8．Long，long ago，a Frenchman traveled to a small Italian town．He was staying with his wife at the best hotel there．One night，he went out for （71）a walk alone．It was very late and the small street was dark and quiet．Suddenly he felt someone behind him．He turned his head and saw an Italian young man （72）who/that quickly walked past him．The man was nearly out of sight （73）when the Frenchman suddenly found his watch （74）gone（go）．He thought that it must be the Italian who had taken his watch．He decided to get back the watch．
Soon the Frenchman caught up （75）with the Italian，but （76）neither of them understood the other's language．The Frenchman frightened the Italian with his fist and （77）pointed （point） to the Italian's watch．In the end the Italian gave up his watch to the Frenchman．
As soon as he returned to the hotel，the Frenchman told his wife （78）what had happened．He was greatly （79）surprised（surprise） when his wife pointed to the watch on the table．Then he realized that he （80）had robbed（rob） the Italian's watch by mistake．

7．I love sleeping．It's something I'm good at．There's nothing better than nodding off on the sofa in front of the TV and when my head hits the pillow at night，I have no problem falling into a deep sleep within minutes．There is one place where I never nap（打盹）and that's at work-but new research suggests I should!
The idea of you and your colleagues heading off for a lie down in the afternoon may seem strange，but some companies such as Google and Facebook actually encourage it．
Because it's thought that a power-nap makes them more refreshed and more focused，and this in turn makes them more productive．
An Australian health writer called Victoria is a founder of a campaign called Nap Now which is trying to make sleeping at work more acceptable．She calls herself a"naptivist"!She says："I think that our culture is a bit crazy not to accept it…it's time to end the common work principle which is all about working longer and harder．"
So should we all be taking a sleeping bag and pillow to work with us？A few years ago，research by the East of England Development Agency found 30% of people have their best ideas in bed compared to just 11% who have them at their desk．That suggests people are more creative when they are relaxed-and the agency has called for companies to put beds in the workplace．
A nap in the afternoon is nothing new．In certain hot countries，such as Spain，a short rest or sleep in the afternoon-called a siesta-is perfectly normal．So maybe we should break from the traditional nine-to-five work culture and take up the siesta．The UK's Sleep Council claims that the nine-to-five working day does not fit into the natural sleeping pattern of the human race and says that bosses need to introduce a more sleep-friendly working day．
59．Why are the employees of Google allowed to take a nap in the afternoon in the workplace？A
A．They are expected to work better．
B．They can't focus their attention on the work．
C．They are running the Nap Now campaign．
D．They have difficulty in falling asleep at night．
60．The underlined word"naptivist"in Paragraph 3probably refers to someone whoB．

B．It has been taken up in Finland．
C．It is sort of traditional work culture．
D．It fits into the natural sleeping pattern．

3．On a typical school night，Jilly Dos Santos was lucky if she got six hours of sleep．Even when she finished her homework early，she often didn't feel tired enough to fall asleep．So when her school board planned to change her high school's start time from 7：50a．m．to 7：20a．m．-a full half hour earlier-she was outraged．"I thought it was the worst idea I'd ever heard，"she says．
Fired up，Jilly used social media to encourage other students to join her in speaking up at the next school board meeting，and she started an online petition （请愿），which got 200-plus signatures．Then，with the help of another student，she put up more than 100posters on school walls and emailed teachers to spread the word．The fight was on!
The good news is that Jilly wasn't alone-once she started her fight，she became part of a growing movement demanding to start school later．Now，about 43percent of public high schools in the U．S．start school before 8a．m．，which is earlier than at most workplaces．One big reason schools have historically preferred early start times：They allow outdoor athletic teams to practice after school while the sun is still out．
As she prepared for the school board meeting，Jilly learned all of the ways that more sleep makes for better students．At the school board meeting，Jilly shared what she had learned．"My heart beat so fat，"she admits．But her schoolmates gave her confidence．"About 30students came to support me．"
Armed with facts，Jilly explained her case convincingly．"The school board liked how I didn't get emotional and just provided evidence．When I presented，I kept thinking，‘If this were a class，what would get me an A？'instead of‘How loud can I yell？'"
All of that hard work paid off．The school board decided that instead of making Jilly's high school's start time earlier，they would change the bus schedule and make the start time even later，at 8：55a．m．

2．For years，experts have been encouraging people to exercise，using steps as simple as taking the stairs instead of a lift and walking to work，where possible．A recent study bolsters this advice---it shows that frequent active exercise throughout the day can have great health benefits．
The study，published in the magazine Preventive Medicine，found that just 2minutes of stair-climbing several times a day can lower total cholesterol（胆固醇），raise HDL （"good"） cholesterol and improve the heartbeat in young women who do not have much activity during the day．"such improvements may have important effects on the health of women，since，like cigarette smoking，poor fitness have been shown to be a high risk for heart disease and death in women，"said Dr．Colin Boreham with the University of Ulster in Belfast，Ireland and the fellow researchers of this study group．Furthermore，improvements in total cholesterol levels achieved in the study could cut the rate of heart disease in women by a third，they noted．
The team of researchers from Britain studied 12women between 18-22years old，before and after the exercise program．The women used a public staircase for about 2minutes a day for 5days a week．Compared with a group of 10women who did not take part in the stair-climbing program，the women who climbed stairs showed marked improvements in health and fitness levels after 7weeks．However，they did not show any signs of weight loss．"A short-term stair-climbing program can give great health benefits to young women．Stair-climbing may be a particularly suitable way of combining exercise with an individual's daily lifestyle，"they pointed out．
Experts advise visiting your doctor before beginning a new exercise program．
