Question

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 (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 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 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.

解析試題分析：本文分析了人們?cè)谖绾罄У脑�因，并建議我們午后小睡一會(huì)，解釋了這樣做的重要性
【小題1】C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段3,4,5行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.說明C正確。
【小題2】D 計(jì)算題。根據(jù)文章第4行At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down.可知在蘇醒以后8個(gè)小時(shí)，人體的溫度下降，人會(huì)犯困，故6:30起床，8個(gè)小時(shí)以后就是下午2點(diǎn)30，故D正確。
【小題3】B 主旨大意題。本文分析了人們?cè)谖绾罄У脑�因，并建議我們午后小睡一會(huì)，解釋了這樣做的重要性，故B正確。
