阅读理解If you feel tired all the time, you don''t necessarily need to go to bed earlier ---- the solution could be as simple as taking a five-minute afternoon nap.
Children under five have an abundance of energy and one of the reasons is because they nap once or twice a day. Many sleep experts think we''re programmed to take a nap during the day, and getting back into this habit can be a solution for those who feel tired all the time.
Prof. Chris Idzikowski of the Sleep Advisory and Assessment Center thinks that one can feel refreshed after just five minutes sleep. And research has shown that concentration and attention are improved after even a short nap.
Sleep is genetically programmed in babies and it''s only as we get older that we learn to sleep for about eight hours a night and not at all during the day. But most research suggests that we are not physically designed to sleep for one long, single block.
Before the working day became nine to five, all Western sleep patterns were more broken up. Research has shown that in the Middle Ages, people''s sleep quite often occurred in three distinct parts ---- a nap in the afternoon, an early morning nap and another, longer sleep until dawn.
So if you do find yourself feeling sleepy through the day, don''t feel you''re being lazy by giving in to sleep and having a nap. Your increased energy and alertness will make the rest of your day extra productive.

阅读理解[此试题无题干]
阅读理解Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones, and one hour separate. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.
If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.
If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the. point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow.
阅读理解Christmas was coming. Amy wanted a special gift from Santa Claus, so she wrote to the newspaper:
Dear Santa Claus,
My name is Amy. I have a problem. At school, kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy, just want one day where no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.
Love, Amy
The next day, her letter to Santa made the front page of the Newspaper. The story spread quickly. All across the country, newspapers and radio and television stations reported the story of the little girl, who asked for such a simple, yet remarkable, Christmas gift ---- just one day without teasing.
During that unforgettable Christmas season, over two thousand people from all over the world sent Amy letters of friendship and support. Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing at school.
That year, the mayor officially proclaimed December 21st as Amy Day throughout the city. The mayor explained that by daring to make such a simple wish, Amy taught a universal lesson.
"Everyone," said the mayor," wants and deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and warmth."

阅读理解Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Singapore, especially in places where traffic is heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.
The purpose of these bridges is to enable people to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossing(斑马线). They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When people use an overhead bridge, they don''t hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built up many overhead bridges to help people and to keep traffic moving at the same time.
For their own safety, people should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing(冲,闯)across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.
Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.

阅读理解For some employers, the policy of lifelong employment is particularly important because it means that they can put money and effort into their staff(职员) training and make them loyal to the company. What they do is to select young people who have potential(潜能) and who can be trained. They then give the young people the kinds of skills that will make them suitable employees for the company. In other words, they adjust their training to their particular needs.
One recently employed graduate says that she is receiving a great deal of valuable training from the company. "This means that I will be a loyal employee," she says. "And it also means that the company will want to keep me. I am an important investment for them. So the policy is a good one because it benefits both the employer and the employee."
Recently, however, attitudes towards lifelong employment are beginning to change. Employees are slowly beginning to accept the idea that lifelong employment is not always in their best interest and that changing firms can have career advantages.

阅读理解Advice given by human resources officers in large foreign companies can help you find a satisfying job. Here are more useful suggestions.
1. Don''t start writing your resume before your graduation. From the first day you enter the university, you have begun writing it. Plan to put your four years to full use so that at graduation your resume will be full of valuable experiences and remarkable academic (学术) results.
2. Never apply to a company or for a job blindly. Find out where your interests lie and what your advantages are. Decide first what road you want to take for the rest of your life. Choose a company and a job that fits you well.
3. Don''t feel inferior(低下的) to boys if you are a girl job-hunter. Except for some physical work, girls are as capable as boys. Girls even have lots of advantages over boys. For Example, girls are stronger in social communication. They are innately (天生地) skilled to express themselves effectively and to show understanding to others. They tend to be more patient, easier to get along with, and usually have better command of foreign languages.
阅读理解Desktop publishing system is a modern publishing system which makes use of computer technology, graphic skills and printing techniques. Upon entering the system, articles or writings go through seven stages to be published.
At the first stage, articles are collected from contributors, either in written form or on a disk. Then the articles which are contributed in written form are typed. After that, the disk is sent to the next stage. The third stage is to design the page frame, where size, number of columns and margins are planned. When the text is placed in the page, it goes to the stage of designing the layout. At this stage illustrations are put in place and most suitable typeface is chosen. Then follows stage five, where articles are printed on the laser printer and passed on to the next stage to be proof-read. After making all corrections, the files are copied onto a disk and sent to printers for publication.
阅读理解Tokyo (东京) is one of the most confusing cities in the world. Over 20 million people live and work in the Tokyo area, and many world famous companies have their offices there. But most streets don''t have names. So how can you find your way in Tokyo?
Most people in Tokyo axe very good at giving directions. They can usually explain how to get to their home or their office from the nearest train station. People in Tokyo often use maps when they give directions. Advertisements in newspapers or magazines, for Example, usually have a small map to help you find the company. If you''re going to visit someone''s house, it''s a good idea to ask the person to draw, or fax you, a map of the local area. If you get lost, the best idea is to go to a police station. In Japan, each neighborhood has a small police station, and the police officers there have a map of all the buildings in the area. Giving directions is an important part of their job.
