Everyone knows a power nap (小睡) feels good. If power naps fit right into your normal sleep/wake cycle (周期), they can really help you get through the day.
Our bodies have a timekeeper called the circadian rhythm (昼夜节律). It helps you fall asleep, wake up, and feel more or less tired throughout the day. It also changes during the day, as shown in the picture below.

As we can see, the circadian rhythm is low between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm. To improve your attention, productivity and memory, a power nap may be the answer.
In studies, a 10-minute afternoon nap is the best in improving your energy. And, it makes sense to nap around 2:00 pm.
Besides the length and the timing, there are other ways to have power naps:
● Try deep-breathing as you start.
● Choose a quiet, darkened place. A sleep mask may help.
● Lie down or sit in a comfortable chair.
● Listen to soft music.
● Give yourself a few minutes to refresh after your nap. Try a bit of stretching (伸展) and walking around.
16. During which time does the circadian rhythm decrease?A.7:00 am—10:00 am and 10:00 am—2:00 pm. | B.2:00 pm—4:00 pm and 10:00 pm—7:00 am. |
C.10:00 am—2:00 pm and 2:00 pm—4:00 pm. | D.4:00 pm—10:00 pm and 10:00 pm—7:00 am. |
A.Start working at once. | B.Walk for a few minutes. |
C.Listen to soft music. | D.Take a deep breath. |
A.News. | B.Culture. | C.Health. | D.People. |
①Have you ever experienced a quiet carriage (车厢) while traveling by high-speed train in China? According to China State Railway Group, some high-speed trainlines, including the Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Guangzhou, and Chengdu-Chongqing lines, have introduced quiet carriage services. The service is popular among travelers and has become a hot topic on Weibo.
②Passengers are able to choose quiet carriages when booking train tickets on 12306.cn—the official train ticket booking system website. On the 12306 App, trains with quiet carriages will have a Chinese character “静” to remind passengers. If you want to buy a second-class ticket with quiet carriages, you can choose “Please first allocate (分配) a quiet carriage seat for me.”
③Upon booking, a friendly reminder will pop up. Passengers in the quiet carriage are expected to follow these agreements, including using headphones when listening to music, turning mobile phones to silent mode, stepping out of the quiet carriage when making or receiving calls, and making sure children remain well-behaved.

⑥What’s more, the staff on the train remind each passenger of the arrival information one-on-one. They also provide gentle reminders to the passengers, reminding them to keep a quiet environment within the quiet carriage. The meal service staff will also refrain from introducing products and services within the carriages. If passengers want to order food, they can conveniently scan (扫描) the QR code on the armrest of their seat, then the staff will quickly pick up the order and bring the food to them.

①Students at a primary school in California, with the help of their art teacher Jessica Martin created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.
②Most people agree that the last couple of years have been stressful. Ms. Martin thought her students just might have the magic words needed to bring calm to people. Along with artist Asherah Weiss and students from kindergarten (幼儿园) to sixth grade, she worked on a project they called “PepToc”. The project had two parts—one was the hotline and the other was creating encouraging posters. They had the same basic question for all the students: “What could you say to help or encourage someone else? ”
③Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she put them into different parts of the telephone hotline. It is available in English and Spanish. For example, pressing 1 brings up ideas for people who are “feeling mad or nervous.” Helpful suggestions include “hit your pillow (枕头),” or “______”. Pressing 2 results in “words of encouragement.” This includes messages like “The world is a better place with you in it.” Besides, it offers the happy voices of kids sharing positive (积极的) messages and the sounds of children laughing—a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
④Other students took part in making encouraging posters, which were put up around the town. Many posters had pieces of paper that people passing by could tear off (撕掉) and take with them. For example, one poster said “If you are mad, think of positive thoughts,” and had tear-off paper reminding people to “Be happy.”
⑤Ms. Martin thought the project would only draw interest from people near the school. But the hotline was soon getting hundreds of calls a day and then, thousands of calls an hour. Word of the hotline spread quickly on Internet. The hotline has become popular with stressed adults, patients in hospitals, older people in homes, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.

①An energy company in Sweden has started a project to heat up the city of Västeras using large underground caves (洞穴) full of warm water—like a huge hot water bottle under the streets.
②The energy company, Mälarenergi, will use large caves that already been there and can hold almost the same amount of water as 120 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Around 40 years ago the caves were used to hold large amounts of oil, in case it was needed for fuel (燃料). However, the caves were emptied in 1985 and they haven’t been used to store anything since then.
③Mälarenergi is cleaning the caves before it fills them with water, which will be heated up to 95℃ using heat from Mälarenergi’s nearby power station. The thick rock holds the heat and will keep the water warm even in winter. An instrument called a heat exchanger will warm the water and will turn the heat into another liquid (液体) when it is ready to be used. This liquid will then travel into people’s heater through the local heating network, which supplies warmth for 98% of the households in Västeras. The town is home to 130,000 people.
④The system should help the company to carry on providing heat for customers, even on really cold days when lots of people turn on the heating. The company hopes it will be a useful way to warm homes, with less waste, because it will be difficult for the heat to run away from underground.
⑤In Finland, a system like this is already in use, providing 25,000 homes with heat from underground caves. Some scientists think it could be used in the UK. About a quarter of the British population live above coal mines (煤矿) that are no longer used. Over the years, lots of these man-made caves have been covered in water and the natural warmth underground has kept the water at a temperature of around 15℃. The water could be warmed up even more by using a heat machine and sent to nearby houses to heat them. This method has already been used before in England.
27. What were the caves used for 40 years ago?A.Storing oil. | B.Heating water. | C.Holding heat. | D.Controlling temperature. |
①Clean the caves.
②Heat the water up to 95℃.
③Fill the caves with water.
④Send the liquid to people’s house.
⑤Turn the heat into another liquid.

A.By telling stories. | B.By listing numbers. | C.By giving examples. | D.By comparing opinions. |
A.An empty cave. | B.Energy from caves. |
C.Suggestions to use water. | D.An energy company in Sweden. |
阅读下面材料,从所给的A-F六个选项中选择正确的选项(其中一项是多余选项),将其序号填入小题。
Several months ago, New Zealand announced a plan. Under the plan, the country would make it illegal (非法的) for people born after 2008 to buy cigarettes (香烟).

No country has ever tried an age limit-raising smoking plan like New Zealand’s before.

B.They may feel sick if they don’t get more. |
