If you’re planning on traveling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.

First of all, always check and double-check departure (起程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.

The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(貨幣) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via(經(jīng)由)Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.

“Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing (令人難堪的).

The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.

1.According to the passage, it’s obvious that______

A. The author learns some rules of traveling from his own experience.

B. The author doesn’t plan his trips or journeys carefully.

C. Englishmen like to wear heavy suits wherever they travel

D. The America taxi driver never travels to England.

2.What should you make sure first before setting off?

A. When you will leave.           B. Where you will go.

C. How you will travel           D. Whom you will go with.

3.According to the passage, the driver was angry because_______

A. the author gave him false money

B. the author did not give him the local currency

C. the author did not give him money

D. the author had no enough change

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The author tells people to choose warm places as their travel destinations.

B. You don’t have to take credit cards when traveling.

C. You should know more about the weather of the place you’ll visit.

D. You should take enough change when you travel to other countries.

5.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. A few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.

B. Always check and double-check departure time.

C. It is important to have the local currency with you when you arrive in a country.

D. To find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.

American society is not nap (午睡)friendly . In fact , says David Dings , sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine , “There’s even a prohibition (禁止) against admitting we need sleep”. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work . To quote a proverb : “Some sleep five hours , nature requires seven , laziness nine and wickedness(淘氣的) eleven.”

The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them . “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping ,” says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University , the godfather of sleep research .

Last year a national commission led by Dement identified(發(fā)現(xiàn)) an “American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt . The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness : people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving . This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House . According to recent reports , President Clinton is trying to take a half---hour snooze (瞌睡) every afternoon .

About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity . We seem to have “a mid afternoon quiet phase ,” also called “a secondary sleep gate .” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed . Clearly , we were born to nap .

We superstars of snooze don’t nap to replace lost shut--eye or to prepare for a night shift . Rather , we “snack” on sleep ,whenever , wherever and at whatever time we feel like it . I myself have napped in buses , cars , planes and on boats ; on floors and beds ;and in libraries ,  offices and museums .

1.The research done by the Dement Commission shows that Americans     .

A．don’t like to take naps

B．a(chǎn)re terribly worried about their national debt

C．think that lack of enough sleep causes many accidents

D．have caused many industrial and traffic accidents

2.The purpose of this article is to     .

  1. warn us of the wickedness of napping 

B. explain the danger of sleepiness

C. discuss the side effects of napping

D. convince the reader of the necessity of napping

3.The “American sleep debt”(Line 1 , Para .3) is the result of      .

  1. the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep
  2. the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration
  3. the rapid development of American industry
  4. the Americans’ worry about the danger of sleepiness

4.The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is      .

  1. preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shift
  2. good practice to eat something light before we go to bed
  3. essential (基本的) to make up for lost sleep
  4. natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it

科目：高中英語 來源：2012屆湖北省高二下學(xué)期期末聯(lián)考英語題 題型：閱讀理解

I have had just about enough of being treated like a second-class citizen, simply because I happen to be that unfairly treated member of society --- a customer. The more I go into shops and hotels, banks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more I am convinced the things are being run solely to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be a deceptive (欺騙的) new motto for so-called “service” organizations --- Staff Before Service.

　　 How often, for example, have you queued for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there were not enough staff on duty to man all the service grilles or checkout counters? Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to hire cashiers and counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting darkly at higher prices, claim that uncovering all their cash registers at any one time would increase operating costs. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service grilles to be occupied “at times when demand is low”.

　　  It is the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them, dining rooms close earlier or menu choice is cut short. As for us guests, we just have to put up with it. There is also the nonsense of so many friendly hotel night porters having been thrown out of their jobs in the interests of “efficiency” and replaced by coin-eating machines which offer everything from lager to laxatives (從貯藏啤酒到通便劑). Not to mention the tea-making kit in your room: a kettle with a mixed collection of tea bags, plastic milk boxes and lump sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag? I do not, especially when I am paying for “service”.

　　Can it be stopped, this worsening of service, this growing attitude that the customer is always a bore? I angrily hope so because it is happening, sadly, in all walks of life.

　　Our only hope is to hammer home our anger whenever and wherever we can and, if all else fails, bring back into practice that other, older slogan --- Take Our Deal Elsewhere.
