Which of the following is not true according to the passage? A. Shanghai World Expo 2010 is the one that is held every five years. B. Shanghai World Expo 2010 is the first one that will take place in the developing country. C. Shanghai World Expo 2010 is called the Olympic pageant of the field of economy, science, technology and culture. D. Shanghai World Expo 2010 is a successful, splendid and memorable pageant. B WHAT makes you sleepy every night at 10 o'clock and awake at 8 o'clock the next morning? It's your "body clock". It controls your nightly habits. It makes you feel sleepy and at other times awake. But what controls your body clock? What changes it according to different situations? US scientists found that a light-sensitive protein in the retina is important in setting the "body clock" in animals. On December 20, the finding of this protein was listed as one of the 10 scientific breakthroughs of year 2002 by the famous magazine Science. Most blind people don't respond to changes in the length of day. This led scientists to study that special protein in the retina. Scientists studied mice that had been created to lack the gene for this protein. They found that, compared with normal mice, these animals showed less of a response to changes in light - their body clocks did not "reset" as often as those of normal mice did. "The clock is not getting all of the light information because the retina lacks the protein, and the body clock 'sees' less light," Dr. Norman F. Ruby, one of the scientists, explained. When people have a work shift changes or travel across time zones, scientists wanted to understand how the body "resets" its clock. Now this finding confirms that this protein plays a vital role in making the body clock adapt to the outside world. With the growing understanding of how the body sets its clock, some scientists hope to use this to make better drugs and treatment for particular sleep disorders like insomnia . Besides governing the sleep-wake cycle, the body clock plays a central role in hormone production, blood pressure and body temperature. Body clock disturbances can cause health results, from stomach upset and ulcers to heart disease. 【查看更多】
