But no matter how we decide, there are still many chances that we break our promises.This behavior is called bedtime procrastination(睡眠拖延症), and results from being short of selfcontrol and our body clock.Bedtime procrastination is a common problem. According to a study, Among 2, 400 people, 53 percent of them couldnt follow their sleeping time they had planned, delaying(推迟)it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldnt stop doing some other things.Accordingly, People who usually have trouble resisting temptations(抵制诱惑) and adhering to their intentions(坚持己见) are more likely to delay going to bed.However, scientists think being short of selfcontrol is not the only problem. Our body clock also lays an important role when it comes to bedtime.In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, scientists studied the sleep patterns (t模式)of 108 people. It was found that those who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime than those who woke up early every morning.And more surprisingly, night owls(夜猫子)would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. Its their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime.People always think that bedtime procrastination isnt a big problem, but the choices we make that affect (影响)our sleep could finally be pretty important for our health.(1)Bedtime procrastination is partly because of .

(8分)阅读理解 There is an old saying in English, Laughter is the best medicine. Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects(作用) it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve peoples health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect of pain on the body less. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can make pain less seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins( 内啡肽) in the brain. These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less.There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the bodys immune system that is the system which fights infection(感染). In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group-in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells that is the cells which fight infection.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists(精神病学) in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter.(1)We learn from the first paragraph that laughter . A . is good for ones healthB . has something to do with some illnessC . has been studied long sinceD . has no effect on the body(2)Doctors have found that laughter .
