问题     American society is not nap-friendly (喜欢午睡). "In fact", says David Dinges, a sleep specialist in U.S.A. "There’s even a prohibition (禁止) against admitting we need sleep. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work."
    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. At present, experts and researchers are becoming more and more concerned about the dangers of sleepiness (睡眠不足): 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 Bush is trying to take a half-hour nap every afternoon.
    About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. Actually, sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed (神清气爽的). Clearly, we were born to nap.
The purpose of this article is to
选项 A、warn us not to nap at work
B、explain the danger of sleepiness
C、discuss the side effects of napping
D、make the reader believe the necessity of napping
答案D
解析 主旨题。本题要求辨别此文的写作意图。通读课文，第一段指出：美国 是一个不喜欢午睡的社会。第二段指出这种说法是错误的，“wrong” 一词表明作者持批判态度。第三段指出了睡眠少所引发的危害：各种工 业和交通事故。而最后一段，作者更是明确态度，说明午睡的必要和好 处。所以该文章的目的是[D]项“使读者相信午睡的必要性”。
