上海市民办金盟学校(五四制)2023-2024学年九年级上学期12月课堂练习英语试题

 D. Read and answer the questions. (根据短文回答问题,请完整回答)

Could getting a good night's sleep avoid (避免) 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 or obese (肥胖) 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 (进行)? 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 in ten America 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. and9 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 (积极的) effects on behaviour and social development, " said Professor Anderson.

tests     same     out     refuse     with     heavier   or   healthy   like     four

There are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight? Let's do a test.

First, put two objects with the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap (包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other with white. Now hold the boxes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} your hand one by one. Which one is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ? It is certain that you will think the red one is heavier. Why do you think so? A scientist did many {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and found that different colors have different weights in a man's mind.

Also, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be {#blank#}6{#/blank#} by using the colors you like. Or you'll be nervous {#blank#}7{#/blank#} even get ill. For example, you {#blank#}8{#/blank#} blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows and wallpaper for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for {#blank#}9{#/blank#} hours. But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only an hour, And, if a person walks {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
