“If you consider getting older with needing less sleep, it’s not true!” says Robert Oexman, D.C., director of the Sleep to Live Institute. Besides disease, medicine and pain, if partients complain of bad sleep, Dr. Oexman looks at their nighttime habits, where the problem almost always exists. So, how are you destroying your sleep?
Watch TV until you fall asleep
It has nothing to do with what you watch. It’s you who face TV’s bright light. That’s the reason. So even if you nod off in front of the TV, for example, you probably won’t stay asleep for long.
So an hour before bedtime, treat yourself like a baby: a warm bath. But no reading or writing on your computer before bed or in the middle of the night.
Exercise too close to bedtime
Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever, never really feeling rested? Well, heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect--it raises your body temperature, so when you lay your sleepy head on the pillow, your body temperature is normal.
Eat fatty, heavy foods too close to bedtime
If you’ve ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you’ve probably found the discomfort of stomach acids(胃酸)less than good for falling asleep or staying asleep.
So try to eat your last meal of the day at least 2-3 hours before bedtime. Should you feel hungry before bed? So have a bowl of cereal or a small boiled potato. Or maybe have a serving of jasmine rice.

解析

试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是在人们的生活中,有一些坏习惯影响着我们的睡眠,短文中给我们列举了三个,如看着电视睡觉、在睡觉之前锻炼身体、在睡觉之前吃太油腻的东西等。在短文中作者还相应的给了我们一些建议。
小题1:根据短文第一段的内容可知,Robert Oexman 告诉我们,除了疾病、药物和疼痛,生活中的一些不好的习惯会影响人们的睡眠。接下来作者从三个方面分析了这些习惯。故这里这篇短文的标题应该是帮助解决睡眠问题。
小题2:根据短文第一段中Besides disease, medicine and pain, if partients complain of bad sleep, Dr. Oexman looks at their nighttime habits,可知,除了疾病、药物和疼痛,还有一些坏的习惯会影响人们的睡眠。故这里应该填bad habits。
小题3:根据这个表格中的内容我们可以知道,表格中的这一列说的是那些坏习惯导致的结果。result 是一个名词,意思是结果。
小题4:这里是短文中列举的第一个坏习惯,在短文的第二段的标题Watch TV until you fall asleep可知,这里说的是有些人看电视直到睡着,即看着电视睡觉。故这里填watching。
小题5:根据短文第二段中So even if you nod off in front of the TV, for example, you probably won’t stay asleep for long可知,如果看着电视睡觉的话,即使你离开电视了,你也可能长时间睡不着。故这里填possible 或likely,他们的意思都是可能的。
小题6:根据短文第二段中,作者说完了人们的这个坏习惯后,给出了建议,So an hour before bedtime, treat yourself like a baby: a warm bath.即在睡觉之前,洗个热水澡。故填bath。
小题7:根据短文第二段中But no reading or writing on your computer before bed or in the middle of the night.可知,在半夜睡觉前,不要在读书或在电脑上写作。这句话中in the middle of the night的意思是在半夜,故填midnight.
小题8:根据短文第三段中的内容可知,如果你在接近睡觉的时间锻炼身体,这就好像发烧一样,你的体温会上升,这样的话要花费好几个小时你才能睡好。故填well。
小题9:根据短文最后一段中If you’ve ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you’ve probably found the discomfort of stomach acids less than good for falling asleep or staying asleep.可知,如果睡觉钱吃得太多,或太油腻,你的胃会感觉非常的不舒服。故这里填uncomfortable,它的意思和短文中的discomfort是一样的,即不舒服的。
小题10:根据短文的最后一句话Should you feel hungry before bed? So have a bowl of cereal or a small boiled potato. Or maybe have a serving of jasmine rice.可知,万一在睡觉前感觉饿了,可以吃点东西。hungry 是一个形容词,饿的。

How to be a good detective(侦探)

Have you seen the Hollywood movie Sherlock Holmes? Holmes is a character created by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His books were so popular that Holmes soon became “the most famous detective in the world”. In this movie, this great detective faces a dangerous man, Lord Blackwood. Together with his best friend Dr Watson, Holmes stops Blackwood’s plan to control the world with black “magic”.
Most of us are not as smart as Holmes. But we can also work out mysteries on our own. All we have to do is to follow some simple rules.
小题1: No matter how smart he or she is, the most important quality for a detective is being good. In the movie, Lord Blackwood and Sherlock Holmes are both very smart. The difference is that Lord Blackwood is a bad man and he does bad things. Holmes can beat him on the side of justice (正义).
小题2: Every bad man tries to cover up what he did. But not all things can be covered up easily. A good detective can discover clues hidden at crime scenes with sharp eyes. For example, Holmes can simply look at a man’s footprints and quickly find out his personal information like age and habits.
小题3:Even though Holmes has knowledge about many subjects , such as chemistry, botany (植物学) and anatomy, he still needs Dr Watson’s help to fight with him. We should also have someone to help you, especially if you don’t know as much as Holmes.
小题4: A good detective never jumps to conclusions. When all the necessary clues are put together, you’d better think carefully. If you can’t work it out, don’t be afraid. Just take a deep breath and concentrate on thinking. Logic can help you discover missing clues.

A.Have sharp eyes.
B.Logic (逻辑) is the key.
C.A good assistant is a great help.
D.Justice is most important.
小题5:Holmes is a character created by _______.
A.Lord BlackwoodB.Sir Arthur DoyleC.Dr WatsonD.Charles Dickens
