As the name suggests, the hour-long group class, as a way to “reinvigorate (使再振作) the mind and improve moods”, does not have any exercise. Instead, clients (顧客) are guided through 15 minutes of light stretching (拉伸) to help them relax. Then, they are encouraged to cuddle (依偎) under the blankets of a comfortable bed, cover their eyes with an eye mask, and take a nap for 45 minutes. With music playing and the room set to the perfect temperature, clients can have the best possible sleep. The class is currently being offered at just one place. If popular, they will be given to more other David Lloyd Clubs.

Although the class sounds like a marketing plan, there might be some science behind it. According to a study done at the Allegheny College in Pennsylvania, participants who took a 45-minute nap in the middle of their day not only help them feel well-rested, but also deal with stress better than those who didn’t. And a different study from the University of California at Berkeley showed that a 45-minute nap in the middle of the day helps to improve learning abilities.

Opening windows can help provide fresh air. Some buildings also use fans to bring in outdoor air. Each time someone breathes, he or she breathes out CO2. When rooms are stuffy, the level of CO2 in those rooms can build up. A 2012 study showed that college students had more difficulty giving all their attention to their learning when indoor CO2 levels were high. And other research has found that primary school students in stuffier classrooms stayed homesick (想家的) more often. In a different study, researchers examined the air quality (質(zhì)量) in 100 fifth-grade classrooms. They found that in most classrooms, the air quality did not meet the standards (標準).

These same research groups now find that better air is connected with better test scores too. As part of the research, Richard Shaughnessy measured CO2 levels inside and out of 140 fifth-grade classrooms at 70 schools. The CO2 levels helped them know how much fresh air was running through each classroom. The quality of indoor air in each classroom was then compared to its students, scores on a Maths test. Overall, the average score for this test was 2,286 points. But kids in classrooms with the best air quality scored about 144 points higher than students breathing the stuffiest indoor air. The study shows that air quality and test scores are really connected, but the influence is small.

【1】The findings of the new research mainly show the importance of _______.

A. hard work B. enough sleep

【2】What did the author want to show by mentioning a 2012 study?

A. College students studied in stuffy classrooms.

B. High indoor CO2 levels harmed students1 health.

C. College students had difficulty in focusing in class.

D. High indoor CO2 levels harmed college students’ learning.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Opening windows and using fans can reduce the level of CO2 in the air.

B. The level of CO2 will be higher when there are more people in a stuffier room.

C. Students studying in stuffier classrooms cannot get good test scores.

D. The air quality will seriously influence students’ scores.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Many classrooms lack fresh air.

B. Stuffy classrooms lead to problems.

C. Stuffy classrooms may lower test scores.

D. CO2 in classrooms leads to poor performance.

This made John Medcalf, the priest, really moved (感動的). He also realized that people would love to read if given a chance. But he knew how difficult it was for Leonardo and those in his village to get books. And yet, no one can be taught to read and write without books. To make people in a poor area grow to love books, they have to be with them. So he thought the only way was to bring books to people.

But how could this be done? Mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the hilly (多丘陵的) land of Peru. So what other methods could be used?

He got a new idea from the barefoot (赤腳) doctors of China. And that was how the barefoot librarians (圖書管理員) first appeared in the villages of northern Peru, almost thirty years ago.

At first, they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged to. But the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work. So, the elders in the village took on the job themselves.

Today, there are 600 village libraries across Peru. The barefoot librarians need to walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books.
