B
Two experts did some experiments on two groups of people — one who tended to sleep less than the
people around them and the other group more.
According to their report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men automatically began to cut down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.
In general, these “short sleepers” appeared with ambition, active, energetic, cheerful, and conformist (不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or even worked full time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “acceptable” or “outstanding” to their friends and associates.
When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering them. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.
The experts also stated that those “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. They reported that those men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were a bit concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than the “short sleepers did.
Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly express it that being asleep was a good escape from their daily problems.
All in all, proper time of sleeping should be admired, not too long, neither too short.
According to the report, ______.
A. many “short sleepers” need less sleep just by nature
B. many “short sleepers” are obliged to reduce sleep time by work
C. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day
D. many “long sleepers” formed sleeping habit during childhood
Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that ______.
A. sleep is a very efficient escape from the reality
B. sleep is just an item which should be denied by them
C. sleep might be a disturbing thing for their daily business
D. sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles
It is stated in the forth paragraph that “short sleepers” ______.
A. are ideally energetic under the pressures of life
B. often ignore the ill effect of not enough sleep
C. do not know how to relax themselves properly
D. are more unlikely to run into mental problems
Which of the following is nearest to the meaning of “… were a bit concerned ” in the fifth Para?
A. appeared troubled B. became energetic
C. felt dissatisfied D. were much depressed
Which of the following is NOT correct according to the passage?
A. If one sleeps improperly, his performance suffers and his memory is weakened
B. The sleep patterns of short sleepers are the same as those shown by “long sleepers”
C. Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleep
D. Short sleepers may have been better off if they have more rest

Xinhua Sept.25,2008
JIUQUAN, Gansu---China launched successfully its third manned spacecraft on Thursday with three astronauts on board to attempt the country’s first-ever space walk.
The spaceship Shenzhou VII blasted off(发射) on a Long March II-F carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwestern Gansu Province at 9:10pm.after a breathtaking countdown to another milestone on China’s space journey.
On board pilots Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng are expected to orbit the earth for three days, when one of them will float out of the cabin about 343 kilometers above the earth.
When they make it, China will become the third country in the world who is able to conduct extravehicular activity (EVA) in space following the former Soviet Union and the United States.
President Hu Jintao watched the historic moment at the launch center, joined by Chinese experts and other work staff.
Hu briefly met the trio astronauts before they entered the spacecraft Thursday afternoon, wishing them “a complete success in this glorious and sacred mission”.
“During the mission, you will carry out China’s EVA with homemade EVA space suit, which is a great leap for China’s space technology.” said Hu.
Other tasks of the Shenzhou VII crew include the release of a small monitoring satellite and a trial of the data relay of the satellite Tianlian-I.
If successful, the mission would be of great significance to the country’s future plans to build a space lab and a space station, said ZhangJianqi, deputy chief commander of the manned space project.
