If you have ever experienced jet lag(飛行時(shí)差反應(yīng))，you know how much of a drag it can be. Jet lag happens as a result of air travel, when traveling between two or more time zones. Your body is used to operating in a certain time zone, and when its timing is affected, you’re likely to have problems.
Edward Norton’s character in the movies Fight Club faces the struggle of jet-lag-induced sleeplessness due to his constant traveling. Sleeplessness is just one of the effects of jet lag, and it can lead to other problems, such as tiredness, memory loss and confusion. That’s not something you should have to fight on a business trip and it certainly won’t make your vacation very enjoyable, either.
Sleeplessness is the biggest problem for travelers that suffer from jet lag. Don’t worry. You can do something to prevent it.
Modify(改變)Your Body Clock
To prevent the effects on your body’s timing that come with crossing time zones, you need to change your body clock sooner, rather than later. You can do this by putting yourself on the same time as your destination time zone before you fly. If you know that you will be traveling to London from the eastern United States, you’ll have a five-hour time difference to deal with. Plan for it.
Avoid Heavy Food and Alcohol(酒精)
Part of the pleasure of flying commercially, especially if you fly business or first class, is taking advantages of the food and drinks. If you want to avoid jet lag, though, you should think twice. Eating heavy food will only make the jet lag worse. It isn’t good to drink alcohol during a flight, either, because it may make you drowsy. Wait until your body adjusts(調(diào)整) before you decide to have heavy food or drink alcohol.
【小題1】
What is the main idea of the passage?

A．What jet lag is and the effects it has.
B．What jet lag is and the movies about it.
C．How jet lag happens and how to fight it.
D．How jet lag happens and tips on traveling safely.
【小題2】
Norton’s character in Fight Club has to fight with         .
A．confusionB．sleeplessness
C．heavy drinkingD．memory loss
【小題3】
The underlined word “drowsy” probably means “     ”.
A．worriedB．shockedC．sleepyD．excited
【小題4】
According to the passage, in order to prevent jet lag, you should         .
A．sleep for the whole flightB．drink little alcohol
C．not fly business classD．know your destination well
【小題5】
The passage is most likely taken from         .
A．a(chǎn) travel magazineB．a(chǎn)n entertainment report
C．a(chǎn) geography magazineD．a(chǎn) fashion website

Different people use different languages. We Chinese speak Chinese, and, most of us are learning a foreign language. But there is another kind of language we need to know --- the language of the body.
All over the world, people “talk with their hand, with their heads and with their eyes.” When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British do? Americans are more imformal(不拘小節(jié)的) than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more reserved(保守的). They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask your name.
When British or American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man, he just smiles, and says, “Hello.” Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.
【小題1】In the passsage, the writer thinks that body language is ______________.

A．uselssB．difficultC．quite easyD．important
