In fact, says David Dings，a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine,“Theres even a prohibition(禁止) against admitting we need sleep”. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness（淘气的）eleven.”The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,”says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified（发现） an “American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, President Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze(瞌睡) every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have“a mid afternoon quiet phase,” also called” a secondary sleep gate.” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.We superstars of Snooze dont nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we snack” on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.36. It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is .A. unreasonable B. criminal C. harmful D. costly37. The research done by the Dement Commission shows that Americans A. dont like to take naps B. are terribly worried about their national debtC. think that sleeping less is good for them D. have caused many industrial and traffic accidents 38. The purpose of this article is to A. warn us of the wickedness of nappingB. explain the danger of sleepinessC. discuss the side effects of nappingD. convince the reader of the necessity of napping39. The “ American sleep debt” (Line 1, Para.3) is the result of .A. the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep B. the new sleep policy of the Clinton AdministrationC. the rapid development of American industry D. the Americans worry about the danger of sleepiness40. The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is .A. preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shift B. good practice to eat something light before we go to bed C. essential（基本的）to make up for lost sleep D. natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itB“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.There have been many men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and no uncles, aunts or friend to help them. Schools were few. They could not depend upon them for an education. They saw how it was and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way till they become well-known.One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help make men of yourself.”Some young men dont try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. They can never gain achievements unless they see their weak points and change their coarse. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.41Which of the following titles fits this article best?AWhat Nature Says to Every Man BHow to Be famousCMen Must Help Each Other DDepend on Yourself42According to the famous teacher in England, a teacher can .Amake his pupils worthy menBhelp his pupils find a way to be famousChelp his pupils make themselves useful menDmake his pupils men of strength and courage43If young people depend on their own efforts .Athey are sure to be very famous in the worldBthey can be successful in their livesCthey can live without their familiesDthey no longer need any helpCWhat will man be like in the future in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modem life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.44. The passage mainly tells us that . A. mans life will be different in the future B. what will man look like in the future C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D. humans organs functions will become weak45. The change in mans size of forehead will probably be because . A. he makes use only 20% of the brains capacity B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on46. What will be true about a human being in the future? A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful. B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses. C. His fingers will grow weaker because he wont have to make use of them. D. He will think and feel in a different way.D Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycleThey compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake. If it is a matter in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in such routine(日常的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what he does not know.47.According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_.A listening to skilled peoples advice.B asking older people many questionsC making mistakes and having them correctedD doing what other people do48.Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?.A Give children correct answersB Allow children to mark mistakes.C Point out childrens mistakes to them.D Let children mark their own work49.According to the writer, teachers in school should _A allow children to learn from each otherB point out childrens mistakes whenever foundC correct childrens mistakes as soon as possibleD give children more book knowledge50.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are_A different from learning other skillsB the same as learning skillsC more important than other skillsD not really important skillsYogurt is a healthy food that can be made at home. _51_ Add two small spoonfuls of the yogurt to two cups of milk. _51_A cup in the United States is two hundred forty milliliters .When making yogurt, it is very important to have clean equipment, clean hands and good temperature control.Pour eight cups of milk into a large cooking pot.
