26、More and more people are aware that an afternoon nap(小睡) can do a body good. But there are still doubters out there. To help spread the power of the afternoon nap, we list some common misunderstandings about napping we still hear.

Misunderstanding # 1 : Napping is only for the lazy.

Fact: Around a third of American adults nap on the average day, and for good reason: A short nap can improve everything from alertness(警觉) and memory to creativity and productivity(生产效率). And none of these sounds like laziness to us!

Misunderstanding # 2 : If I take a nap, I’ll only wake up feeling worse.

Fact: That weak feeling after you wake up from a nap is real (it even has a name: sleep inertia), but it’s not a guarantee(保证). How you feel after your nap is a factor of how long you sleep. Experts generally agree that a nap should last no longer than 30 minutes. “If it takes longer than 30 minutes, you end up in deep sleep. You’re going into a stage of sleep where you find it very difficult to wake up.” said sleep expert Michael J. Breus, Ph. D. Next time you’re in the mood for a nap, set your alarm for 20 to 30 minutes, tops.

Misunderstanding # 3 : You mustn’t nap at work.

Fact: In fact, in the office environment, we’re all for catching a few winks (眨眼) during the workday. Some companies have even created special rooms for afternoon naps as more and more employers come around to the idea that a well-rested workforce is a more productive workforce. If your employer doesn’t offer a place to lay your head, try to find an empty conference room where you can close the door and turn off the lights. Really want. You can also take a nap during your lunch break on a park bench or in your car.

Misunderstanding # 4 : I’ll be more productive if I just finish this task, rather than waste time sleeping.

Fact: Yes, you’ll be away from your desk if you spend 10 to 30 minutes sleeping. But you’ll likely make up for that “wasted” time afterward. “My research shows that people feel tired after a long time of work during the day,” Sara Mednick told Bloomberg Businessweek. “It’s difficult to keep energetic and productive all day.” However, a nap can leave you feeling refreshed and more ready to deal with the task at hand.

【1】According to the passage, a short nap has the following benefits EXCEPT .

A. making people think more quickly

A. The advantages of taking a nap.

B. The more naps you take, the more productive you become.

C. 4 things people get wrong about napping.

D. How to take an afternoon nap correctly.

28、Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours (迂回路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.

For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, and easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate being forced to stay in a closed space and have strong opinions about everything.

Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired. But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.

That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.

We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.

We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories. Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey and the best part of yourself.

【1】Why did the author usually take freeways to her parents’ home？

A．It was less tiring.

B．It would be faster and safer.

C．Her kids would feel less confined.

D．She felt better with other drivers nearby.

【2】What is the author’s purpose of stopping regularly on the country roads？

A．To take care of the lamb.

B．To take a deep breath.

C．To relax in the fresh air.

D．To let the kids play with Banner.

【3】What does the author discover from the trip according to the last paragraph？

A．Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.

B．One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.

C．Freeways are where beauty hides.

D．Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one’s health.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

A．The Road to Bravery

B．Creativity out of Necessity

C．Road Trip and Country Life

D．Charm of the Detour

29、Food Might Still Be Okay Longer Than You Think

Many products often come with expiration dates to indicate a predetermined shelf life, like food and medicine. Once the indicated date has passed, these products are generally deemed unfit for use or consumption—【1】

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the average person generated about 2.68 pounds of municipal solid waste per day in the 1960s, which include food, plastic, and paper waste. This amount increased to 4.74 pounds in the 2000s, finally reaching 4.9 pounds in 2018. The disposal of expired but usable or consumable goods can contribute to overall waste. By minimizing this, an individual may be able to reduce the amount of waste they produce.

Here’s what expiration dates generally mean for various products and when consumers can safely overlook them. For most products, the date on the packaging label is not an expiration date, but a ‘best by’ or ‘sell by’ date, says Londa Nwadike, extension associate professor of food safety at the Kansas State University and the University of Missouri. 【2】

Although expired food may not be at its peak deliciousness, it should still be safe to consume. 【3】If a product is discolored, moldy, abnormally soft, or it generally looks and/or smells bad, throw it out immediately—no matter how carefully it was stored.

【4】Perishable foods should be kept in the refrigerator or the freezer to avoid spoilage. Foods that do not require refrigeration for safety have lower risk and they can generally be consumed safely longer, she adds. For instance, dry pasta can still be eaten one year after opening it if it was stored in the pantry.

A．In general, the dates on the food—other than infant formula and baby food—are set for quality, rather than safety purposes.

B．but what if experts say consuming foods past their expiration dates isn’t always bad?

C．To optimize quality and shelf life and avoid food waste, proper storage is crucial.

D．but does that mean people should toss them out the second that date passes?

E．There’s no hard and fast rule, and it’s more important to pay attention to how long since the food was bought and whether it was kept in proper conditions.

F．In fact, a lot of the time consumers aren’t able to see (or even taste) harmful bacteria that could be living on the expired food.

Then, on day 26, it got worse. I had to ________ through the day, which took almost 11 hours. I kept telling myself I couldn’t fail. If I ________, the pain would have stopped, but I knew I would ________ it for the rest of my life. On May 20, I finished, four days after my 50th birthday.

31、   Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

If you can’t seem to catch enough Z’s during the week, you’re not alone. But bad things happen to your body when you’re sleep-deprived, not least of which is weight gain. Well, here’s some good news: Sleeping in on the weekend to make up for sleep lost during the week is 【1】 with lower body mass index (BMI), according to a study published in the Oxford University Press journal Sleep.

The researchers, a collaboration of scientists based in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Republic of Korean, sought to determine if what they refer to as “catch-up sleep” 【2】 body mass index (BMI) in the general population. To do so, they conducted face-to-face interviews of a random sampling of 2,156 adults, comparing their sleep habits with their BMI scores. The 932 participants who slept in — “catch-up sleepers” (people who sleep longer on the weekend than on weekdays by approximately two hours) had a(n) 【3】 lower BMI than the other subjects. What’s more, every additional hour of catch-up sleep was linked with a decrease in BMI.

As to why sleeping in on weekends can lead to weight loss, one of the study co-authors, Robert Thomas, MD, MMSc, of the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Department of Medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, 【4】 Reader’s Digest of the “substantial(大量的) experimental and epidemiological(流行病学的) data that short sleep contributes to weight gain.” He notes, “our best 【5】 as researchers are that there are balances to be kept, and the body can adjust and 【6】 within reason. Catch-up sleep allows the basic balance to be maintained.”

Although the study showed significant differences in BMI with the 【7】 of two or more hours of catch-up sleep, Dr. Thomas points out that there are “substantial individual differences,” such that the benefit we get from those extra hours will vary 【8】 on how much sleep each of us generally needs. “To determine your optional sleep, you can track the time spent sleeping on nights when there is no need to wake up to an alarm,” suggests Liza Baker, a health coach at Simply Health Coaching. That tells you about how many hours of sleep your body likes to get, since it 【9】 greatly across the population, from just 4 to 5 hours to 9 to 10 hours.

So can you actually lost weight by sleeping in on the weekend? Only if you’re paying off a sleep 【10】 from the week, according to the result of this study. It helps if you’re also eating less, Dr. Thomas adds.
