Vivi 說:
Night-shift work linked to cancer
Cindy 說:
Yep.
S'uzanne 說:
Yeah, that's a really new research.
Vivi 說:
We just knew that burning the nigh oil hurts our liver.
S'uzanne 說:
Let's start from the first paragraph
Cindy 說:
Ok.
Cindy 說:
and it also causes other problems, such as the breast cancer.
Wendy 說:
But it's easy for university students to do that.
Vivi 說:
We often sleep late to do meaningless things.
Wendy 說:
Yes. That' s what I mean.
Vivi 說:
For example, chating online with friends.
S'uzanne 說:
And watch movies at night
Cindy 說:
As time goes by, our health situations may get worse.
Vivi 說:
Yes, but the workers do not have choices.
S'uzanne 說:
They have to support their families by working.
Wendy 說:
What is the reason to make a person to find a night-shift job?
S'uzanne 說:
Maybe they have to do another job at day.
S'uzanne 說:
Most people who work at night is people with low social status.
Wendy 說:
Oh, but it gets them higher opportunities to get cancer.
Cindy 說:
Right. And the WHO will add overnight shift work as a probable reason of cancer.
Vivi 說:
But those experts do not think Night-shift work is the only reason for cancer, right?
S'uzanne 說:
I think you are right.However, scientists suspect that overnight work is dangerous because it disrupts the circadian rhythm, the body's biological clock.
Vivi 說:
Yeah, the constant work and rest is important.
Cindy 說:
Yes. The body produces hormone melatonin at night , which can suppress tumor development. So rest is improtant.
Wendy 說:
I think it is also vital to take a body examination.
Wendy 說:
If we have the cancer tumor in our body, we can take the therapy ealier.
Cindy 說:
But people have little time to go to the hospital and have a check.
Cindy 說:
You know, they just think that they have lots of work to do.
Vivi 說:
Yes, the basic measure we should take is going to bed early.
S'uzanne 說:
We should try to reach this goal as well.
S'uzanne 說:
Because not getting enough sleep makes your immune system vulnerable to attack, and less able to fight off potentially cancerous cells.
Wendy 說:
As the matter of fact, we seldom take seriously about this thing.
Wendy 說:
University students spend too much time on chatting and going out with friends at night.
S'uzanne 說:
Researcher advises workers to sleep in a darkened room once they get off work. "The balance between light and dark is very important for your body. Just get a dark night's sleep."
Cindy 說:
That's a good idea. it's said that work in the artifical light can cut down the cancer rate.
Vivi 說:
I think that the boss of companies should care about employee's bodies.
Cindy 說:
Of course.
Wendy 說:
You mean they should let their employees take turn doing the night-shift work
S'uzanne 說:
That might be a good idea to be carried out.
Vivi 說:
No, the article said "If you worked at night and stayed on it, that would be less disruptive than constantly changing shifts."
Cindy 說:
Uh, the worse situation is flipping between night and daytime shifts.
Vivi 說:
We tend to misunderstand this concept.
Wendy 說:
But how can these people, who take the night-shift work, decrease the possibilities to get cancer?
Wendy 說:
Especially liver cancer.
S'uzanne 說:
Scientist are trying to invent a kind of light that doesn't do people harm.
S'uzanne 說:
Maybe that's the way.
Vivi 說:
But the current result is not satisfied by pepole.
Vivi 說:
Due to the red light.
S'uzanne 說:
The color that seems to have the least effect on melatonin is one that few people would enjoy working under: red.
S'uzanne 說:
That the quote from the article
Wendy 說:
If i am the worker, i won't enjoy doing things under the light, either.
Wendy 說:
It makes me feeling nervous,
S'uzanne 說:
and uncomfortable.
Wendy 說:
That's right.
Cindy 說:
So we must come back to the basic way of solving the problem.
Wendy 說:
At least we should try our best to protect our body from disease.
S'uzanne 說:
We can only hope that researchers can come up with a new invention to change this situation.
Cindy 說:
That's right.
Wendy 說:
Therefore, the conclusion is..
S'uzanne 說:
We have to get on bed and turn off our light right now.
S'uzanne 說:
So, end of our discussion.
Vivi 說:
OK, good night.
S'uzanne 說:
Have a sweet dream.
S'uzanne 說:
Ladies, let's go to sleep so we won't afflict over breast cancer.
Wendy 說:
That's a pratical suggestion.
S'uzanne 說:
I totally agree.
Wendy 說:
So, good night then.
S'uzanne 說:
Bye, ladies.
Cindy 說:
Ok~good night, everyone.
