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 the 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 less from problems such as heat disease.‎ Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. 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. ‎ ‎21. Why do many people feel sleepy in the early afternoon?‎ A. They’ve been hard working.‎ B. They’ve eaten much for lunch.‎ C. The body temperature drops a little. ‎ D. It usually becomes warmer in the afternoon.‎ ‎22. According to the text, what is the best time for you to take a nap if you get up at 6:30 a.m.?‎ A. At about 14:30 B. At about 13:30‎ C. At about15:30 D. At about 12:30‎ ‎23. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. A nap a day keeps you healthy.‎ B. You need a nap to work better.‎ C. Everyone has a sleep pattern.‎ D. Naps are traditional. ‎ B Professional English Training Tutor We are agency company, seeking professional business English training tutor for a US company.

I agree. However, people forget that your children can learn from experiences outside school. Family travel allows kids to explore new cultures, spend quality time with their parents and expand their horizons. My parents taught me this and took my brother and me to South Africa, Russia and Europe when we were kids. I have carried on this tradition and I hope my children will continue it.‎ ‎ Traveling with children is neither easy nor cheap, but it is worth every penny.‎ ‎ Both my kids got their passports mere weeks after they were born and boarded their first plane to Chile when they were only three months old. With careful planning, the hassle (困难) of going through airport security and enduring an overnight flight can be minimized and once you arrive at your destination, it is so worth it.‎ ‎ Every city, every town and every country they have visited has allowed my children to learn so much more than what they learn in a classroom. Traveling exposes them to so much more than a textbook. They have experienced different cultures, smelled the local markets, touched handicrafts made by local artisans, and tasted different foods. They have been in places where there is limited contact with the rest of the world and seen how living conditions vary not only between different countries, but also between different cities.‎ ‎ Actually, my kids (now 7 and 10) have learned to pack. They know what they can take through airport security and what is not allowed to go through it. The most important thing they have learned so far, though, is that we do not share the same background, but we can all find common ground. They have learned to respect others and felt respected as well.‎ ‎28. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Kids like to travel around the world.‎ B. Family travel is a great investment.‎ C. Education is the most important thing.‎ D. Parents should spend more time with kids.‎ ‎29. Why does the author attach so much importance to family travel?‎ A. Because she likes to explore new areas and meet new people.‎ B. Because she wants to give her kids a comfortable life.‎ C. Because she believes kids can benefit a lot from it.‎ D. Because she misses her parents very much.‎ ‎ 30. What can we learn from para.2?‎ ‎ A. The author’s kids started travelling as very young babies.‎ ‎ B. Travelling with kids is an easy job for the author.‎ ‎ C. Travelling with kids actually costs little money.‎ ‎ D. Travel can be a great challenge for young babies.‎ ‎ 31. We can learn from Para.3 that the author’s kids ______.‎ ‎ A. like to visit classrooms in different countries ‎ B. don’t like studying in the classroom ‎ C. realize that there are many poor people in the world ‎ D. have gained much knowledge from their experiences D ‎ Most of the time, people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions. Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position. But nowadays, hats, especially women’s hats, are much more than that. More exactly, hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars. What’s more, people now consider many different features (特点)when choosing even a simple hat. Many designers point out that, when choosing the right hat, it’s important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair, your height, and the shape of your face.‎ First of all, the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair. For instance, black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned. If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair, one will look as attractive as a summer flower. Second, the height of the hat is also an important point. Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns, just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height. Third, and most importantly, the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick. A small, gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face. However, women with big, round faces should choose a different style.‎ As the saying goes, “Fine feathers make fine birds.” A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features, so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public?‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “harsh” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A. good B. strange C. different D. bad ‎33. According to the article, which of the following women would look most ‎ attractive?‎ A. A big-faced woman who wears a small, nice hat.‎ B. A tall woman who wears a hat with a huge upturned brim.‎ C. A short red-haired woman who wears a purple hat.‎ D. A small dark-skinned woman who wears a black hat with a tall crown.‎ ‎34. What does the last paragraph suggest?‎ A. Hats can help you look better in public. ‎ B. Hats are worn on the head to keep warm.‎ C. Hats are not as important as character. ‎ D. Hats can make you look much taller.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the article?‎ A. How to Show Your Social Position ‎ B. How to Improve Your Features C. How to Design a Nice Hat ‎ D. How to Choose a Proper Hat ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ In these times of tough competition and tight economy, most of us are looking for ways to reduce stress, be it at the home or workplace.
