Well, thats normal. Your body naturally slows down then. What should you do about it? Dont reach for a coffee! Instead, take a nap(小睡). There are many benefits of a daily nap. First of all, you are more efficient after napping. You remember things better and make fewer mistakes. Also, you can learn things more easily after taking a nap. A 20-minute nap can reduce information overload. It can also reduce stress. Finally, a nap may increase your self-confidence and make you more alert. 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 the day, about eight hours after you wake up. Otherwise, you may disturb your sleep-wake pattern. 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 wont have to keep looking at the clock so that you dont oversleep.Now, the next time you feel sleepy after lunch, dont get stressed. Put your head down, close your eyes, and have forty winks.49. What is a good rule for taking a nap?A. Use an alarm clock.B. Nap eight hours after waking up.C. Sleep for about half an hour.D. All of the above50. According to the passage, what is NOT a benefit of napping?A. It makes you stronger B. It makes you feel happierC. It gives you more self-confidence D. It improves your memory 51. Which may happen if an alarm clock is not used?A. You may relax more. B. You may feel too nervous to relax.C. You may forget an important meeting. D. You may not reduce your napping time. C What will man be like in the futurein 5, 000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even 500 years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. 500 years is a relatively(相对的) short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity（能力）. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and at last we shall need larger ones! This is likely to lead to a physical(身体上的) change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald（秃顶的）. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. 52. The passage mainly tells us that_ . A. mans life will be different in the futureB. what will man look like in the futureC. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. humans organs functions will become weak53. The change in mans size of forehead will probably be larger because_ . A. he makes use only 20% of the brains capacityB. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesC. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeD. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on54. What will be TRUE about a human being in the future? A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful. B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses. C. His fingers will grow weaker because he wont have to make use of them. D. He will think and feel in a different way. DThese days, if you still think the cell phone is just for talking, you will get laughed at. Yes, its true, voice-only handsets have become out of date. Todays do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer. The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minutes to use them. Some of the things a cell phone can do for you will be available this year:Surf at speedCell pones that let you use the Web have been around for years. So, whats new? Well, faster third-generation (3G) net works let you surf at anywhere. This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone. Possible choices are from LG Electronic VX 8000 and Motorola V 1150.Listen as you goThe problem with most cell phone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs. But, thats about to change. Sony Ericssons new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory. And Sumsungs SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1.5 GB hard drive. Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens.Say cheeseCamera cell phones are not new either. But, most of them have limitations: around 1-megapixel(百万像素). But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon. Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericssons K750i, offer limited zoom and focus controls. Others, like LGs recent MMA7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full- motion video.Portable TVYou say you like “watching TV”? Thats what Sumsung MM-A700 wants to give you. The new model lets users watch popular TV programsfor a fee. Other choices are Nokias 6620, Sanyos MM 7400 and NECs N940.The NEC model lets you watch public TVno fee.The above are just a handful of what you will see in the coming months. Further down the road, your mobile phone may play a host of other roles, such as mobile credit card, position locator So what is there that a cell phone cant do?55. Which of the following models should you choose to listen to the music?A. Sumsungs SPH-V5400 and Nokias 6620B. S
