21、The benefits of taking a nap.

Naps can charge your brain’s batteries

Taking a nap may make you more alert for the period right after you wake up and maybe hours into the day. A short sleep may also make you feel more relaxed.

You’ll have lower risk for heart problems

Taking a nap once or twice a week could lower the risk of heart attacks or strokes, according to a 2019 study published in the journal Heart.

After tracking more than 3,400 people between the ages of 35 and 75 for slightly more than five years, the researchers found that those who indulged in occasional napping -- once or twice a week, for five minutes to an hour -- were 48% less likely than those who didn’t nap to experience a heart attack, stroke or heart failure.

It might even help you get into shape

A 2020 study focusing on women found the more sleep-deprived the women were, the more likely they were to consume added sugar, fatty foods and caffeine.

A lack of quality sleep could lead to overeating because inadequate sleep is believed to stimulate hunger and suppress hormone signals that communicate fullness. The findings were important because women are at high risk for obesity and sleep disorders, the researchers said, which can both be driven by a high intake of food. Napping has been found to improve the overall quality of even nighttime sleep.

And boost your creativity

The right side of your brain might experience a mental spark during a nap, research has suggested. The right side is the hemisphere most associated with creative tasks, such as visualization and thinking, while the left is more analytic.

Researchers monitoring the brain activity of 15 people found that the right side of their brain communicated busily with itself as well as with its left counterpart. The left side of the brain, however, remained relatively quiet. In a January 2020 study of 2,214 Chinese adults ages 60 and older, participants who took afternoon naps for five minutes to two hours showed better mental agility than those who didn’t nap.

【1】What was the study in 2019 based on?

A．sleep time

B．subject age

C．study size

D．sleep rate

【2】Accordingto the 2020 study, the sleep-deprived women like eating ________ .

A．fruit and sea food

B．vegetable and wine

C．dessert and coffee

D．noodles and snacks

【3】How did the author develop the last paragraph?

A．By description.

B．By making comparison.

C．By showing figures.

D．By offering an example.

22、Last year, Wolf Cukier, who is 17 years old, spent his summer vacation as few other rising seniors have：he helped discover a planet-TOI 1338b, the newly identified world orbiting two stars which are more than 1, 300 light years away.

Last July， just after he finished his junior year at Scarsdale High school in Scarsdale, New York, Wolf started an internship(实习期) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

During the first week of the internship, as be combed through data that had been flagged by citizen-scientists. he fixed attention on s system that included two orbiting stars. He identified a body in that system that was later proved as a planet about 6.9 times as large as Earth. while knowing this inspiring discovery, his colleagues immediately gave the system a name, TOI 1338b.

According to scientific research, any dip in the brightness of a single star is a good indication that a planet has crossed in front of it. However, TOI 1338b was particularly complicated because it involved two stars-a large star ere the planers track was easy to detect, and a smaller one where the planet's track was so small that it was not observable.

Many people think that wolf is a lucky dog, but as a matter of fact, it is not just a coincidence. When he studied in Junior High School, he had shown great passion on astronomy and was devoted to studying it. Wolf plans to study astrophysics(天体物理学) when he starts college in September. When it came to his contribution to the discovery of the new world. he emphasized it was the team work in the verification process rather than his own effort that counted.

A．He was employed by NASA.

B．He finished his senior year in High School.

C．He spent his summer vacation like other seniors.

D．He helped find a new planet named TOI 1338b.

【2】How can we describe Wolf？

A．Modest and hardworking.

B．Ambitious and casual.

C．Considerate and lucky.

D．Optimistic and helpful.

【3】What can be inferred according to the text?

A．The planet was named by Wolf.

B．The planet is the same size as the Earth.

C．The planet was easy to discover as there are two stars involved.

D．Team work in the verification process was highly valued by Wolf.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A．A diary.

B．A magazine.

C．A guidebook.

D．A scientific novel.

23、My husband is more a kid at heart than I am, so he says we need to find souvenirs for the grandkids while on a trip to Savannah.

I can be a kid at heart, too, but I also can be a mathematician — and even cheap, ugly souvenirs add up quickly when you have 11 grandkids.

Children are of one mind on the subject — they like souvenirs and they want them. So we are digging through piles of (成堆的) cheap key fobs (钥匙链), plastic sun hats, chocolate treats that will melt in the heat, and ridiculous T-shirts, finding nothing.

We go with two hats for the boys but are still empty-handed for the nine girls. Then I spot small bracelets (手链) in a rainbow of colors.

“What about these? ” I ask the husband.

He turns one over a couple of times and says, “Nice.”

The bracelets are made of small beads (珠子) shaped like starfish and turtles. They all look like rock candy, which can be eaten and was a popular souvenir when we were kids. We buy nine and make a mental note: tell the girls not to eat them.

As the clerk rings up the bracelets, I remember a souvenir I had as a girl. We had gone to the east coast and could choose one thing in a shop to remember our trip by. My sister and I chose what we liked. Mine was a blue plastic soapbox with the lid (盖子) covered in silver glitter (小闪光物) and topped with a pink flamingo (火烈鸟). It was cheap and tacky (俗气的) and I believed it was the loveliest thing a girl could own. It was too beautiful to put soap inside, so it sat in a dresser drawer year after year, slowly aging, yellowing, the glitter fling off. But it is still a reminder of a family trip long ago.

The girls are married and have families of their own, and those souvenirs are still in the dresser drawers in their old bedrooms.

I have been won over to the idea that even cheap and tacky souvenirs may have worth and value. Tiny trinkets (小饰品) say I was thinking of you even though we were apart. That’s always a good investment (投资).

【1】What did the author think about his husband, when he wanted to buy souvenirs?

A．Because she found it expensive to buy 11 souvenirs.

B．Because she was good at choosing souvenirs for kids.

C．Because she ever studied mathematics in university.

D．Because their family was not rich enough to buy souvenirs.

【3】What souvenirs did they buy for the grandkids?

A．Some cheap and ordinary souvenirs.

B．Some small bracelets made of beads.

C．Some rock candy which can be eate

D．A blue plastic soapbox with a beautiful lid.

【4】What did the souvenirs for the girls remind the author of?

A．A trip she ever had with her family.

B．A blue plastic soapbox bought by her mother.
