17、ents to give. What can be more challenging is giving teenagers their freedom. It can be difficult to draw the line between the two. However, some issues cannot be changed by discussion and require firm rules. For instance, rules should be established concerning driving the family car. I will admit t

18、hat I have no problem coming up with rules. To me they make life easier and they leave no room for questioning. What can be more difficult, however, is giving my teens their freedom. I guess there are really two primary reasons for this. One is that I sometimes am afraid to give them freedom. The se

19、cond is that Im not always so sure what the freedom should be.It helps that I have a husband with whom I can discuss these problems. We talk about them, give our thoughts and then we come up with an agreement. Sometimes one of us might be more unwilling but we know that there comes a time when we re

20、ally do have to learn how to let go of the reins (缰绳) a bit.If we try to make life have nothing but rules, we are more likely to see our teens rebelling (反抗). They need to know that while we do have certain expectations, we also trust them to begin making their own choices and decisions. How else ca

21、n they do that unless they are given the space and room to do it?Its really all about balance and I will be the first to admit that it can be a challenge to carry out. However, it is a necessary part of growing up. Yes, teens definitely need rules but they also need freedom.31. According to the firs

22、t paragraph, it is difficult to decide . A. whether the children need rules B. whether the children should be given freedom C. how much freedom should be given to children D. what issues require non-negotiable rules32. According to the text, we can infer that the author . A. refuses to give her chil

23、dren freedom B. finds it difficult to make rules C. doesnt have a good relationship with her children D. has trouble in giving freedom to her children33. According to the author, only rules without freedom will make the children . A. strong-willed B. rebellious C. weak D. independent34. Which of the

24、 following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Rules are difficult to make for parents. B. Rules and freedom are similarly important. C. We should give children freedom as much as possible. D. Rules are more important than freedom.BIf there ever was a study that people shouldnt get too little sleep

25、, its this one. People deprived (剥夺) of a good nights rest are more likely to experience changes in brain activity that can increase the urge to eat high-calorie foods.Matthew Walker at the University of California in Berkeley and his colleagues conducted the first study of brain activity in relatio

26、n to food among sleep-deprived people. The team used fMRI (功能磁共振成像) to study brain patterns of 23 people, first after a night of peaceful sleep and then after a night without sleep.Sleep deprivation reduced activity in three areas of the brain that helps process flavor signals. It also led to more a

27、ctivity in the amygdala (扁桃腺), which helps govern the motivation for eating. The team also found that volunteers considered the pictures of high-calorie foods more desirable after no sleep than after a good rest.When the researchers compared people allowed to sleep as much as they wished with those

28、who slept just two-thirds of their normal time, they found that sleep deprivation had direct effects on eating behavior. “When people were sleep deprived, they ate an extra 549 calories per day,” say the researchers.“It may make evolutionary sense,” says Laurent Brondel at the University of Burgundy

29、 in Dijon, France. The long summer days at higher latitudes deprive animals of sleep, but animals use their time awake to eat more, which helps them get through the short days of winter when there is not enough food. “Thats only part of the story, though,” says Stephanie Greer, another member of the

30、 team. The body does need more energy if someone remains awake for longer, but the high-calorie foods that become more desirable after sleep deprivation would more than meet this additional need. The changes in food desirability encouraged by the sleep-deprived brain may originally have been importa

31、nt adaptation but today they no longer benefit our health.Brondel agrees with this conclusion. “Sleep deprivation could, by an unknown mechanism, modify the pleasant sensation and change eating behavior,” he says. Whatever the mechanism is, theres one clear message from the study. “These findings pr

32、ovide opportunities to adjust our behavior in new ways to handle such health issues,” says Greer. “Specifically, our study indicates that one choice people can make is to regularly obtain enough amounts of sleep.” 35. Matthew Walker conducted the study on sleep-deprived people to _. A. learn more about sleep patterns B. warn of the danger of high-calorie foods C. show the i
