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 inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.

Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. 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 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 naps 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(遭受) less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people， unfortunately， have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps， employers do not allow it!

If you do have the chance， however， here are a few tips about making the most 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 for too long. If you do not have enough time， try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

1.Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?

A. Because it’s very hot in summer.

B. Because you eat too much for lunch.

C. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.

D. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.

2.What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?

A. If your time is limited， a short nap can also help.

B. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.

C. You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.

D. You can sleep as long as you like so that you won’t feel tired or sleepy.

3.What can we learn about “naps” according to the third paragraph?

A. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.

B. Taking naps is helpful for people’s health in spring and summer.

C. If you take naps every day， you’ll have less risk of heart disease.

D. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.

4.What can we infer(推斷) from the passage?

A. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.

B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.

C. If you get up at 6：30 am， you’d better take a nap at about 2：30 pm.

D. Sleeping for eight hours and you’ll feel sleepy a short period later.

5.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Just For a Rest.

B. A1l For a Nap.

C. A Special Sleep Pattern.

D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.

Are “Basics”Enough for Students?

An American education expert says many schools are spending too much time teaching the ―basics‖ – reading, math and writing. That might be different from what educators have been saying in America. But U.S. Education Secretary John King says children really need a well-rounded（全面的）education that includes music and the arts.

King spoke about his own education when explaining why schools need to teach more than math, reading and writing. His parents died when he was young. He said things in his house were frightening. It was his teacher in Grades Four, Five and Six – Mr. Osterweil – who helped him escape from his difficult life at home. Each day in Mr. Osterweil’s class, students would read a newspaper. The teacher took him and his classmates to the theater, the zoos and famous museums.

“Those were powerful, life-changing experiences,‖ King says. After he graduated from Harvard University, he took charge of New York State public schools from 2011-2015. ―I’m alive today, I’m doing the work that I do today because I had Mr. Osterweil during that period of my life,‖ King says. ―Students need to connect their studies to things that matter to them, such as music, if they want to become a thinker.‖

A 2013 report by UNESCO（聯合國教科文組織）, says world needs people to be able to solve new and unusual problems now. It says arts can help students find those answers. In the report, UNESCO says teaching the arts in China, South Korea and Japan is different from that in many western countries. ―The educators in those three countries pay more attention on joyful experiences and children’s interests,‖ the report says. ―In the West, educators are more likely to connect the arts to reading, writing and math.”

Comparing countries is hard because they have different ways to define success. For example some people may think getting high marks in exams is success, while others may hold different views. A 2014 survey by the Program for International Student Assessment tried to compare how well countries teach children how to solve problems. It found Singapore, South Korea, Japan, and China with the highest scores. Singapore was the top one with a score of 562 out of 1,000. The average（平均的） score was 500. The United States had a score of 508, one point behind Germany.

So it may be worth rethinking what we should focus on in our class. The ―basics‖ is not the only part of education.

1. We can learn from the passage that __________.

A. King’s family life was warm and happy

B. King’s teacher focused on ―basics‖ more

C. educators in the West teach music for joy

D. arts can help students solvenew problems

2. The word “define” in Paragraph 6 probably means―_________”

A. get the pleasure of B. make full use of

C. give the meaning of D. take the place of

3. The writer probably agrees that______.

A. students need more than “basics”to learn

B. getting high marks in exams is success

C.education depends a lot on the hobbies

D. we need more time to learn “basics”
