Just a Quick Nap（打个盹儿）
Do you feel a little sleepy after lunch? Well, that’s normal. Your body naturally slows down then. What should you do about it? Don’t reach for a coffee! Instead, take a nap.
It’s good to have a daily nap. First of all , you are more efficient（有效的） after napping. You remember things better and make fewer mistakes. Also, you can learn things more easily after taking a nap. A nap may increase your self-confidence and make you more active. It may even cheer you up. But, there are some simple rules you should follow about taking a nap. First, take a nap in the middle of day, about eight hours after you wake up. Next, a 20-minute nap is best. If you sleep longer, you may fall into a deep sleep. After waking from a deep sleep, you will feel worse. Also, you should set an alarm clock. That way, you can fully relax during your nap. You won’t have to keep looking at the clock, so you don’t oversleep.
Now, the next time you feel sleepy after lunch, don’t get stressed. Put your head down, close your eyes, and catch forty winks.

Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies(急需品) for your home, work place, and car.
1．Water
A person needs at least 1/2 gallon(加仑，容量单位) of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per(每一个) person per day and be prepared for a 72 hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container(容器) and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.
2．Food
It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non perishable(不易腐烂的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned(灌装的) food, powdered milk(奶粉), dried fruits, non salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.
3．Flashlights(手电筒) and spare batteries(备用电池)
Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks(泄漏).
Prepare a battery powered(装电池的) radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order(发生故障), so radios will be your best source of information.
4．Clothes
If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.

Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
小题1:It can be inferred from the passage that ____.| A．Fewer and fewer people will buy books. | | B．A good dictionary should be kept in every home. | | C．Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks. | | D．More people like TV programs about famous men. |
小题2:What does the sentence “Television has not killed reading, however.” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?| A．People only need reading, though. | | B．Reading is still necessary today. | | C．Reading is more fun than television. | | D．Watching television doesn’t help reading. |
小题3:What can we learn from the passage?| A．TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge. | | B．Cinemas are the best choice in getting information. | | C．Reading is cheap way of learning and having fun. | | D．Newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself. |

When you read an article you will understand and remember it better if you can work out how the writer has put the ideas together．Sometimes a writer puts ideas together by asking questions and then answering them．For example，if the article is about groundhogs（土拨鼠），the set of questions in the writer’s head might be：
What does a groundhog look like？
Where do groundhogs live？
What do they eat？…
In the article，the author might answer those questions．
Sometimes an author writes out her questions in the article．These questions give you signals．They tell you what the author is going to write next．Often an author has a question in her head but she doesn’t write it out for you．You have to work out her question for yourself．Here’s a sample reading for you to practice this method.
Earthworms
Do you know how many kinds of earthworms there are？There are about 1800 kinds in the world！ They can be brown，purple，green．They can be as small as 3 cm long and as large as 3 m long．
The best time to see earthworms is at night，especially a cool，damp night．That’s when they come up from their burrows（地洞）to hunt for food．Earthworms don’t like to be in the sun．That’s because they breathe through their skin，and they can’t breathe if their skin gets too dry．Earthworms must come out of the earth if it rains a lot，because they can"t breathe in their flooded burrows．What a dangerous life！
Earthworms don"t have eyes，so how can they tell when it"s dark？ They have special places on their skin that are sensitive to light．These spots tell whether it’s light or dark．If you shine a flashlight on an earthworm at night，it will quickly disappear into the ground．
Earthworms don"t have ears either，but they can hear by feeling movements in the earth．If you want to hear like an earthworm，lie on the ground with your fingers in your ears．Then have a friend stamp his or her feet near you．This is how earthworms feel birds and people walking，and moles digging，near them．
Earthworms are useful．Farmers and gardeners like having lots of earthworms in their land because the worms help to make better soil when they dig．That digging keeps the soil loose and airy（通风的）．In one year earthworms can pile up as much as 23,000 kg of castings in an area about the size of a football field．
小题1:What’s the purpose of reading Earthworms?| A．To show the special life facts of earthworms. | | B．To explain the differences from the groundhogs. | | C．To put the writer’s idea into real use. | | D．To make the readers think more clearly. |
小题2:Which question CANNOT be answered in the passage?| A．How do earthworms help with gardeners? | | B．What life are earthworms living with? | | C．When may people observe earthworms? | | D．Why can human listen like earthworms? |
小题3:How can you understand Earthworms better according to this passage?| A．Read, ask and answer questions in your own head while reading. | | B．Read to work out all the questions in the writer’s head while reading. | | C．Read and check all the things that are not clear to you again and again. | | D．Read for general ideas and discuss or compare with other similar topics. |
小题4:What’s the best title for the passage?| A．One way to help with understanding | | B．One way to practice with a new idea | | C．One way to learn to be a wise writer | | D．One way to be clearer about worms |
