13.March 21has been declared World Sleep Day,a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep.Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.
According to a 2013poll(民意调查) by the National Sleep Foundation,nearly 4in 5Americans don't get as much sleep as they should during the workweek.On average,adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night,although some can manage with less and some won't do well without more.But the survey found that,on workdays,only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep,and another 21% get less than six.
To many of us,the thought of spending more time sleeping is,well,a big yawn.On the other hand,the thought of being smarter,thinner,healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal.And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep,researchers say.Also on the plus side:We're likely to have better skin,better memories,better judgment,and,oh,yes,longer lives.
"When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason,it influences your performance the next day,"says Dr.Alon Avidan,director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.
A study published last year found the same to be true even of children.When kids aged 8to 12slept for just one hour less for four nights,they didn't function as well during the day.
But sleeping has an image problem."We see napping or sleeping as lazy,"says Jennifer Vriend,a clinical psychologist in Ottawa,Canada,and the leading author of the study with children."We put so much emphasis on diet,nutrition and exercise.Sleep is in the back seat."In fact,she adds,no matter how much we work out,no matter how well we eat,we can't be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.

56.The underlined part in Paragraph 1meansC.
A.to wake up the sleepers
B.to serve as a morning call

B.Adults need at least eight hours'sleep a day.
C.Only one-forth of Americans have enough sleep.
D.One-fifth of American adults sleep less than children.
58.From Paragraph 3we can infer thatC.
A.being healthier is one of the advantages for us
B.sleeping has nothing to do with one's expectations
C.enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing things
D.spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time
59.What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies thatA.
A.people care little about sleeping
B.sleeping is an image problem
C.lazy people tend to sleep long
D.sleeping is only part of our life
60.What is the purpose of the passage?D
A.To talk about people's sleeping problems.
B.To provide an investigation result of sleeping.
C.To stress the function of sleeping at night.
D.To arouse the awareness of enough sleeping.

20.For a while,my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者).They were there all the time:early morning,noon,and evening.There were little old ladies in gray sweats,young couples in Adidas shoes,middle?aged men with red faces."Come on!"My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening."You'll feel great."
Well,I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day,anyone could.So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life,and not a day more.Based on my experience,jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around,and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army.I'm not alone in my opinion.
First of all,jogging is very hard on the body.Your legs and feet had a real pounding(追击) running down a road for two or three miles.I developed foot,leg,and back problems.Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging,and I had something else to worry about.Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people,but if you have any physical weaknesses,jogging will surely bring  them out,as they did with me.
Secondly,I got no enjoyment out of jogging.Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn't my idea of fun.Jogging is also a lonely pastime.Some joggers say,"I love being out there with just my thoughts."Well,my thoughts began to bore me,and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain?And that wasn't just the first week:it was practically every day for two months.I never got past the pain level,and pain isn't fun.What a cruel way to do it!So many other exercises,including walking,lead to almost the same results painlessly,so why jog?
I don't jog any more,and I don't think I ever will.I'm walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace,and that feels good.I bicycle to work when the weather is good.I'm getting exercise,and I'm enjoying it at the same time.I could never say the same for jogging,and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

56.From the first paragraph,we learn that in the writer's neighborhoodA.
A.jogging became very popular 
B.people jogged only during the daytime
C.Alex organized an army of joggers 
D.jogging provided a chance to get together
57.The underlined word"them"(Paragraph 3)most probably refers toD.
A.heart attacks 
B.back problems 
C.famous joggers 
D.physical weaknesses
58.What was the writer's attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A
A.He felt it was worth a try.
B.He was very fond of it.
C.He was strongly against it.
D.He thought it must be painful.
59.Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?B
A.He disliked doing exercise outside.
B.He found it neither healthy nor interesting.
C.He was afraid of having a heart attack.
D.He was worried about being left alone.
60.From the writer's experience,we can conclude thatA.
A.not everyone enjoys jogging
B.he is the only person who hates jogging
C.nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit
D.jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.
