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 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 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 a important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness people causing industrial accidents of failing asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the Whiter 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 shuteye 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.
选项
A、unreasonable
B、criminal
C、harmful
D、costly
答案
B
解析
根据第一段末句,有人睡5小时,生物本能需要睡7小时,懒惰的入睡9小时,不正常的人睡11小时,多睡不合情理。A为答案。注意wickedness在这里指一种社会渣滓,而不是罪犯,故不能选B。
