阅读下列短文，然后从每小题 A、B、C、D 中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

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（实验）where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar（相似的）sleeping pattern（模式）. 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 after- ward. 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.

16．Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon? 

A．Because it's very hot in summer.

B．Because you eat too much for lunch.

C．Because you didn't have a good sleep last night.

D．Because your body temperature goes down at that time.

17．What advice does the writer give on taking a nap? 

A．If your time is limited（有限的），a short nap can also help.

B．Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.

C．You'd better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.

D．You can sleep as long as you like so that you won't feel tired or sleepy.

18．What can we learn about"naps"according to the third paragraph?

A．Doctors need to take naps while employers（雇员）don't.

B．Taking naps is helpful for people's health in spring and summer.

C．If you take naps every day, you'll have less risk of heart disease.

D．All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.

19．What can we infer（推断）from the passage? 

A．You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.

B．Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.

C．If you get up at 6:30 am, you'd better take a nap at about 2:30 pm.

D．Sleeping for eight hours and you'll feel sleepy a short period later.

20．What would be the best title for the text? 

A．Just For a Rest. B．All For a Nap.

C．A Special Sleep Pattern. D．Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.

四、阅读表达（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，计 10 分）

阅读短文，根据题目要求完成各小题。

Look around when you're on a subway. What's the most popular time-killing activity? In China, many people play on their cell phones. But in other countries, many people enjoy reading. Chinese people read an average（平均）of 4. 5 books this year, according to a recent survey. While a US citizen（市民）reads 21 a year and a Japanese reads 17, according to UNESCO（联合国教科文组织）.

Reading books builds a bridge between our life and the unknown world. In many foreign countries, people read at any time. Even backpackers（背包客）enjoy reading books when they're on a break at the beach, or relaxing from a hike.

Many hotels abroad also offer the book exchange（交换）for visitors. Simply drop off your finished books and take those that others have left behind.

In most US middle schools, teachers give students a reading list every few weeks. Most books are easy to read, like youth novels. Some schools then hold competitions by asking students details（细节）of a book.

Good reading habits lead you to a lifelong love of books.

In order to encourage people to read more, China's planning to foster（鼓励）the habit of reading in its law. Although this has both good and bad sides, it can be seen as a way to develop one's reading habits. What can we do to foster good reading habits?

Read in short periods. Ten minutes on the way to and from school, 10 minutes waiting for friends, 15 minutes before going to sleep. That totals 45 minutes per day, a- bout five hours per week.

Make your own reading list. Your list can be the best-selling books on famous websites like The New York Times or Dangdang. com, or books your teacher recommends（推荐）.

    Talk about your reading with your family or friends.

51． As middle school students, it's very important for us to be independent. What should we do to make us independent?

First, let's begin with our own things. It's our job to clean our rooms and make our beds. Second, help with housework. We can help cook or clean the house in our free time. Doing housework teaches us how to look after ourselves. Third, learn actively. We should learn by ourselves and finish our homework on time. Finally, think about things by ourselves. We sometimes need to make plans or decisions alone. Don't always depend on orthers.

I think if we keep on doing these, we'll become more and more independent.
