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 timeabout eight hours after you wake upyour 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（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 napeven ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.31. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?A. Because its very hot in summer.B. Because you eat too much for lunch.C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.D. Because you didnt have a good sleep last night.32.

Youd better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.D. You can sleep as long as you like so that you wont feel tired or sleepy.33. What can we learn about “naps” according to the third paragraph?A. Doctors need to take naps while employers dont.B. Taking naps is helpful for peoples health in spring and summer.C. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day. D. If you take naps every day, youll have less risk of heart disease.34. What can we infer（推断）from the passage?A.

Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.BIt's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your cat is watching, she will probably overeat as well.In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.“Cats are clever animals with a long memory,” Jane Brunt, director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.” Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding（搜刮）the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match” There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit（使受益）your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping habit is best for both of you.There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit softly breathing , eyes halfclosed, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private less on in inner meditation（冥想），”Brunt said. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.So, according to science, though we think that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?36. According to the passage, which of the following is Wrong?A. Green tea and yoga can benefit cat. B. Cats can copy humans' behaviours.C. Cats are smart and have a long memory.D. Humans can learn from cats in some way.37. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Humans' keeping searching the fridge. B. Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food.C. Humans' drinking green tea and going to yoga D. Cats' going to their owners for food. 38. What can we learn from our cats?A. To be able to copy. B. To remain peaceful.C. To stay hungry. D. To look up to friends. 39. Which of these old sayings best fits this story? A. The grass is greener on the other side. B. Love me, love my dog. C. One takes the behavior of one's company. D. Its never too old to learn.40. The best title for the passage could be “_”. A. Your cat can bring you pleasure B. You are copying your catC. Your cat is copying your habit D. You can make your cat socialCMy kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend. On the way, we spotted a man holding a piece of paper that said, “Lost my job. Family to feed.”At this store, a sight like this is not normal. My 10-year-old noticed him and made a comment（评论）on how bad it must be to have to stand outside in the cold wind.In the store, I asked each of my kids to pick something they thought our “friend” there would appreciate. They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old suggested giving him a gift card. I thought about it. We were low on cash ourselves, but well, sometimes giving from our need instead of our abundance（充裕）is just what we need to do! All the kids declared（宣称）something they could do away with for the week.When we handed him the bag of food, he lit up and thanked us with watery eyes. When I handed him the gift card, saying he could use it for whatever his family might need, he burst into tears.This has been a wonderful experience for our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can help! Things would have played out so differently if I had simply said, “No, we really dont have money to give more.” Stepping out not only helped a brother in need, it also gave my kids the _ taste of helping others. Itll go a long way with them.41. From the passage, what is TRUE about the writers family? A. There were two children in her family. B. They lived a rich and generous life.C.
