3.I culdn’t sleep at all last night, and my sister believes it was because I ate a bwl f really spicy (辛辣的) fd befre bedtime. Hwever, I was
skeptical abut the cnnectin between spicy fds and sleep. Can eating spicy fds befre bedtime truly impact ne’s sleep quality? Sme peple
believe that eating spicy fds befre bedtime can disrupt sleep by increasing bdy temperature and causing heartburn. It may be wrth aviding spicy
fds clse t bedtime.
T find ut the relatin, the researchers in Australia cnducted an experiment t investigate the effects f spicy fds n sleep. They prvided a
grup f individuals with delicius late-night meals, alternating (交替) between spicy and mild ptins. The results revealed that cnsuming spicy fds
led t disrupted sleep patterns, causing participants t take lnger t fall asleep and sleep fr shrter time. This data supprted the belief that there is a
crrelatin between eating spicy fds and experiencing sleep disturbances.
While the exact mechanism(机制)by which spicy fds influence sleep remains unclear, researchers have prpsed several pssibilities. One is that
stmach discmfrt resulting frm spicy fd cnsumptin may affect sleep quality. Additinally, the lng digestin (消化) f spicy fds culd delay the
start f sleep. Furthermre, spicy fds cntain smething that can raise bdy temperature, which has been linked t pr sleep in previus studies.

4.Scientists agree that predicting (预测) when and where an earthquake will ccur and hw big it will be is nt yet pssible. Therefre, much research
has fcused n cming up with ways t reduce the damage frm earthquakes, rather than trying t predict when they will ccur. Specifically, finding
mre infrmatin abut the place under the surface helps develpers and thers make safer chices when cnstructing a building. This is where
Navakanesh M Batmanathan is putting his effrts.
Batmanathan is an earthquake gelgist at the Natinal University f Malaysia. He is actively engaged in mapping the areas surrunding
earthquakes in Brne. Faults (断层) are places in the Earth’s crust (地壳) that are weak t sudden mvement between masses f rck, resulting in
ccasinal earthquakes. Batmanathan is wrking t map the faults, as well as the infrastructure (基础设施) in the area f the faults, t hpefully reduce
the ptential damage that can be caused by an earthquake. Develpers and engineers can use this knwledge t plan where it is safest t build and
where earthquake-resistant structures are needed.
Batmanathan is using a variety f tls t map faults. Wrking n the grund t map the area is just ne f the methds he emplys. He als uses
images frm satellites and grund-penetrating radar (GPR). GPR is a technlgy that creates an undergrund image withut digging. It has many
applicatins, frm finding the water level t understand sil and rck types fr cnstructin prjects. Batmanathan and thers are using this technlgy
t map faults, and the areas arund faults, t gain a clearer picture f ptential earthquake damage.
It might nt ever be pssible t knw exactly when r where an earthquake will happen, but Batmanathan hpes that his wrk will help educate
peple and better prepare them fr earthquakes.
【小题1】What is the functin f paragraph 1?
A．Prviding evidence.
B．Giving suggestins.
C．Intrducing the tpic.
D．Drawing a cnclusin.
【小题2】What is Batmanathan actively wrking n in Brne?
A．Studying vlcanes.
B．Recrding rivers.
D．Studying faults.
C．Predicting earthquakes.
【小题3】What d we knw abut GPR frm paragraph 3?
A．It can predict where an earthquake will happen.
B．It can be applied in mapping faults.
C．It can predict the time f earthquakes.
D．It can test the quality f the sil.
【小题4】What is the best title fr the text?
A．Mapping Faults fr Safer Cnstructin
B．Challenges in Predicting Earthquakes
C．The Future f Earthquake Predictin
D．Technlgy fr Reducing Earthquakes
