Studies have shown that a good night's rest helps us stay healthy. Researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning.
“Getting a good night's sleep is important for the learning and memory process.It's important because it stores(储存)the training and learning exercises into our memory forever while we're sleeping 7 8 hours in bed.And then the next morning when we wake up our mind is better prepared to act on that information,”Twery,an expert on the science of sleep and sleep disorders(失眠)said.
But what about getting rest during the middle of the day?Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better.In fact,napping can help older adults with their brain performance and may also help this group of people fight off age related(年龄相关)memory loss.
The researchers studied 3,000 people and found that those who took an hour long nap did much better on mental(智力的)tests.The hour long nappers also did better on the tests than those who napped for shorter and longer periods.But researchers note that these findings are for those over 65,and for young,healthy adults,an hour long nap may be too long.
“At present,we're suggesting that we try to nap for about 30 minutes or less.30 minutes is enough to remove(消除)the pressure and will help us feel more awake.If we nap longer,we will get trapped into(陷入)the deep sleep,which can be hard to get out of,” Twery said.This feeling is called sleep inertia—the period when you awake from a very deep sleep.For a time,you are unable to think clearly.
( )1.From Paragraph 1,a good night's sleep ________.
A.is usually 7 8 hours B.makes people become smarter
C.makes people wake up early in the morning D.helps with people's learning and memory
( )2.The underlined word “napping” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A.a short sleep during the day B.a good sleep during the day

( )3.What does the result of the study show
A.The time of napping should be controlled. B.The hour long nappers are much smarter.
C. Young adults need more napping time. D.The deeper you sleep,the longer you'll sleep.
( )4.What is the passage mainly about
A.How does napping influence people's health
B.Napping may improve learning and memory.
C.The importance of having a good night's sleep.
D.How long should people nap during the day

Do you remember the last time you spoke to your mother?If you do,when was that?Do you remember the last time you said how much you loved her?If so,when again
I have to admit that as a male,I'm not used to expressing how much I love my parents.I seldom say the most used three words: I Love You.But that changed the moment I learned about my mother's sickness.I was told that my mother had got cancer.The doctor told us that the chance of beating this illness was fifty percent.
We didn't give up.However,we followed all the doctor's advice.She went through the process of chemotherapy(化疗)and all.For two years,my mother continued to fight against the cancer.We had borrowed money from different people to continue with her treatment.Her wardmates(病友)became more than family members to us.They were there for her,cheering her up whenever she felt like giving up.All through her journey,I kept seeing how these people passed away one by one.I couldn't forget their kindness forever.
Sadly,my mother lost her last battle.Her body had given up and become weaker.It was almost two years of battling cancer.Then her last moment came on this spring.
It wasn't easy to accept.It was hard not to notice all the things she had done for us.I knew it wasn't too late to appreciate all the things mothers had done for their children.However,you got to notice it more when they weren't around us anymore.
This is one of the things we often forget—to show and appreciate whatever our parents do to us.I know it isn't late for those whose mothers are still around them.Let them know how much you appreciate all their hard work.All what they did to your life just makes sure that you are living well.
I will always miss my mom.And I'm thinking she should be happier now in another world because my love to her is always staying with her.
( )5.What might the underlined word “appreciate” mean in Chinese
A.支持 B.接受 C.感激 D.鼓励
( )6.What's the main idea of the third paragraph
A.The writer thanked his mother's wardmates for helping his mother.
B.The writer's family had to spend too much money treating his mother.
C.The writer's mother almost succeeded while fighting against her cancer.
D.No one gave up saving the writer's mother's life,including herself.
( )7.Who did the writer want to thank most in the passage
A.His mother. B.His mother's doctor.
C.His mother's wardmates. D.All his family.
( )8.Why did the writer write this passage
A.To thank those in the hospital who ever helped his mother.
B.To miss his great mother who had done much for his family.
C.To keep a memory about how his mother fought against cancer.
D.To encourage more people to learn how to miss their mothers.

Dear Linda,
I’m very happy that you’re interested in Chinese paper cutting. Now, I’d like to tell you something about it. Paper cuttings have a history of over 1,500 years. We can see them in many parts of China. People cut red papers into different shapes such as birds, follows and animals. They are usually put on windows or doors during the Spring Festival. People do that because the paper cuttings are symbols of good luck in the new year. Now more and more people are interested in making paper cuttings.
I hope you’ll come to China to enjoy more paper cuttings.
Yours,
Wang Ke
