    D

    If your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, he’d better offer you more money to do so — or even double that depending on where you live now．That’s because Moscow has just been found to be the world’s most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting．

    Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34.4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment．

    A two-bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4,000 a month; a CD $24.83, and an international newspaper $6.30, according to Mercer．By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger is a steal at $4.80．

    London takes the No.2 place, up from No.5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar．Mercer estimates London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days．Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No.5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly．

    Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the world’s most expensive cities．But both have fallen since last year’s study — New York came in 15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago．San Francisco came in a distant third at No.54, down 20 places from a year earlier．

    Toronto, meanwhile, is Canada’s most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide．In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No.21 worldwide．

    68. What do the underlined words “a steal” in Paragraph 3 mean?

    A. an act of stealing                        B. something delicious

    C. something very cheap                    D. an act of buying

    69. London has become the second most expensive city because of _________．

    A. the high cost of clothing                 B. the stronger pound against the dollar

    C. its expensive transportation              D. the high prices of fast food meals

    70. Which city is the third most expensive on the list?

    A. Tokyo．                 B. Hong Kong．         C. Moscow．               D. Sydney．

    71. Which city has dropped most on the list in North America?

    A. New York．             B. Los Angeles．          C. San Francisco．       D. Toronto．

    Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.

        In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates(气候), where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional (传统的), people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.

        Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

       A. Their body temperature becomes lower.

    2. If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?

       C. About 1:30 pm.                          D. About 3:30 pm

    3.What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?

    A. You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.

    B. You can sleep as long as you like so that you will not feel tied or sleepy.

    C. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.
