The purpose of this article is to__________ ．

根据以下内容回答题：American society is not nap friendly．“In fact，”says David Dinges，a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine，“there’S even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep．”Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work．To quote a proverb：“Some sleep five hours，nature requires seven，laziness nine and wickedness eleven．”“Wrong．The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them．We have to totally change onr attitude toward napping．”says Dr．William Dement of Stanford University，the god-father of sleep research． Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an“American sleep debt”which one member said was as important as the national debt．The commission was concerned about the danger，of sleepiness：people causing industrial accident or falling asleep while driving．This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House．According to recent reports，president Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze（打瞌睡）every afternoon． About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity．We seem to have“a mid-afternoon quiet phase”（also called“a secondary sleep gate”）．Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make US refreshed．Clearly，we were born to nap． We，Superstars of Snooze，don’t nap to replace the lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift．Rather，we“snack”on sleep，whenever，wherever and at whatever time we feellike it．I myself have napped in buses，ears，planes and on boats；on floors and beds；and in libraries，Offices and museums．

How do ermines survive in winter?

根据以下内容回答题:Exchange a glance with someone，then look away．Do you realize that you have made a statement?Hold the glance for the second longer，and you have made a different statement.Hold it for three seconds，and the meaning has changed again．For every social situation，there is a Dennissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate，rude or aggre- ssive．If you are on an elevator，what gaze．time are you permitted?To answer this question，consider what you typically d0．You are likely to give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean flo threat． Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction，you need to give a signal telling others you want to be left alone．So you cut off eye contact，what sociologist Erv-ing Goffrnan calls“a dimming of the lights”you look down at the floor，at the indicator lights，anywhere but into another passenger"s eyes．Should you break the rule against staring at a stran-ger on an elevator，you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable，and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself． If you hold eye contact for more than three seconds，what are you telling another person?Much depends on the person and situation，For instance，a man and woman communicate interest in this matter．They typieally gaze at each other for about three seconds at a time，then drop their eyes down for three seconds，before letting their eyes meet again．But-if one man gives another man a 3-second—plus stare，he signals“I know you，I am interested in you，”or“you look peculiar and I am CUriOUS about you．”This type of state ohen produces hostile feel—ings．

It can be inferred from the first paragraph that__________ ．

During hibernation，animals breathe__________ ．

According to the passage，what is“migration”?

What keeps animals alive during hibernation?

根据以下内容回答题:Man has invented ways to keep walqTl，but how do animals defend themselves?They can not reason in the sense that a man can，but nature has taken care of the animal kingdom by providing animals with special instincts．One of these instincts is known as hibernation（冬眠）． “Sleeping like a dormouse”is not only a common saying but is a reality．When winter comes，the dormouse and other hibernating animals have reached a well-nourished state．They eat very well in warmer days laying downy fat in the tissues of their bodies and during hiberna- tion this keeps them alive．Safe in their nests，or burrows，they sleep soundly until the warmth of spring arrives． Bats，tortoises，snakes，frogs，even insects like butterflies，hibernate more or less eom-pletely．Some，like the squirrels，sleep during coldest weather but are roused by a waYnl spells．During hibernation，the temperature of an animal’S body drops drastically．Breathing and heart．beats almost cease． Another instinctive method of avoiding intense cold is to escape by means of migration．Wild swans，seagulls，swallows and cuckoos are a few of the very many kinds of birds which fly thousands of miles，twice a year，to avoid cold．Many animals，especially those of the Arctic regions，have summer and winter quarters．The Arctic deer of North America；as well as the reindeer of Europe，move southward towards the forests when winter approaches．They return to the northern area when the warmth of spring begins to be sensed． There are animals which do not attempt to leave at the first sign of winter cold．Their in—stinctive means of defence is to dig out a deep burrow，made soft and waYin by padding out with straw，1eaves，moss and fur．In it they have a“secret place”containing food which they hope will last the winter through!Animals which faU into this clhss include the Arctic fox，the rabbit ana the ermine，and the little field-mice．

How does the dormouse defend itself against cold in winter?

Which may be the best title for this passage?

If a person visits too many places in a short time，__________ ．

One thing is common for all holiday—makers．That is__________ ．

根据以下内容回答题：Nowadays there are more and more ways，of going on holiday．More and more people go abroad every year．Some people even go on two or three holidays a year． There are two types of holiday-makers．The first kind always flocks to seaside resorts when they go on holiday．Their one and only aim is to have a good time by sun-bathing and putting their feet up．They are not a bit interested in local specialities．At mealtimes，if they can get a plate of British“fish and chips”，they’re more than happy!They spend their days in the sun-shine and their evenings getting drunk．and then sleep soundly．If this sort of person forgets to pack the suntan oil，he or she will undoubtedly come home as red as a lobster． The other type of holiday—makers goes to every country to increase their knowledge of for-eign lands．They make use of the chance to travel to improve their world knowledge．For them，going on holiday is educational．Consequently，this sort of travelers will move from p!ace to place every few days．If they visit lots of places in a short span of time，there is no way that they can get a proper feel of a place or fully appreciate the local food and wine． Whichever type of holiday chosen，everybody has the same aim：to put their work to the back of their minds，have as much fun as possible and come home happy and relaxed．

The aim of the first type of holiday-makers is__________ ．
