1．It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day．Humans are naturally wired to sleep best at night and be awake during the day．However，modern work schedules require some people to try to accommodate the unnatural schedule of shift（輪班）work-being awake at night and sleeping during the day．
In order to make this adjustment，you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep．If shift work is a necessary part of your work life，here are some suggestions that may help．
Arrange to sleep uninterrupted in a quiet，dark room．This means you may have to turn off or unplug your phone，hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask，and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep．
Fit in a nap（小睡）．When your daytime sleep period is too short，taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to improve alertness and enhance performance．
Develop and follow a sleep routine．It's best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day．Try not to vary this too much on weekends．Your body likes routine．
Take extra care to make healthy choices．You may be tempted to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep．But ultimately these choices are more harmful than helpful．
If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day，talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist．Sometimes medications（藥物治療）may be helpful and safe．In other cases，there may be an underlying sleep disorder that needs to be addressed．

12．In Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment．They will not be laid off during recessions（經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條） or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots．To some observes，this is capitalism at its best，because workers are treated as people not things．Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people．
Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works．In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job．The lifetime employment system includes only"regular employees"．Many employees do not fall into this category，including all women．All businesses have many part-time and temporary employees．These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are．These"irregular workers"make up about 10percent of the nonagricultural work force．Additionally，Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors（分包單位）．This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States．
The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975recession．All this leads some to argue that the Japanese system is not all that different from the American system．During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors．In the United States，corporations lay off those workers with the least seniority（資歷）．The difference then is probably less than the term"lifetime employment"suggests，but there still is a difference．And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society．The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual（合同的） terms．Firms hold on to the employees and employees stay with one firm．There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job．Most retirement benefits come from the employer．Changing jobs means losing these benefits．Also，teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production．Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily，lower productivity and lower pay．

74．According to the passage，a woman in JapanA．
A．cannot get a lifetime job
B．is impossible to get a part time job
C．will be employed for life
D．is among the regular workers
75Which of the following is NOT the reason why Japanese workers stay with one firm？B
A．they don't want to lose their retirement benefits．
B．they are not adaptable people．
C．a(chǎn)ny change of jobs will make them less paid．
D．they get used to the teamwork．
76．It can be inferred from the passage thatA．
A．those who want to change jobs frequently in Japan should think twice
B．those who are first laid off by American corporations are temporary workers
C．the use of subcontractors makes Japanese firms less flexible
D．the Japanese system is totally different from the American system
77．What does the passage mainly discuss？D
A．The extremely hard situation during recessions．
B．The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan．
C．The characteristics of corporations in the United States．
D．The features of lifetime employment in Japan．

16．A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag．Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane．Jet lag interferes with a person's normal times for sleeping and waking．People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days．They also may have problems thinking clearly and remembering．
Kwangwook Cho is a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain．He reported the findings of his jet lag study in the publication Nature Neuroscience．
The study involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines．The women had served passengers on airplanes for five years．These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones．In the study，the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag．Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights．The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas．
Mister Cho took some fluid from the women's mouths to measure levels of a hormone that increases during stress．He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen．And he took pictures of their brains using magnetic resonance imaging．This is a way to measure the size of the brain's temporal lobes（顳葉）．
It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes．This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen．The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test．And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones．
Mister Cho says he believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip．He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years．Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory．
Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain．They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory．
72．According to the text，jet lagD．
A．can cause difficulties in speaking
B．can make people feel tired for a few weeks
C．is the illness only found in people who work on the airplanes
D．can be caused by flying over several time zones in an airplane
73．It is inferred that more tests need to be done becauseC．
A．the conclusion was questioned by many scientists
B．scientists fear that his research is not done properly
C．every scientific conclusion needs the support from many tests
D．the woman who were studied in the research were not healthy
74．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the research results？A
A．Women who have a longer rest at home show better memory．
B．Women who fly in short time had smaller right temporal lobes．
C．Women who have longer flights failed the memory test．
D．Women who rest more than 14 days produced less hormones．
75．What is the subject discussed in the test？C
A．The cause of jet lag．
B．A story of a group of flight attendance．
C．A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain．
D．The importance of having enough rest after long flights．

6．Why People Get Tattoos
Jack lay，quiet and unmoving，for thirty minutes while a stranger repeatedly stabbed （刺） him with sharp needles，causing blood to pour steadily out of his leg．Jack was getting a tattoo．His friend Tony had recently gotten a tattoo，and Jack was so impressed by it that he decided to get one too．Peer pressure，media influence，and personal expression are some of the common reasons for wearing tattoos today．
The desire to be accepted by one's friends or peers can have a great influence on what a person does．Sometimes，wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group．Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group．Some of these groups wear only brand-name clothes．Others wear tattoos．When a person's friends are all doing something，that person in more likely to do the same thing．
The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America．A wide variety of media images（人物，圖象） show tattoos-people appearing in commercials selling expensive cars，famous sports heroes with tattoos in magazines，fashion models wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colourful patterns．These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth，success，and status．As a result，many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value．
Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature，their beliefs，or their feelings-in other words，to show their individuality（個(gè)性）．A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm．Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders．A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a person's life．
As you can see，there are many reasons why young North Americans get tattoos．A tattoo can be part of a group's uniform，a sign of fashion．or an expression of individuality．The decision to get a tattoo is most often a result of the influence of friends or media or the desire to express oneself．For Jack，it was a mixture of all three．
63．Jack has got tattoos in order toD．
A．show his great bravery                                 
B．gain a special experience
C．make himself more healthy                         
D．be different from others
64．According to the passage，media images are linked toB．
A．traditional lifestyle                                        
B．social position

D．public interest 
65．We can infer from the passage thatA．
A．some people get tattoos out of pressure 
B．tattoo is related to religious belief
C．getting tattoos costs a lot of money        
D．most people with tattoos are artists
66．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？D

11．It was the afternoon of December 24，the day before Christmas； and as the newest doctor in our office，I had to work．The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating-a dozen long-stemmed red roses．
As I was cleaning my office，I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me．As I stepped out，I noticed a young，tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms．Nervously，she explained that her husband-a prisoner in a nearby prison-was my next patient．She told me she wasn't allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son．Her request was for me to let the boy's father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment．Since my schedule wasn't full，I agreed．After all，it was Christmas Eve．
A short time later，her husband arrived-with chains on his feet and hands，and two armed guards as bodyguards．The woman's tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her．I kept glancing out to watch them laugh，cry and share their child．After almost an hour，I called the prisoner back to my office．The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man．I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions．I tried to make him as comfortable as possible．
At the end of the appointment，I wished him a Merry Christmas，a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison．He smiled and thanked me．He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn't been able to get his wife anything for Christmas．On hearing this，I was inspired with a wonderful idea．
I'll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful，long-stemmed roses．I'm not sure who experienced the most joy-the husband in giving，the wife in receiving，or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment．
67．What can be inferred from the first paragraph？D
A．The writer was a newcomer to her office．
B．A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present．
C．She was at work with a light heart．
D．She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas．
68．The young woman came to the writer's office for the purpose of．C
A．having her baby examined
B．having her husband examined
C．getting a chance for her family to get together
D．giving her husband a chance to make his escape
69．The underlined part in paragraph 3probably meansB
A．to be sent to hospital        
B．to become a prisoner
C．to be comfortable           
D．to be separated from his family
70．What does the writer learn from the story？A
A．An act of kindness can mean a lot
B．Whoever breaks the law should be punished
C．The prisoner was treated with mercy
D．The wife experienced the most joy in receiving．
