after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food, police and local media reported on saturday. the 45-year-old from southern sweden was found on friday, february17, too weak to say more than a few words. he was found not far from the city of umea in the north of sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside. the man, who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since december 19. “just incredible that hes alive considering that he had no food, but also since its been really cold for some time after christmas.” a rescue team member told regional daily vasterbottens- kuriren, which broke the news. ebbe nyberg, duty officer at the umea police, said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time. “we would not make up something like this. the rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told vasterbottens-kuriren. umea university hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances. doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的）state, physician stefan branth told vasterbottens-kuriren. “a bit like a bear that hibernates. humans can do that.” he said. “he probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.” “why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,” police said.51who found the swedish man in the snow? asnowmobilers.

the passage mainly talk about?a. two b. three c. four. d. fivecjudging from recent surveys, most experts in sleep behaviour agree that there is an epidemic (流行病) of sleepiness in the nation. “i cant think of a single study that hasnt found americans getting less sleep than they ought to,” says dr. david. even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest.the beginning of our sleep-lack crises can be traced back to the invention of the light bulb a century ago. from diary entries and our personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night. “the best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening on the farm, and it was dark.” by the 1950s and 1960s, the sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7.5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. “people cheat in their sleep, and they dont even realize theyre doing it,” says dr. david. “they think theyre okay because they can manage with 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, 8 or even more to feel ideally energetic.”perhaps the most cruel robber of sleep, researches say, is the complexity of the day. whenever pressures from work, family, friends and community increase, many people consider sleep the least expensive item on their programme. “in our society, youre considered energetic if you say you need only 5.5 hours sleep. if you have to get 8.5 hours, people think you lack drive and ambition.”to determine the consequences of sleep-lack, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier. “weve found that if youre lacking in sleep, performance suffers,” says dr. david. “short-term memory is weakened, so are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate.” 61. what is the main topic of the passage?a. research on the causes and consequences of sleep-lack.b. the epidemic of sleepiness in the modern times.c. the history of peoples sleeping patterns.d. the minimum of our sleeping hours. 62. which of the following is dr. davids opinion? a. people who think they are sleeping enough are better off than those who dont. b. some people can remain energetic with only 6.5 hours sleep a night.c. if they get 8.5 hours sleep, people will be full of drive and ambition.d. peoples performance becomes worse if they are lacking in sleep. 63. people in the 18th and 19th centuries slept about 9.5 hours a night because _.a. they were forced by their parents to do sob. they knew what was best for their healthc. they had no electricityd. they were not so energetic and ambitious as modern people are 64. the major cause of sleep-lack of modern people is _.a. the endless tv programmes in the evenings and on the internetb. the heavy work load of the dayc. the enough energy modern people usually haved. loud noises in the modern cities 65. what does the word “subject” in paragraph 4 mean?a. person or thing that is being discussed or described.b. branch of knowledge studied in a school.c. person or thing being treated in a certain way or being experimented on.d. any member of a state apart from the supreme ruler.第二节
