Everyone knows a power nap feels good, but do you know that power naps fit right into your normal sleep or wake cycle And, if done right, they can really help you get through the day.
We are built to nap
Our bodies have an inside timekeeper called the circadian rhythm (昼夜节律). The term “circadian” comes from the Latin words meaning “about (circa) a day (diem)”. It is based on 24-hour light/dark cycle and allows your body to keep with the light/dark environment. The circadian rhythm helps you fall asleep and wake up. It changes during the day, as shown in the picture.
Keys to power napping
Your body’s circadian rhythm falls and rises throughout the day. With the largest fall in the afternoon, your body becomes more tired during this time. That is to say, in the afternoon, you are designed for napping.
In studies, a nap lasting a quarter can do the most help in school performance and thinking ability. It helps you to concentrate on your class and reduce stress without affecting your ability to fall asleep at night. As for when to start, the best answer will be around 2:00 pm according to the variation of circadian rhythm.
In addition to the length and the timing, there are other ways you can make the most of your power naps:
Try deep-breathing or another relaxation technique as you start.
Choose a quiet, darkened location. A sleep mask may help.
Lie down or sit in a comfortable chair.
Listen to soft music or white noise.
Try a bit of stretching and walking around to refresh after your nap.

Dear Alexa,
The Irish poet Yeats said, “The intellect (才智出众者) of man is forced to choose: perfection of the life, or of the work.” He was wrong. You could have both.
You’re noticing that time spent on academic learning is time not spent with friends. That time cost will get worse as you get older, rounded with working, achievement-hunting or family responsibilities. Many achievers have woken up at age 50 or 70, only to wonder where all of their friends and soft memories were.
It is too easy to forget why we are trying to gain money and knowledge. It is for a life well-lived instead of money and knowledge themselves. Smart people make this stupid mistake all the time, in search for the means to an end so much that they forget the end altogether.
The trick is to see your day, not your life, as the place where you carry out your priorities. Every day there will be one more task you could do. Teach yourself to stop even though there’s more to do. Think of things you have missed out in your life and promise yourself you won’t do them again: “I won’t cancel on a friend’s birthday” or “I won’t speak to my family as though I’m the lead.”
Giving slightly less time to work doesn’t mean achieving less. I have been lucky to know some seriously achieving people in my life from Rhodes scholars to Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize winners. None of them are in their office at 11 p.m. flapping papers. If they were, they would not have such energy for their greatness.
You don’t have to choose between life and work since making time for one helps the other. But you have to make the time since how you plan your day is how you plan your life.
Eleanor Gordon-Smith

One of Twitter’s main characters recently was a man who chose to keep his middle seat between a couple on a flight instead of moving to the side. The situation raised some questions: Who are these middle-seat lovers What do they want
Many of the thousands of replies suggested that the majority of the flying public cannot understand why someone would ever choose the middle over a window or an aisle (走廊). But among the majority appeared a few people who endorse middle seats. “In the middle seat I don’t feel I should lean one way or another and generally sit pretty comfortably,” one person wrote. Another added: “I’m not getting hit by someone walking down the aisle or luggage either.”
Kyle Burke, in Florida, said on Twitter that he usually exchanged seats when asked. “I didn’t want to sit between a couple that were upset with me,” he told The Washington Post. At 6-foot-7, Burke, 41, said he didn’t fit well in plane seats, anyway. So, he preferred the middle, which gives him double chance of having a chatty neighbor.
Frederick resident Samantha Jones told The Post by email that she usually chose the middle seat when traveling alone. As a mother of three, “Having personal space is a far-off memory.” she said. “Middle seats have the least amount of responsibility,” she wrote. “I don’t control the window shade and only have to get by one person to get out or to go to the bathroom.”
Despite the few fans, middle seats are still not likely to get much respect. “There’s nothing good in the middle seat,” Scott McCartney, the writer of the journal Middle Seat said. “The position’s infamy (臭名昭著) was part of the reason for the journal’s name.” He added: “People really care about the ‘middle seat’, so they are more likely to pick up this magazine on seeing it.”
18. How does the author start the text
A. By challenging a common belief. B. By raising a couple’s questions.
C. By comparing travelers’ preferences. D. By presenting an unusual seat choice.
19. What does the underlined word “endorse” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Exchange. B. Resist. C. Support. D. Indicate.
20. Why does Samantha prefer the middle seat
A. It provides larger space. B. It reduces unnecessary trouble.
C. It avoids family responsibilities. D. It offers networking opportunities.
21. Why did Scott choose “Middle Seat” as the name of his journal
A. To catch readers’ eyes. B. To voice his own taste.
C. To make people think. D. To urge airlines to change.
D
In the continuing fever for outdoor sports and activities, China’s young generation now find themselves drawn to a new activity—lure fishing (假饵钓鱼).
Traditional fishing methods use real bait (饵) and often require hours of patient waiting. However, lure fishing takes a different approach. Here, fishermen use man-made bait to copy the movements of a fish’s natural prey (捕食) such as swimming, struggling and escaping. In this way, fish will mistake the bait for the real prey and make attack. Because fishermen need to frequently throw and take back the line to seek for fish, the sport looks elegant and is called “water golf”.
“The fish shakes and struggles sharply. The feeling is just like putting your hand out of the window while driving at fifty miles per hour,” a fishing lover says, recalling his experience of catching a big fish using a lure fishing technique.
In recent months, many young Chinese have taken to social media to share their experiences. The topic “lure fishing” has over 140,000 posts on the lifestyle platform Xiaohongshu, and videos with the same tag have billions of views on the short video platform Douyin.
Another feature that attracts the young generation is lure fishing’s environmentally-responsible approach. By using green man-made bait, the activity does not bring trouble to the natural environment of the water. Also, the general agreement in the lure fishing community is to “catch and release”, which is to let the little fish go and grow, in order to protect fish.
Moreover, lure fishing is beginner-friendly and requires less equipment compared with traditional fishing. A basic set costs between 500 and 2,000 yuan. But costs can rise significantly if you seek to take a more professional approach.
“Each fishing scene has its fishing rod (竿), and each fishing technique also has its fishing rod,” another lure fishing lover says. He adds he has seven to eight sets of fishing rods, which should come to thousands of yuan in cost.
22. How is lure fishing different from traditional methods
A. It is a more active way. B. It uses real small fish as bait.
C. It is a more time-consuming way. D. It saves fishing lovers’ energy.
23. Which of the following best describes the feeling of the lure fishing lover in paragraph 3
A. Tired. B. Relaxed. C. Surprised. D. Touched.
24. Why is lure fishing thought as environmentally-friendly
A. It uses more natural bait. B. It requires fewer resources.
C. It improves the quality of water. D. It maintains fish’s living condition.
25. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about lure fishing
A. Its expenses. B. Its skills. C. Its benefits. D. Its audiences.

Dear Alexa,
The Irish poet Yeats said, “The intellect (才智出众者) of man is forced to choose: perfection of the life, or of the work.” He was wrong. You could have both.
You’re noticing that time spent on academic learning is time not spent with friends. That time cost will get worse as you get older, rounded with working, achievement-hunting or family responsibilities. Many achievers have woken up at age 50 or 70, only to wonder where all of their friends and soft memories were.
It is too easy to forget why we are trying to gain money and knowledge. It is for a life well-lived instead of money and knowledge themselves. Smart people make this stupid mistake all the time, in search for the means to an end so much that they forget the end altogether.
The trick is to see your day, not your life, as the place where you carry out your priorities. Every day there will be one more task you could do. Teach yourself to stop even though there’s more to do. Think of things you have missed out in your life and promise yourself you won’t do them again: “I won’t cancel on a friend’s birthday” or “I won’t speak to my family as though I’m the lead.”
Giving slightly less time to work doesn’t mean achieving less. I have been lucky to know some seriously achieving people in my life from Rhodes scholars to Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize winners. None of them are in their office at 11 p.m. flapping papers. If they were, they would not have such energy for their greatness.
You don’t have to choose between life and work since making time for one helps the other. But you have to make the time since how you plan your day is how you plan your life.
Eleanor Gordon-Smith

But you have to make the time since how you plan your day is how you plan your life(你不需要在生活和工作之间做出选择，因为为其中一方腾出时间也会有助于另一方。但你必须腾出时间，因为你规划一天的方式就是你规划生活的方式)”可知，作者认为成功的人生不需要在生活和工作之间做出选择，要学会做好规划，适可而止，因为人生中不只有工作，还有比工作中获得的奖励更重要的东西，故选C项。

One of Twitter’s main characters recently was a man who chose to keep his middle seat between a couple on a flight instead of moving to the side. The situation raised some questions: Who are these middle-seat lovers What do they want
Many of the thousands of replies suggested that the majority of the flying public cannot understand why someone would ever choose the middle over a window or an aisle (走廊). But among the majority appeared a few people who endorse middle seats. “In the middle seat I don’t feel I should lean one way or another and generally sit pretty comfortably,” one person wrote. Another added: “I’m not getting hit by someone walking down the aisle or luggage either.”
Kyle Burke, in Florida, said on Twitter that he usually exchanged seats when asked. “I didn’t want to sit between a couple that were upset with me,” he told The Washington Post. At 6-foot-7, Burke, 41, said he didn’t fit well in plane seats, anyway. So, he preferred the middle, which gives him double chance of having a chatty neighbor.
Frederick resident Samantha Jones told The Post by email that she usually chose the middle seat when traveling alone. As a mother of three, “Having personal space is a far-off memory.” she said. “Middle seats have the least amount of responsibility,” she wrote. “I don’t control the window shade and only have to get by one person to get out or to go to the bathroom.”
Despite the few fans, middle seats are still not likely to get much respect. “There’s nothing good in the middle seat,” Scott McCartney, the writer of the journal Middle Seat said. “The position’s infamy (臭名昭著) was part of the reason for the journal’s name.” He added: “People really care about the ‘middle seat’, so they are more likely to pick up this magazine on seeing it.”
18. How does the author start the text
A. By challenging a common belief. B. By raising a couple’s questions.
C. By comparing travelers’ preferences. D. By presenting an unusual seat choice.
19. What does the underlined word “endorse” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Exchange. B. Resist. C. Support. D. Indicate.
20. Why does Samantha prefer the middle seat
A. It provides larger space. B. It reduces unnecessary trouble.
C. It avoids family responsibilities. D. It offers networking opportunities.
21. Why did Scott choose “Middle Seat” as the name of his journal
A. To catch readers’ eyes. B. To voice his own taste.
C. To make people think. D. To urge airlines to change.
【答案】18. D 19. C 20. B 21. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了一个关于飞机上中间座位的讨论，许多人表示，大多数乘坐飞机的人无法理解为什么有人会选择中间的座位，而不是靠窗或靠过道的座位。但在大多数人中，出现了一些支持中间席位的人。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“One of Twitter’s main characters recently was a man who chose to keep his middle seat between a couple on a flight instead of moving to the side. The situation raised some questions: Who are these middle-seat lovers What do they want (最近推特上的一个主角是一名男子，他在飞机上选择坐在一对夫妇中间的座位，而不是挪到旁边。这种情况引发了一些问题：这些爱坐在中间的人是谁？他们想要什么？)”可推知，作者通过提供一个不寻常的座位选择开始这篇文章。故选D。
【19题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文““In the middle seat I don’t feel I should lean one way or another and generally sit pretty comfortably,” one person wrote. Another added: “I’m not getting hit by someone walking down the aisle or luggage either.”(“在中间的座位上，我觉得我不会朝这边或那边倾斜，通常坐得很舒服，”一个人写道。另一个人补充道：“我不会被过道上走过的人或行李撞到。”)”可知，后文列举了两个支持中间座位的人，故划线词意思是“支持”。故选C。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As a mother of three, “Having personal space is a far-off memory.” she said. “Middle seats have the least amount of responsibility,” she wrote. “I don’t control the window shade and only have to get by one person to get out or to go to the bathroom.”(作为三个孩子的母亲，“拥有私人空间是一个遥远的记忆。她说。“中间座位的责任最少，”她写道。“我不能控制窗帘，出去或上厕所只需要经过一个人。”)”可知，萨曼莎喜欢中间的座位是为了减少不必要的麻烦。故选B。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“He added: “People really care about the ‘middle seat’, so they are more likely to pick up this magazine on seeing it.”(他补充说：“人们真的很在乎‘中间座位’，所以他们更有可能在拿起这本杂志时看到它。”)”可知，斯科特选择“中间座位”作为他日记的名字是为了吸引读者的眼球。故选A。

In the continuing fever for outdoor sports and activities, China’s young generation now find themselves drawn to a new activity—lure fishing (假饵钓鱼).
Traditional fishing methods use real bait (饵) and often require hours of patient waiting. However, lure fishing takes a different approach. Here, fishermen use man-made bait to copy the movements of a fish’s natural prey (捕食) such as swimming, struggling and escaping. In this way, fish will mistake the bait for the real prey and make attack. Because fishermen need to frequently throw and take back the line to seek for fish, the sport looks elegant and is called “water golf”.
“The fish shakes and struggles sharply. The feeling is just like putting your hand out of the window while driving at fifty miles per hour,” a fishing lover says, recalling his experience of catching a big fish using a lure fishing technique.
In recent months, many young Chinese have taken to social media to share their experiences. The topic “lure fishing” has over 140,000 posts on the lifestyle platform Xiaohongshu, and videos with the same tag have billions of views on the short video platform Douyin.
Another feature that attracts the young generation is lure fishing’s environmentally-responsible approach. By using green man-made bait, the activity does not bring trouble to the natural environment of the water. Also, the general agreement in the lure fishing community is to “catch and release”, which is to let the little fish go and grow, in order to protect fish.
Moreover, lure fishing is beginner-friendly and requires less equipment compared with traditional fishing. A basic set costs between 500 and 2,000 yuan. But costs can rise significantly if you seek to take a more professional approach.
“Each fishing scene has its fishing rod (竿), and each fishing technique also has its fishing rod,” another lure fishing lover says. He adds he has seven to eight sets of fishing rods, which should come to thousands of yuan in cost.
22. How is lure fishing different from traditional methods
A. It is a more active way. B. It uses real small fish as bait.
C. It is a more time-consuming way. D. It saves fishing lovers’ energy.
23. Which of the following best describes the feeling of the lure fishing lover in paragraph 3
A. Tired. B. Relaxed. C. Surprised. D. Touched.
24. Why is lure fishing thought as environmentally-friendly
A. It uses more natural bait. B. It requires fewer resources.
C. It improves the quality of water. D. It maintains fish’s living condition.
25. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about lure fishing
A. Its expenses. B. Its skills. C. Its benefits. D. Its audiences.
【答案】22. A 23. B 24. D 25. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了假饵钓鱼在中国的年轻人当中很受欢迎的现象。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Traditional fishing methods use real bait (饵) and often require hours of patient waiting. However, lure fishing takes a different approach. Here, fishermen use man-made bait to copy the movements of a fish’s natural prey (捕食) such as swimming, struggling and escaping. In this way, fish will mistake the bait for the real prey and make attack.(传统的钓鱼方法使用真正的诱饵，通常需要数小时的耐心等待。然而，引诱捕鱼采用了不同的方法。在这里，渔民使用人造诱饵来模仿鱼的自然猎物的动作，如游泳、挣扎和逃跑。这样一来，鱼就会误以为诱饵是真正的猎物而发起攻击。)”可知，传统的钓鱼方法要用真正的诱饵并且花很久时间等待鱼去咬饵，而假饵钓鱼则是用人造诱饵模仿鱼的猎物的动作，让鱼去主动发起攻击。由此可推测出，假饵钓鱼与传统钓鱼方法的不同之处在于，它是一种更加主动的方式。故选A。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中假饵钓鱼爱好者的话“The feeling is just like putting your hand out of the window while driving at fifty miles per hour(这种感觉就像在以每小时50英里的速度行驶时把手伸出窗外)”可知，这位钓鱼爱好者说这种感觉就像开车兜风时把手伸出窗外的感觉，由此可推测出，他感觉很放松。故选B。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Another feature that attracts the young generation is lure fishing’s environmentally-responsible approach. By using green man-made bait, the activity does not bring trouble to the natural environment of the water.(吸引年轻一代的另一个特点是假饵钓鱼对环境负责的方法。通过使用绿色人造诱饵，该活动不会给水域的自然环境带来麻烦。)”可知，假饵钓鱼使用绿色人造诱饵，不会污染水域环境，所以它对环境有好，由此可推测出，这种钓鱼方法可以保护鱼的生存环境。故选D。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。倒数第二段最后一句“But costs can rise significantly if you seek to take a more professional approach.(但是，如果你想采取更专业的方法，成本可能会大幅上升。)”指出，如果采取更专业的方法，成本会大幅上升，再结合最后一段“‘Each fishing scene has its fishing rod (竿), and each fishing technique also has its fishing rod,’ another lure fishing lover says. He adds he has seven to eight sets of fishing rods, which should come to thousands of yuan in cost.(‘每一个捕鱼场景都有它的钓竿，每一种捕鱼技术也有它的鱼竿，’另一位假饵钓鱼爱好者说。他补充说，他有七到八套鱼竿，这些鱼竿的成本应该高达数千元。)”可推出，本段主要讲述了假饵钓鱼的鱼竿花费。故选A。

【29题详解】
根据本段内容“Find materials that are interesting, real, but not too difficult when you start learning the language. Materials of a conversational nature or podcasts are easier than formal materials.
