It was Monday afternoon. Pointing to the blackboard, Mr. Hayes reminded his students, “You should hand in your book

Jane 2024 report next Monday.”
Katy said in a low voice, “I haven’t started yet.”
Tom looked surprised, “I’ve already finished reading mine”
“We still have a whole week,” Katy said, “There’s plenty of time. I will start reading it tonight right after the soccer practice.”
But Katy was too tired to read after the soccer practice. “I’ll start the book tomorrow,” she told herself.
Tuesday came. Katy watched TV for a few hours, and then worked on her coin collection until bedtime. “It’s too late to read now.” Katy decided. “Tomorrow, I’ll start it for sure.”
On Wednesday, Tom warned her not to leave things until the last minute. “It’s not the last minute,” Katy told him. “I still have four whole days left.”
Unfortunately, she had to clean up her messy room first. Then, she was too tired to read. So Katy put off starting her book until Thursday.
Katy finally began reading her book on Thursday. It was so hard that she had read only a few pages by bedtime. On Friday night, Katy gave up watching her favorite video, for she had to read her book. Then on Saturday morning, she went on reading it.
“At least I have the whole weekend,” she thought. However, she forgot her soccer game! So she lost several hours to read, which made her even more worried.
Katy read for the rest of Saturday, and she thought to herself, “I wish I’d started it earlier, like Tom!”
Katy finally finished reading her book on Sunday morning and stayed up writing her book report until midnight. She looked tiered and nervous, thinking to herself, “I think this project has taught me an important lesson.” 24. What did Mr. Hayes remind his students to work on?

Different from common belief, blue light may not have a strong negative effect as people thought—according to the
scientists from the University of Manchester.
It’s known that our body clock measures brightness through melanopsin(黑素蛋白), a specialized light sensitive
protein in the eye. So there has been lots of interest in studying the influence of light on the body clock. Researchers changed the make-up of short and long wavelength light, which provided a small difference in brightness, as well as changes in color. Findings suggested blue light might be troublesome to our sleep patterns.
The new research, however, used a different method, since the changes in color may oppose the benefits from reducing
the brightness signals detected(探测) by melanopsin. The team used specially designed lighting to change color without changing brightness.
Findings of the new research showed that blue colors produced weaker effects on the subjects’ body clock than equally
bright yellow colors. “Our recognition of color comes from the retinal cone cells(视网膜锥形细胞), and the blue color signals they supply reduce the influence of light on the body clock,” explained the lead researcher. “The research shows the common view that blue light has the strongest effect on the body clock is misguided.”
According to the team, using dim(昏暗的), cooler lights in the evening and bright warmer lights during the day may be more beneficial to ensure healthy patterns of sleep. Twilight(暮光) is both dimmer and bluer than daylight and the body clock uses both of those features to decide on the proper times to be asleep and awake.
The findings have important suggestions for the design of lightening and visual displays which aim to promote people’s sleep patterns. Present technologies are mostly designed to limit our evening exposure to blue light by changing the screen color of mobile devices. The technology, however, may send the body clock mixed messages. This is because the small changes in brightness they produce come along with colors that are commonly seen during the day. So there’s more for the designers to take into consideration.
Setting our body clocks in line with our social and work schedules can be good for our health, and using color correctly could be a way to help us better achieve that.
27. The writer mentions different research methods in Paragraph 2 and 3 to __________.
A. suggest how the data of the research should be collected B. explain why the findings of the old research are reasonable C. discuss possible ways of studying the influence of blue light D. show the progress in the methods used in the studies of blue light
28. According to the new findings, what should the designers take into consideration?
