26、 When you feel that midafternoon slump(消沉) is coming on, should you fight it and get on with your day, or lie on the couch for a while. This may not be a problem that a huge number of people fight with regularly. But a new study suggests that if you’re watching your blood pressure, taking a midday nap may be a step in the right direction.
It’s long been known that naps, when done right, can leave you feeling fresh and energetic. Whether they can carry any immediate cardiovascular(心血管的) benefits has been less clear, even though this could affect the health of millions of people around the world.
“We all know that lifestyle changes stand for the basis of treatment for high blood pressure,” says Manolis Kallistratos, MD, an expert at Asklepieion General Hospital in Voula, Greece. “We also know that certain cultures have the habit of sleep during midday.” These two observations led Dr. Kallistratos and his colleagues to survey the effects of napping on blood pressure in a number of different ways.
On March 18, a study was showed at the American College of Cardiology 2019 meeting in New Orleans. Scientists wanted to find out whether taking a nap can influence people whose blood pressure is fairly well controlled, but who could still benefit from lower levels. The study included 212 adults with an average age of 62, whose average systolic blood pressure was 129. 9 mmHg. The researchers found that people who napped had systolic blood pressure that was 5. 3 mmHg lower, on average than in those who didn’t nap.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The coach. B. The new study. C. A midday nap. D. Midafternoon slump.
【2】Why does the author mention Dr. Kallistratos’ words?
A. To introduce some Dr. Kallistratos’ findings.
B. To provide the reason for Dr. Kallistratos’ research.
C. To show us some advice on keeping healthy.
D. To tell us the effects of napping on blood pressure.
【3】What did the study on March 18 want to find out?
A. People who napped are unhealthy.
B. People taking a nap have the lowest blood pressure.
C. Taking a nap is good for health.
D. To tell us the effects of napping on blood pressure.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A. Taking a nap may help lower blood pressure.
B. Taking nap can make you weak.
C. Taking a nap can make your blood pressure higher.
D. Taking a nap may cause a problem.
27、 As most people know, in the past Chinese women had no right to receive formal education. 【1】 One piece of evidence is Nüshu — literally “female script” — a written language only used by women.
A Nüshu museum opened in Puwei Island, Jiangyong county, Hunan province in May 2007. This beautiful island was home to many famous Nüshu authors. This year, according to Xinhua, many tourists visited the museum to appreciate the unique culture of Nüshu.
Known as “the world’s only surviving characters simply for women”, this slim script was developed from standard written Chinese. Centuries ago, Nüshu was taught to girls by elderly women in their homes. During village gatherings, women would use the characters to write poems or lyrics. 【2】
Worried that this ancient culture will soon disappear, Zhao Liming, a professor at Tsinghua University, started a project in 2017, hoping to keep Nüshu alive. 【3】 Designed by Talkmate, a Beijing-based online language education platform, its purpose is to teach Nüshu to more people.
【4】 For example, people often misjudge the characters as “the symbols of some secret cult (邪教)”. The truth is that many old poems written in Nüshu were created by women who wanted to express the difficulties they faced, and how they made it through those hardships. Zhao hopes the app will help people look past these old rumors.
“The words were full of encouragement and positive energy, and showed an uncommon open-mindedness among women at the time,” Zhao said.
Ji Xianlin, the late linguist (语言学家), once wrote that Nüshu is a feminist (女权主义者) symbol, since “it was created by talented women deprived (剥夺) of the right to education.” 【5】
A. Many rumors were spread about Nüshu.
B. The project has made a great achievement.
C. But this doesn’t mean they made no efforts to learn.
D. One of the project’s biggest achievements is an app.
E. In this case men couldn’t understand their meanings.
F. This might be why the ancient script still has value in modern times.
G. This way they expressed the feelings they usually kept hidden from men.
28、 My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and begged for help. “Please God, I can’t do any thing more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I cried and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of nay hands. ”For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That's when I knew I had to make you proud.”

A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
