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 in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates 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(遭受) 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.

Sixty years ago human beings first reached the top of Mount Qomolangma known as Mount Everest in the West. But the increase in climbers is turning the world’s highest mountain into the “world’s highest junkyard(垃圾场)”.

Every year more than 700 climbers spend nearly two months on Mount Qomolangma. They have left human waste and all kinds of rubbish including oxygen bottles broken tents and plastic bags according to Ang Tshering Sherpa chief of the Nepal Mountaineering Association.

“The waste has become a health danger to people in the area since they depend on water from rivers fed by the melting glaciers(融化的冰川) Sherpa said.

More and more people have realized the danger that Mount Qomolangma is facing and they are now taking active actions. To deal with the problem Nepal has supported a special team of explorers and volunteers to clean the mountain since 2008. So far they have brought down 15000kg of rubbish. Nepal also started to ask each climber to bring down 8 kg of rubbish in 2014.

On the Chinese side of the mountain Tibet(西藏) will collect a cleaning fee of $100-200 (620-1240 yuan) per climber starting from this year. A program named “Mount Qomolangma Action at the Third Pole of the Earth” also started in 2004 to clear up the mountain.

Hopefully human beings will finally solve the problem just as they found the way up the mountain successfully.

As a young woman my mother worked in the kitchen of a large farm owned by Fanny Cratty. She was hardworking and had a special skill in making delicious strawberry jam.

Aunt Fanny was single and had no children. She didn’t like to share love with others. I thought she was very lonely although she didn’t mind it. She had a workshop where my mother helped her make the best strawberry jam and everyone in our town bought it. But aunt Fanny asked my mother not to tell the recipe(秘方) of making the strawberry jam to others.

When the strawberries were ripe my family would pick them together. We talked and laughed experiencing the fun of picking strawberries. But aunt Fanny never joined us. She just asked us to pick strawberries quickly and make more strawberry jam to make more money for her. Each person in our town said that she just paid attention to money rather than anything else. What a poor woman! It’s no use having too much money because she had no family and friends to share her happiness during her lifetime.

Maybe it was the recipe that brought success to aunt Fanny. But to me it was just a common recipe. Money can make you feel rich for a while but it is the beautiful days spent with family and friends that truly make you rich.

1.Who owns the recipe of making the best strawberry jam?

A. The writer’s mother.  B. The writer.

C. Aunt Fanny.            D. Fanny’s mother.

2.Why do people in the town think aunt Fanny is poor?

A. Because she needed to work hard in her workshop.

B. Because she paid attention to nothing except money.

C. Because she had no close friends to shared her success.

D. Because she always thought of helping others rather than herself.

3.—What does the last word “rich” mean in this passage?

—It means ________.

A. the success of making strawberry jam

B. having the recipe and much money

C. the happiness one’s family and friends

D. owning a big house and the large farm
