summary
first two paragraphs successfully attract audiences’ attention by using a poetic comparison between planet and human body, then gave us a news of Nobel prize issue in this year.
middle 11 paragraphs introduce how they carry out experiment and what they learned from the results. These three scientists used fruits flies to isolate a gene that controls the rhythm of living organism’s daily life. We don’t care about details in their work,
last 13 paragraphs use new knowledge to guide people’s sleep habit ,and give the terrible insight body changes causing of sleep deprivation. And list several diseases that may easily end your life.
for a very long time, people tend to believe it is the light that influence plants’ daily rhythm of life. the 2017 Nobel prize in physiology and medicine was awarded to three scientists jointly who used fruit flies to isolate a gene that controls the rhythm of a living organism’s daily life. It is the first time that we obtained scientific proof to elucidate that all living organisms contain a tiny body clock influencing our daily rhythm of life. This tiny clock is crucial to human health.
這篇文章主要介紹了實(shí)驗(yàn)組成，果蠅實(shí)驗(yàn)發(fā)現(xiàn)控制時(shí)間的主基因和作用機(jī)理，哺乳動物此類基因表達(dá)的主要集中區(qū)域，并以此說明光線對睡眠的影響。通過分析實(shí)驗(yàn)得到新的知識：此時(shí)鐘基因影響身體各器官的工作狀態(tài)，并分析了睡眠不足所導(dǎo)致一些疾病，給出一些建議。最后例舉了海軍和青少年作息制度的改變

《黃帝內(nèi)經(jīng)》有了科學(xué)依據(jù)，而不只是經(jīng)驗(yàn)總結(jié)
theoretical proof not just experience conclusion
Huangdi Neijing, a traditional Chinese medical work, was proved scientific indicating that it is not just a summary of experience.
2.
睡眠不足或是不規(guī)律導(dǎo)致肥胖／高血壓／器官加速衰老的重要原因
sleep deprivation or irregularity account for obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, organ failure and so on, if you would like to live longer, please obey the regulation of circadian rhythm.
3.
避免作息不規(guī)律，保證充足睡眠
Modern lifestyle will lead to long-time health consequences by messing the natural circadian cycle.so we should avoid irregular sleep patterns and guarantee enough rest on the right time.
4.we always confuse about why the doctor perform cardiac surgery in the afternoon, evidence supported by this study shows that blood pressure in the morning is highest during one day.
5.I believe that many people would like to know if this master gene will change to adapt to modern life style several centuries later, and what would happen cause of this change.
好奇是否未來的人的這種基因。。。
修改會怎么樣？
the article is engaging or informative?
both
It tell us the truth of sleep and give us some advice, it is very useful for us nerve graduate students to keep healthy and not to die early.It is informative because of the writer not only describe the new discovery but also apply new knowledge into life and work for trying to explain the actual harm did by sleep deprivation.
a problem? A solution?
it put a common problem of not just in western society but also in east society, and use the new discovery and analyzation to give us advice
