There's much to see under the sea， but you need to remember that light behaves differently in water than in air． The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are． You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it．
Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface， too． Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away． That fish might not be so big after all! It's just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!
What's more， in deeper water， colors just don't seem as bright． In fact， it looks as if some colors are missing． Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths（波长） of light that are reflected（反射） from its surface． And light is taken in as it moves down through the water．
Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater． Let's take a bright red， yellow， and blue wet suit as an example． These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water． Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water． The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths， the longest among these three colors， are missing． As you go down deeper， the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part． Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater， you will look terrible， like a ghost（鬼怪）! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again!
（1）You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because ．
A． your eyesight is quite poor
B． you are not quick enough
C． it is not as close as it seems
D． it disappears very quickly
（2）The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of of an object underwater．
A． the size
B． the color
C． the position
D． the weight
（3）The underlined word"descend" probably means in Chinese in this passage．
A．上升
B．漂浮
C．屏息
D．下潜
（4）Which of the fo1lowing is true？
A． A four﹣meter﹣long fish looks three meters long underwater．
B． The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light．
C． Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water．
D． You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea．
（5）The best title of this passage is ．
A． The Standard of Color Underwater
B． The Direction of Light Underwater
C． The Brightness of Color Underwater
D． The Behavior of Light Underwater

Put on your T﹣shirt and shorts. It's （hot） than yesterday.
"I'm going to bed earlier tomorrow! "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 self﹣control and our body clock．
Bedtime procrastination is a common problem． According to a study， Among 2， 400 people， 53 percent of them couldn't follow their sleeping time they had planned， delaying（#fE R ）it at least twice a week． They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late， but they couldn't 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 self﹣control 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． It's their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime．
People always think that bedtime procrastination isn't a big problem， but the choices we make that affect （影响）our sleep could finally be pretty important for our health．
