Tricks to Learn from Super Sleepers

Do you want to sleep soundly each night and wake up energized the next day? Here’s a peek at some smart,surprising habits of great sleepers.

Exercise early.

Morning fitness class or gym time before work?Go ahead,give it a try.【1】While experts aren’t exactly sure why,it could have something to do with morning exercise’s ability to help regulate the secretion(分泌物) of certain hormones involved in blood pressure management, which may lead to better sleep.

Eat light at night.

Desiring a midnight snack? If your stomach starts rumbling(发出咕噜声) before bed, try reaching for good-for-you foods that actually promote sleep, like walnuts, tart cherries, or Greek yogurt instead. 【2】Eating too much of anything within a few hours of going to bed could suppress(抑制) your body’s ability to produce sleep-promoting melatonin.

Power down at night.

Smart phones, tablets, and laptops let you do everything from shopping to watching movies to working in bed.What they don’t let you do?Fall asleep. 【3】In addition to reducing your blue light exposure,you’ll probably feel less stressed,which in itself can help you sleep better.

Keep their rooms chilly.

【4】But being too warm can make it harder to have quality sleep, say experts at the National Sleep Foundation. Instead, they recommend keeping your bedroom at around 20℃,which research suggests is the most suitable temperature for great sleep.

【5】.

Consistency is key to healthy sleep.Though it’s tempting to stay up late,then get up early for work and sleep in on the weekend,doing so can cause damage to your body’s internal clock.Over time,that can make it harder to fall asleep,not to mention making it more unpleasant to wake up in the morning.

A.The idea of a comfortable bedroom and piles of soft, fuzzy blankets is very appealing.

B.Find ways to cope with stress.

C.Go to bed at the same time every night.

D.Still,try not to go overboard even with healthy stuff.

E.You don’t have to give up alcohol altogether in the name of better sleep.

F.Working out in the morning could lead to better sleep than afternoon or evening sweat sessions.

G.Put your devices away at night—ideally,two to three hours before you plan to go to sleep.

【答案】

【1】F

【2】D

【3】G

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

试题分析:本文属于说明文阅读,介绍了获得健康睡眠的五个建议。

【1】F 本段的标题是Exercise early早锻炼。根据横线后句...... certain hormones involved in blood pressure management, which may lead to better sleep.可知早锻炼会让人体分泌出一些荷尔蒙,让我们睡得更好。也就是说早锻炼可以让我们中午或晚上睡得更好。选项中只有F项是早锻炼的好处有关,故F项符合上下文串联。

【2】D 根据横线后句Eating too much of anything within a few hours of going to bed could suppress(抑制) your body’s ability to produce sleep-promoting melatonin.可知吃得太多会抑制身体中分泌出的促进睡眠的物质。也就是说作者建议我们晚上不要吃太多。所以D项“Still, try not to go overboard even with healthy stuff.”符合上下文串联。

【3】G 根据横线前句What they don’t let you do? Fall asleep.可知手机、电话、电脑这些电器设备会让你没有想睡觉的欲望。所以在晚上,不要玩这项电子设备,因为它们对睡眠有非常不好的影响。故G项“Put your devices away at night—ideally, two to three hours before you plan to go to sleep.”正确。

【4】A 本段的标题是Keep their rooms chilly让我们的房间适合睡眠,所以横线句应该介绍适合睡觉的房间的布置。故A项“The idea of a comfortable bedroom and piles of soft, fuzzy blankets is very appealing.”符合上下文串联。

【5】C 根据本段第一句Consistency is key to healthy sleep.一致性是健康睡眠的关键。也就是说要在固定的时间入睡,这对我们的健康有很大的好处。所以C项“Go to bed at the same time every night.”与本段的中心思想一致。

【题目】Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?

Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.

Don’t let other people set goal for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings(翅膀).

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.

Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them bck. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项

New research shows that kids from low-income families may be falling behind their peers because an important part of their brains is underdeveloped.

Researchers from MIT’ s McGovern Institute for Brain Research compared the brains of 12-and 13-year-olds from rich families with the brains of their peers from lower-income families. They found that one particular area of the brain—the neocortex(新皮质),which plays a key role in memory and learning ability—is thinner in children from lower-income households.

This is a crucial part of the brain for young students, who are often tested based on their ability to recall large chunks of information. Children who had a thinner neocortex performed poorly on standardized tests,researchers found.More than 90% of high-income students scored above average on a statewide math and English/Language Arts standardized test,compared with less than 60% of low-income students.Differences in cortical(脑皮层) thickness could account for almost half of the income-achievement gap in this sample,researchers wrote.

“Just as you would expect, there’ s a real cost not living in a supportive environment. We can see it not only in test scores,in educational attainment,but within the brains of these children,”says psychological scientist John Gabrieli,a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at MIT and one of the study’s authors.

Since a 2011 study published by Stanford University professor Sean Reardon found that the gap between standardized test scores of high-income and low-income students has grown by about 40% since the 1960s,there’ s been a lot of research aimed at finding links between income and achievement, rather than race alone. The MIT study found low-income children were equally likely to have a thinner neocortex,no matter their races.

Gabrieli and his co-authors can’ t say exactly why poor children’ s brains develop differently because there are too many possibilities to count.Their findings do,however,underline the importance of early intervention(干预) to ensure that low-income kids get the tools they need to succeed.

【1】What’ s the function of the first paragraph?

A. To list some findings.

B. To give some advice.

C. To do some comparisons.

D. To show the main idea of the text.

【2】What does the underlined word “crucial” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Special. B. Important.

C. Separate. D. Unknown.

【3】What John Gabrieli says in Paragraph 4 mainly shows the importance of    .

A. cognitive ability

B. educational attainment

C. having developed brains

D. living in supportive surroundings

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Wealthy parents do better in raising children.

B.Differences exist between poor children and rich ones.

C.Poor children study harder due to their financial conditions.

D.Poor children have thinner neocortex than their wealthy peers.

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

●Does failure really exist?

If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. 【1】 The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.

2

Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don’t do that! 3 Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.

●Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.

It’s a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control. 4 If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.

●Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.

Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. 5 You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.

A. Never give up on yourself.

B. Failure only exists in your own mind!

C. That’s exctly how failure makes us feel.

D. It simply means you have not done enough yet.

E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.

F. Instead, make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!

G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.
