Do you know the word kiasu? If not, then be kiasu and google it. You’ll get more than a million hits and learn that, usually associated (联系) with Singaporeans, it means “to be afraid of losing out”. You’ll come across words such as kiasu parents, kiasu companies and even kiasu apps.

Just 40 years ago, the word first spread among men in the Singapore army. But before long, it had entered everyday Singapore English.

The first formal use of kiasu happened in 1990 in a government document (公文). Since then it has often been seen in Singapore newspapers. It spread to some other countries in southeast Asia, too. In 1992, Malaysia’s New Straits Times wrote of “kiasu parents providing their children with much more materials than necessary”.

Ten years after its first use in print, the word was used worldwide. Since around 2000, kiasu has appeared in British newspapers. The Guardian, in 2001,reported how “this pursuit of material wealth and the strong need to be No.1 has created the Singaporean we hear so much about---the kiasu Singaporean”, and again reported in 2004 that Singaporeans’ value shows how much they feel the need to stay ahead of everyone else and that they have a word for it: kiasu.

The word entered the Urban Dictionary in 2003 and the Oxford English Dictionary in 2007.In the the same year, Singaporean restaurant Kiasu opened in London.

The turning point on kiasu’s road to the mainstream came with its being used in documents and newspapers. Who dared to use kiasu in a government document? Who first used it in a newspaper? It was these people who pushed kiasu into the mainstream.

A long time ago, there was an old, poor fisherman who could not catch enough fish for him and his family to eat. One day, when he pulled in his fishing net, he found a bottle inside that looked valuable. 1. But he was also curious to see what was inside, so he took the top off the bottle. Smoke came out of the bottle and then out came a big, powerful genie.?

2. At first, he told the fisherman that he would kill him and that the fisherman had to choose how he wanted to die. Scared, the fisherman decided to trick the genie. He told him that he did not believe he could fit inside the little bottle because he was so much bigger than it was. 3.The fisherman told the genie that he had tricked him and then said he would only let the genie out again if the genie promised to help him instead of hurting him.

4. The genie then took the fisherman to a lake where there were many special fish. The fisherman caught four of these fish and the genie told him to take these fish to the king. The fish were special because they could talk! 5. The king was very impressed (印象深刻的) by this and he paid the fisherman a lot of money for the fish.?

C. They could answer any questions that someone might have.

D. He thought he could sell the bottle and make some money.

E. The genie promised to do so and the fisherman released him.

Studies have shown that a good night's rest helps us stay healthy, both mentally ( 精神上) and physically. Dr. Michael Twery, an expert(专家) on the science of sleep and sleep disorders, says,"Getting a good night's sleep is important for learning because it stores the training and learning exercises into our long-term memory while we're sleeping 7 to 8 hours. And then the next morning, our mind is better prepared to perform. "

But what about getting some rest during the middle of the day? Does napping (sleeping for a short time) also help our brain work better? If it is really helpful, then how long can a proper nap last?

Napping can help babies and young children learn better. Also, it can stop older people suffering (遭受) from memory loss. Some people have sleep problems at night, so they nap during the day as a way of paying off a sleep debt. They hope napping may make them feel less tired and sleepy during the day.

In America, it is a shame for people to admit (承认) that they do take a nap. They suppose napping shows they are weak or short of energy. That only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap is a widely-accepted opinion. However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms, and napping cafes are appearing in many U. S. cities.

Unlike America, napping is part of a normal, everyday life in other parts of the world. For example, China is generally considered as a land of nappers. Researchers found nearly 60 percent of old Chinese people took a nap after lunch and most of them napped for about an hour. The study found that people who took an hour-long nap did much better on mental tests than those who did not nap or who napped for longer periods. It seems that the most helpful nap lasted for about an hour.

But Dr. Michael Twery mentions that an hour-long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. "We're suggesting that we try to nap for about 30 minutes or less. And 30 minutes is enough to help us feel more awake. " He also found that someone who naps because of bad sleep at previous night may not experience the same improvements from napping as a healthy, well-rested person would. So, the right thing to do is to get enough sleep at night and take a proper nap for about 30 minutes. But remember not to take a nap later than 3:00 in the afternoon, which may cause a sleep problem.

1.According to the passage, Dr. Michael Twery probably agrees that

A. napping only helps the healthy, well-rested people improve their brain performance

B. napping shows people are very sick and lazy in some countries

C. people had better take a nap before 3:00 in the afternoon

D. young, healthy adults should nap longer than older people

2.The words "paying off a sleep debt" probably mean

A. having some sleep during the work

B. making up for shortness of sleep

C. trying to sleep for longer hours

D. improving the sleep quality

3.What can we know from the passage?

A. Only the one-hour napper group finished their mental test.

B. China has the most young nappers in the whole world.

C. People should be better prepared to get a good nap.

D. More and more Americans are accepting napping.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. Napping: Can It Solve Sleeping Problems?

B. Napping: How Can A Proper Nap Help?

C. Napping: Do You Really Need It?

D. Napping: flow Long Is Too Long?
