Sleep

　　Babies sleep about eighteen hours a day．Mrs Thatcher and Napoleon both said they only needed to do it three or four hours a night．Sleep．No one can live without it．But how much do we really need?

　　Research(研究)by the National Sleep Foundation in Washington says that we all need eight hours’ sleep every night．Scientists have found that people who sleep for less than six and a half hours for a night are more often ill than people who sleep for eight hours．Going without sleep also increases(增加)the chance of serious illness．“Workaholics(工作狂)”who sleep for less than five hours often die young, and do less well at work．

　　The scientists found that adults(成年人)usually sleep for seven hours a night, with 32％ sleeping less than six hours．

　　It also says that the idea that we need less sleep as we get older is completely untrue．“People have no idea how important sleep is to their lives, ”Dr Thomas Roth, director of the Foundation says, “Good health needs good sleep．”

　　“But not too much of it, ”says Professor Jim Horne of Loughborough University, “sleep is like food and drink, ”he believes, “you would always like to have a little bit more．but that doesn’t mean you need it．”Professor Horne studied a group of people who could spend as many hours as they wanted in bed, after ten hours they didn’t find it any easier to get up in the morning．And people who sleep for more than nine hours a night die younger than people who usually sleep for seven or eight!

You may know that more people drink coffee than tea around the world. And that, after oil, it is the second biggest traded commodity（商品）. You may also know that the drink comes from beans which are first roasted and then ground. But what else do you know about this popular drink?

It is said that the story of coffee started with an Ethiopian goatherd named Kaldi. One day Kaldi was surprised to see that his goats were behaving very strangely. Instead of grazing（吃草） quietly, they were jumping around, almost dancing. He also noticed some red “cherries” from a plant that the goats were eating. He tried some himself and was surprised by the feeling of extreme happiness and excitement. He felt like dancing too!

But it wasn’t used as a drink at first - it was used as food. The coffee berries, mixed with animal fat, were used by monks to stay awake during long hours of prayer. From Ethiopia, coffee was later cultivated in Yemen and the first hot drink was developed there around AD 1000. Three centuries later Muslims were keen coffee drinkers and as Islam spread, so did coffee. Coffee houses appeared in Cairo and Mecca.

For hundreds of years the plants were protected safely. But some beans were smuggled（偷運(yùn)）out of Arabia and taken to India. In the 17th century, coffee was soon grown in a new continent. From India to Indonesia, a century later the beans were once again smuggled to Brazil. Brazil is now the largest coffee producer in the world.

It was the caffeine（咖啡因）that made the goats dance and kept the monks awake. Although it is found in other soft drinks and tea, coffee has the most caffeine. In the short term, a couple of cups of coffee can prevent fatigue and delay sleep. But several cups a day, every day, can cause anxiety and restlessness.

1.What is the world’s biggest traded commodity?

A. Oil   B. Coffee   C. Tea

2.Why did the goatherd want to dance?

A. Because he liked to dance with his goats.

B. Because he found his goats behaving strangely.

C. Because he ate some red “cherries” from a plant.

3. Which of the following events came first?

A. Coffee houses appeared in Mecca.

B. Coffee became a drink.

C. Coffee spread as Islam spread.

4. Which sentence is true?

A. Monks were the first to drink coffee.

B. Too much coffee can make people anxious.

C. Brazilians liked drinking coffee the most.

5. Around the world more people drink coffee than tea because _____.

A. coffee berries can be eaten

B. coffee has the most caffeine

C. coffee can prevent fatigue and delay sleep
