And if you have kids, your divorce risk is three to six times higher than normal.
"You"re out of sync with everything and everybody," says Acacia Aguirre, MD, PhD, author of an eye-opening new report. Your biological clock is thrown off, too. How to survive: "A healthy lifestyle matters even more," Aguirre says. "Exercise, limit coffee, and fit in 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day."

单选题The word conservation has a thrifty (节俭的) meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers (祖先) had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw (天然的) materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were "limitless and inexhaustible". Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated (复杂的), and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others. Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word "conservation" had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today. For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyone's daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to benefit the soil fully before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living space for most of man's fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume(立方)above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original (原始的) beauty of nature as we can.

单选题CARIFF, Wales poets, singers and musicians from across the globe gathered Wales to celebrate the tradition(传统)of storytelling. "It might seem strange that people still want to listen to instead of watching television, but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again, "said David Amibrose, director of Beyond the Border, an international storytelling festival(节)in Wales.
"Some of the tales, like those of the Inuit from Canada, are thousands years old. So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time. " he said early this month. Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound.
Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentively. Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving (coming back into use or existence)storytelling in Wales.
"It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here." Ambrose said.
