Jackie Reid was 18when she started work in 1953-when the National Health Service （NHS） was just five years old-and is believed to be the oldest nurse in Britain．
The diabetes（糖尿病） specialist had to retire at 65but returned as a nurse within two weeks and still does up to four seven-and-a-half hour shifts（轮班）each week．
Mrs．Reid said，"Nursing is hard if you do it correctly but I love my job．Working for the NHS has been my life．I have no other hobbies because I have worked all my life．"

Jackie believes nursing should be protected from government cuts．She said，"There're lots of things I would say to the government．If you are going to get good care you have to have the resources，you can't do it without enough money．They shouldn't need the cuts that there are in the NHS．It's hard now because there's a shortage of staff．"
Jackie has lived alone in Grays，Essex，since her husband died three years ago．
'The couple have two daughters Michelle，50，and Karen，54．
Jackie added，"My youngest daughter worries about me-she doesn't think I should work as much as I do．I constantly say"don't worry about me，I'm fine'，but she never believes me．I don't like the thought of giving it up and will try to keep going forever．"

6．A new report says promising children money to pass exams does not help exam grades．The report says parents could be wasting their money by using cash to get their kids to study more．However，the promise of a trip somewhere nice could encourage students to try harder and do better at school．Researchers from the University of Bristol （in England） and the University of Chicago （in the USA） looked at how promises of cash and tickets to events affected students'studying and learning．Over 10，000pupils took part in the research throughout the year 2012．There was an improvement in classwork and homework，but this did not result in better test scores．
Lead researcher Dr Simon Burgess suggested the research looked at the wrong areas．He said it had not looked at the things that really got students to increase their effort．He added that："Clearly，some pupils have a lot of goals and believe that education is a way of getting what they want out of life，but there are kids who think that working hard doesn't make a difference．"He said these children think exam success is"all in your genes"because of their family background．Education expert Dr Kevan Collins said good teachers were better than promises of rewards to get children to study，especially for children from low-income families．He wrote："What really makes the difference is how students are taught．"

One afternoon in December 1982，when I was getting ready for Christmas，I suddenly decided to buy two dolls，one for my five-year-old daughter，Katie，and one for my old mother．
Things went smoothly when a friend told me that his dad，who played Santa Claus in my area，would be willing to make a visit on Christmas morning to our home with the gifts!Knowing that my parents would also come to my house，I began to get ready for the most memorable day of my mother's life．
Christmas Day arrived and so did Santa Claus at the planned time．Katie was very excited and happy all the time to welcome the Santa．My mother was enjoying watching Katie welcoming this special guest．As Santa turned to leave he looked again into his bag and took out one more gift．As he asked who Alice was，my mother，without thinking of her name being called，said that she in fact was Alice．Santa handed her the gift with a message card that read：
For Alice：
I was cleaning out my sleigh （雪橇） before my trip this year and came across this package that should be sent on December 25，1925．The gift inside has aged，but I felt that you might still wish to have it．Many apologies for the lateness of the gift．
Love，

2．Ceaseless technology．A punishing workweek．That to-do list that keeps multiplying．It is no wonder many of us find it difficult to have a sufficient amount of sleep．But will sleeping more on the weekend make up for hours of lost snoozing （小睡）？One sleep expert，W．Christopher Winter raised the question．
Sleeping binge
Getting eight hours of shut-eye each night is generally recommended，but many people don't．As the week rolls from Monday to Friday，they accumulate a sleep debt．Spending a few extra hours in bed on a Saturday morning，people assume，will help them"catch up"on lost sleep．They're likely right，"Nobody knows how long the horizon is，probably a few nights，but studies show that recovery sleep in the short term does work，"says Dr．Winter，a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine．
Sleep banking
Recent data suggests that banking sleep in advance of a long night can actually offset （补偿） upcoming sleep deprivation（丧失）．If you knew you were going to have to stay up all night on a particular day，for example，you could sleep for 10hours a day for multiple days before the event，and be fine，Dr．Winter says．Just plan ahead．
Routine （惯例的）naps
A scheduled nap is healthier than catching up on or banking sleep．"Because sleep extension can make you feel groggy （昏昏沉沉），I always recommend a short nap[if a person feels they need it]，at the same time，every day，"says Dr．Winter．He adds that 25minutes is ideal．"When you schedule a short nap，your body anticipates it and slows down，without falling into a deep dream sleep，"he says．That refreshing，scheduled break is better than an occasional weekend lie-in．"The body likes routine，"he says，"When it's prepared，it works more efficiently．"
41．From Monday to Friday，many peopleA．
A．accumulate a sleep debt
B．have no time to sleep
C．work hard to achieve their goals
D．have to stay up all nights
42．Research shows that in the short termC．
A．a nap have no effect on work
B．a nap have effect on work
C．recovery sleep does work
D．recovery sleep doesn't work

A．he keeps taking a nap for a week
B．he sleeps for 8hours a day for days
C．he keeps sleeping for 2days
D．he banks sleep in advance
44．What is better than banking sleep，according to Dr．Winter？C
A．Sleeping binge
B．Recovery sleep
C．Scheduled naps
D．Sleep extension
45．What would be the best title for the passage？A
A．Sleep Matters
