[C]harmful [D costly
【答案与详解】A。该题为细节判断题。根据第一段第一句，“American society is not nap friendly”，此处的not nap friendly意为“不接受午睡，不支持午睡”。选项B“犯法的，犯罪的”；选项C“有害的”；选项D“昂贵的，代价高的”，均与上述表达不符。选项A“没道理的，讲不通”，所以选A。
2. The research done by the Dement Commission shows that Americans ____. [A]don't like to take naps
[B]are terribly worried about their national debt [C]sleep less than is good for them
[D]have caused many industrial and traffic accidents
【答案与详解】C。该题为细节判断题。根据第三段第一句，“Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an ?American sleep debt? which one member said was as important as the national debt.”，该委员会发现睡眠欠帐问题，美国人睡眠普遍比身体所需少。表达了上述含义，所以选C。
3. The purpose of this article is to ____. [A]warn us of the wickedness of napping [B]explain the danger of sleepiness [C]discuss the side effects of napping
[D]convince the reader of the necessity of napping
【答案与详解】D。该题为主旨题。从语篇角度分析，作者意在指出午睡是消除紧张，恢复精力的需要，而不仅仅是一种习惯。选项D“使读者相信午睡的必要性”为正确答案。
4. The \ [A]the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep [B]the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration [C]the rapid development of American industry [D]the Americans' worry about the danger of sleepiness
【答案与详解】A。该题为细节推理题。结合原文细节可以判断：选项B和D表达的内容与 American sleep debt毫不相干，应当排除。本文并未提及睡眠不足与工业发展的关系，因此C不对。作者在第一段和第二段指出了美国社会看待午睡的种种错误观念，第三段指出了美国人有睡眠欠帐，这两者之间有因果关系，所以选A。
5. The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is ____. [A]preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shift [B]good practice to eat something light before we go to bed [C]essential to make up for lost sleep
[D]natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it
【答案与详解】D。该题为细节判断题。原文句意为“在任何时候，在任何地方我们想睡就睡”。选项中只有D与该句意思接近。
Passage 2
It was a bright sunny afternoon. A middle-aged businessman, elegantly dressed, stood there under that green tent in the cemetery looking at an expensive casket that held the lifeless form of the lovely woman he had been married to for over 30 years. He would stare at the casket and occasionally touch it, and he would blink back the tears. The funeral service was over, but he could not leave. He could not walk away.
Family members and friends came and said, \now to go to the car.\loved her so much.., and once I almost told her!\
It's tragic to go through life and never feel love. It's a second tragedy to go through life loving someone and never getting around to telling them.
I hope that each of you will be a great success in your career, whatever it may be, but please don't lose your family and friends in the process. What's the good of gaining the whole world and lose your family and your friends?
One of the sad things in our society today is that many people have no real friends. Oh, they have acquaintances, buddies, co-workers, but no real friends, because they are scared to death of intimacy. Serious involvement is a trap, they think. It limits your options. Caring leaves you
vulnerable. Don't get too close to people, they say, because you may have to compete against them one day. Stay cool, stay in control, stay detached. Psychologist Herbert Hendin described it like this:
\years ago, detachment and inability to feel pleasure were considered signs of schizophrenia(精神分裂). Today, people believe that emotional involvement invites disaster and detachment offers the best means of survival.\
In our work, in our play, even in our love life, we want to be like machines (we even speak of being \people who live in a success-at-all cost world tend to see every person they meet as either a potential customer or as a potential rival, so they tend to give in to plastic emotion-afraid to feel, afraid to commit, afraid to be vulnerable, afraid to let other people into their lives, afraid to be intimate. The motto is, \
这是一个阳光明媚的下午。一个中年商人,穿着优雅的站在那里,在那绿色的帐篷在墓地看一个昂贵的棺材,举行了无生命的形式的可爱的女人他已经娶了30多年。他会盯着棺材,偶尔碰它,他会闪烁的泪水。葬礼服务已经结束,但是他不能离开。他不能走。
家人和朋友们赶来,说:“来吧,约翰,服务结束。现在是时候去的车。”约翰说,“我爱她那么多。她是我生命的快乐与力量。我爱她那么多?,一旦我几乎告诉她!”
这是悲惨的经历生活,从不感到爱。它的第二个悲剧一生去爱一个人,从不绕过来告诉他们。
我希望你们每个人都将是一个巨大的成功在你的职业生涯中,不管它是什么,但请不要失去你的家人和朋友在这个过程中。有什么好获得整个世界,失去你的家人和你的朋友吗?
伤心的事情之一在我们今天的社会,很多人没有真正的朋友。噢,他们有熟人、朋友、同事,但没有真正的朋友,因为他们是被吓死的亲密感。严重的参与是一个陷阱,他们认为。它限制了你的选择。关心让你脆弱的。不要太接近的人,他们说,因为你可能要与他们竞争一天。保持冷静,保持控制,保持分离。
心理学家赫伯特描述如下:
“二十年前,超然和无法感到快乐被认为精神分裂症的迹象(精神分裂)。今天,人们相信情感卷入邀请灾难和超然的生存提供了最好的手段。”
在我们的工作,在我们玩,甚至在我们的爱的生活,我们要像机器(我们甚至说“打开”),表演得冷淡,但并不在乎太深。你看,问题是,人生活在一个世界上成功的成本往往看到每个
人他们满足,可以是一个潜在的客户或作为一个潜在的竞争对手,所以他们往往屈服于塑料情绪害怕感,害怕承诺,害怕被脆弱,害怕让别人进入他们的生活,害怕被亲密。的座右铭是,“别让他们看到你流汗!”
