22、The police find most criminals (罪犯) because somebody tells them who the criminals are. They find other criminals by using science and their computers. When there is a bank robbery (抢劫), the police first look through their computers for the names of the bank robbers that they know about. Then they go and talk to any of these robbers who are not in prison (监狱). They ask them where they were when the robbery happened. If any of these people cannot give a good answer, the police will often use science to find out if one of them is the robber.

Many criminals leave something of themselves at the places of the crimes like a fingerprint or a hair. Or they take something away on their shoes or clothes, like dirt or animal hair. If they leave behind some of their blood or their hair or a piece of skin, it will have their DNA inside it.

Everyone’s DNA is different and their fingerprints are also different. So, if a criminal cuts himself during a robbery or leaves his hair, or even a small piece of skin, scientists can find out what his DNA is. The police can then ask the person they think is the robber to give them his hair or some blood and see if it has the same DNA. Many criminals are in prison today because of this kind of evidences .

23、   Medical experts say most Americans do not get enough sleep. They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.

Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do.

Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effects until the end of the day. But experts said that a nap should last no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.

24、Many people like to travel when they have time off from school or work. They might go to their hometown to see their family, or travel somewhere far. But not everyone does this—some people take a “staycation” instead.

A staycation is a vacation when you do not travel at all. Some people use a staycation to just stay at home, and others prefer to experience the attractions around them without traveling very far.

There are many choices for staycations. Any town or city has plenty of choices for things to do if you know where to look. If the weather is nice, you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike. You can look online for several historic places and create your own history tours. Of course, you can also visit other attractions in the areas like museums, restaurants, bars, parks, beaches, and so on.

I had a staycation of my own over the summer. I slept in late every day. I worked on music and played video games. I wasn’t too lonely—I had my cat to play with, and I visited some of my friends around the city.

Traveling is fun from time to time. But it’s also nice to just stay home and relax. It’s also cheaper, since I don’t have to pay to travel. You can choose to do just about anything you want—or, if you want, just do nothing. There’s nothing wrong with that.

【1】Which of the following is a staycation?

A．Working overtime during vacation.

B．Staying at home for vacation.

C．Going back to hometown for vacation.

D．Traveling somewhere far during vacation.

【2】What does the underlined word “attractions” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．向往的地方

B．友好

C．选择

D．机遇

【3】What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 4?

A．Where he used to go during vacation.

B．How he felt about staying at home alone.

C．Why he prefers staycations over traveling.

D．What he did during his staycation.

【4】How did the writer feel during his staycation?

A．Bored.

B．Lonely.

C．Relaxed.

D．Busy.

【5】Which of the following might the writer agree with?

A．People should spend some time alone during weekends.

B．Doing nothing at home is OK for vacation.

C．People choose to stay at home because it’s cheap.

D．Traveling is not always fun for vacation.
