Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four
comprehension
questions.
Read
the
passage
and
answer
the
questions.
Then
mark
your
answer on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Animals react to the changing seasons with changes in mood and behavior and human
beings
are
no
exception.
Most
people
find
they
eat
and
sleep
slightly
more
in
winter
and dislike the dark mornings and short days. For some, however, symptoms (
症状
)
are severe enough to damage their lives and to cause considerable stress. These
people
are
suffering
from
SAD.
The
symptoms
tend
to
start
from
around
September
each
year lasting until April, but are at their worst in the darkest months.
The standard figure says that around
2% of
people in Northern Europe suffer badly,
with
many
more
(10%)
putting
up
with
milder
symptoms.
Across
the
world
the
incidence
(
发生?/p>
)
increases
with
distance
from
the
equator
(
赤道
),
except
where
there
is
snow
on the ground, when it becomes less common. More women than men are found having
SAD. Children and young people can also suffer from it.
The problem
stems from the lack
of bright
light
in winter. Researchers have proved
that
bright
light
makes
a
difference
to
the
brain
chemistry,
although
the
exact
means
by which sufferers are affected is not yet known.
As the cause is lack of bright light, the treatment is to be in bright light every
day by using a lightbox or a similar bright treatment. (Going to a brightly-lit
climate, whether skiing or somewhere hot, is indeed a cure). The preferred level
