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() 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 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.

Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight.
&&& Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist() heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.&
&&& Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set() to increase this year.&
&&& Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of “Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money to the Side”.
&&& The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters in 1997 took a second job to meet household() expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.
&&& People also take second jobs with an eye to the future—wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.
&&& Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable(). He wanted to make sure he wasnt tied to one system that ended up failing.
&&& Just as the purposes for moonlighting are different, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries---no longer just serviceoffice and sales jobs.
&&&&& As its name means, moonlighting still occurs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time.
&&& Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees’ 9-to-5 performance.
&&& “The primary employer is saying, ‘Wait, I’m paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,’” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. “If you’re burning yourself at both ends, it’s going to show.”
&&& Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra income, moonlighters enjoy variety(), freedom and chance to do something new. They also may find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.
&&& Besides, “it’s fun,” Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to network, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn’t find just in a full-time job.
&&& Its a way of pulling from the spice cabinet(), he says, and offering a little variety throughout the day.
56. What is the closest definition() of moonlight
& A. Go out at night.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. Do some secret things at night.
& C. Go out for a walk at night.&&&&&&& D. Take some part-time jobs at night.
57. What is the article mainly about?
& A. The reasons for moonlighting.&&&&&&&&& B. The ways of moonlighting.
& C. The problems with moonlighting.&&&&& D. The kinds of people who moonlight.
58. The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that ______.
& A. he found it exciting to do a part-time job
& B. he feared he would lose his present job one day
& C. he needed to make ends meet with more money
& D. he felt more and more pressure from his employer
59. Some companies don’t allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid ______.
& A. their workers cannot do extra-hour work for them
& B. their workers will be too tired to try their best at work
& C. their workers will one day turn to some other different jobs
& D. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time
60. The underlined sentence “It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabinet.” in the last paragraph&&&& means ________.
& A. moonlighting brings you chances to do something different&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra money
& C. moonlighting strengthens your professional skills
& D. moonlighting gets you away from the job you don’t enjoy
Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?
Millions of people.are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication--- having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity() of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical-studies show changes in the brain cells() of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the tissues() of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning () equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially() harmful? The answer is radiation(). High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies.

On November18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the world famous violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Lincoln Centre in New York City. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is not easy for him. He got polioas a child, and has to walk with the aid of two crutchesnow.
That night Perlman walked slowly to his chair. Then he sat down and began to play. But, suddenly, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it break---it broke with a loud noise.
People thought to themselves, “He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”
But he didnt. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestrabegan, and he played from where he had stopped. He played with such passion and such power.
Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him changing and recomposingthe piece in his head.
When he finished, there was a silence in the room. Then people rose and cheered. We were all on our feet, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done.
He smiled and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left.”
His words have stayed in my mind ever since I heard them. That is also the way of life. Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.

Alan took an early interest in gardening---first on his grandfathers Yorkshire allotment in Ilkley, and then in his parents back garden. Small polythenegreenhouses appeared in the back garden, and cactiwere bought from church markets.
Alan left school at fifteen with one `O level in Art and took a job as an apprenticegardener in Ilkley Parks Department nursery, studying for his City and Guilds in Horticulturein the evening.
He went on to horticultural college at Oaklands in Hertfordshire where he studied for one year full-time, being awarded the National Certificate in Horticultural. This was followed by three years at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, resulting in the award of the Kew Diploma.
After two years as supervisor of staff training at Kew, Alan entered journalism where he became first a gardening books editor, and then Deputy Editor of Amateur Gardening magazine. He appeared regularly on BBC Radio and Television in programs such as Nationwide , Breakfast Time, Open Air, Pebble Mill, Songs of Praise, Titchmarsh’s Travels, and the Chelsea Flower Show. He presented the 100th edition of The Word for Channel 4, and hosted the quiz show Ask the Family.
Gardeners’ World and the hugely popular Ground Force, second only to Easterners in the BBC1 ratings, are broadcast as far as Australia, New Zealand and North America. After leaving both programs, Alan worked on two other series for the BBC to be transmitted in 2003 and 2004, one of them a landmark series on the natural history of Britain. Alan writes for the Daily Express, Sunday Express, Radio Times and BBC Gardeners’ World magazine, and has more than thirty gardening books to his credit.

Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.
When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.
The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.
So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.
Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.
51. The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear ______.
&& A. by raising his own examples&&&&&& B. based on his own experience
&& C. by mentioning some studies&&&&&& D. by mentioning some typical patients
52. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to______.

C. A Secret to Keeping Health&&&&&&&&&&& D. Anger Is Bad for Health

Going back as far as I can remember as a child in an Indian area, I had no sense of knowing about the other people around me except that we were all somehow equal… There was only one class. Nobody was interested in getting on top of anybody else.
&& You could see it in pour games. Nobody organized them. There weren’t any competitive sports. But we took part in lots of activities and we were organized, but not in the sense that there were wars of finding out who had won and who had lost. We played balls like everyone else, but no one kept scores. Even if we did formally take part in the games we played, no one was a winner though someone may have won. It was only at that moment. If you beat someone by pulling a bow and arrow and shooting the arrow further, it didn’t mean you were better in any way. It just meant that at that particular time th maybe it was just the way you let the bow go. These kinds of thing are very important to me and that is why I am talking about them.
One of the very important things was the relationship we had with our families. We didn’t always live at home. We lived wherever we happened to be at that particular time when it got dark. If you were two or three miles away from home, then that was where you slept.

When I was 16 years old, a boy gave me an important present.&&&& 66&&&
It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away.&&&&& 67&&& I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart broken, I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems. And I didn’t want my parents to worry about me.
Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual.&&&&&& 68&&&&&& I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me, with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm.
&&& 69&&&& I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now!
&&& 70&&&& I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

B. He’s living in Australia now and he loves it.
C. It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone.
D. It was a smile.

One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” pointing to one of his friends, “and he is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “ Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.”
The woman went in and told her husband what had happened. Her husband was overjoyed. How nice! he said. Since that is the case, let Wealth come in and fill our home with wealth! His wife disagreed, My , why not invite Success? Their daughter-in-law gave her own suggestion: “Wouldn’t it be better to invite Love? Our home will be filled with love then.” “Let’s heed our daughter-in-law’s advice,” said the husband to his wife. “Go out and invite Love to be our guest.”
Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the woman asked Wealth and Success: “I only invited Love, why are you coming in?”
The old men replied together. “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out. But since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!”

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your f when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your
when you get a success, your friends will say co when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness doesn’t mean money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolvingdoor. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

There is no excuse for not doing your assignments. If you cant come to school, you should call your teacher or your classmate and ask about homework. It is your responsibilityto find out what homework you have missed. It is not the teachers job to remind you of the missed assignments.
You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a make-up testyou should take the test within one or two days after you return to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.
Be on time! It is impolite to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. In the USA, it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. Most teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.
In America, you should call your teacher by his or her last name instead of “teacher”. Also you should use Mr., Miss, Ms or Mrs. before the last name (such as Mrs. Smith or Mr. Jones). This is polite. The teacher will tell you the title that he or she likes. It is impolite in the USA to eat, drink or chew gum during class. Don’t do these until the break.

& Let us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another
world. They are not messages from some outside source .They are not a look into the future, either.
All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.
So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleepingfeeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.
To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!
There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly s of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.

A. are imagination of our daily life&&& B. are man’s curious look into the future

It was the perfect weather for leaf watching, and my housemate Julie and I meant to spend the weekend with our friends in the north Georgia mountains.
Don’t you want to come along?” Julie asked her 15-year-old son, Mark. “Enjoy the leaves by yourselves,” he told her. “I’ll be fine staying home by myself. ”
Julie and I drove there in my car after work on Friday. On Saturday morning we hiked along the mountainside and enjoyed the beautiful colors.

You’re being silly,” Julie said. But the urge just got stronger.
I’ve got to leave,” I said. “If you want to stay, you can get a ride back with everyone else tomorrow. ”
Julie stood up. “No, I’ll go with you,” she said. We almost didn’t talk during the two-hour trip back. I felt very guilty.
Finally, we pulled in. The lights were on in the house, but something was strange. The windows seemed to be fogged up. Julie opened the door and smoke poured out. “Mark!” she shouted. “Mark!” We rushed inside and found him asleep on the sofa. Shaking him awake, Julie grabbed him. I grabbed the source of the smokea pillow too close to the fireplace. I then took it outside and threw water on it. Mark had built a fire to keep warm, and some embershad flown out.

It is one thing to visit a zoo as an ordinary member of the public but quite another to own a zoo and live this at times can be a mixed thing. It certainly forces you to rush out at any time of the day or night to observe your charges, but it also means that you are on duty 24 hours of the day and you can find that a fine little dinner party breaks up because some animal has broken its leg, or because the heaters in the snake house have failed.

Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power, commands, respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills can't be easily swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.
&Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their everyday lives. But which do they develop? How do they and how can you get others to follow?
&&& Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from others is to treat them like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world. It is also an act of generosity
that's never forgotten.
&&& Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism , which often hurts rather than helps.& Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees. "Catch people doing something right!" he says. Then tell everyone about it.
&&& Take informed risks. (). "The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise, "says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz. "Sky divers don't go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes beforehand. "
&&& Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait for others to take charge. But if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail - and not die a thousand deaths. Pick yourself up and start all over again.
&&& Encourage enthusiasm.
"When people understand the importance of work, they lend their mental strengths," says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the job. That's a great force ! Is this the best way to create excitement? Be enthusiastic yourself - You will be followed by everyone.

What is language for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of wordsthe longer the liststhe better. That's wrong. Language is for the exchangeof ideas and information. It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly. "But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn't overdoit. They should put communicationfirst.
75Language is used to ________.
A. express oneself B. practice grammar rules

A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world people may not have enough water by the year 2025. A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack enough water now. The people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.
PAI researchers Robert Engel says by the year 2025,about three thousand million people lack water. At least 18 more countries are, expected to have serious water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on the earth stays the same.

This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability to improve their economics (). This is because new industries often need large amounts of water when they are beginning.

I will never forget the Saturday I took my great-grandfather to his first movie. I was nine. Granddad was over 90 years old.
We were a little late when we got to the movie. The lights were already turned low. The girl at the piano had started to play. In those days. the movies had no sound. The only sounds that went with them came from a piano.
I helped Granddad find a seat in the first row. He sat back just as Hoot Gibson came riding across the screen on his horse. I looked at Granddad. His eyes were fixed on the screen and his lips were moving. I saw that he was riding right along with Hoot Gibson!
Hoot was running away from outlaws (). Faster and faster the horses ran. The girl at the piano played louder and louder.
Suddenly Granddad jumped to his feet and yelled at Hoot. "Look out!" he cried, "Run for it, Hoot! They're getting closer!"
The girl at the piano turned around. Right behind her she saw a tall old man with arms stretched () widely, it was my granddad. She thought he had gone crazy. With a scream, she climbed to the top of the piano. Then she jumped through the movie screen, making a big hole in it. She ran out of the back door of the movie, yelling.
There were about 40 people at the movie that afternoon. Granddad was .the only one there over 12 years old. All the excitement made us boys feel we should do something. But what? Hoot showed us! He was shot from his horse right into the hole in the screen!
A friend of mine named Sammy climbed up to see what had become of Hoot. Three or four others followed Sammy. Soon about 12 yelling boys were crowded around the screen. What noise!
Sammy shot this cap gun. Someone saw the smoke from the cap gun and screamed "Fire !"
Granddad was still standing. He called out. "Get the fireman! Where's the fire?"
Just then several men came in through the back door. The girl who played the piano had told them about the crazy man. They were coming to get Granddad!
Before they got to him, a fireman came in the front door. He was carrying a horse. "Water!" he shouted to the firemen behind him. Then he turned his horse on the screen, full force. The hole in the screen became larger and larger. Now we could see only the top of Hoot's head and his horse's tail.
"I'm getting out of here!" Granddad said to me. "I've been in many a battle, but this is the worst of all."
We pushed past the firemen and got to the street at last. By this time there was a big crowd of people. "What's happened? Where's the fire? everyone wanted to know.
But we didn't wait to talk. Granddad took me to his little house and gave me some ice-cream.
"I'm sorry you didn't get to see the whole show. Granddad. "I said. "Will you go with me next Saturday?"
Granddad shook his head. "No, Robert" he said, "I don't like movies. They are too noisy. My first movie will be my last!"

At the age of12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasnt a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
