We see more and more people--especially the young generation-- who grew up with these kinds of items and gadgets in their hands," Bader said. "And they become dependent on the technology. So，we have to teach young people to be structured. To know when to have the cell phone on，and when to switch it off. To avoid becoming the slave of technology，instead of the master. "
Dr. Mary Carskadon expressed little surprise with the finding. " Interpersonal（人际的）contact is one of the things that's best at keeping us awake，" she observed. "And so，a young person receiving cell phone texts or phone calls is going to have more deep disturbances. And they are going to be tired and restless，and probably，as a result，going to use more stimulants（兴奋剂）．And judgment is not always the best in our teenage years. So, that's where I think parental attention to this issue may be useful. "
72. Teens who become addicted to their cell phones will become．
A. too anxious to relax. B. unable to stay still.
C. unable to have real rest. D. excited to forget sleep.

A. more teens know how to make technology serve them
B. teens used to be taught how to use technology
C. we should make use of technology rather than be in the control of it
D. the young generation depends less on the technology to grow up
74. According to Dr. Mary Carskadon，how to deal with the problem?
A. Teenagers should judge how to use their phones.
B. Teenagers should reduce their interpersonal contact.
C. Teenagers should switch their phones off.
D. Parents should give more attention to children's use of phones.

C. Few cell phone calls will damage teens' friendships.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Two American scientists told the people in industrial nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of foods eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.
The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on earth, but the way we live has changed greatly. Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times. So they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes（中风） are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that early stone-age people used very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and life today.
Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals. They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables, and fruits. They did not use milk and other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. But today, we eat a large amount of dairy products and grain foods. We eat six times more salt than stone-age people. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.
People today probably do not want to live as people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate as those ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods.
56.The people in industrial nations would be much healthier if they ate ______.
A. more foods as humans living 10,000 years ago did
B. as humans living 10,000 years ago ate
C. . more kinds of food eaten by people living over 10,000 years ago
D. more of the same kinds of foods eaten by people over 10,000 years ago
57. New kinds of sicknesses have been found because ______
A. the human body has changed compared with human first appearing on earth
B. the way we live has changed a little
C. our body can’t deal with the changes in life style
D. the way we live today are improper for the human body
58. What is the main cause mentioned in the article why people suffer from a lot of new sicknesses?
A. Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise.
B. People today have a lot of alcohol.
C. . People today have more tobacco.
D. Food is quite different between life today and life in ancient times.
