Cats are animals of habit（习惯）. They like to go to sleep at about the same time every day and for a certain length of time. They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep.
Besides their regular sleep, cats take naps. Some scientists think that people should also take cat naps. The habit would do good to people's health. Cat naps help to build up energy in the body. Since cats have moods（情绪）like those of people, scientists believe that people can improve their moods and attitudes（态度）by catnapping. People might become happier and more active.

Al Herpin never slept. Could this be true? When the doctors heard about Al Herpin, they decided to see this strange man themselves.
Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They believed that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched him all the time.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D选项中，选出最佳选项。
I’ve written 14 movies. My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous doing it. Smoking was an integral（必需的） part of many of my screenplays because I was a heavy smoker. It was part of a bad-boy image I’d cultivated for a long time— smoking, drinking, partying, rock ’n’ roll.
Smoking, I once believed, was every person’s right. The second-hand smoke was non-existent problem invented by professional do-gooders. I put all these views into my plays.
Remembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myself. I have been an accomplice (帮凶) to the murders of untold numbers of human beings. I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with God. Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.
Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking. I am alive but disabled. Much of my larynx (喉) is gone. I have some difficulty speaking; others have some difficulty understanding me.
I haven’t smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for help. I believe in prayer and exercise. I have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one day. Quitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest lesson I’ve ever learned about my own weakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy(同感) for those still addicted.
I don’t think smoking is every person’s right anymore. I think smoking should be as illegal as heroin. I’m no longer such a bad boy. I go to church on Sunday. I’m desperate to see my four boys grow up. I want to do everything I can to undo the damage I have done with my own big-screen words and images.
Screen writers know, too, that some movie stars are more likely to play a part if they can smoke —because they are so addicted to smoking that they have difficulty stopping even during the shooting of a scene.
My hands are bloody; so are Hollywood’s. My cancer has caused me to attempt to cleanse me. I don’t wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others.

B. He will try his best to prevent others from writing screen plays encouraging smoking.
C. He will try his best to bring up his four children.
