And researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning. Getting a good night’s sleep is important to the learning and the brain. It's important because it stores the training exercises and the learning exercises into our more lasting memory while we're sleeping for 7-8 hours at night. And then the next morning when we wake up, our mind is better prepared to act on that information. But what about getting rest during the middle of the day? Past studies have shown that napping (小睡) can help babies and young children learn better. And napping can help older adults' brain work better. “Many Americans do nap. But one-third of adults in the United States are also tired for a long time,” notes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It found that 50 million to 70 million Americans have long-term sleep problems. Sadly, someone who naps as a way of paying off a sleep debt (债务) may not experience the same improvements from napping as a healthy, well-rested person would. Many American people may not want to admit (承认) that they take a nap. They may think that napping shows they are short of energy. But we know children, the old, the sick or lazy people nap. In fact, we Americans sometimes do a very strange thing. Some brag (吹嘘) about how few hours of sleep they need each night. Health experts say that adults get seven to eight hours of sleep each night. People who say they only sleep for five hours a night may think they are somehow stronger than others. However, now napping is encouraged in the US. Many offices now offer napping rooms and napping cafes are appearing in many U.S. cities for that reason, including Washington, D.C. ( ) 33. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. We’d better sleep much during the day. B. Having a lasting memory is very important. C. People with a poor memory can’t sleep well. D. A good night's sleep helps us remember things better. ( ) 34. According to the CDC, many Americans A. take their sleep seriously B. like paying off a sleep debt C. don’t care about sleep problems D. don’t get a good sleep for a long time ( ) 35. According to the passage, many Americans don’t admit napping because they A. just want to make a joke B. hardly take a nap actually C. are worried about their energy D. don't like being thought to be weak ( ) 36. What’s the writer’s main purpose for writing this passage? A. To show that only babies and the elderly need napping. B. To show that most Americans have serious sleep problems. C. To discuss the importance of sleep and the role of napping. D. To explain why people should avoid napping during the day. D Gianni Golfera is in front of a group of people and his eyes are covered. First, Gianni listens when the people pick 60 numbers as they like. Then he says the numbers in order after hearing them just once. After that, he does it again backwards! Gianni has a very special kind of memory. He explains in his own words, "It's a kind of memory that is connected to what I see. It means that every idea I learn, everything I read, becomes a part of me. Memory is difficult to understand. Scientists don’t really know how it works. The Golfera family genes (基因) may hold important information about Gianni’s memory. A scientist called Antonic Malgaroli plans to compare the Golfera family genes with the genes of more forgetful families. “We wonder if it’s the Golfera family genes or just his practice that makes his memory so good,” he says. Researchers study how memory and learning change the brain. They also try to match those changes to genes. Some research already shows that a great memory may not depend on the right DNA only. Dr Malgaroli believes that using the brain to remember information can enhance memory ability. The same idea is true for Gianni. Since the age of 11, he’s been training his brain to remember more and more. He practises continuously to improve the power of his memory. Gianni thinks about memory and works on it all the time. However, Gianni has a normal life as well. So, researchers think Gianni’s memory is mainly because of his very hard work. Gianni agrees. Gianni believes if there is a memory gene, he probably has it. But the success of Gianni may be more about practice and hard work than DNA. At the same time, he might just be showing scientists that a great memory can be made and not just born! ( ) 37. Why does the writer describe Gianni’s memory test in the first paragraph? A. To connect his talent to his job. B. To show his ability to memorize. C. To explain his amazing family genes. D. To introduce a way of counting numbers. ( ) 38. What does the underlined word “enhance” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Test. B. Lose. C. Share. D. Improve. ( ) 39. What does the writer probably agree with? A. Practice helps improve memory. B. Memory depends on family genes. C. Forgetful people don’t have good genes. D. DNA is as important as practice and hard work. ( ) 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. The memory man B. The amazing genes C. The research of brains D. The importance of memory 第2节 阅读填空 The winter holiday is usually a good time to sleep in.
