6．All over my garden I've planted nothing but roses，sweet and-if looked at far away-bright with color like sunset clouds，I'd be very happy if anyone of my visiting friends should desire to pick and take some for their homes．I trust that any friend of mine carrying the rose would disappear into the distance feeling that his emotions had been rekindled （重燃）．
A close friend came for a visit the other day．I know her to be a lover of flowers and plants．And for that reason I told her at her departure that she should pick a bunch of roses to grace her bedroom．I promised that the smell of the roses would be  wafted  far，far away．
That girl friend of mine，tiptoeing into the garden in high spirits，smelt here and there，but in the end she didn't pick a single rose．I said there were so many of them that she would pick as many as she'd like to； I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn't make a living out of them．Saying so I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers，but she stopped me，crying no，no，no!
To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one，she said．With her hands seizing at my sleeves，she told me that by no means should they be cut．Roses are the smiling face of the earth，and who could be so iron-hearted as to destroy a smile so charming？
My mind was thoroughly shocked：the ugly earth，the rough earth，the plain earth-it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people．

5．Earlier and earlier，today's parents seek out every advantage for their child，from eating organic foods during pregnancy（怀孕）to breastfeeding to choosing a good name．
A new survey from Baby Center．com shows that most expectant （未来的） parents believe their baby name choice contributes to their child's future success in life，and they very much want to get it right．
Over 35，000parents from around the world responded to the survey．"Naming a child is an exciting milestone of new parenthood，so we were curious to understand what factors influence parents today，"says BabyCenter executive editor Linda Murray．The survey shows that 52percent of expectant parents believe the name they give their child contributes to his or her success in life．This is a significant change from the BabyCenter survey taken over five years ago，when just 40percent of expectant parents agreed with the statement．
Bellevue University professor Cleveland Evans says that the results may reflect a growing concern about financial security among parents．"Polls show that many Americans are worried about the economy，"Evans points out．As a result，parents may be more focused on questions of success when choosing a name than they were five years ago．
The survey also indicates that parents have become more egalitarian．Five years ago，just 60percent of expectant parents said each parents'opinion was equally important when choosing a name，but that number has increased to 84percent in the survey．"In addition to being in the delivery room and taking time off work for paternity leave（父亲假），this is one more way in which modern dads are participating more actively，"says Murray．
Results from the survey seem to indicate that fathers exert（施加） the most influence on boys'names．As Dad's opinion increases in importance，strength replaces individuality as the quality parents most want their son's name to convey．For girls'names，individuality remains the most important feature．

But the health benefits don't stop there．Bananas are packed with potassium，a mineral important to helping human hearts function correctly．Research also confirms that potassium helps control high blood pressure．A medical college in India found that eating two bananas a day lowered one's blood pressure by 10percent in one week!
This important mineral also aids in muscle movement and digestion and is good for kidneys．It can also help maintain bone strength．All this can be gained through one little fruit-the banana!

3．A team of US psychologists（心理学家）have found that talking to another person for 10minutes a day improves memory．
"Researchers discovered that socializing was just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in improving memory and intellectual（智力的）performance．"Oscar Ybarra，a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research，said in a statement．
In one investigation，they analyzed data on 3，610people，aged 24to 96．
They found that the higher their level of social interaction（交往），the better their cognitive（认知）functioning．Social interaction included getting together or having phone chats with relatives，friends and neighbors．
In another experiment，the researchers conducted lab tests on 76college students，aged 18to 21，to assess how social interactions and intellectual exercises affected the results of memory and mental performance tests．
The students were divided into three groups：The social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10minutes before taking the tests； the intellectual activities group completed three tasks （including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle） before the tests； and a control group watched a 10-minute clip of the Seinfeld television show．
"We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10minutes improved participants'intellectual performance as much as engaging in so-called‘intellectual'activities for the same amount of time，"Ybarra said．

1．Let's do some sleep math．You lost two hours of sleep every night last week because of a big project due on Friday．On Saturday and Sunday，you slept in，getting four extra hours．On Monday morning，you were feeling so bright-eyed that you only had one cup of coffee，instead of your usual two．But don't be cheated by your energy．You're still carrying around a heavy load of sleepiness，or what experts call"sleep debt"一in this case something like six hours，almost a full night's sleep．
Sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you should be getting and the amount you actually get．It's a shortage that grows every time we skim some extra minutes off our nightly sleep．"People get more sleep debt gradually without being noticed，"says William C．Dement，founder of the Stanford University Sleep Clinic．Studies show that such short term sleep lack leads to a foggy brain，worsened vision，and trouble remembering．Long-term effects include obesity（肥胖），insulin（胰岛素）resistance，and heart disease．A survey by the National Sleep Foundation reports that we're losing one hour of sleep each night--more than two full weeks of sleep every year．
The good news is that，like all debt，with some work，sleep debt can be repaid．Adding all extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to catch up．For the long-term lack of sleep，take it easy for a few months to get back into a natural sleep pattern．
Go to bed when you are tired，and allow your body to wake you in the morning（no alarm clock allowed）．You may find yourself catatonic（有紧张症的）in the beginning of the recovery cycle：expect to have ten hours shut-eye per night；As the days pass，however，the amount of sleeping time will gradually decrease．
So earn back that lost sleep and follow the rules of your innate（固有的）sleep needs．You'll feel better．"When you put away sleep debt，you become a superman，"says Stanford's Dement，talking about the improved mental and physical capabilities that come with being well rested．

A．put on weight B．get heart disease

A．in what case you build up a sleep debt
B．in what way you can make up for lack of sleep
C．why you are energetic even without enough sleep
D．why you need six hours'sleep every night
55．By saying the underlined sentence，Dement means thatB．
A．you need a lot of sleep to be a superman
B．you will be in a good state with enough sleep
C．you need to be a superman to repay sleep debt
