Taking a nap is frowned upon by many
people and is viewed as fondness for the elderly and children. Mention nap and
you could be seen as lazy, depressed and unwilling to work. However, taking a
nap is one of the best but most underused tools for busy people to ease
weariness. The majority of people experience drowsiness in the afternoon and
notice their work efficiency and mood starting to slip and taking a nap will
help combat this. The results of research suggest that taking a
nap can make you more alert, reduce stress and improve cognitive function
compared to those who working all day without rest. A mid-afternoon nap means
that productivity can last long into the night. Researchers at NASA found that a
30- minute full nap increased cognitive function by 40%. The volunteers on the
tests found that their memory improved as well as experiencing an increase in
concentration. Those who didn't nap would score lower on IQ test than those who
did (after a day of work). If you feel tired in the afternoon
and from then on can't perform at your best, t recommend taking a short power
nap to get yourself feel alert and ready for work. You will notice your mood and
alertness to be improved. ! advise keeping the nap between 15 and 30 minutes if
you want to avoid getting into deeper stages of sleep. If you do, you'll find it
harder to wake and may experience the unstable feeling for a while.
For those who are worried about the after-affect of a nap, there is the
caffeine nap. A caffeine nap is taken after an intake of caffeine, so that you
are asleep while your body digests the caffeine. After a 15 -30 minutes nap, you
wake up and have the caffeine in your system. This is great if you need to be
instantly on the move after a nap, and you can bounce out of your sleeping state
and jump into refreshed Work feeling. Finding 15 -30 minutes to
take a nap in a day sometimes seems difficult, but doing so is very helpful to
your productivity. Even 10 minutes of a nap every day will be better than
nothing at all, and may give you the energy you need to be successful. If you're
willing to have a try, make sure you can find a comfortable place before setting
your head down. If you can feel secure and let go, then your rest will be even
more beneficial.

Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[命题目的]此题考查考生对细节进行推理和概括的能力。
[解题要点] 根据最后一段第一句“Finding 15—30 minutes to take a nap in a day sometimes seems difficult…”可知，每天腾出15—30分钟来小睡有时候有些困难，A项不符合文意。根据第四段最后一句“This is great if you need to be instantly on the move after a nap, and you can bounce out of your sleeping state and jump into refreshed work feeling.”可知，咖啡因小睡能够让人在瞌睡之后马上清醒并精神百倍地投入工作，这是很好的方法，文中没有提及咖啡因小睡对身体有害，B项不符合文意。根据第三段第三句“I advise keeping the nap between 15 and 30 minutes as you want to avoid getting into deeper stages of sleep.”可知，C项意为当我们小睡少于30分钟时，就可以避免深度睡眠，符合文意。根据原文第二段第二句话“A mid-afternoon sleep means that productivity can last long into the night.”可知，下午三点左右的小睡能使人工作到夜晚，并不是说下午小睡晚上就可以不睡觉，D项不符合文意，故正确答案为C选项。

[解题要点] 根据第一段第三句“However, taking a nap is one of the best most underused tools for busy people to ease weariness.”可知，小睡对于上班族来说是缓解疲劳的最佳方法之一，A项与文意不符。B项意为小睡被视为可以治疗疾病，文中只涉及小睡可以缓解疲劳，并没有提及治病的含义，故排除。根据该段第二句“Mention nap and you could be seen as lazy, depressed and unwilling to work”可知，提到小睡，你可能会被视为懒惰，懈怠以及不愿意工作，但这是原文的本意，并不是推断出来的，故不选C项；根据第一段最后一句话“小睡可以缓解疲劳提高工作效率，调整心情”可知D项符合文意，故正确答案为D选项。

Which one is not the benefit of taking a nap?
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[命题目的]此题考查考生对全文的理解和把握能力。
[解题要点] 根据第二段第一句话“The results of research suggest that taking a nap can make you more alert, reduce stress and improve cognitive function compared to working all day without rest.”，可得出结论小睡能让人保持清醒，减少压力，提升认知功能，第三段中第一句话“If you feel tired in the afternoon and from then on don't perform at your best, I recommend taking a short power nap to get yourself feeling alert and ready for work.”可以归结出打个盹可以让自己保持最佳状态和精力充沛并为工作做好准备。由后面三句可得出小睡可以提高人的敏锐度和改善精神状态，而当人处在睡意中没有小睡或是睡得太沉，就会导致情绪低落沮丧或大脑昏昏沉沉的，因此D项不是小睡的益处，故正确答案为D选项。
