Taking a Nap(打盹)During the Day
Medical experts say most Americans do not get 1 sleep.They say more Americans need to rest for a short period in the middle of the day.They are advising people to sleep lightly before 2 with other activities.
One study earlier this year found that persons who sleep for a few minutes during the day were less 3 to die of heart disease.The study followed more than 2,300 Greek adults 4 about six years.Adults who rested for half an hour 5 three times a week had a 37 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who did not nap.
The study organizers said the strongest evidence was in working men.They said naps might improve 6 by mitigating(减低)tension caused by work.
Some European and Latin American businesses have supported the 7 of napping for many years.They urge people to 8 work, go home and have a nap before returning.In the United States, some companies let workers rest briefly in their offices.They believe this reduces 9 and accidents, and 10 increases the amount of work a person can do.
Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times.They say people should not carry out important duties when they feel 11 .And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap.About twenty minutes of rest is 12 you need.Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effectiveness 13 the end of the day.But experts warn that a nap 14 last no more than twenty to thirty minutes.A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be 15 .

Another person's enthusiasm(热情)was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved.That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia.My father 1 me to her with these words:“I would like you to meet the fellow who is distinguished(known)for being the 2 boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 3 than tomorrow morning.”
My stepmother walked over to me, raised my 4 slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye.Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are 5 .This is not the worst boy at all, 6 the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet(释放的途径)for his enthusiasm.”
That statement began a(n) 7 between us.No one had ever called me smart.My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind 8 a bad boy.My stepmother changed all that.
She 9 many things.She persuaded(说服)my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors.She moved our family into the county center, where my father's career(事业)could be more 10 and my brother and I could be better educated.
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter(打字机)and told me that she believed that I could become a 11 .I knew her enthusiasm, I appreciated it had already improved our lives.I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers.I was doing the same kind of 12 that great day when I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life's work later.I wasn't the 13 beneficiary(受益者).My father became the 14 man in town.My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
What power 15 has! When that power is released(let out)to support one's mind and is constantly strengthened by faith(belief), it becomes an irresistible(不可抗拒的)force(power).
You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it.This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

How could this be? My grandpa said it was my grandmother's final 14 on my “sweet sixteenth”.I cried.
