26、Can I train myself to need less sleep?

As an experiment for his high-school science fair in 1964, a 17-year-old San Diego boy named Randy Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours. That is 11 days. The project attracted the attention of the Stanford sleep researchers William Dement. Dement and other researchers took turns watching and assessing the young man's consciousness. 【1】 Nor did he seem to suffer any permanent setbacks. Dement said that on day 10, Gardner even beat him at pinball.

I asked David Dinges, the chief of the division of sleep at the University of Pennsylvania, how many people could do anything close to that without dying. He replied that "when animals are sleep- deprived constantly, they will suffer serious biological consequences. Death is one of those consequences”.

That said, cases like Gardner's--- of people who suffered great sleep deprivation without major setbacks--are well documented. 【2】 Dinges said that "we probably do have people among us—and not necessarily 1 percent; there may be many more than that—who can actually tolerate sleep loss better than others." This proposition has been borne out in studies of participants in transoceanic sailing races, which did not afford them the luxury of long blocks of sleep. 【3】

The concept of sleeping in short bursts has spread since those races began, in the 1960s. Today, a small global community of people practices "polyphasic sleeping”，based on the idea that by dividing your sleep into short bursts, you can get away with less of it.

【4】   And he notes that even for the 1 percent (or so) who can survive on less sleep and function well cognitively, we still don't know how the practice might be affecting metabolism, mood, and many other factors. “ You may be cheerful, but not cognitively fit. Or you may be cognitively fit, but hard to be around because you’re pushy or hyperactive.

A．The winners tended to be the people who slept the least, often in multiple short bursts.

B．The crucial finding was that throughout their time in the study, the sixers thought they were functioning perfectly well.

C．A small number of people, sometimes called "short sleepers” and commonly thought to make up perhaps 1 percent of the population, seem to survive on only four or five hours a night.

D．But when the doctor put patients in a lab to make certain they stayed awake, performance suffered.

E．Though it is possible to train oneself to sleep in short bursts instead of a single nightly block, Dinges says it does not seem possible to train oneself to need less sleep per 24-hour cycle.

F．By all accounts, he took no stimulant medications.

28、   “Who made you T-shirt?” A Georgetown University student raised that question. Piertra Rivoli, a professor of business, wanted to find the answer. A few weeks later, she bought a T-shirt and began to follow its path from Texas cotton farms to Chinese factories to charity bin (慈善捐赠箱). The result is an interesting new book, The travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy.

Following a T-shirt around the world in a way to make her point more interesting, but it also frees Rivoli from the usual arguments over global trade. She goes, wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises around every corner, In China, Rivoli shows why a clothing factory, even with its poor conditions, means a step towards a better life for the people who work there. In the colorful used-clothing markets of Tanzania, she realizes that, “it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market,” where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color. Rivoli's book is full of memorable people and scenes, like the noise, the bad air and the “muddy sweet smell (泥土香味) of the cotton.” She says,”Here in the factory, Shanghai smells like Shallowater, Texas.”

Rivoli is at her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections. She even finds one between the free traders and those who are against globalization. The chances opened up by trade are huge, she argues, but free markets need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check. True economic progress needs them both.

【1】What do we learn about Professor Rivoli?

A.She used to raise and answer questions.

B.She wears a T-shirt wherever she goes.

C.She is deeply interested in world travel.

D.She wrote a book about world trade.

【2】What do we know about T-shirts in Tanzania?

A.Prices of T-shirts rise and fall frequently.

B.Used T-shirts are hard to sell.

C.Cheaper T-shirts are needed.

D.Prices of T-shirts are usually reasonable.

【3】What does the word “them”underlined in the last paragraph refer to?

A.Free traders. B.Free markets.

C.Unexpected connections. D.Chances opened up by trade.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.What T-shirts Can Do to Help Cotton Farms

B.How Shanghai Smells like Texas

C.What T-shirts Can Teach Us

D.How Rivoli travels with her T-shirt

29、It was 3:21 a.m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the cracking(爆烈声) of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin Long Island.

With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, fell down onto the lawn.

The nine-year-old boy raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room. He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious(昏厥的), and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, "acted with all the self-control of a trained adult."

On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.

First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.

He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?

Grasping firmly a ball of string(线) from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother's room. Tying one end of the string to her hand, he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.

Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan, "The string will lead you to mother." Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.

【1】Why did Glenn run downstairs first?

A. He wanted to find out what was happening.

B. He was worried about his mother's safety.

C. He wanted to save his sister and brother.

D. He went to see if his father had come back from work.

【2】Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?

A. Glenn.   B. Glenn's father.

C. Glenn's sister.   D. Glenn's neighbor.

【3】Glenn saved his family because _______.

A. his father had taught him to do so on the phone

B. he had learned something about first aid

C. he had dealt with the emergency(突发事件) calmly and wisely

D. he had followed his mother's instructions

30、On Tuesday, I was having a hard day. I went to _________ in Philadelphia about 5 hours away from my hometown.
