For millions of years before the appearance of the electric light, shift work, all-night cable TV and the Internet, the Earth’s creatures evolved on a planet with predictable and reassuring 24-hour rhythms. Our biological clocks are set for this daily cycle. Simply put, our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives.(Contrary to popular belief, humans don’t need less sleep as they age.)
But on average, Americans sleep only about seven and a half hours per night, a marked drop from the nine hours they averaged in 1910. What’s worse, nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people, that’s not nearly enough.
Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are genetic. But many problems are caused by staying up late and sleeping in, by traveling frequently between time zones or by working nights. Dr. James. F. Jones at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver says that sleep disorders are often diagnosed as other discomforts. About one third of the patients referred to him with possible chronic fatigue syndrome actually have treatable sleep disorders. "Before we do anything else, we look at their sleep," Jones says.
Sleep experts say that most people would benefit from a good look at their sleep patterns. "My motto(座右铭)is ’Sleep defensivejy’," says Mary Carskadon of Brown University. She says people need to carve out sufficient time to sleep, even if it means giving up other things. Sleep routines—like going to bed and getting up at the same time every day—are important. Pre-bedtime activities also make a difference. As with Elaner, who used to suffer from sleeplessness, a few lifestyle changes—avoiding stimulants and late meals, exercising hours before bedtime, relaxing with a hot bath—yield better sleep.
For our bodies to function properly, we should______.
选项
A、sleep for at least eight hours per night
B、believe that we need less sleep as we age
C、adjust our activities to the new inventions
D、be able to predict the rhythms of our biological clocks
答案
A
解析
在文章第一段中已经指出了:“Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives.”大部分的男人和女人一个晚上需要8~8.5小时的睡眠才能安全地度过一生。可见,如果我们的身体要正常运行,我们应该每晚至少睡8小时。A项的意思与原文相符相符。B项的意思与原文相反,D项的内容与原文不符,C项的内容在文章中没有提及。所以本题的正确答案应该是A。
