If you fly non-stop across Canada from Newfoundland in the east to British Columbia in the west, you can arrive before you set out, that is, by the time shown on clocks in British Columbia. Canada is such a big country that people in British Columbia may be having their breakfast while those in Newfoundland are perhaps already beginning their lunch. So the country is divided into five time zones, each an hour behind in time from the west zones to the east. For example, when it is 12 noon Atlantic Time in Newfoundland and the Madritime Provinces, it is 11a.m. Eastern time in most of Quebec and Ontario. Winnipeg, Manitoba, lies in the middle of the Central Time Zone, here it is 10 a.m. In most of the Prairies and the eastern half the mountains it is 9 a.m. Mountain Time while the west coast region has Pacific Time and it is 8 a.m.

45. The underlined word “non-stop” in the first sentence may mean ____.

A. to stop everywhere                            B. no stopping in Canada

C. without stopping before the final stop            D. to stop in Newfoundland

46. Which of the following is not the name of a place in Canada?

A. British Columbia.     B. Newfoundland.    C. Quebec.             D. Atlantic Time.

If you have ever experienced jet lag(飛行時差反應(yīng))，you know how much of a drag it can be. Jet lag happens as a result of air travel, when traveling between two or more time zones. Your body is used to operating in a certain time zone, and when its timing is affected, you’re likely to have problems.

 

Edward Norton’s character in the movies Fight Club faces the struggle of jet-lag-induced sleeplessness due to his constant traveling. Sleeplessness is just one of the effects of jet lag, and it can lead to other problems, such as tiredness, memory loss and confusion. That’s not something you should have to fight on a business trip and it certainly won’t make your vacation very enjoyable, either.

 

Sleeplessness is the biggest problem for travelers that suffer from jet lag. Don’t worry. You can do something to prevent it.

 

Modify(改變)Your Body Clock

To prevent the effects on your body’s timing that come with crossing time zones, you need to change your body clock sooner, rather than later. You can do this by putting yourself on the same time as your destination time zone before you fly. If you know that you will be traveling to London from the eastern United States, you’ll have a five-hour time difference to deal with. Plan for it.

 

Avoid Heavy Food and Alcohol(酒精)

Part of the pleasure of flying commercially, especially if you fly business or first class, is taking advantages of the food and drinks. If you want to avoid jet lag, though, you should think twice. Eating heavy food will only make the jet lag worse. It isn’t good to drink alcohol during a flight, either, because it may make you drowsy. Wait until your body adjusts(調(diào)整) before you decide to have heavy food or drink alcohol.

1.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A. What jet lag is and the effects it has.     

B. What jet lag is and the movies about it.

C. How jet lag happens and how to fight it.

D. How jet lag happens and tips on traveling safely.

2.

 Norton’s character in Fight Club has to fight with         .

A. confusion            B. sleeplessness       

C. heavy drinking       D. memory loss

3.

The underlined word “drowsy” probably means “     ”.

A. worried      B. shocked          C. sleepy               D. excited

4.

According to the passage, in order to prevent jet lag, you should         .

A. sleep for the whole flight               B. drink little alcohol

C. not fly business class                   D. know your destination well

5.

The passage is most likely taken from         .

A. a travel magazine                    B. an entertainment report

C. a geography magazine                 D. a fashion website
