Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note

【阅读理解插花】

Some of us feel well-rested after a solid eight hours of sleep. For others, closer to nine feels best. For others still, a little less will do. How much sleep we prefer to get is highly subjective. But how much sleep we need is a bit more concrete.

“Sleep time was one of the most visited pages on the NSF website, but it wasn’t really clear how those recommendations had been arrived at. ” Max Hirshkowitz, a sleep expert said.

To reassure that the information provided there was the most accurate and up to date, a group of 18 experts conducted a formal literature review. They focused on the body of research surrounding sleep duration in healthy human subjects that had been published in peer-reviewed journals between 2004 and 2014. Then they were able to fine-tune existing sleep duration recommendations as detailed below:

Newborns (0-3 months): 14-17 hours (range narrowed from 12-18)

Infants (4-11 months): 12-15 hours (range widened from 14-15)

Toddlers (1-2 years): 11-14 hours (range widened from 12-14)

Preschoolers (3-5): 10-13 hours (range widened from 11-13)

School-age Children (6-13): 9-11 hours (range widened from 10-11)

Teenagers (14-17): 8-10 hours (range widened from 8. 5-9. 5)

Young Adults (18-25): 7-9 hours (new age category)

Adults (26-64): 7-9 hours (no change)

“It’s the first time that any professional organization has developed age-specific recommended sleep durations” Hirshkowitz said, “It’s not an exact science, but it’s a start. Like most things, it’s successive approximation that gets you to the goal. The first time somebody built a wristwatch, it wasn’t very good, but after hundreds of years of making precise changes, to have a timepiece that doesn’t tell time is pretty unusual. ” As more and more research is conducted around sleep duration, subsequent minor changes will be made, he said, helping experts to zero in on the absolute best recommendations to give to patients.

【文章大意】本文中作者介绍了一些专家通过对发表在2004年到2014年期间杂志上对人们需要多长时间的睡眠给出的科学依据。

1. What can we know from the first paragraph?

C. The sleep we need is uncertain in length.

D. The sleep we need is unimportant in significance.

【解析】选A。推理判断题。第一段提到有的人睡8小时就会精力充沛, 有的人则更多, 也有的人会更少, 由此可判断出我们需要的睡眠时长是因人而异的。

2. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “duration” in Paragraph 3?

A. Habit. 　　 B. Period.

C. Quality. 　　 D. Problem.

【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据下文列出的不同人群的睡眠时间可知该词指“期间, 持续的时间”。

3. The example of the wristwatch shows that ________.

C. continuous effort makes perfect

D. practice makes perfect

【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据本段中的“Like most things, it’s successive approximation that gets you to the goal. ”和下文的解释可知是人们对手表进行不断的改进和完善才有了如今精准的手表, 这说明事物都需要一个逐步完善和改进的过程。

4. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To tell people how important sleep quality is.

B. To tell people how much sleep we need.

C. To tell people how sleep experts do experiments.
