【4】E

【5】A

【解析】

【文章大意】这篇短文中作者主要介绍了午间小睡的重要性，也是人们最容易忽视的问题，即使没有充足的时间，一二十分钟的小睡也是很有帮助的。

【1】 开头一句Are you sometimes a little tired in the early afternoon?提出问题，第三句是部分人推测的原因，所以B项属于承上启下的一句，故选B。

【2】 前面两句是人们推测的两种原因，后面介绍的是体温的变化，所以在此通过however引出真正的原因是什么，故选D。

【3】 前面提到Now researchers are saying that naps are good for everyone at any time.后面又说如果人们经常小睡，那么心脏的问题会相应减少；由此可知C项We can take naps everywhere.符合前后相衔接的句子，故选C。

【4】后面的一句Though doctors may ask them to take naps, however, bosses don’t let them do it!点明了问题的核心所在，许多人没有时间及机会小睡，所以E＂But many working people have no time to take naps. ＂引出问题，故选E。

【5】根据空后的句子Even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.是有条件的策略，即A项If you do not have enough time, try a short nap.如果没有充足的时间，那么休息十多分钟也是很有帮助的，故选A。
