It can help improve your memory, emotions(情绪) and, of course, reduce tiredness. If you can’t get enough sleep at night because of busy work or insomnia(失眠), taking a nap can help. However, if you aren’t napping properly, you might experience nighttime sleep problems or feel uncomfortable after waking up from a nap. Here, Dr Lindsay Browning shares his suggestions on how to take the perfect nap. First, decide the length of your nap. To make sure you don’t feel uncomfortable after a nap, stick to either a short 20-minute nap or a longer nap of at least 1 hour and 30 minutes. The body has sleep cycles (周期) of one and a half hours. If you wake up in the middle of the cycle during the deep sleep phase, you may feel worse than before the nap. Second, take naps in the early afternoon. Napping late in the afternoon can interfere with your nighttime sleep, making it harder to fall asleep at night. If your normal bedtime is around 11 p. m., then you shouldn’t be napping any later than 2 p. m. Third, avoid unintentional(无意识的) naps. Napping unintentionally in front of screens may reduce your need for sleep later. Besides, the blue light from smartphones, televisions and computers can reduce melatonin(褪黑素) that helps you sleep. Fourth, give yourself time after a nap. After napping, you might feel a little disoriented(迷糊的). Give yourself some time to fully wake up before starting activities, especially those that require a quick reaction, such as driving. 1. What can we get from the first two paragraphs? A. Lazy people hate to take a nap during the day. B. Napping can make people smarter. C. Improper napping may cause many problems. D. People who sleep well at night don’t need a nap during the day. 2. What does the underlined expression “interfere with” mean? A. make sth. easier B. prevent sth. from happening C. change sth. for the better D. make sth. longer 3. Which of the following might Dr Lindsay Browning agree with? A. We can take a nap at any time of the day. B. We should take as many naps as possible. C. The blue light from screens influences our sleep. D. We can always feel relaxed after waking up from a nap. 4. In which part of a magazine can we probably read the passage? A. Education B. Nature C. Fashion D. Health B Taking Root We all know that there are a great number of different plants in the world! But how many kinds of plants are there exactly in the world? Lucy Braun wondered that as a child. She showed a great interest in plants when she was just a little child. She often had energetic walks with her family through the nearby woods. Some plants and wildflowers seemed to shout at her with their wild colours. Others hid behind rocks. Lucy looked at the shapes of different leaves while she was walking in the woods. She kept a record of what she saw. She also learnt to draw what she saw so that she could compare all kinds of plants. Later, Lucy grew more and more interested in botany, the study of plants. Branching out While she was at university, Lucy took classes in geology, or the study of rocks and minerals. Her work with geologists changed how she looked at the natural world. She continued her studies in botany as well. Lucy also took classes in ecology(生态学). She believed that plant life in some areas was able to move to other places over time. In Full Bloom In 1917, Lucy began to teach botany at a university. She lived in a house near the woods. Lucy collected plants from all around the country. She took many photos of them too. Colour photography was still new then. Because of that, people enjoyed her lessons and photos very much. The ▲ of Labour(劳动) Later in her life, Lucy wrote many field guides. In 1950, she published her most important guide. It describes the plants in the forests all over the country. Ecologists still use it to study changes in the forests over time. Today, Lucy has a few plants named after her. One of them is Lucy Braun’s snakeroot(蛇根草), which is now in danger. Lucy’s work in the protection of nature may help prevent its disappearance. Lucy Braun lived to be 81. In her years as a botanist, Lucy collected nearly 12,000 plants! 5. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1? A. The plants seemed to be angry with Lucy. B. The plants could talk just like humans. C. The plants appeared to be full of life. D. The plants were looked after well by Lucy. 6. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. The reason why Lucy liked plants. B. The time when Lucy noticed plants. C. The special plants Lucy collected. D. The way Lucy studied plants. 7. What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “botany” in Paragraph 2? A. 生物 B. 生物学 C. 植物学 D. 植物学家 8. Which of the following can be put in “▲” in the last part? A. Causes B. Fruits C. Flowers D. Records 9. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The story of a great scientist B. The collection of the plants C. The protection of the plants D. The lesson by a scientist 三、阅读表达 The days passed and the river went down. “I think I’ll go to the town and get some news,” I told Jim one morning. “Be careful, Huck,” Jim said. “The people in St Petersburg know you and they think that you’re dead. Why don’t you put on the dress and pretend(假装) to be a girl?” So I did as Jim said. I took the canoe to the town. Very soon, I met a woman and she told me that someone would catch a runaway. This wasn’t good news for Jim. I hurried back to the cave to tell him. We set off down the river for the town of Cairo. In order to protect Jim, we preferred to travel at night rather than travel in the day. What’s more, we covered the raft with leaves and branches during the day. We never got to Cairo. So we continued drifting down the river because the raft couldn’t sail back up the river against the current. We had a few adventures on the way, but nobody caught us. Our life on the raft was very pleasant and I was enjoying myself. During the day we made a camp under the trees and slept. As soon as it got dark, we set off again. After dinner, we swam in the moonlight or lay on our backs, looking at the stars. Then one morning, something happened and our lives changed. I was paddling up a side river to look for berries for breakfast when two men suddenly ran out of the woods. “Help! Some men want to kill us!” they shouted. I felt sorry for them. I told them to get onto the raft and we paddled back to the camp. They were both wearing dirty old clothes, but they called themselves a Duke and the King. I didn’t believe them. I knew immediately that they were frauds(骗子), but I didn’t say anything. —Taken from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 1.
