American society does not treat nap friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist (专家) 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 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(打盹) 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 don’ t nap to replace 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 purpose of this article is to______.
选项
A、warn us of the wickedness of napping
B、explain the danger of sleepiness
C、discuss the side effects of napping
D、convince the reader of the necessity of napping
答案
D
解析
从文章的整体来说,作者强调了nap的好处。“The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them”.“About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opporunity.”说明人们应该在合适的时候稍微的睡一会。用总统克林顿的习惯来证明,小睡一会的必要性。故正确的答案为D。
