Having aquick" pick-me-up" cup of coffee late in the day will playhavocwith your sleep. As well as being astimulant, caffeine interrupts the flow of melatonin, theB.rain hormone that sends people into asleep.    Melatonin levels normally start to rise about two hours before bedtime. Levels then peak be-tween 2 am and 4 am, before failing again. "It's the neurohormone that controls our sleep tells ourB.ody when to sleep and when to wake, "says Maurice Ohayon of the Stanford Sleep EpidemiologyResearch Center at Stanford University in California. but researchers in Israel have found that caf-feinated coffee halves the body's levels of this sleep hormone.Lotan Shilo and ateam at the Sapir Medical Center in Tel Aviv University found that six vol-unteers slept less well after acup of caffeinated coffee than after drinking the same amount of de-caf. On average, subjects slept 336 minutes per night after drinking caffeinated coffee, paredwith 415 minutes after decaf. They also took half an hour to drop off--twice as long as usual--andjigged around in bed twice as much.     In the second phase of the experiment, the researchers woke the volunteers every three hoursand asked them to give aurine sample. Shilo measured concentrations of abreakdown product ofmelatonin. The results suggest that melatonin concentrations in caffeine drinkers were half those indecaf drinkers. In apaper accepted for publication in Sleep Medicine, the researchers suggest thatcaffeine blocks production of the enzyme that drivestnelatonin production.     Because it can take many hours to eliminate caffeine from the body, Ohayon remends thatcoffee lovers switch to decaf after lunch.1.[不定向选择题]What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.Different effects of caffeinated coffee and decaf on sleep. B.Different findings of Lotan Shilo and ateam about caffeine. C.The fact that the subjects slept 415 tninutes per night after drinking decaf. D.The proof that the subjects took half an hour to fall asleep. 2.[不定向选择题]What does the experiment lnentioned in paragraph 4 prove?A.There are more enzymes in decaf drinkers' urine sample. B.There are more melatonin concentrations in caffeine drinkers' urine sample. C.Decaf drinkers produce less melatonin. D.Caffeine drinkers produce less sleep hormone that decaf drinkers.

1.参考答案:A
参考解析:第三段涉及的是一个实验,这个实验的目的是测试含咖啡因咖啡和脱咖啡因咖啡对睡眠的影响,该段主要谈论的是这个实验的结果。
2.参考答案:D
参考解析:第四段是第三段实验的继续,是该实验的第二阶段。研究人员通过对志愿者尿样进行化验发现,咖啡因摄入者体内的褪黑激素仅为非咖啡因摄入者的一半。褪黑激素就是睡眠激素,所以答案应该选D。3.[不定向选择题]Which of the following tells us how caffeine affects sleep?A.Caffeine blocks production of the enzyme that stops melatonin production. B.Caffeine interrupts the flow of the hormone that prevents people from sleeping. C.Caffeine halves the body's levels of sleep hormone. D.Caffeine stays in the body for many hours.
