解答 71.the sleeping problem/lack of sleep,根据文章第一段With it,it also brings a lack of sleep.可知节日给我们带来的问题就是睡眠不足,下文提到的是如何解决这一问题,因此题目便是"如何处理睡眠问题/如何处理睡眠不足的问题".
72.hard work,根据短文第一句The festival season is on us again and like every year,we work hard in terms of cleaning,cooking,shopping,and so on for the season.可知节日带给我们繁重的工作,因此填hard work.
73.sleeping hours,根据文章We should always sleep for at least 6-8 hours 可知我们需要6-8小时的睡眠时间,因此填 sleeping hours.
74.have/get less (insufficient) sleep/sleep less (insufficiently),根据调查显示more women than men do not get enough sleep可知"比起男性更多的女性没有得到足够的睡眠",因此答案为"女性有更少的睡眠/女性的睡眠不足".
75.unhealthy/ineffective way,由短文第三段可知吃安眠药可能是无效的,或者不健康的,因此答案为"无效的/不健康的方法".
76.depend on/be dependent on,根据短文第三段Then there is a problem that they are dependent on sleeping tablets.可知人们会对安眠药产生一种依赖性.
77.switching off/turning off,根据第四段Keep the TV switched off.可知使用卧室和关掉电视是健康的方式,前面用动名词using,因此答案为switching off/turning off.
78.beneficial/of benefit,根据第五段Drinking some milk and listening to music will be beneficial.可知填形容词beneficial,也等于be+of benefit,表示"对…有益".
79.anxiety (levels),根据短文Don't do anything which may raise anxiety levels just before bed 可知此空填anxiety (levels).
