Tim Becker and his neighbours are doing some?thing to make their neighbourhood a trouble-free area.

  When Tim Becker gets in his car to go shopping,he doesn't 4      drive to a store and back home. He always looks 5        up and down the streets of his neighbourhood. He looks for anything 6        such as strange cars,loud noises,7       windows,or people gathering on street corners.

  Tim 8        to a neighbourhood watch group in Stoneville,Indiana <, USA. The neighbourhood watch group 9        on the third Wednesday of every month. That's 10        Tim gets together with about ten of his neighbours to discuss community 11      . Members of the neighbourhood watch group want to help the police 12        their streets and families safe.

  Tina Stedman,president of 13        neighbourhood watch group,agrees with Tim. "People seem to think that crime (犯罪) happens to other people but not

14 them.

" We 18     each other's homes. We keep watch on the neighbour?hood at night and on weekends. Usually a 19      of four or five of us go out together.

  Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or,in summer,they may think it is the heat. However,the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time―about eight hours after you wake up― your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.

  In many parts of the world,people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates,where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are tradi?tional,people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.

  Many working people,unfortunately,have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps,employers do not allow it!If you do have the chance,however,here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterwards. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time,try a short nap―even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

1. Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?

   A. They eat too much for lunch.

   C. Their body temperature becomes lower.

   D. The weather becomes warmer.

   B. About 1 ：30 pm,

   D. About 3： 30 pm.

3. What would be the best title for the text?

  I just had one of the most interesting experiences of my life,and wanted to share it with my dearest friends.

  One cold evening,I drove home and was stuck in a traffic jam,when my car started to die. I managed to coast into a gas station in order not to get in others' way. Before I made the call to ask for help,I found a crying woman. T walked towards her and asked her if she needed help. She said she was driving to California and that things were very hard for her right now.

  I helped her fill up her car completely,walked to the McDonald's and bought 2 big bags of food,some gifts and a big cup of coffee. She gave the food to the kids in the car. They ate them quickly. And we stood eating fries and talking a little.

  She told me her name,and that she lived in Kansas City. Her husband left 2 months ago and she was not able to support her family. So she went to California to find her parents. She packed up everything she owned in the car. She told the kids they were going to Califor?nia for Christmas,but not that they were going to live there.

  I gave her my gloves,a little hug and said a quick prayer (祈祷) with her for safety on the road. As I was walking over to my car,she said, "So,are you like an angel or something?"

  It was so incredible (不可思议的) to be part of someone else's miracle (奇迹) .And of course,you guessed it,when I got in my car it started right away and got me home with no problem.
