Feeling sleepy in the middle f the day? There are many reasns why we get sleepy in the afternn. Bad lighting, a pr night’s sleep, a bring jb, large (carb-heavy) lunches, and mre can all cntribute t head-bbbing at yur desk r falling int a light sleep during a meeting. The best curse f actin wuld be t find the rt cause f yur sleep issue and fix it, but mst f us simply head fr the cffee pt r the cafe. Instead f that, try climbing sme stairs.
Well, nw exercise researchers have discvered that walking up and dwn lights f stairs fr abut 10 minutes actually gives yu a mre effective bst (提高) f energy than drinking 50 milligrams f caffeine greedily (the average amunt f caffeine fund in a cup f cffee, tea, r sda).
In a study called Stair walking, the researchers enlisted 18 “physically active” cllege wmen between the ages 18 and 23. The participants reprted experiencing chrnically pr sleep, adding up t an average f fewer than 45 hurs f shuteye each week in the past few years. And they are ften a lack f available time during the wrkday fr a dedicated exercise sessin.
The researchers chse stair climbing as the exercise f chice. Walking up and dwn the stairs requires n specific clthing, travel time, r even a shwer afterward. During the study, n sme days the participants alternated (交替) between taking 50-milligram caffeine pills r a placeb. On the ther days, they skipped the caffeine (real r therwise) and climbed up and dwn the stairs, at a mderate pace, fr 10 minutes.
At the cnclusin f the study, the researchers acknwledged that there is mre research t be dne (when isn’t that the case?) but cncluded that “A shrt perid f lw-t-mderate intensity stair walking has temprary energizing effects that exceed a lw dse f caffeine fr active yung wmen with chrnic insufficient sleep.”
S, the next time yu find yurself ndding ff mid-afternn, why nt give stairs a try?
24．What is the main purpse f paragraph 1?

Its Kasbah, with its red and brwn mud huses and narrw streets, is ne f these lcatins. It’s been chsen by many US and British mvie makers as a lcatin fr big-budget films such as Gladiatrs and Kingdm f Heaven.
The cinema has brught a lt t Ouarzazate, whse peple may wrk as technicians, sund engineers r decratrs, but they are mainly given unimprtant rles as extras.

Thse with experience earn mre; they get abut $24 per day r as much as $60. Inexperienced Eurpean extras, n the ther hand, get abut $40 per day. This has led t cmplaints f discriminatin by sme Ouarzazate peple.

C．She’s left shw business.D．She has been frgetful.
29．What des Azzedine d when there’s n mvie wrk?
