Passage 2Do you sleep between seven to nine hours per night? According to the experts, this is the amount needed, on average, to keep our minds alert and our bodies healthy — but many people aren't getting enough.In the United States, for example, half the population sleeps less than seven hours during the week, according to the 2013 International Bedroom Poll. To make up, many of them resort to catching up when circumstances allow — whether it's sleeping in at the weekend or napping during the day. But this catch-up can have its own impact on your body and when this catch-up becomes too much, it could even be a sign of a hidden health problem.The much-loved weekend snooze (小睡) stems from the need to catch up on sleep lost during the week. "That's an attempt to pay back sleep deprivation," says Charles Czeisler, chief of the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, in Boston. But Czeisler is not an advocate of sleeping late at the weekend. He calls it "sleep binging (放纵)" and says it's a break from consistency that leads to further disruption of our sleep cycles.The extra hours of sleep, but more importantly the later time of awakening, at the weekend, lead to confusion in the body when people return to their weekday routine — something Czeisler defines as "social jet lag.""If you're getting up at 6 am and then noon, that's the equivalent of Boston to Paris in time zones," he says. Making a habit of this is not a healthy lifestyle to lead, according to Czeisler. "This has adverse health consequences ... it's better to have consistency of sleep," he says.It's worth paying attention to the hours you spend sleeping, and in bed, as a means of monitoring and maintaining your health and well-being. "Duration, timing and quality of sleep are the key factors," says Czeisler.More studies are needed to truly understand the causes of the links seen between excessive sleep and various health conditions, but for the time being it may be wise to avoid those weekend binges and instead inject some routine into your dreams.(1) (单选题)According to the experts, how many sleeping hours are considered to be unhealthy per night?A.Six hours.B.Seven hours.C.Eight hours.D.Nine hours.(2) (单选题)Why do many Americans love to sleep late at the weekend?A.Because they want to live a healthy life.B.ecause they want to keep consistency of sleep.C.Because they want to better prepare for the work in the following week.D.Because they want to make up for the sleeping time lost in previous days.(3) (单选题)What does Czeisler mean by saying "social jet lag" in Para. 4?A.Confusion resulting from a long-distance airplane travel.B.Tiredness resulting from the lack of sleep in the weekday.C.Discomfort resulting from changes of sleeping patterns.D.Social stress related to the weekday routine.(4) (单选题)According to the passage, what might be considered as a healthy sleeping habit?A.Sleep late at the weekend.B.Having a nap at noon.C.Sleeping more than eight hours per night.D.Having a regular sleep pattern.(5) (单选题)What do we learn about sleep fron this passage?A.The sleep quality is more important than the time.B.The more we sleep, the healthier we will be.C.A frequent desire to sleep late could be a sign of a health problem.D.Most people have satisfactory sleep during the weekday and the weekend.A. ①③B. ①④C. ②③D. ②④

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

  • "There is a senseless concept that children grow up and leave home when they're 18,and the truth is far from that,"says sociologist Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin.Today,unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents."There is a major change in the middle class,"declares sociologist Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University,whose son,19,moved back in after an absence of eight months.Analysts list a variety of reasons for this return to the nest.The marriage age is rising,a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people.A high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters.For some,the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so extremely great that many students now attend local schools.Even after graduation,young people find their wings clipped(夹住) by skyrocketing housing costs.Living at home,says Knighton,a school teacher,continues to give her security and moral support.Her mother agreed,"It's ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent.It makes sense for kids to stay at home."But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all.There are the hassles over bathrooms,telephones and privacy.Some families,however,manage the delicate balancing act.But for others,it proves too difficult.Michelle Del Turco,24,has been home three times-and left three times."What I considered a social drink,my dad considered an alcohol problem,"she explains."He never liked anyone I dated,so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends'houses."Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on?Most psychologists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake.Children struggling to establish separate identities,can end up with"a sense of inadequacy,defeat and failure."And aging parents,who should be enjoying some financial and personal freedom,find themselves stuck with responsibilities.Many agree that brief visits,however,can work beneficially.63.According to the author,there was once a trend (趋势) in the U.S ____ .A.for middle class young adults to stay with their parents.B.for young adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents.C.for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence.D.for young adults to leave their parents and live independently.64.Which of the following does not account for young adults returning to the nest? ____ A.Young adults find housing costs too high.B.Quite a number of young adults attend local schools.C.Young adults are psychologically and intellectually immature.D.Young adults seek parental comfort and moral support.65.One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to stay with their parents is that ____ .A.the young adults tend to be overprotected by their parentsB.there will unavoidably be inconveniences in everyday lifeC.most parents find it difficult to keep a bigger family goingD.public opinion is against young adults staying with their parents66.The word"hassles"in the passage (Para.3,Line 4)probably means ____ .A.agreementsB.worriesC.disadvantagesD.quarrels
