Ricky lived in a beautiful house.Though he didn`t help much around the house,he was still pleased when his parents bought him a butler(管家)robot.Since it arrived,cooking,cleaning and gathering up old clothes from Ricky`s bedroom floor were all done by the robot.On that first day,Ricky had left his bedroom in a truly disastrous(灾难性) state before he went to sleep.When he woke up the next morning,everything was perfectly clean and tidy.
In fact,it was too clean;Ricky couldn`t find his favorite T-shirt,nor his favorite toy.The same was starting to happen to other things.Ricky stared at the robot and decided to spy on〔监视〕〕 it.He followed it around the house.Finally he caught it red-handed(当场) the robot was picking up one of his toys to hide it.
Ricky ran to his parents and said that the robot was badly programmed.Hearing the boy`s complaints〔抱怨〕,the robot returned with one of the boy`s toys and some clothes.
“Here,Sir.I didn`t know it was bothering you,〞said the robot,with its metallic(金属般)voice.
“You have been stealing my stuff 〔东西〕for weeks!〞the boy answered,very angry.
“They were left on the floor.I thought you didn`t like them.I am programmed to collect all that are not wanted and send them to those who need them.I am a maximu efficiency(最大效率)machine.Do you see〞the robot explained,with a certain pride〔自豪〕.
Ricky started feeling ashamed of having treated those things as though they were useless.It was true that many other people would be delighted to treat those things with all the care in the world.He understood that the robot was not misprogrammed,and that,or rather,it had been programmed extremely well!Since then,Ricky decided to become a maximum efficiency boy.

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoonMany people feel this way after lunch.They may think that eating lunch is the cause of sleepiness.Or,in summer,they may think it is the heat.However,the real reason lies inside their bodies.At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down.This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments〔实验〕 where there was no night or day.The people in these experiments almost followed a similar sleeping pattern(模式).They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world,people take naps(小睡；打盹)in the middle of the day.This is especially true in warmer climates〔气候〕,where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon.Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate.A daily nap gives one more rested body and mind and therefore(因此)is good for health in general.In countries where naps are traditional,people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.Many working people,unfortunately,have no time to take naps.Though doctors may advise taking naps,employers(雇主) do not allow it!If you do have the chance,here are a few tips about making the most of your nap.Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up.A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward.This can also happen if you sleep too long.If you do not have enough time,try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
29.Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon
A.Because you eat too much for lunch. B.Because it`s hot in summer.
C.Because your body temperature goes down at that time. D.Because you didn`t have a good sleep last night.
30.What can we learn about “naps〞 according to the last paragraph
A.All people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.
B.Doctors need to take naps while employers don`t.
C.If you take naps every day,you`ll never suffer from heart disease.
D.Taking naps regulary is beneficial to people`s health.
31.What can we infer(推断) from the passage
A.You`ll feel sleepy at regular intervals(间隔).
B.Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.
C.You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.
D.If you get up at 6:30 am,you`d better take a nap at about 1:30 pm.
32.What would be the best title for the text
A.Just for a Rest B.All for a NapC.A Special Sleep Pattern D.Taking Naps in Warmer Climate
D

The Winner`s Guide to Success
Do you know what makes people successfulTo find out the answers,an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people around the world. 36
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead.In fact,when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success,you`re giving away your own power. 37
Write a plan
It is very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan.It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 38 Without this “map〞,you may waste your time,money and also your energy;while with the “map〞you`ll enjoy the “trip〞 and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
Be willing to pay the price
39 So you must be ready to work hard even harder than you have ever done.If you are not willing to pay the price,you won`t get anything valuable.
40

B. Nothing is easy to get.
C. A good plan is like a map to you.
