1 . Sleep problems in early childhood may be linked to the development of certain mental health disorders in adolescence, according to a new research.

A study of 7,155 children in the United Kingdom found that waking up frequently during the night and irregular sleep routines as babies and toddlers was linked to psychotic experiences in children aged 12 and 13. Also, children who slept for shorter periods at night were more likely to be associated with borderline personality disorder at ages 11 and 12.

The research, published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, was the first time possible links between early childhood sleep problems and adolescent psychotic experiences and borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptoms have been examined.

“We know from previous research that persistent nightmares in children have been associated with both psychosis and borderline personality disorder,” said lead author Isabel at the Institute of Mental Health at the University of Birmingham.

“But nightmares don’t tell the whole story. We’ve found that, in fact, a number of behavioral sleep problems in childhood can point towards these problems in adolescence,” she said.

Adolescence, typically defined as the ages between 10 and 19, is a key period in human development because of brain and hormonal changes, and it is now thought to be when many mental health problems start.

Prior research in Australia found that babies with persistent severe sleep problems in their first year were at greater risk for anxiety and emotional issues in later childhood. Sleep problems in children and adolescents have been shown to predict the development of various emotional and behavioral problems, including depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, risk-taking and aggression. However, findings have been inconsistent, especially when based on objective measurements of sleep, rather than parental reports.

Sleep and mental health are closely connected in adults, with sleep problems increasing the risk for developing particular mental illnesses as well as resulting in mental health issues.

1. What can we know from paragraph 3?

A．Childhood sleep problems probably cause youth mental health problems.

B．Severe sleep problems in childhood lead to emotional issues.

C．Persistent nightmares in children are closely related to psychosis.

9 . As a boy, Sanders was much influenced (影响) by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.

During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon (外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.

After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity (机会) to go on working as a life-saver.

1. When he was a small boy, books about the sea had made Sanders want to be ________.

A．a surgeon	B．an army man
C．a sailor	D．a life-saver

2. At the age of 14, Sanders ________.

A．worked as a doctor by cleaning the medicine bottles

B．met some doctors who were very friendly to him

C．was interested in talking with patients

D．remained together with the doctors

3. His experience in the Army proved that ________.

A．he was good at medical operations on the wounded

B．he succeeded in teaching people how to save their lives themselves

C．a doctor was the happiest man

D．his wish of being a life-saver could hardly come true

4. When the war was over, he ________.

A．learned from an old doctor because he was popular

B．started to hate the sight of blood while working

C．served the countrymen under an old doctor who needed someone to help him

D．had few chances to be a “life-saver” because he was younger

10 . We have heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless(无线的) technology might change our lives in the future.

5G technology promises the internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than 4G systems. While 5G is set to be used in some limited areas of America this year, much of the world is not expected to receive widely used service until 2023.

One project in Britain, however, is already testing this super fast technology on an unlikely group Internet users—cows. The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems, Inc. It also receives money from the British government. Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G in countryside areas around the world.

Testing areas were set up at farms in 3 countryside areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G devices(装置)that connect to a robotic milking(挤奶) system,which uses sensors(传感器) and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks towards an automatic gate. During the milking, machines give food for the cow as a reward.

Other 5G technology tools include automated brushes that turn on when the cow rubs up(蹭) against them. Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows living areas depending on the weather. And, an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always have enough to eat.

Duncan Forbes, head of a government-funded agricultural engineering organization, told Reauters that the project shows the farm’s cow operation can be greatly improved with 5G technology and that the experiment provided strong evidence that 5G technology can be widely used in the future, not just on farms in Britain,but in countryside across the world.

1. What is the aim of Cisco Systems Inc’s project?

A．To win financial support from the British government

B．To test the effects of 5G technology on animals

C．To promote its technological development in Britain

D．To expand the future use of 5G in countryside

2. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The project	B．The company
C．The technology	D．The group

3. What can we learn about 5G according to the text?

A．It is no worse than 4G in terms of speed

B．It is already widely used all over the world

C．It has made improvements in operating the cows

D．It is based on sensors and machine learning

4. In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?

A．Entertainment	B．Lifestyle
C．Education	D．Technology
