Many people feelthis way after lunchThey may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepinessOr，in summer，they may think it is the heatHowever，the real reason lies inside their bodiesAt that timeabouteight hours after you wake upyour body temperature goes downThis is what makes you slow downand feel sleepyScientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or dayThe peoplein these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping patternThey slept for one longperiod and then for one short period about eight hours laterIn many parts of the world，people take naps in the middle of the dayThis is especially true inwarmer climates，where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoonResearchers are now sayingthat naps are good for everyone in any climateA daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind andtherefore is good for health in generalIn countries where naps are traditional，people often sufferless from problems such as heart disease Many working people，unfortunately，have no time to takenapsThough 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 napRemember that the best time to take a nap isabout eight hours after you get upA 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 longIf you do not have enough time，try a short napeven ten minutes of sleep can be helpful21Do you know why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?ABecause its hot in summer BBecause you eat too much for lunch CBecause you didnt have a good sleep last nightDBecause your body temperature goes down at that time22According to the last paragraph what can we learn about “naps”?AAll the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the dayBTaking naps regularly is beneficial to peoples healthCIf you take naps everyday，youll never suffer from heart diseaseD Doctors need to take naps while employers dont23What can we infer from the passage?AIf you get up at 6：30 am，youd better take a nap at about 1：30 pmBTaking a nap whenever you want will do good to your healthCYoull feel sleepy at regular intervals（间隔）DYou will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time24What would be the best title for the text?AAll for a Nap BJust for a Rest CA Special Sleep Pattern DTaking Naps in Warmer ClimateBIt is said that shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to thinkof it as an emotional disability. Its something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entirelives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some ways ofdoing away with their shyness. In my opinion, its a waste of time. I dont mean that we should donothing about it. Quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of shyness from ourability to take part in a socialenvironment.Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Tony White. This man is painfully shy,yet for decades he made a living talking and associating(交往) with different people every night, in front of anational audience.White has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way todealwith it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend(传奇) amongtalk show hosts.Look also at Amy Lee, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is awomanwho has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shythat she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity(不安全感) and thisinsecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. Aswe grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuckin kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.25. In the authors view, shyness can be explained as _.A. an emotional disabilityB. a not very normal mental conditionC. a disease that can be easily curedD. something we pick up after birth26. The underline expression “doing away with” most probably means “_”.A. keeping away fromB. getting rid ofC. catching up withD. doing well in27.Which of the following is TRUE of Tony White?A. He was described as a hero in some legend books.B. He didnt dare to speak in front of a national audience.C. He has dealt with shyness very successfully.D. He failed to become a good talk show host.28. The passage tells us that Amy Lee was _A. proud all the timeB. impolite when youngC. close to Jane FondaD. shy in her early yearsC As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Dont panic（恐慌）！You will deal successfully with them！You are a young adult now! With more responsibility，you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed（知晓） about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine！Work hard and the right opportunity will present（展现） itself to you. Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to beindependent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world. It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout lifes journey and there will be some people with whom you part（分离） and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again. You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!29.The best title for this passage would be _. A. The Choices in Life B. The Key to Success C. Say Goodbye to the Past D. Becoming a Young Adult30.Who do the underlined words “some people” (Paragraph 4)probably mean? A. your parents B. your classmates C. true friends Dyour relatives31.As far as the author is concerned（=in the authors opinion）, teenage years are_.

Who is the passage mainly intended for? A. Teenagers. B. Teachers. C. Young parents D. Adults.DIn the early 1990s,the word ”Internet” was strange to most people. But today, Internet has become a useful tool for people all over the world. Maybe Internet has been the greatest invention in the field of communication in the history of mankind（人类）Communicating with others on the Internet is much faster. We can chat with a person who is sitting in the other part of the world. We can e-mail our friends and they can read the e-mails within a minute.Giving all kinds of information is probably the biggest advantage of the Internet. We can use search engines to find the information we need. Just type in a keyword or keywords and the search engine will give us a list of suitable websites to look at.We can enjoy a lot on the Internet by downloading games, visiting chat rooms or surfing （浏览）websites. There are some games for free. We can meet new and interesting people in the chat now. We can also listen to music and see films.Now ,there is a lot of service on the Internet such as online banking ,job finding and ticket buying.
