Sincerely yours,

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.

In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates(氣候), where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.

Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

1.Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?

A. They eat too much for lunch.

B. They sleep too little at night.

D. The weather becomes a lot warmer.

2.If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?

What is standard English? Is it spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand? Believe it or not, there is no 1.thing as standard English. Many people believe the English2.on TV and the radio is standard English. This is because in the early days of radio, people 3.(report) the news were expected to speak excellent English.4. ,on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak.

When people use words and expressions different 5.the "standard language ",it is called a dialect. American English 6.(have) many dialects, the midwestern , southern, African American, Spanish dialects. Even in some parts of the USA, two people from neighbouring towns speak a little7.(different).

Geography also plays a part in making dialects. Some people8.live in the mountains of the USA speak with an older part English dialect. When Americans moved from one place to another, they9.(take) their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak almost the same dialects 10.people in the northwestern USA. The USA is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken. Although many Americans move a lot, they still recognize and understand each other's dialects.

Our planet is home to about seven billion people. Since the 1990s, population experts have predicted the number would grow to nine billion before it begins to slow down and possibly decrease.

But a new report predicts the world’s population is likely to increase to almost 11 billion by 2100. Based on the most modern statistical tools, the new report makes use of government records and considers expert predictions, including death rates, birthrates and international migration, or people moving across borders. The report says during the rest of this century, Africa's population will grow from about 3.5 billion to 5.1 billion over the next 85 years

John is director of the United Nations Population Division. He says that in the past, researchers thought population growth in Africa would be similar to that of other areas. They expected slower growth rates as birth control use became more widespread. But he says those ideas were wrong.

“The level of contraception use has continued to increase but slowly — more slowly than expected, and birthrate therefore has been falling less rapidly than expected, and the population therefore continues to grow somewhat more rapidly than we expected.The new findings are based on a joint research project of the United Nations and the University of Washington.

The researchers believe the population of Asia will reach five billion by 2050. That is up from the current 4.4 billion. And then begin to decline. The researchers also believe that North America, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean area will have a total population of below one billion.

John says the pressure of feeding the rising population is likely to be less than that might be expected.

“The relatively good news is that the world has been winning the race between population growth and food production. If you look back historically over the last 50 years, certainly for the world as a whole and for many, most individual countries and regions, the increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population.‖”

1.Which area will experience the largest increase in population at the end of the century?

A. Asia. B. Africa. C. Europe. D. North America.

2.“Contraception use‖ in the fourth paragraph refers to ________.

A. a method of expert predictions

B. a way of avoiding growth in population

C. a joint research into the rising population

D. a potential technology for food production

3.Why is the pressure of feeding the rising population less than expected according to John?

A. Expert predictions are not exactly like what the facts happen.

B. Birthrates have always been falling less rapidly than we expected.

C. The population grows less rapidly than population experts expected.

D. The increase in food production has outpaced the increase of population.

4.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The world’s population will increase constantly.

B. The population of Asia will rise by 5 billion by 2050.

C. John is optimistic about feeding the rising population.

D. Population growth in Africa was much slower than expected.
