21、The benefits of taking a nap.
Naps can charge your brain’s batteries
Taking a nap may make you more alert for the period right after you wake up and maybe hours into the day. A short sleep may also make you feel more relaxed.
You’ll have lower risk for heart problems
Taking a nap once or twice a week could lower the risk of heart attacks or strokes, according to a 2019 study published in the journal Heart.
After tracking more than 3,400 people between the ages of 35 and 75 for slightly more than five years, the researchers found that those who indulged in occasional napping -- once or twice a week, for five minutes to an hour -- were 48% less likely than those who didn’t nap to experience a heart attack, stroke or heart failure.
It might even help you get into shape
A 2020 study focusing on women found the more sleep-deprived the women were, the more likely they were to consume added sugar, fatty foods and caffeine.
A lack of quality sleep could lead to overeating because inadequate sleep is believed to stimulate hunger and suppress hormone signals that communicate fullness. The findings were important because women are at high risk for obesity and sleep disorders, the researchers said, which can both be driven by a high intake of food. Napping has been found to improve the overall quality of even nighttime sleep.
And boost your creativity
The right side of your brain might experience a mental spark during a nap, research has suggested. The right side is the hemisphere most associated with creative tasks, such as visualization and thinking, while the left is more analytic.
Researchers monitoring the brain activity of 15 people found that the right side of their brain communicated busily with itself as well as with its left counterpart. The left side of the brain, however, remained relatively quiet. In a January 2020 study of 2,214 Chinese adults ages 60 and older, participants who took afternoon naps for five minutes to two hours showed better mental agility than those who didn’t nap.
【1】What was the study in 2019 based on?

D．sleep rate
【2】Accordingto the 2020 study, the sleep-deprived women like eating ________ .
A．fruit and sea food
B．vegetable and wine
C．dessert and coffee
D．noodles and snacks
【3】How did the author develop the last paragraph?
A．By description.
B．By making comparison.
C．By showing figures.
D．By offering an example.
22、It was a hot, humid day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickez’s pasture(牧场) and through some woods.
The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull. Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, maybe even the county, and we believed him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something doubtful about his claim. For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull.
Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr. Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “I’m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.” I told my mom.
“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone. I gave in and we set out. On our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.
We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn’t been too bad. She’s been one of my best friends over the years.
【1】What’s the second problem the author has to face?
A. His mother insisted on his cousin going with him.

【2】What does the author think of Elsie in the end?
A. Aggressive. B. Unkind.
C. Bad-tempered. D. Friendly.
【3】What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The bull guarding Mr. Blickez’s farm.
B. The story of visiting the swimming hole.
C. How friendly the so-called mean bull was.
D. How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.

24、In principle, it sounds simple: eat less and move more. This dietary advice for handling obesity has been around for decades. Yet, despite all the calorie counting, dieting and exercising, worldwide obesity rates just keep soaring up. In a recent paper, researchers question the basic assumption of whether taking in more calories than you burn really is the primary cause of obesity. They argue that the evidence actually points the other way: we are driven to overeat because we are getting fatter.
This may seem incredible, but consider the rapid adolescent growth. As their growth rate speeds up, teenagers may eat much more than they used to. Does this “overeating” cause the rapid growth?
Or does the rapid growth make teens hungrier so they eat more? Clearly the latter, as adults won’t grow taller, no matter how much they eat. A few hours after eating a high-carb meal, the number of calories in the blood stream drops dramatically, so we get hungrier sooner. From this perspective, the difficulty resisting hunger that so many dieters have isn’t a sign of poor discipline, but rather a biological problem involving how our bodies distribute the calories we consume. A low-calorie, low-fat diet further restricts an already limited supply of energy, worsening hunger without addressing the underlying tendency to store too many calories in body fat. Consequently, weight loss becomes a battle between mind and metabolism (新陈代谢) that most people will probably lose.
Although much more research will be needed to test this controversial idea, it is time to question the basic assumptions about cause and effect, calories and weight gain that have dominated our thinking for decades.
【1】What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A．It is extremely tough to deal with overweight.
B．Eating less and moving more will make you lose weight.
C．We are forced to eat more food because we are getting fatter.
D．Taking in more calories than you burn is the main cause of obesity.
【2】Why is it difficult for dieters to resist hunger according to the text?
A．Because the dieters are fond of eating a high-carb meal.
B．Because some of the dieters are weak in self-discipline.
C．Because the number of calories in the blood drops dramatically.
D．Because the case is more related to the distribution of calories taken in.
【3】What can we learn about a low-calorie, low-fat diet according to Paragraph 3?
A．It causes people to feel hungrier.
B．It solves the tendency for too much fat.
C．It provides the energy people need.
D．It makes people lose their metabolism.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the cause and effect between calories and weight gain?
A．Supportive.
B．Doubtful.
C．Objective.
D．Indifferent.
