26、Do You Have’ Social Jet Lag(社交时差)？

People who have different sleep patterns on the weekends than they do during the work week may experience “social jet lag”.【1】 For every hour of social jet lag, the risk of being overweight or obese rises about 33%,says researcher Till Roenneberg, PhD, a professor at the Institute of Medical Psychology at the University of Munich.

Roenneberg, who created the term, says social jet lag is caused by the shift in sleep schedule that many people experience on their days off, compared to work days.【2】

It goes like this: You don’t have to get up for work so you don’t take trouble setting the alarm. That means you get up an hour or two later than you might during the work week.【3】

As a result, many people get more sleep on their days off than they do during the week, and they sleep on a slightly different schedule-a schedule that is closer to their body’s natural rhythms.

【4】 “The behavior looks like most people on a Friday evening fly from Paris to New York or from Los Angeles to Tokyo and on Monday they fly back. Since this looks like almost a travel jet lag situation, we call it social jet lag.” he says.

【5】When you arrive in a different place, the sun is coming up and setting at a different time, and your body can reset its own clock to match. With social jet lag, the schedule disturbance is lasting because a person stays in the same place. “They have to live a life almost in a different time zone in comparison to their biological clock,”Ronneberg says.

A.Sleep, he thinks ,should get more respect.

B.He guesses that it affects about two-thirds of the population.

C.A key difference between travel jet lag and social jet lag, however, is light.

D.And depending on what type of person you are, the difference can be significant.

E.Roenneberg explains switching sleep schedules this way feels like changing time zones.

F.A new study shows this shift in sleep schedule is connected with obesity.

G.You may also push your bedtime back so you can go out with friends.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.

Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.

Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.

Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.

A liar refuses eye contact.

People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.

Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.

Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.
