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, 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 , 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.BHow has smoking been controlled in recent years?People were asked to stop smoking in a range of public placessuch as doctors surgeries, cinemas, theatres and churchesover the second half of the 20th century but it was after the Kings Cross Underground fire on November 18, 1987, caused by a cigarette end which resulted in 31 deaths, that restrictions on smoking in public places gained rapid and widespread acceptance.How did a ban on smoking in public places come into place?In 1998 the Smoking Kills White Paper set out a national strategy to reduce smoking prevalence (流行) and passive smoking, including in public places. The measures were voluntary and poorly carried out. After a public conference in England in 2020, the Government decided to choose for lawmaking. Scotland went first, with a ban in 2020, followed by the other nations a year later.What is the current law?Any person who smokes in enclosed public places, including pubs, offices, on public transport and work vehicles, is breaking the law. It does not extend to private houses. It is also an offence for people in charge of premises (营业场所) to permit others to smoke in them.How was it received?It was welcomed by most organizationsexcept for some pub owners and restaurateurs. Many workplaces in the UK had already introduced smoke-free policies consistent with the legislation (法律，法规) before it was carried out, while others have gone beyond its basic requirements.All railway facilities, including platforms, footbridges and other areaswhether or not fitting the definition of an enclosed public spaceare covered, as are all football grounds and some cricket and athletics stadiums. School grounds are not required to be smoke-free under the legislation, but the majority now are.How has it been forced?Compliance (服从) in public premises has been high, with inspections suggesting that 99 per cent of places were sticking to the rules. The number of people charged for smoking in cars has been very low, which was due to the problems defining and identifying “work” vehicles. They said that a total ban on smoking in vehicles would end this confusion.Has it improved health?Studies in early adopters of the law, including in Scotland, suggest a reduction in hospital admissions for heart disease, which has been shown to be linked to passive smoking. There is also strong evidence of improved rates of smoking end and a drop in the number of cigarettes consumed by those who continue to smoke.60. Which of the following behaviors may NOT be against the law?A. Jack often smokes in the office when he is alone.B. A taxi driver is smoking with a lady in his car.C. Tom smokes while thinking of his future at home.D. Max smokes for relaxation during time-out in the stadium.61. Who might feel unhappy about the law according to the article?A. A restaurant owner.B. A company manager. C. A car owner. D. A policy maker.62. What can you infer from the article?A. Most heart diseases have been proved to be linked to passive smoking.B. A new law will soon come out with a total ban on smoking in vehicles.C. The 1987 fire has convinced more people that smoking is bad for health.D. Most of the school grounds are not smoke-free, as it is not banned in the law.CIt 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 companies 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 companies 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 companies 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.63The main reason for the fishing company 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 onesDit was getting harder and harder to keep fishes fresh64Which was the best way for the fishing company 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.65The underlined part of the last paragraph means “_.”AIf you went fishing, you might do as the fishing companies didBTry to find a big shark, and you will meet your challengeCTo succeed in life, you should always be ready to meet challengesDSharks are usually compared to the challenges in peoples life66The purpose for the author to write the passage is to _.Atell the readers how the Japanese fishing companies 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 company, 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”67According to the article, _Amost of the women students will travel abroad during the summer holidaysBone third of the women students will travel abroad in a yearCwomen students are more likely to travel abroad alone in gap yearsDwomen students are willing to travel abroad in a group68More women than men say that their prime reason for taking time off is_ .A. to make a study of historyB. to have funC. to see the world and experience different cultures D. to do voluntary work69Which of the following statements is TRUE?AMen students will travel less during the gap year because of their parttime jobsBWomen students will travel more but face more objectionsCThe article suggests that women travelling alone will have dangerous experiencesDMen students prefer to travel inside their own country to going abroad70Which of the following would be the main point of the passage?AGirls Get the Best out of Gap YearsBBoys Lack Courage in Gap YearsCFor Fun or for Adventure?DYoung Women Are More Adventurous第卷（非选择题 三部
