Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies in their bodies. At that time---about eight hours after you wake up, your body temperature goes down. This is what makes slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern(模式). They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that _____________ are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from heart disease.
Many working people, unluckily, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers(雇主們) do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making use of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap--- even ten minutes sleep can be helpful.

His first business failed because it was not making money. After that, he went to Denver to learn how to make caramels(焦糖). He took his new skills back to New York and worked selling candies on the street. But his second business also failed.
Finally, Milton Hershey moved back to Pennsylvania where he grew up. He then experimented with all sorts of different candies and chocolate. By 1893 he was selling a million dollars worth of caramel candy each year. Since his chocolate-flavored(巧克力味的) caramels were the best selling, he decided to make chocolate himself.
By experimenting, Milton Hershey discovered how to make delicious chocolate. The area where he lived had a large and easy supply of milk and sugar, which helped him succeed in his chocolate business. In 1903, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and a town to go with it.
Today, the town of Hershey is still the home if the factory that Milton Hershey built. And if you ever visit, you can smell delicious chocolate smells just bu driving through the town.
The factory is not so hard to find, Just travel down Cocoa Avenue until you get to East Chocolate Avenue. Turn right at the traffic lights and just follow your nose.
小題1:Who is the father of Hershey Chocolate?
小題2:Where did he grow up?
小題3:Why did he go to Denver?
小題4:Why did he decide to make chocolate himself?
小題5:What might be the reasons for Hershey’s success in his chocolate business?

Do you know what a resolution is? It’s a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. For example, “Mom, I promise I’m going to tidy my room when I get back from school.” However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and the most common kind is New Year’s resolutions. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions. When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.
There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. These are about making yourself a better person.
Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork. For example, a student may have to find more time to study.
Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! There are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you — will you make any next year?
小題1:Is a resolution a promise you make to other people?
小題2:When do people often make resolutions?
小題3:Who do some people tell their resolutions to?
小題4:How many kinds of resolutions are mentioned in the second paragraph?
小題5:Why do people hardly keep their resolutions?

Gift giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.
When giving gifts, sometimes color is important. For example, for many Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky color, and people often like to pack gifts in this color. However, did you know that in Korea ，red is a color of death. That is why you should not pack gifts in this color if you are giving a gift to a Korean person.
What about western countries? In western countries, the color of packing paper is not really important. But color does matter when giving flowers，especially roses．You should not give red roses to a western person you don't know very well because they are a symbol (象征) of love．You could give yellow roses instead as these are a symbol of friendship．You could also send pink roses as gifts to say thank you．
What other things should you remember when giving gifts to someone from a different culture? Well，one thing you should keep in mind is the person’s religion (宗教)．When choosing a gift for a Muslim (回教徒的)or Jewish (猶太族的)friend，you should never get food including pork or things made from pigskin．Another thing that you should not get for a Muslim person is alcohol(酒)．
根據(jù)短文內容簡要回答下列問題
小題1:In which country do people think red is the color of death?
小題2:How could we show our friendship to the western friends?
小題3: Can we give a Muslim friend a bottle of alcohol as a gift ?
小題4: How many colors are mentioned (提到) in this passage?
小題5:What’s the main idea of this passage?
