Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time about eight hours after you wake up your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later. In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates(气候), where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional (传统的), people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.56. Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?A. Their body temperature bees lower. B. They sleep too little at night. C. They eat too much for lunch. D. The weather bees a lot warmer.57. If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?A. About 12:30 pm. B. About 2:30 pm C. About 1:30 pm. D. About 3:30 pm58. What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?A. Youd better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.B. You can sleep as long as you like so that you will not feel tired or sleepy.C. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.D. If your time is limited, a short nap can also help.59. Naps are good for everyone in any climate because _ .A. a nap makes both your body and mind have a good rest.B. a daily nap benefits your health.C. people who often take naps suffer less from problems such as heart disease than those who dont.D. All the above.60. What would be the best title for the text?A. Just for a Rest B. All for a NapC. A Special Sleep Pattern. D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.BThe Chinese-born American architect Ieoh Ming Pei is one of the most creative architects of our times. He has incorporated both eastern and western ideas into his designs.Ieoh Ming Pei was born in Guangzhou, China on April 26, 1917. His father was a famous banker.

In 1983, French President missioned(委任) Pei to help make the Louvre more modern. Ten years later, the pletion of Peis glass pyramid at the Louvre created a new historic landmark for Paris. Pei described it as, the greatest challenge and greatest acplishment of my career. At Fragrant Hill, a 300-room hotel in the Chinese capital, Pei has attempted to bring to his native China his often-quoted third way of making buildings. Avoiding both a plete copying of traditional Chinese motifs(特色) as well as the modernism of the West, Pei has managed, at Fragrant Hill, to make one of his most eloquent(有说服力的) statements.Pei has designed nearly 50 projects in the United States and abroad. About half of these projects have won major awards. Pei has been awarded the highest honors from nations over the world.

We can infer that about _of Ieoh Ming Peis projects have won major awards.A. 50 B. 15 C. 25 D. 35CIt is well known that the Japanese peoples love of fish is almost as strong as a bees interest in honey. As fish populations were decreasing, fishing panies were forced to fish further and further away from the shore. Then they had a big challenge how to keep the fish fresh for longer. So they decided to keep the fish stored in freezers on the boats. But the public did not like frozen fish. So again the fishing panies had a new bigger challenge. What they decided to do was to have fish tanks on their boats. After catching fishes, they would put them in the tanks and keep them living there until they got back to shore. But in this protected environment, lacking predators (掠食者), the fish stopped moving around. The Japanese public felt these dull fish did not taste fresh, which had an unpleasant effect upon sales. Once again the fishing panies had an even bigger challenge Stop for a minute! Before we go any further, I would like to ask “What are your challenges? How do you handle an unexpected challenge? ” May I think it this way that you should try to attack your challenges? Conquer them with a Swiss Army knife. Take the most proper and simple tool that you can adopt to deal with your situation. Now back to our story. How did the Japanese finally figure out the fresh fish problem? Sharks! You might think the same. Sharks were caught and put into the tanks with other fishes. Dont sharks eat fish? Well, they do eat a few fish, but they did also keep more fish active and alert (警觉的). The fish stay fresh because they are challenged. Now, try to keep yourself fresh by finding your own shark to offer yourself a challenge in your own business and career. 66The main reason for the fishing pany to fish in the far sea is that _. Athe fish resource near the shore was decreasingBthe fishes farther away from the sea tasted fresherCpeople would prefer eating fresh fishes to less fresh ones Dit was getting harder and harder to keep fishes fresh67Which was the best way for the fishing pany to keep fishes fresh? AGetting the fishes frozen. BStoring the fishes with salt.CPutting the fishes in tanks. DKeeping the fishes with sharks in tanks. 68The relationship between fishes and sharks is similar to that between _ in nature.Adogs and cats Bmonkeys and mosquitoesCwolves and antelopes Dtigers and lions 69The underlined part of the last paragraph means “_.”AIf you went fishing, you might do as the fishing panies didBTry to find a big shark, and you will meet your challenge CTo succeed in life, you should always be ready to meet challengesDSharks are usually pared to the challenges in peoples life70The purpose for the author to write the passage is to _.Atell the readers how the Japanese fishing panies workBtell the readers how the Japanese keep the fish freshCsuggest readers looking for challenges to make progressDsuggest readers finding a shark to keep the fish freshDYoung women are more adventurous than young men when traveling abroad in gap yearsOne in three female backpackers visits more than three countries during a year out and travels alone, according to new researchBy contrast, the majority of their male counterparts(对手方) visit only one country and tend to travel in groups, says a survey by the Gap Year pany, which provides information and services for students considering taking a year outMore women than men say that their prime reason for taking time off is to see the world and experience different culturesMen were more likely to rank “having fun” higher on their list of prioritiesWomen were more likely to value the challenge of a foreign trip, and many cited reasons such as learning a language and meeting new peopleThe more adventurous gap years taken by women seem to work to their benefit; more than three quarters of those surveyed reported increased confidence, self-reliance and independence, whereas only half of the men had that experienceThe research also showed that women were more likely to do voluntary work while travelling, with more than one in ten helping with teaching or development projectsOne of the reasons given for this is a wish to see the country in an authentic(真正的) lightA greater proportion(比率) of women than men faced objections or criticism from their families over their gapyear plansAmong the men surveyed, lack of money was the main barrier to travelCarolyn Martin, a doctor from London, was a typically confident female travellerStarting in Cape Town, she travelled around southern Africa and Australia with a string of unusual and sometimes dangerous jobs“I had one job chasing elephants off the runway in Africa by banging a stick against a pan，” she recalled“It was OK but one day I did get chased by one”She said that she had travelled alone because “you meet more people”71By referring to “gap year” the writer means _Aa gap you e across after leaving high schoolBa time when you are caught in a dilemma between work and studyCa period before you find a job upon your graduation from collegeDa year off between high school and college for certain purposes72According to the article, _Amost of the women students will travel abroad during the summer holidaysBone third of the women students
