Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch．They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness．Or，in summer，they may think it is the heat．However，the real reason lies inside their bodies．At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down．This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy．Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day．The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern．They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later．
In many parts of the world，people take naps in the middle of the day．This is especially true in warmer climates，where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon．Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate．A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general．In countries where naps are traditional，people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease． Many working people，unfortunately，have no time to take naps．Though doctors may advise taking naps，employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance，however，here are a few tips about making the most of your nap．Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up．A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward，This can also happen if you sleep for too long．If you do not have enough time，try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．
Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?

What can we learn about“naps”according to the last paragraph?

What can we infer from the passage?

What would be the best title for the text?

Across Britain，burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers．But，according to a new study，we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year．
Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work．Now，the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours，they would earn as much as￡172，000 a year．
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do，as well as the hours they are working，to determine the figure．This would make their yearly income￡30，000 more than the Prime Minister earns．
By analysing the numbers，it found the average mother works 119 hours a week，40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime．After questioning 1，000 mothers with children under 18，it found that，on most days，mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm．
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour，it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on，including housekeeper，part-time lawyer，personal trainer and entertainer．Being a part-time lawyer，at￡48．98 an hour，would prove to be the most profitable of the“mum jobs”，with psychologist(心理学家)a close second．
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face，with 80 percent making emotional(情感的)demand as the hardest thing about motherhood．
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends．
The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day．The emotional，physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending，but children are also sources of great joy and happiness．Investing(投入)in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent．
How much does a Prime Minister earn，according to the passage?

The biggest challenge for most mothers is from_____．

What is stressed in the last paragraph?

What can we conclude from the study?

You are a new manager at the American branch of your German firm in Chicago．With a few minutes to spare between meetings，you go to get a quick cup of coffee．
“Hey，David，how are you?”one of the senior partners at the firm asks you．
“Good，thank you，Dr．Greer，”you reply．You’ve really been wanting to make a connection with the senior leadership at the firm，and this seems like a great opportunity．But as you start to think of something to say，your American colleague breaks in to steal your spotlight．
“So Arnold”，your colleague says to your boss，in such a casual manner that it makes your German soul cringe(畏缩)，“So what’s your Super bowl prediction? I mean，you’re a Niners fan，right?”
The conversation moves on，and you walk silently back to your desk with your coffee．You know how important small talk is in the U．S．，and you feel jealous of people you’re your colleague who can do it well．
There’s nothing small about the role that small talk plays in American professional culture．People from other countries are often surprised at how important small talk is in the U．S．and how naturally and comfortably people seem to do it—with peers，men，women，and even with superiors．You can be the most technically skilled worker in the world，but your ability to progress in your job in the United States is highly dependent on your ability to build and maintain positive relationships with people at work．And guess what skill is critical for building and maintaining these relationships? Small talk．
What can you do if you are from another culture and want to learn to use small talk in the U．S．to build relationships and establish trust? Work hard to hone(磨练)your own version of American-style small talk．Watch how others do it．You don’t have to mimic what they do；in fact，that would likely backfire because people would see you as inauthentic．But if you can develop your own personal version，that can go a long way toward making you feel comfortable and competence．
The author introduces the topic of the passage by______．

What do we know about German people?

What makes people from other countries surprised in American professional culture?

What does“backfire”underlined in the last paragraph mean?

Four Habits to Help You Succeed
We a11 want to succeed，whether it’s in losing weight or learning the guitar．For those who have tried and failed，success seems difficult to understand．Why does one person succeed while another person fails?
1．Identify your core values．
Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation． Pick a handful of things and actually write them down．Remind yourself of your values every day，and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work．
2．Pick a goal and focus on it．
Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment，while adjusting well to your core values．Focus is key here．   If you perform many tasks at a time，you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.
3.  Set a deadline for success.
Set a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal.    By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.
4.  
Failure can't be avoided when you take risks, By its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don't fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn't. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!

E. I've made a list of four habits to help you set goals and achieve them.
F. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.
G. Push yourself to be courageous, and take that next step.

Have you ever        (imagine)what the world looks like through the eyes of a bee? You can try it out with the MicaToolbox．

Last week we held a discussion on which we should do for our school before we graduate．The students in our class have different suggestion．Some students thought that we can collect money to buy some books for the school library or everything else for the schoo1．Others students think that it’s not necessary to spend money．we can study hard and make our school feeling proud of us．
In my opinion，we don’t have to spend money．we can do something meaningfully with out money. For an example，we can do some voluntary work to beautify the school and try to  get better results in the coming exams so that our school will proud of us．
