Question

【題目】閱讀理解
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. 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(遭受) 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】這篇短文主要講述了人們累了或者是在夏天的午后都會休息或睡覺，休息好對于人們的身體是有好處的。并提出了幾點(diǎn)午睡的建議：最好的時(shí)機(jī)是在你起床后八個(gè)小時(shí)午睡；不能睡太長時(shí)間；時(shí)間不充分，嘗試小憩也是有益的。
（1）D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“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.”可知，是由于你的體溫下降導(dǎo)致困倦，答案為D。（2）A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后的句子“If you do not have enough time， try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.”可知，如果沒有時(shí)間，哪怕10分鐘的小睡也是好的。答案為A。
（3）C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“In countries where naps are traditional， people often suffer(遭受) less from problems such as heart disease.”可以推測，每天午休可以減少患心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。答案為C。
（4）C細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。第一段里說一個(gè)人起床8個(gè)小時(shí)后就需要休息，6：30加上8小時(shí)應(yīng)該是下午2：30.所以答案是C。
（5）B標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文可知主要講述的是小睡對人們的身體有好處。故B答案最切題。
