Question

【題目】 We all do it. We all need it. Most of us need to do it for seven to nine hours a night. It is of course sleep. Many scientists believe the truth. An adult should get eight hours sleep every night. However, some people can live without feeling sleepy after as little as six hours of sleep. But other people need about ten hours a night. Babies usually sleep between 14 to 17 hours a day. Usually they only stay awake for one to three hours.

Do you take a nap (打盹) in the day? Some adults and children need to nap. This just depends on the person. One thing scientists have learned is that man is the only mammal (哺乳動(dòng) 物 ) that stops himself from going to sleep. This can be bad for our bodies in many ways. Scientists believe not sleeping enough can make us eat more. And not sleeping enough can make us put on weight. Hopefully you are a good sleeper and get a good night’s rest tonight!

【解析】

本文講述了人們大多數(shù)人每晚需要花七到九個(gè)小時(shí)去睡覺(jué)。一個(gè)成年人每晚應(yīng)該睡8個(gè)小時(shí)，嬰兒通常每天睡14到17個(gè)小時(shí)，通常他們只醒一到三個(gè)小時(shí)。一些成年人和兒童需要小睡�？茖W(xué)家認(rèn)為睡眠不足會(huì)使人們吃得更多和使人們發(fā)胖。

【1】根據(jù)“yet”可知此處是“但是”，結(jié)合所給首字母，所以此處是“however”故答案為 however。

【2】根據(jù)“a fully grown person”可知一個(gè)完全成熟的人，結(jié)合所給首字母，可知是“成人”，故答案為adult。

【3】stop…from doing sth=prevent…doing sth表示“阻止某人做什么”，根據(jù)“stops himself from going to sleep.”可知阻止自己入睡，且此處是動(dòng)詞三單，故答案為prevents，going。

【4】根據(jù)“An adult should get eight hours sleep every night.”可知一個(gè)成年人每晚應(yīng)該睡8個(gè)小時(shí)，故答案為Eight.

【5】根據(jù)“Babies usually sleep between 14 to 17 hours a day.”可知嬰兒通常每天睡14到17個(gè)小時(shí)，故答案為Babies.

【6】根據(jù)“Scientists believe not sleeping enough can make us eat more. And not sleeping enough can make us put on weight. ”可知科學(xué)家認(rèn)為睡眠不足會(huì)使我們吃得更多，睡眠不足會(huì)使我們發(fā)胖，故答案為Not sleeping enough can make us eat more and put on weight.
