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.
The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is______.
选项
A、preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shift
B、good practice to eat something light before we go to bed
C、essential to make up for cost sleep
D、natural to take a nap whenever we Teel the need for it
答案
D
解析
本题属细节性问题。最后一段的大意是:我们这些打瞌睡的超级明星打瞌睡并不是为了弥补睡眠,或上夜班,而是对睡眠的“补充营养”,任何时候,任何地方想睡就睡。我本人更是在任何地方打过瞌唾,在公共汽车上、小汽车上、飞机上和船上;在地板上和床上;包括在图书馆,办公室和博物馆。作者想说明的是:我们感到需要时打瞌睡是非常自然的事情。
