9.A Good Night's SleepSleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life.While you're sleeping,your brain is forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information.Although we all know the importance of getting a good night's sleep,not all of us know the best way of getting it.A sleep expert,Phil Atherton,gave some top tips for getting the most out of the night,which will leave you ready for action in the morning.
According to Phil Atherton,not eating a large meal before bedtime is important for getting a good night's sleep.The time difference between eating and sleeping should be at least three hours.So you'd better avoid eating any food three hours before bed,as it will lower your blood sugar during sleep and help minimize damage from too much sugar floating around.
It's also important to find ways to prepare your body for sleep.You can follow a routine like trying not to expose yourself to too much artificial light within 1hour before bed,as your brain uses light to help set internal"body clock".Although it might seem unnatural to schedule your sleep,the purpose is to send a signal to your body and mind that it's time to sleep.
Another way to prepare your body for sleep is to get into a relaxed state by taking a bath or listening to soft music.Both of them will help to take the mind off the daytime pressures.
Having a suitable bed,especially a suitable mattress (床垫),is necessary for a good night's sleep.Sleep is a personalized activity,and we all adopt different sleeping positions.Finding the mattress that suits you will reduce back pains that can result from a poor sleeping position.The bed should be four to six inches longer than its tallest user,allowing for space to move
around.
The recent research is pretty clear that a good night's sleep is a major component of good health.Since the start of the 21st century,studies have linked a lack of sleep to many diseases,such as diabetes and obesity.Taking action now will lead to long-term benefits for you and those around you.

分析 本文强调了睡眠跟健康生活的密切关系,以及如何提高睡眠质量提出了几点建议.
解答 28.C 主旨大意题.根据第一段Although we all know the importance of getting a good night's sleep…A sleep expert,Phil Atherton,gave some top tips for getting the most out of the night(尽管我们都知道得到一晚上好睡眠的重要性…一位睡眠专家Phil Atherton给了一些很好的建议,告诉我们如何在晚上休息好)以及下文内容可知,这里是介绍了几种如何睡个好觉的建议,故选C.
29.D 细节理解题.根据第四段第一句Another way to prepare your body for sleep is to get into a relaxed state by taking a bath…可知,另一个让自己的身体为睡眠做好准备的方法是通过洗个澡或听轻音乐来进入到放松状态,即睡前最好让自己从紧张状态中放松下来,故选D.其他选项表述不准确.
30.D 推理判断题."it"所在句的句意:所以你最好避免在睡前3小时吃任何东西,因为这会降低你睡眠时的血糖…所以这里it不是说睡前吃东西,而是说avoid eating any food three hours before bed(睡前三小时不要吃任何食物),故选D.
31 C 篇章结构题.根据首段的最后一句可知第一段是中心论点,为总起段落.而最后一段的第一句话又提示末段是结论.所以该文采用了"总--分--总"式结构.而文章的第三段首句是It's also important to find ways to prepare your body for sleep.以及第四段首句Another way to prepare your body for sleep is to…可以判断三、四两段为一个中心意思,讲的是两种不同的让身体准备好睡眠的方法,所以答案应该选C.
