22、lways spent their summer holidays in New Jersey(新泽西)in the past, staying in a small inn (旅店) at the foot of a hill. One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business. So they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went travelling around that famous city.The
23、y flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served(提供)after seven.

You can imagine (想像)our alarm( 惊恐 )when Aunt Clara wrote to say that she was coming
28、with her children to stay for the weekend. Her family was not a small one, with four boys all under the age of twelve.I sent off a telegram(电报)at once, explaining that our house was too small. Aunt Clara called us up the next morning. “I forgot to mention(提到 )to you,“ she said in her sweetest voice,
29、 “the boys will be bringing their tents(帐篷).“Even so ,my wife was still worried. It was true we had a large garden, but there was still the problem of feeding(喂养)four growing boys.“And what if it rains? she added.Luckily Saturday morning turned out to be bright and clear when I went to the station t
30、o meet Aunt Clara. I pushed the boys, together with the luggage(行李) ,into the back of the car, with great difficulty of course. The youngest sat in front, with Aunt Clara and me.On the way home.

In fact, sa
33、ys David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “There s even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep“. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wick
34、edness eleven.“Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping“, says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “American
35、sleep debt “which one member said was important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, presiden
36、t Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze(打瞌睡)every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a midafternoon quiet phase “also called“ a secondary sleep gate“. Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make
37、 us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.We superstars of Snooze dont nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we “snack“ on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; a
38、nd in libraries, offices and museums.59 It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is _.（A）unreasonable（B） criminal（C） harmful（D）costly60 The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans _.（A）dont like to take naps（B） are terribly worried about their national debt

40、merican sleep debt(Line 1,Para. 3)is the result of _.（A）the traditional misconception have about sleep（B） the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration（C） the rapid development of American industry（D）the Americans worry about the danger of sleepness63 Many small cultural groups live in places f
41、ar away from modern cities. Some of these tribes have never had any communication outside of their small areas. When they do contact the outside world, their lives usually change. Learning how to change without losing the best of their own cultures is a problem for them.One native tribe in New Guine
42、a has a difficult situation. The people of the tribe are being pulled in two ways. Copper has been discovered under the land where they have lived for centuries. Developers want to take the copper out of the ground, to mine it. The tribe needs the money that a copper mine would bring. The problem is
43、 that the copper is directly under the most important building of their society. These buildings are a necessary part of their religion. How can the copper be mined without changing their religion? A group of people are trying to help the tribe to learn to communicate with the rest of the world. Cul
44、tural Survival, Inc, is the name of the group. The people are anthropologists, scientists who study cultures. The organization wants to teach them how to live in the modern world.There is another organization like this in London. It is called Survival International. One in Copenhagen is called the I
45、nternational Workshop for Local Affairs. These two groups have joined with Cultural Survival Inc. to help people become used to modern culture.These organizations work with another kind of problem, too. Sometimes a central government does not consider the needs of local people in developing new proj
46、ects. Often they suffer a great loss and Cultural Survival, Inc. helps them. Cultural Survival Inc. and its sister organizations also give advice about tourism(旅游业). The tourist business can cause problems. Many small societies need to earn money , but a large group of visitors can hurt their cultur
47、e. Also the local people could use the help of Cultural Survival, Incorporated.63 The passage mainly discusses about _.（A）how Cultural Survival, Inc. helped a tribe to solve the problem of copper mining（B） why local cultures should be saved（C） the work of Cultural Survival, Inc（D）the difficulties in
