In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Theres even a prohibition 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 eleven.Wrong. 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 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 (打瞌睡) 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.26. It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is _A_. A. unreasonable B. criminal C. harmful D. costly 27. The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans _C_.A. dont like to take naps B. are terribly worried about their national debt C. sleep less than is good for them D. have caused many industrial and traffic accidents 28. The purpose of this article is to _D_. A. warn us of the wickedness of napping B. explain the danger of sleepiness C. discuss the side effects of napping D. convince the reader of the necessity of napping29. The “American sleep debt” (Line 1, Para. 3) is the result of _A_.A. the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep B. the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration C. the rapid development of American industry D. the Americans worry about the danger of sleepiness 30. The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is _D_.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 to make up for cost sleep D. natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itPassage B Most of the time, magicians(魔术师)give good shows, but every magician has given a show that was terrible or has tried to do a trick(戏法)that didnt go right. Howard Thurston, a famous magician, made some interesting mistakes on the stage(舞台).Thurston did a famous Indian trick with a girl. The girl climbed into a box. Then the box was pulled up above the stage. Thurston shouted, Iasia, garawallah, go! The box opened and the girl was gone. Wonderful! Wonderful!One night, after the show, a man asked the magician, Please tell me where you learned your magic (有魔力的，神奇的)words?Thurston answered. Ive travelled in India and often heard garawallah in the streets there. I thought it was a good word for an Indian trick. The man smiled and said, Im from India. That word means Hey, bus!Another mistake stayed in Thurstons show. In one trick, he cut off the heads of two chickens and two ducks and put their bodies inside a magic box. Then he opened the box and found four living birds with heads on them. This is the way the trick was done. The birds heads were tied under their wings (翅膀). Then false (错的，假的)heads were tied on the birds before they were brought on the stage. Thurston cut off these false heads and put the birds in the box. His helper was also in the box. He could put new false heads on the birds faster than he could untie the true heads. So after Thurston put the birds inside the box, his helper tied on false heads.One night, the helper made a mistake. He tied the chicken heads on the ducks and then tied the duck heads on the chickens. The birds came out of the box, and the people laughed and laughed.31.
