One legend （传说）dates as far back as the days of Roman Empire（帝国）. According to the story， Claudius, the Emperor of Rome, wanted to increase the size of the army. He knew that it would be easier to get young men who were not married to join the army. Therefore, he made a rule that no young men could marry until he had served in the army for a certain number of years. A priest (牧师) named Valentine broke the rule and secretly married a great number of young people. Finally, Claudius found out about Valentine and put the priest in prison, where he remained until his death on February 14. After his death, Valentine was made a saint （圣人）and the day of his death was named Saint Valentines Day. It became the custom for lovers to send each other message on this day. Now Saint Valentines Day is a time for people to send one another their greeting of many kinds. February 14, Valentines Day, is sweethearts day, on which people in love with each other express their tender emotions（感情）. People sometimes put their love message in a heart-shaped box of chocolates or a bunch of flowers tied with red ribbons(带子).

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.51.

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 tied 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.54.

Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist(精神科医生) heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center. Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set(很可能的) to increase this year. Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of “Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money to the Side”. The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters in 1997 took a second job to meet household(家庭) expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things. People also take second jobs with an eye to the futurewanting to try out a new field or gain experience. Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable(不稳定的). He wanted to make sure he wasnt tied to one system that ended up failing. Just as the purposes for moonlighting are different, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries-no longer just service，office and sales jobs. As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time. Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some panies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees 9-to-5 performance. “The primary employer is saying, Wait, Im paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. “If youre burning yourself at both ends, its going to show.” Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra ine, moonlighters enjoy variety(多样性), freedom and chance to do something new. They also may find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time. Besides, “its fun,” Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldnt find just in a full-time job. “Its a way of pulling from the spice cabinet(调料箱),” he says, “and offering a little variety throughout the day.” 56. What is the closest definition(定义) of “moonlight”? A. Go out at night. B. Do some secret things at night. C. Go out for a walk at night. D. Take some part-time jobs at night.57. What is the article mainly about? A. The reasons for moonlighting. B. The ways of moonlighting. C. The problems with moonlighting. D. The kinds of people who moonlight. 58. The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that _. A. he found it exciting to do a part-time job B. he feared he would lose his present job one day C. he needed to make ends meet with more money D. he felt more and more pressure from his employer 59. Some panies dont allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid _. A. their workers cannot do extra-hour work for them B. their workers will be too tired to try their best at work C. their workers will one day turn to some other different jobs D. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time 60. The underlined sentence “Its a way of pulling from the spice cabinet.” in the last paragraph means _. A. moonlighting brings you chances to do something different B. moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra money C. moonlighting strengthens your professional skills D. moonlighting gets you away from the job you dont enjoy ECell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?Millions of people.are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of munication- having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone panies are worried about the negative publicity(宣传) of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.On the other hand, why do some medical-studies show changes in the brain cells(细胞) of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the tissues(组织) of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (扫描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldnt remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employers doctor didnt agree.What is it that makes mobile phones potentially(可能地) harmful? The answer is radiation(辐射). High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone panies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that its best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and co
