11.About 35percent of British adults sleep with teddy bears.Many more share a bed with a partner or spouse.Others still co-sleep,alongside children in a family bed.
But lying with your iPad?A recent survey by marketing agency Rosette found that 68percent of tablet owners use the device in the bedroom,more than in any other location.The living room took a close second place,at 63percent,reports AdAge.com,and only 45percent of respondents said they use their tablets on the go.
But bringing devices into the bedroom is a bad idea,if quality rest is your goal.One of the most important factors of sleepiness is darkness,which signals to the brain that it's time to start speeding up production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin.But as the New York Times points out,in our modern world,we are exposed to light long after the sun sets.While any type of light can disturb your sleep,the blue wavelength light given off by cell phones,laptops,tablets and other gadgets is particularly troublesome.Research shows that this blue light causes alertness so decisively that it can actually be used to fight tiredness.
According to the National Sleep Foundation,95percent of Americans use some device,whether it's a TV,laptop,cell phone or other products,within an hour of killing time."Artificial light exposure between dusk and the time we go to bed at night push our sleeping sense to a later hour-making it more difficult to fall asleep,"said Charles Czeisler,Ph.D.,M.D.,chief of the division of sleep medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Instead,experts recommend turning off all devices an hour before bedtime and finding another method for relaxation,like reading a book,taking a warm bath or performing a series of calming yoga poses.It's also a good idea to exercise and lay off the caffeine several hours before bedtime.

點評 新聞報道解題技巧:第一步"看標(biāo)題信息",類似作文審題;而"揣摩記敘類型",則是指閱讀的審題目標(biāo)要比作文單一.即通過對題意的揣摩,要能辨出該文的記敘對象,是人物新聞還是事件新聞,是消息還是通迅. 第二步"抓記敘要素",這是由文體特點決定的.因為新聞的內(nèi)容,無論哪種類型,一般都離不開人物、時間、地點和事情的起因、發(fā)展、結(jié)果這六個要素. 第三步"理行文線索",即領(lǐng)悟文章的脈絡(luò)、順序,目的是理清作者的行文思路,借此可準(zhǔn)確地劃分全文的段落層次.針對考綱當(dāng)中C層級的分析綜合"分析語言特色,把握文章結(jié)構(gòu),概括中心意思"的考點.第四步"辨敘述方式",即辨析文本主要采用的敘述方式,消息一般都是采用"倒金字塔"式(即先說結(jié)果,再說重要事實,最后說次要內(nèi)容),這跟一般的記敘文不同.而通迅的敘述方式就比較靈活多變,有順敘、倒敘,中間或許還會有插敘、補敘.
