23、 snow, their own footprints so far away as to raise no suspicions(怀疑).The next morning someone noticed the prints and invited learned professors to come and have a look.

In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist (专家) at the University Of Pennsylvania Schoo
28、l 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 wickedness eleven. “ Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps
29、 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 sleep debt“ which one member said was as important as the national debt
30、. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: 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, President Clinton is trying to take a half hour snooze(打盹) every afternoon.
31、About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “ a mid-afternoon quiet phase“ also called “a secondary sleep gate“. Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap. We don t nap to repl
32、ace 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, and in libraries, offices and museums.60 It is commonly accepted in American society that to
33、o much sleep is_.（A）unreasonable（B） criminal（C） harmful（D）costly61 The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans_.（A）dont like to take naps（B） are terribly worried about their national debt（C） think sleeping less is good for them（D）have caused many industrial and traffic accidents

35、isconception about sleep（B） the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration（C） the rapid development of American industry（D）the Americansworry about the danger of sleepiness63 People often show their feelings by the body positions they adopt. These can contradict(同矛盾) what you are saying, especia
36、lly when you are trying to disguise the way you feel. For example, a very common defensive position , assumed when people feel threatened in some way, is to put your arm or arms across your body. This is a way of shielding yourself from a threatening situation. This shielding action can be disguised
37、 as adjusting one s coif (束发帽) or watch strap. Leaning back in your chair especially with your arms folded is not only defensive, it s also a way of showing your disapproval, of a need to distance yourself from the rest of the company.A position which betrays(显示) an aggressive attitude is to avoid l
38、ooking directly at the person you are speaking to. On the other hand, approval and desire to cooperate are shown by copying the position of the person you are speaking to. This shows mat you agree or are willing to agree with someone. The position of one s feet also often shows me direction of peopl
39、es thoughts. For example, feet or a foot pointing towards the door can indicate that a person wishes to leave me room. The direction in which your foot points can also show which of the people in the room you feel most sympathetic towards, even when you are not speaking direcdy to mat person.64 Body

47、le.Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint wim computer screens.
