He was assassinated in April of 1865.Almost immediately, officials began planning details of the presidents funeral. They asked Mrs. Lincoln where she wanted her husband buried. At first, she said Chicago. That was where the Lincolns were going to live after they left the White House.Then she said the Capitol building in Washington. A tomb had been built there for Americas first President, George Washington. But it had never been used.Finally, she remembered a country cemetery they had visited.At the time, her husband had said，“When I am gone, lay my remains in some quiet place like this.” So Mrs. Lincoln decided that the presidents final resting place would be in the quiet, beautiful Oak Ridge Cemetery outside their home town of Springfield, Illinois.For several days after Lincolns assassination, his body lay in the East Room of the White House. The room was open to the public all day. Next, the body was taken to the Capitol building. Again, the public could come to say goodbye.

A team at the Institute of Cancer Research in London found women had larger waistlines if their bedroom was “light enough to see across” at night. However, they caution there is not enough evidence to advise people to buy thicker curtains or turn off lights.来源:Z+xx+k.ComThe women were asked to rate the amount of light in their bedrooms at night as：Light enough to read. Light enough to see across the room, but not read. Light enough to see your hand in front of you, but not across the room. Too dark to see your hand or you wear a mask.Prof.Anthony Swerdlow told the BBC：“In this very large group of people there is an association between reported light exposure at night and overweight and obesity. But there is not sufficient evidence to know if making your room darker would make any difference to your weight. There might be other explanations for the association, but the findings are intriguing enough to guarantee further scientific investigation.”The light is disrupting the body clock, which stems from our evolutionary past when we were active when it was light in the day and resting when it was dark at night. Light alters mood，physical strength and even the way we process food in a 24hour cycle. Artificial light is known to disrupt the body clock by delaying the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.Prof.DerkJan Dijk said there would be no harm in trying to make bedrooms darker. He told the BBC：“People in general are not aware of the light present in their bedroom. I think people should assess their bedroom and see how easy it would be to make it darker.” Street lights, some alarm clocks and standby lights on electrical equipment such as televisions could light a room, he said.“Overall this study points to the importance of darkness，” he concluded.来源:学科网5The passage mainly tells us _Abright bedrooms link to obesityBdark bedrooms link to obesityCpeople should turn off lightsDpeople should buy thicker curtains6What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 mean?AStopping.
