They were asked to get a good nights sleep for two nights.A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row.The researchers took make-up free(素顏) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge(評(píng)價(jià)) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.The strangers also said they wouldnt want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In other words, people dont want to hang around with people who might be ill.Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said Judgment of attractiveness is often unconscious(無(wú)意識(shí)的), hut we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us.（1）The researchers asked the strangers to do the following except _.

No attractiveness, No friends.13. （8分）閱讀理解 In the universe, as we know, there is the Sun, the moon, the Earth and a good many stars. Through our geography lessons, we know the Earth goes around the Sun, and the moon goes around the Earth. We have day and night because the Earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the Earth turns to the Sun, it is day. When our part of the Earth turns away from the Sun, it is night.Just because the moon is closer to the Earth than the Sun, it looks much bigger than the Sun. Big things will look smaller when they are farther, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.The Sun is bright enough to give out very strong light. The moon cant give any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why？In fact, the light from the moon comes from the Sun. The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually (事實(shí)上) the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon also because they are farther away from the Earth.There are still many other planets in the universe. But of all these planets, only on Earth there are living things and people can only live on Earth, too. But at 900 am on October 15th 2003,Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei was set up to space.

Have you ever thought about these questions: Why are they there? What information do they give? Do they help with our reading and understanding? Graphics are things like pictures, maps, charts and tables. They give information to readers. Very often, we can see different kinds of graphics in books, magazines and newspapers. Writers use graphics to get the readers attention and give them some particular(特別的)information. Graphics help to understand the given information in a text. And graphics put the information in a particular order so that its easy to understand when we take a quick look. It is not always true that a picture is worth a thousand words. But many things are easier to show than to tell and they may also be easier to understand. Graphics are just the right things that give a great deal of information but it doesnt take much time to read and understand. The right way to read and understand a graphic is to look at the picture and the words together. In a graphic, only a few words are used to explain what the picture shows you. Sometimes, numbers and percentages(百分比) are also given to go with the words to explain things. Now look at the graphic on the right. It is how a researcher used a graphic to show the number of hours spent sleeping by British teenagers each day. Can you understand it? （1）Which of the following is mentioned as a graphic? A .
