Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? 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（模式）. 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 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（遭受）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.

( )61. Why do people sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?

A. Because it’s very hot in summer. B. Because you eat too much for lunch.

C. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.

D. Because your body temperature goes down at that time. ( )62. What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?

A. If your time is limited, a short nap can also help. B. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.

C. You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.

D. You can sleep as long as you like so that you won’t feel tired or sleepy. ( )63. What can we learn about “naps” according to the third paragraph?

A. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.

B. Taking naps is helpful for people’s health in spring and summer. C. If you take naps every day, you’ll have less risk of heart disease.

D. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day. ( )64. What can we infer（推断）from the passage?

A. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.

B. If you get up at 6:00 am, you’d better take a nap at about 2:00 pm. C. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health. D. Sleeping for eight hours and you’ll feel sleepy a short period later. ( )65. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Just For a Rest. B. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate. C. A Special Sleep Pattern. D. The Importance of a Nap.

My husband and I had a conversation a few weeks ago about how time flies. I really took it to heart. We sat and talked about how the first day we met seemed like yesterday. We soon realized

that we had been blessed（赐予）with three healthy years of marriage, a home, college education and jobs. We also realized that time does not slow down for anyone.

Later that day we were on our way to a family event. As we pulled into the local gas station, I noticed a woman sitting all alone at a picnic table. It was around 30℃, but she was dressed in a winter jacket and long pants.

As we pulled out from the gas station, I told my husband that I needed to go home and take something first. I had such an anxious feeling that I needed to do something to help the poor woman at the gas station and without saying anything, he understood.

I told my husband that I had to take something before we left and that I would be back soon. He was able to understand everything even if he knew that we would be late. As I pulled back into the gas station, I got out of the car and walked to the woman. Then I sat down with her. She asked me if I’d like to give her something to eat because she didn’t eat anything that day. I agreed, and for over an hour and a half I sat there with her, a proud mother and wife who lost her family a few years ago.

She was once a school teacher who found joy in educating the youth of our nation, but was unable to return to work after the accident. Those days she often sat with family at that very picnic table. She and her daughter often played card games at the table, while her husband and son fished in the river right down the hill.

We shared smiles and tears. Not only did I help this woman, but she also helped me realize that every moment is such a priceless gift and that in a short time of an eye, everything can change. Make sure that you hug your beloved ones today!

( )66. From the first paragraph we can infer that __________. A. the author(作者) was satisfied with her family life. B. the author didn’t want time to go so fast.

C. the author got married only yesterday. D. the author married a rich man. ( )67. The author returned to the gas station in order to __________. A. fill up her car B. have a talk with the woman C. learn more about the woman D. give something to the woman ( )68. What can we learn about the woman?

A. She is still a teacher in a school now. B. She went through great changes in her life. C. She didn’t get on well with her family. D. She didn’t want to do anything at all. ( )69. Through this passage the author tried to ______________. A. tell us a sad story B. warn us of our short life

C. tell us to value our beloved ones D. call on us to do something for the woman ( )70. From this passage we can see that the author is __________. A. rich and proud B. kind and helpful C. hardworking but poor D. selfish and brave

五、阅读表达。（共5小题, 每小题2分，计10分）每题答案不超过5个词。

Different countries have different customs. When you travel to other countries, please follow their customs.

Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip（付小费）. It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect the same amount.

In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s a favorite subject of conversation with the British.

In Spain, it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for
