Medical experts say most Americans do not get enough sleep. They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.

Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that 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 tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effects until the end of the day. But experts said that a nap should last no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.

1.What’s the best way to increase workers’ effects?

A. Talking with friends.

B. Doing relaxing exercises.

C. Laughing, smiling and crying.

D. Having a rest for twenty or thirty minutes.

2.What will happen to the workers if they keep out working without any rest?

A. They will get a lot of money.

B. They will fail in their jobs and even cause a lot of trouble.

C. They will live a happy life in the future.

D. They will feel better after finishing every day jobs.

3.The meaning of the underlined word “reducing” in the first paragraph is .

A. 加大 B. 缓解 C. 产生 D. 制造

More and more Chinese are having English names, but not everyone is good at finding one. Why not offer them some help? An American girl called Lindsay Jernigan is now teaching people how to get better English names.

While working in Shanghai, Lindsay met many Chinese people with strange English names. Some of them chose a lucky number of “Seven,” a favorite fruit, “Apple,” and a cartoon character, “Snow White.” Others had names like “July” and “Rabbit.”

After noticing the problem, Lindsay had an idea. She quit her job and set up a website (bestenglishname.com) to help Chinese people get better English names.

The website helps people in two ways. After they take an online quiz, people will get five English names based on their personal information, such as age, job and even future plans. This costs 18 yuan. People can also meet with Lindsay to talk about their English name. But that costs more.

Now, about 2,000 people each day visit the website. Most of them are preparing to study or work abroad. Lindsay is planning to offer them more help, such as helping them write resumes(简历).

1.What does Lindsay think of the name of “Rabbit”?

A. Wonderful. B. Strange. C. Creative. D. Wrong..

2.The underlined word “quit” means _______in the passage.

A. continued B. asked C. picked up D. gave up

3.Which of the following is TRUE about Lindsay?

A. Her website mainly helps the English--speaking people.

B. Her idea came from his work experience in China.

C. She plans to provide more service for the customers.

D. She can help the people to get name in two ways.

4.The best title of the passage is _______.

A. A hard-working American girl B. Never choose English names without thinking

C. How to find a good English name D. An American girl helps choose English names
