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 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.

What would you like to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? An astronaut? What do you need to do to achieve your dream job? Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you successful career you want. We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually pay off.
But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder. Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more important than your education?
76% of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. They believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy.
Even if you don’t have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet other people, to communicate and build relationships. It’s a valuable skill.
But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Although most people believed that networks are more important than education, many people put their own career success down to talent, rather than background. 41% of the people said that their parents’ income had influenced their life, but at the same time, another 41% believed that they had achieved their own success.
So which is more important, what you know or who you know? It seems that by working hard and making lots of connections, the answer may be that both are very important.
32. Which of the following is closet in meaning to the underlined part?
A. Practice makes perfect B. Nothing is impossible

Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways 33 (improve) our English writing ability.
Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes 34 (little) time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist (坚持) in this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many 35 (difficult). Firstly, it often happens that we have trouble 36 (find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there 37 (be) many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is 38 (extreme) hard for us to put them into English properly.
As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is 39 we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also ask our English teacher 40 help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is 41 great use to keep a diary in English for the 42 (develop) of our writing skills.
Ben, at the age of 23 ,was the youngest man to ski solo to the North Pole. He dragged a 180-kilogramme sledge (雪橇) over 1,420 miles through the worst Arctic conditions. This year, Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn, carrying all his supplies on his sledge.
Ben Saunders was fired after persuading the firm to support his disorganized first adventure. “Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We didn’t get to the Pole, so we had no media interest. No one heard about it.”
“People said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole. I said, “No, I can get there,” and I did. Self-belief, I see it as being a bit like a muscle — it's my belief that the more you stretch yourself the stronger it gets. If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self-belief gets weaker. So that's one of the lessons I’ve figured out along the way.
“My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me. If I knew I could do it without too much bother, I wouldn’t be interested." Why? “Personally I'm attracted by the human performance element to it. Not that long ago, running a marathon was seen as the top point of human attempt, and now I wouldn’t be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one."
People’s horizons are changing. “I'm not particularly gifted. I’ve just chosen this one goal to achieve and I’ve been working hard to realize it. And that’s the thing that attracts me: with enough training and enough determination, enough focus and preparation, how far can we go? And I don,t think I've found out yet.”
21. What do we know about Ben Saunders’ first adventure?
A. It was ruined by his company. B. There was no press coverage.
C. It was well planned and organized. D. He actually reached the North Pole.
22. According to Ben Saunders, if you want to stretch your self-belief, you should______ .
A. often test your confidence B. try something adventurous
C. aim to reach the North Pole D. always stretch your muscles
23. Ben Saunders was excited about his Antarctic adventure because_______ .
A. he liked running a marathon B. he wanted to exercise his body
C. he knew it might be achievable D. he was sure he could do it easily
24. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. We have to change our views about adventure.
B. We can never know our possibilities and energies.
C. We should have a reason for going on an adventure.
D. We have to be especially talented to have an adventure.

If you took the strengths of others and compared them to your weaknesses, would this make you feel good? The funny thing is that this is what most of us do at one time or another—and some of us do it pretty often. It's a sure-fire recipe for a drop in self-confidence and for unhappiness. So how can we stop comparing ourselves with others? Here are some tips I've found useful.
Awareness.
Most often we do these social comparisons without realizing we're doing it. It's a natural act, I suppose. So the solution is to become aware. If you focus on these thoughts for a few days, it will become much easier with practice, and soon it'll be hard not to notice.
Stop yourself.
Once you realize you're making these comparisons, stop yourself. Don't feel bad—just admit the thought, and gently change the focus.
Count your blessings.
Focus on what you do have, and on what you are already blessed with. Count what you have, not what you don't have. Think about how lucky you are to have what you have, to have the people in your life who care about you. If you always want what others have, you will never have enough. You will always want more. That's an endless cycle, and it will never lead to happiness. Instead, learn to realize that what you have is already enough.
Focus on your strengths.
Instead of looking at your weaknesses, ask yourself what your strengths are. Be proud of them. Work on using them to your best advantage.
No one is perfect—we all know that. But we seem to feel bad when we don't reach perfection. You aren't perfect and you never will be. Keep trying to improve, but don't think you'll ever be the "perfect person". If you realize that imperfection is what makes you who you are, you are already perfect.

As far as I know, time is not always enough all of us. So first of all, you need to arrange your time well. You’d better to make a long-term study plan. That is to say, an one-month plan with more efforts to take up his weak subjects. And a short-term plan is equal necessary, if not more important.

A few months ago the potato was considered an enemy in the obesity battle but a new study shows the food isn’t that bad after all.
In June, researchers from Harvard University found that eating some of the potato every day, whether mashed(被磨碎), deep fried or baked, caused more weight gain than an extra can of drink or red or some kind of meat. The conclusion was that it happened because potatoes were always cooked-----making it easier for the body to change the starch(淀粉) which would increase the blood sugar levels. The body then had to work extra hard to get levels down but falling blood sugar made people hungry, which led to eating more food.
But a University of Otago study showed today brought some good news for spud lovers. It found it was hard to tell the glycemic index(GI)(血糖指数) level of mixed meals for persons. “In general, different foods are tested for GI and it is less usual to test the GI for a whole meal,” one of the study’s authors, Hayley Dodd, said. “However, in this study, the GIs of three meals were tested. The meals all contained chicken, peas, carrots and mutton together with a lot of food including potato, white rice or spaghetti.”
It found the GI for each meal lower than thought; researchers had expected the potato meal would have a GI of 65, but it came in at 53, which was low. “Although potato is high-GI food into their meals-----our work suggests that having a small amount of potato with a meal isn’t going to drive your blood sugar high.
The study involved 30 healthy people aged 18-50. The research has been published in the October issue of the American.
8. The underlined word “spud” in the third paragraph may mean_________.
A. chicken B. pea C. carrot D. potato

The number of buses, taxis and other vehicles on Kenya’s roads is growing every day. Now, the country’s first electric-powered motorbikes are coming onto the market. The bike is designed to cut down on pollution and aimed at low-income communities. Most motorbikes used in Kenya depend on gasoline, but not this new motorbike.
Three university students developed the new ecotran bike. It catches the sun’s energy, stores it in batteries and uses it to charge the electric motor. Robert Achoge is one of the student inventors. “Our hope is that by the fifth year, we will be able to cover the whole of Kenya with the electric motorcycle so as to protect the environment and provide affordable transport.”
The students have set up a charging station for the motorbikes in Nairobi. The small battery can run for 70 kilometers when fully charged. Once the power is used up, the motorbike has to return to the station while another charged battery is connected to the bike. The U.S. African Development Foundation(ADF) is helping set up two solar-powered charging stations in the port of Kisumu.
Each ecotran bike costs about $700. One taxi operator says the new motorbike costs less to operate than that running on traditional gasoline. “When it comes to buying gasoline, there’s no need. It’s basically good for various things. As long as you won’t take quite a heavy load, you can go with it anywhere. Otherwise, it may break down halfway. But now people still have a preference to the gas-powered bikes”
A Nairobi businessman Kennedy Kusimba is selling the ecotran bikes. He hopes they will become popular. “We also know they are more reliable compared to the gas-powered bikes. They are more efficient and they will last longer.”

B. It is a good choice for the long-distance journey.
C. It will take the place of gas-powered bikes soon.
D. It is much more expensive than a traditional motorbike.

Podcasts (播客)
The B. S. Report
Designed for the sports fan with a sense of humor, The B. S. Report is hosted by the sportswriter Bill Simmons. Simmons’ show is in very loose and free form and it’s not uncommon for him to go almost a whole show without even mentioning sports, especially when he really gets going about movies or his ongoing enthusiasm about reality television.
Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me
One of the most popular programs on National Public Radio, Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me is now available as a podcast. The show is a news program in the form of a game show. Each week a group of three humorists and writers join host Peter Sagal in Chicago, where they are quizzed on the week’s most important and funny news stories. Listeners also get to call in to play different news related games for a prize.
The Moth
The Moth is a weekly podcast run by a nonprofit art organization. The show is made up of recordings of “true stories told before a live audience without notes”. Each week, the group releases short 10-20 minute tales told by people from all walks of life. Past presenters have included writers, comedians, scientists, and even New York City police officers.
Filmspotting
Filmspotting is a weekly podcast and is a must-listen for any movie fan. The show is focused on movie reviews, but hosts Adam Kempenaar and Matty Robinson do more than just tell their listeners which new movie is worth seeing. They also discuss and examine film as an art form. The show doesn’t just focus on current movies, either, as the hosts frequently discuss old films as part of theme marathons.
