Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】G

【3】A

【4】E

【5】D

【解析】

试题分析：本文主要介绍的是与失眠作斗争的方法。

【1】F。根据前文What works for some might not work as well for others，对一些人有效的方法不一定对其他人也有效，所以应该找到适合自己入眠的方法。故选F。

【2】G。根据前文Set a regular bedtime. Go to bed at the same time every night.制定一个有规律的睡眠时间，每晚在相同的时刻入睡。因此接下来说选择一个自己感到疲倦的时刻，因此能够容易入睡。故选G。

【3】A。根据后文If you’re getting enough sleep, you should wake up on time naturally without an alarm.如果你得到了足够的睡眠，你应该不需要闹钟就可以按时自然醒来。故前面应该说，每天在相同的时间醒来。故选A。

【4】E。根据前文While taking a nap can be a great way to recharge, especially for older adults, it can make insomnia（失眠）worse.小睡是一个养精蓄锐的好方式，尤其对于老年人，它能使失眠减缓。后文应该说，但是如果失眠对你来说是一个问题的话，那么应该考虑放弃小睡了。故选E。

【5】D。根据前文的问句What should you do when getting sleepy before your bedtime?在你睡觉时间之前，如果感到疲倦的话，应该如何？可知下文应该说的是减少倦意的方式，故D符合。
