821.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.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(氣候),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 (傳統(tǒng)的),people often suffer less from problem 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.

Nassim Taleb invented the word "antifragile" and used it to describe a small but very important class of systems that gain from shocks,challenges,and disorder.The immune (免疫的) system is one of them:it requires exposure to certain kinds of bacteria and potential allergens (過敏原) in childhood in order to develop to its full ability.
Children's social and emotional abilities are as antifragile as their immune systems.If we overprotect kids and keep them "safe" from unpleasant social situations and negative emotions,we deprive (剝奪) them of the challenges and opportunities for skill-building they need to grow strong.Such children are likely to suffer more when exposed later to other unpleasant but ordinary life events,such as teasing and social rejection.
It's not the kids' fault.In the UK,as in the US,parents became much more fearful in the 1980s and 1990s as cable TV and later the Internet exposed everyone,more and more,to those rare occurrences of crimes and accidents that now occur less and less.Outdoor play and independent mobility went down;screen time and adult-monitored activities went up.
Yet free play in which kids work out their own rules of engagement,take small risks,and learn to master small dangers turns out to be vital for the development of adult social and even physical competence.Depriving them of free play prevents their social-emotional growth.Norwegian play researchers Ellen Sandseter and Leif Kennair warned: "We may observe an increased anxiety or mental disorders in society if children are forbidden from participating in age adequate risky play."
They wrote those words in 2011.Over the following few years,their prediction came true.Kids born after 1994 are suffering from much higher rates of anxiety disorders and depression than did the previous generation.Besides,there is also a rise in the rate at which teenage girls are admitted to hospital for deliberately harming themselves.
What can we do to change these trends?How can we raise kids strong enough to handle the ordinary and extraordinary challenges of life?We can't guarantee that giving primary school children more independence today will bring down the rate of teenage suicide tomorrow.The links between childhood overprotection and teenage mental illness are suggestive but not clear-cut.Yet there are good reasons to suspect that by depriving our naturally antifragile kids of the wide range of experiences they need to become strong,we are systematically preventing their growth.We should let go-and let them grow.
(1)Why does the author mention the immune system in Paragraph 2?
A.To stress its importance.
B.To analyze the cause of anxiety.
C.To question the latest discovery.
D.To help understand a new word.
(2)Parents overprotect children because
A.they are concerned about their children's safety
B.they want to keep children from being teased
C.parent-monitored activities are a must
D.children are not independent enough
(3)According to the author,free play can
A.promote children's resilience
B.strengthen children's friendship
C.reduce children's risky behavior
D.develop children's leadership skills
(4)Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A.Stop trying to perfect your child.
B.It takes great courage to raise children.
C.Prepare the child for the road,not the road for the child.
D.While we try to teach our children all about life,our children teach us what life is all about.發(fā)布:2025/1/1 13:30:1組卷:23引用:2難度:0.5823."Quick,quick,slow,slow," my husband said as I was trying to focus.We frequently stepped on each other's feet.Both of us were being rhythmically challenged,and we figured a series of lessons might help us look somewhat elegant on the dancing floor.However,it didn't.
It didn't matter that the lessons didn't pay off.Our learning something new together gave us a string of good memories,such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make classic cocktails (雞尾酒) in a common bar.These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years.We always have such a great time when we're trying something new together.It seems to have strengthened our relationship,and makes me feel like we have a closer connection.
It turns out my theory as such is backed by research.One study shows that learning new things with your spouse (配偶),friends,or partners,can strengthen your connection or friendship.But how exactly does this work?The key is vulnerability(弱點(diǎn)). "Learning new things together strengthens bonds because it is at those moments that we can show our vulnerability to one another,"says Dr.Hisla Bates. "When we are learning a new task,misfortunes and failures are bound to happen.In those moments when we fail,the other party can be there in favor of us.We can work together to find a solution,and working together helps deepen the connection."
The benefits gained from learning new things with your partner can come from activities as small as hiking,trying a new recipe,going boating in the local lake or taking a fitness class together.You don't have to bungee jump or skydive to grow closer.Try selecting activities that both partners are unfamiliar with,as this will ensure you're on the same page.
Trying to learn something new together once a month will benefit you and your spouse or friends.Overall,some of my best memories with my husband are the moments when we are learning something new together.

A.Practice makes perfect.
B.Good memories last a long time.

A.It can encourage them to teach and praise each other.
B.It helps improve the understanding of each other.
C.It can reduce each other's loneliness and boredom.

(4)What's the best title for the text?

My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big window in our front room.Finally,when my sister's curiosity was satisfied,we traded places.
After unwrapping a few presents,I found it faster to open one end of a present and peek inside. "Cool!Mom and Dad got me head phones for my stereo!" I pulled the headphones out of the box and was about to put them on when my sister shouted, "Quick!Wrap it back up!Mom's coming!"
I put the headphones back hurriedly in the box but my hands were shaking.My heart pounded harder as I tried to get the tape to stick.I had just finished burying the package with my headphones in it when my mother came into the front room.I jumped up and said, "Hi,Mom!" She smiled at me and said "Hi" back,but didn't appear to suspect a thing.My heart began to slow as I took a deep breath.
On Christmas morning,my sister and I smiled and gave award-winning performances when we opened our presents again. "Headphones!" I shouted. "Thanks,it's just what I wanted." After everything had been opened,my sister and I looked at each other,and our eyes met.Our secret was safe,but somehow Christmas morning didn't feel the same.
My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again.I don't know if it was that opening our gifts for the second time just wasn't as much fun as the first time,or if we came too close to getting caught and didn't want to think about what our mother would have done to us.

In the past three years,I have been great influenced by my best friend,Lucy.She is popular with all the classmates due to her kind as well as her positive attitude towards life.Generally speak,she is an excellent person who is worth making friends.I still remember the day that I told her I had failed in a math test.To her surprise,she gave me a warm hug and encouraged me.She said that we should never give up when face with difficulties.She kept telling me she believed I would make a great progress one day.Thanks to her encouragement,I finally get out of the shadow.How lucky I am to have so a nice friend!發(fā)布:2025/1/1 13:30:1組卷:11引用:2難度:0.5827.My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked,"Who broke this window?" Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done,but also what our teacher may have found out.She seldom became angry,but she was this time.
"Oh," I thought.I was the one who broke the window.It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball.If I admitted guilt,I would be in a lot of trouble.How would I be able to pay for a big window like that?I didn't even get an allowance. "My father is going to have a temper," I thought.I didn't want to raise my hand,but some force much stronger than I was pulled it skyward.I told the truth. "I did it." It was hard enough to say what I had done.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher to strike a student,but I feared she was going to start with me.
"I know how you like birds," she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden face. "Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out.It is yours now.It's time we got a new one for the school anyway.You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed,I am rewarding you for your truthfulness."
I couldn't believe it!I wasn't being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide—the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me.That lesson stays with me every day,and it will echo forever.

The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system,but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level.The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.
An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.
This of course created a new problem:dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.Building owners were faced with a choice:either change the first floors of their buildings into basements,and the second stories into main floors,or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level.Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily.But what about large,heavy structures like Tremont Hotel,which was a six-story brick building?
That's where George Pullman came in.He had developed some house-moving skills successfully.To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel,Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤頂) beneath the building's foundation.One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews.At Pullman's signal,each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time,thereby raising the building slowly and evenly.Astonishingly,the Tremont Hotel stayed open during the entire operation,and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening.
Some people like to say that every problem has a solution.But in Chicago's early history,every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem.Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River,the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.
(1)The author mentions the joke to show
A.horses were fairly useful in Chicago
B.the Chicago people were particularly humorous
C.Chicago was very dangerous in the spring
D.Chicago's streets were extremely muddy
(2)The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to
A.lift the level of streets with pipes
B.lower the Chicago River by drains
C.build pipes to fight against heavy floods
D.get rid of the street dirt through pipes
(3)What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?
A.It separated the building from its foundation.
B.It interrupted the business of the hotel.
C.It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.
D.It went on smoothly as intended.
(4)The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's
A.popular life styles and their influences
B.environmental disasters and their causes
C.engineering problems and their solutions
D.successful businessmen and their achievements發(fā)布:2025/1/1 13:30:1組卷:11引用:2難度:0.5829.The girl
