American society is not nap (午睡) friendly. "In fact", says 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 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 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, 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 (打瞌睡) every afternoon.
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 Superstars of Snooze don’t 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; and in libraries, offices and museums.
It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is______.
选项
A、unreasonable
B、criminal
C、harmful
D、costly
答案
A
解析
本题届细节性问题。本题要求判断在美国社会中,人们普遍认为睡眠是一种什么样的行为。首先应排除C项(有害)和D项(代价昂贵)。依据文章第一段最后一句Some sleep five hours,nature requires seven,laziness nine and wickedness eleven.(有入说5个小时,生物本能需要7个小时,如果睡9个小时,人们说你懒鬼,如果睡了11个小时,人们说你邪恶)。应该明确:邪恶并不等于criminal,也就是说,睡眠太多是邪恶的事并不等于就是犯了罪,而应该理解成
