thishas great consequences on our health,our job performance,our relationships and our happiness.What is needed,she ly declares,is nothing short of a sleep revolution.Only by renewing our relationship with sleep can we take back control of our lives.In her bestseller Thrive,Arianna wrote about our need to redefine success through wellbeing,wisdom,wonder,and giving.Her discussion of the importance of sleep as a gateway to this more fulfilling way of living struck such a powerful chord(弦)that she realized the mystery and transformative power of sleep called for a fuller investigation(调查).The result is a scientifically sweeping and personal exploration of sleep from all angles,from the history of sleep,to the role of dreams in our lives,to the consequences of sleep deprivation(剥夺),and the new golden age of sleep science that is showing the vital role sleep plays in our every waking moment and every aspect of our health from weight gain,diabetes,and heart disease to cancer and Alzheimers.In The Sleep Revolution,Arianna shows how our cultural removal of sleep as time wasted damages our health and our decision-making and our work lives and shortens our personal lives.She explores all the latest science on what exactly is going on while we sleep and dream.She decides the dangerous sleeping pill industry,and all the ways of our addiction to technology disturb our sleep.She also offers a range of recommendations and tips from leading scientists on how we can get better and more restorative sleep.In todays fast-paced,always-connected and sleep-deprived world,our need for a good nights sleep is more important than ever.The Sleep Revolution both sounds the alarm on our worldwide sleep crisis and provides a detailed road map to the great sleep awakening that can

centuries.Lets state clearly:Einstein was a genius.His face is almost the international symbol for genius.But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us?And who are they?In the sciences and arts,those praised as geniuses were most often white men,of European origin.Perhaps this is not a surprise.Its said that history is written by the victors,and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the clubwomen,or people of a different color1 or beliefthey were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published bySciencefound that as young as age six,girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are“really,really smart.”Even worse,the study found thatgirls act on that belief:Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are“really,really smart.”Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up?It doesnt take a genius to know the answer:ly not.Heres the good news.In a wired world with constant global communication,were all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.And the more we look,the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender,race,and class do not determine the appearance of genius.As a writer says,future geniuses come from those with“intelligence,creativity,perseverance(毅力),and simple good fortune,who are able to change the world.”8.What does the author think of victors standards for joining the genius club?A.Theyre unfair.B.Theyre conservative.C.Theyre objective.D.Theyre strict.9.What can we infer about girls from the study inScience?A.They think

public?A.Improved global communication.B.Less discrimination against women.C.Acceptance of victors concepts.D.Changes in peoples social positions.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Geniuses Think Alike B.Genius Takes Many Forms C.Genius and Intelligence D.Genius and Luck D On September 7,1930,Yuan Longping was born inBeijing.Fluent in English,his mother often read Friedrich Nietzsches works to him.Influenced by his mother,Yuan Longping liked English,geography and chemistry at school.After graduating from university,he became a teacher in the countryside ofHunanin 1953.With lots of crop failures,nationwide hunger hitChinain the 1960s,making many people live a bad life.Yuan was sad and felt he must do something.Since the climate inHunanwas not friendly to growing wheat.He decided to devote himself to studying how to increase the production of rice,a basic food for over 60 percent of Chinese people.From then on,he began a lifelong connection with rice.Yuan Longping succeeded in growing the worlds first high production hybrid rice(杂交水稻)variety in 1973,which could reach a yield of over 500 kg per more than 200 kg than before.For the next four decades,he continued to work on the research of hybrid rice.In 2020,hybrid rice developed by his team achieved 1,500 kg permuin two growing seasons,a new world record.Nowadays,the hybrid rice is grown in almost half ofChinas rice fields and its production accounts for 60 percent of the total rice production inChina.The hybrid rice production is 20 percent more than the common kinds,the yearly increase of which feeds up to 100 million people.In 2019,Yuan Longping,known as the“Father of hybrid rice”,was awarded with Medal of the Republic,Chinas highest honor.Yuan Longpings biggest dream in life was to develop more hybrid
