Question

    Did you sleep well last night? Or did you wake up feeling tired?  Getting a good night’s sleep requires more than getting into bed and closing your eyes. Understanding your sleep behavior and preparing for a sound sleep can help make sure every night is a good night for sleeping.

“Sleep is a kind of behavior and it is different among people,”explains Dr. Carol Landis, a sleep researcher professor.“The greatest differences happen in the timing (时间选择) of sleep and the amount (数量) of sleep.”Some people function better if they go to sleep early and rise early, while others feel more rested (精力充沛的) if they stay up late and sleep in. The amount of sleep the adults need each night is also different. Some people may be fine with six hours’sleep, while others need up to nine hours’sleep per night.

Landis offers the following advice on practicing falling asleep well:

Avoid coffee and food such as chocolate in the late afternoon and evening.

Finish exercising two hours before going to sleep. Exercise increases body temperatures and makes it more difficult to fall asleep easily.

Don’t sleep in a warm environment. A drop in a person’s body temperature is important at the beginning of deep sleep. People who sleep in a well-heated room may not sleep well.

Catch up on missed sleep when you have the chance. Busy work or busy weekend activities often make it difficult to get as much sleep as we’d like each night. Try taking a 30-minute short sleep during the day before 4 pm or sleeping in on weekends.

【解析】

本文讲述了如何有个好的睡眠。想要睡个好觉需要的不仅仅是上床睡觉和闭上眼睛。了解自己的睡眠行为，为良好的睡眠做准备，可以帮助人们确保每晚都是一个良好的睡眠之夜。睡眠是一种行为，人与人之间是不同的，兰迪斯为大家提供了以下关于睡眠的建议：避免在傍晚和晚上喝咖啡或吃巧克力等食物。睡觉前两小时完成锻炼。有机会的时候弥补错过的睡眠。

1.词句猜测题。“more than”表示“超过”，“getting into bed”表示“上床睡觉”，“closing your eyes”表示“闭上眼睛”；主语是“Getting a good night’s sleep”，意为“想要睡个好觉”，整句的意思是：想要睡个好觉需要的不仅仅是上床睡觉和闭上眼睛。即上床睡觉和闭上眼睛并不足以保证晚上睡个好觉，故选B。

2.推理判断题。根据“Sleep is a kind of behavior and it is different among people”可知睡眠是一种行为，人与人之间是不同的，所以本段主要讲的是人们睡眠的差异，故选D。

3.推理判断题。根据“Finish exercising two hours before going to sleep. ”可知睡前两小时不能运动，与选项A内容相符，所以选项A正确；根据“Avoid coffee and food such as chocolate in the late afternoon and evening.”可知避免在傍晚和晚上喝咖啡或吃巧克力等食物，与选项B内容不相符，所以选项B错误；根据“Don’t sleep in a warm environment. ”可知不要在温暖的环境中睡觉，与选项C内容不相符，所以选项C错误；根据“Try taking a 30-minute short sleep during the day before 4 pm or sleeping in on weekends.”可知在下午4点之前或周末睡个30分钟，与选项D内容不相符，所以选项D错误；故选A。

4.主旨大意题。根据“Understanding your sleep behavior and preparing for a sound sleep can help make sure every night is a good night for sleeping.”及“Landis offers the following advice on practicing falling asleep well”可知给了一些睡眠的建议，可推测出本文主要是如何有一个好的睡眠，故选C。
