Just a Quick Nap（打個盹兒）
　　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.
小題1: After taking a nap, you may feel more 　　　　.
A．tiredB．confident
C．sleepyD．excited
小題2:The proper period of time for taking a nap is 　　　.
A．the shorter the better
B．a(chǎn)s long as you like
C．the longer the better
D．a(chǎn)bout twenty minutes

小題1:B

A
The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.
There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!  
But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited( 限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don’t want to work, and you stay in bed, feeling very sad.
What makes us ill? It is germs(細菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a mi­croscope(顯微鏡). They are very very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.
Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.
Germs can be found not only in water but also in air and dust(灰塵). If you cut your finger, if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut(割開處), some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body, and you would have pain everywhere.
小題1:Which of the following is true?
A．If things are very very small, they are germs.
B．If things can’t be seen, they must be germs.

Are you carrying too much on your back at school? I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”. Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.
Doctors are starting to worry about young students’ back and neck because their school bags are too heavy for them.
“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my heavy bag,” said Rick Hammond, an ll-year-old student in the USA.
Rick is among students who have school bags with two straps(帶子),and many other students choose rolling(有滾輪的) bags.
But even with rolling bags ,getting upstairs is still a problem for children .Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight (重量)。
Scott Bautch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should carry no more than 10% of their weight and older children shouldn’t stay with over 15% , because their bodies are still growing.

Once a baby cries, the parents will go to see what happened as soon as possible. According to a new study, a baby’s cry can make adults react very quickly, even if they are not related(相關的).
Oxford University researchers used a game called Whack-a-mole for the study. The game needs people to hit one buttons(按鈕). The players must react as quickly as they can to hit the button that lights up at random(隨機的). It is a game that requires speed and accuracy(準確度).
The study included 40 men and women volunteers aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters but none had a baby at the time. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including babies’ crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birds’ song that sounds like babies’ crying.
The volunteer’ scores  were higher after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had similar scores. The results showed that a crying baby gets special attention.
“Few sounds make people react quite like the cry of a baby,” said Morten Kringelbach of Oxford’s psychiatry department, who led the study.
He added that a baby’s cry can increase adults’ heart rate and blood pressure. This is understandable, because in the course of human evolution(進化), taking care of babies has always been an important job for adults. When a baby is hungry or feeling bored or unwell, it will cry. As a result, human brains and bodies develop a special reaction to a baby’s cry.
小題1:According to the passage, how many volunteers took part in the study?
A．80B．40 C．19D．59
小題2:In the passage, the underlined word react means__________.
A．表演B．打擊C．反應D．演示
小題3:The game “whack-a-mole” shows__________.
A．a(chǎn) baby’s cry can get special attention from adults
B．men and women have different reaction speed and accuracy
C．a(chǎn)dults without babies react more quickly to a baby’s cry
D．women react to a baby’s cry more quickly than men
小題4:According to the passage, a baby’s cry__________.
A．can get the same attention from adults as the birds’ song
B．is the noisiest sound
C．can increase adults’ heart rate and blood pressure
D．is good for its health
小題5:From the last paragraph, we learn that_________.
A．taking care of the younger babies was the most important thing in the past
B．human brains and bodies have developed to take care of babies
C．baby cries are a good way make adults react quickly
D．baby cries have developed a lot during the course of human evolution
