【題目】 Read the article carefully and answer the questions.

Could getting a good night’s sleep avoid putting on weight for children?

According to a new study, putting preschoolers in bed by 8 P.M. could reduce their chances of becoming overweight later in life by half. Preschoolers are children around the age of 4 or 5.

The researchers from Ohio State University wrote their findings in the Journal of Pediatrics. They have found that young children who go to bed after 9 P.M. are twice as likely to be obese later in life. The lead author of the study is Sarah Anderson. She says that it’s very important for parents to create a bedtime routine for their children.

How was the research conducted? Researchers chose 977 children for it. These children are part of a larger project called the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. The project follows healthy babies born in 1991 in ten U.S. cities. In order to have a clearer picture of the results, researchers then divided the children into three groups:

*those who went to bed by 8 P.M. or earlier;

*those who went to bed between 8 P.M. and 9 P.M.;

*those whose bedtimes were after 9 P.M.

When these children turned 15 years old, the researchers looked at the results of the study. Of those with the earliest bedtimes, only one out of ten was obese. Of those who went to bed between 8 and 9 at night. 16 percent of the children became obese. And out of those with the latest bedtimes, 23 percent of the children became obese.

“Having a usual bedtime routine can lower children’s risk of becoming overweight. Besides, as usual, early bedtime is also likely to have positive effects on behavior and social development,” said Professor Anderson.

【1】Where were the researchers from? (within 6 words)

【2】How many children were chosen for the research? ( within 2 words)

【3】Why did the researchers divide the children into three groups? (with 9 words)

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成句子。

Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places, but also one of its greatest mysteries. Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. Especially in June, people go to this place because they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.

For many years historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.

Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar (日歷). The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones can prevent illness while keeping people healthy. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for. But most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose.

【1】Stonehenge is one of ________, as well as greatest mysteries in Britain.

【2】People go to Stonehenge in June, in order to _________.

【3】Historian Paul Stoker thinks Stonehenge can’t be a ________, because the leaders arrived in England much later.

【4】The large stones were put together in a certain way, so Stonehenge might be ________.

【5】________ is sure what Stonehenge was used for.
