I was 16 years ld the day I skipped schl fr the first time. It was easily dne: Bth my parents left fr wrk befre my schl bus arrived n weekdays, s when it shwed up at my huse n that cld winter mrning, I simply did nt get n. The perfect crime!
And what did I d with myself n that glrius stlen day with n adult in charge and n limits n my activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall fr a shplifting extravaganza (狂欢)?
Npe. I built a warm fire in the wd stve, prepared a bwl f ppcrn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transprted by a bk—it was Hemingway’s The Sun Als Rises—and I just needed t be alne with it fr a little while. I ached t knw what wuld happen t Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Rbert Chn. I culdn’t bear the thught f sitting in a classrm taking anther bilgy exam when I culd be traveling thrugh Spain in the 1920s with a bunch f expatriates (异乡客).
I spent that day lst in wrds. Time fell away, as the rm arund me turned t mist, and my rle—as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student—in the wrld n lnger had any meaning. I had accidentally cme acrss the key t perfect happiness: I had becme cmpletely absrbed by smething I lved.
Lking back n it nw, I can see that sme subtle things were happening t my mind and t my life while I was in that state f absrptin. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself int my imaginatin. I was dwnlading infrmatin abut hw t create simple and elegant sentences, a gd and slid plt. In ther wrds, I was learning hw t write. Withut realizing it, I was ht n the trail f my wn fate. Writing nw absrbs me the way reading nce did and happiness is their generus side effect.

T nap r nt t nap? Whether napping will wrk fr yu depends n a range f factrs, such as lifestyle, sleep cycle length, culture, and, mst imprtantly, the length f yur snze. If yu like t nap, yu are nt alne. Napping is part f the culture in many cuntries: arund 51 percent f peple wrldwide habitually enjy 40 winks in the daytime.
When it cmes t napping. ne size definitely desn’t fit all. If yu are sleep deprived, a nap can be helpful r even essential fr making it thrugh the day. Hwever, fr thse with ther sleep issues, a nap may make it harder t fall asleep at night. Fr mst f us, the timing and length f ur nap will largely determine hw beneficial it is t ur sleep rutine.
Between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., mst peple experience an increase in sleepiness, triggered by a slight drp in cre bdy temperature. A nap f 30 minutes r less arund this time allws yu t benefit frm a burst f Stage I and 2 sleep, which is gd fr mental and physical alertness.
Napping fr 30 minutes r less can reduce stress and lwer the risk f cardivascular prblems like heart attacks and strkes. One study shwed that napping three times a week fr 30 minutes led t a 37 percent decreased risk f dying frm heart disease.
A brief nap can be beneficial fr thse with excessive daytime sleepiness, including peple suffering frm sleep apnea(呼吸暂停) r narclepsy, shift wrkers, and peple with jet lag. Studies shw that shrt naps can help imprve r reset a disrupted circadian rhythm (昼夜节律).
Naps can interfere with insmnia(失眠) treatment, which invlves restricting daytime sleep t increase the likelihd f sleeping slidly at night.
Be cautius abut naps f mre than 30 minutes. Waking frm the deep-sleep stages results in sleep inertia, a super-dizzy state where brainwaves are slw and it takes lnger t adjust t the awake state.
A recent study has fund that napping fr mre than 60 minutes a day increased the risk f type 2 diabetes by 50 percent.
8. Whether a nap is needed is determined mainly by .
A. yur living habitB. yur sleep-wake circle
C. the sciety yu’re inD. perid f time in sleeping
9. What des the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A. A nap benefits all the peple.
B. Nt all the peple fit napping.
C. A nap wrks n ne with sleep prblems.
D. A nap wrks fr yu if yu’re lacking sleep.

The authrs suggested fcusing n the imprtance f slwing r changing human-caused climate change as quickly as pssible.
“Climate change and air quality cannt be treated separately. They g hand in hand and must be slved tgether t break this cycle,” WMO Secretary General Petteri Taalas said in a press release.

I was 16 years ld the day I skipped schl fr the first time. It was easily dne: Bth my parents left fr wrk befre my schl bus arrived n weekdays, s when it shwed up at my huse n that cld winter mrning, I simply did nt get n. The perfect crime!
And what did I d with myself n that glrius stlen day with n adult in charge and n limits n my activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall fr a shplifting extravaganza (狂欢)?
Npe. I built a warm fire in the wd stve, prepared a bwl f ppcrn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transprted by a bk—it was Hemingway’s The Sun Als Rises—and I just needed t be alne with it fr a little while.

I culdn’t bear the thught f sitting in a classrm taking anther bilgy exam when I culd be traveling thrugh Spain in the 1920s with a bunch f expatriates (异乡客).
I spent that day lst in wrds. Time fell away, as the rm arund me turned t mist, and my rle—as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student—in the wrld n lnger had any meaning. I had accidentally cme acrss the key t perfect happiness: I had becme cmpletely absrbed by smething I lved.
Lking back n it nw, I can see that sme subtle things were happening t my mind and t my life while I was in that state f absrptin. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself int my imaginatin. I was dwnlading infrmatin abut hw t create simple and elegant sentences, a gd and slid plt. In ther wrds, I was learning hw t write. Withut realizing it, I was ht n the trail f my wn fate. Writing nw absrbs me the way reading nce did and happiness is their generus side effect.

T nap r nt t nap? Whether napping will wrk fr yu depends n a range f factrs, such as lifestyle, sleep cycle length, culture, and, mst imprtantly, the length f yur snze. If yu like t nap, yu are nt alne. Napping is part f the culture in many cuntries: arund 51 percent f peple wrldwide habitually enjy 40 winks in the daytime.
When it cmes t napping. ne size definitely desn’t fit all. If yu are sleep deprived, a nap can be helpful r even essential fr making it thrugh the day. Hwever, fr thse with ther sleep issues, a nap may make it harder t fall asleep at night. Fr mst f us, the timing and length f ur nap will largely determine hw beneficial it is t ur sleep rutine.
Between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., mst peple experience an increase in sleepiness, triggered by a slight drp in cre bdy temperature. A nap f 30 minutes r less arund this time allws yu t benefit frm a burst f Stage I and 2 sleep, which is gd fr mental and physical alertness.
Napping fr 30 minutes r less can reduce stress and lwer the risk f cardivascular prblems like heart attacks and strkes. One study shwed that napping three times a week fr 30 minutes led t a 37 percent decreased risk f dying frm heart disease.
A brief nap can be beneficial fr thse with excessive daytime sleepiness, including peple suffering frm sleep apnea(呼吸暂停) r narclepsy, shift wrkers, and peple with jet lag. Studies shw that shrt naps can help imprve r reset a disrupted circadian rhythm (昼夜节律).
Naps can interfere with insmnia(失眠) treatment, which invlves restricting daytime sleep t increase the likelihd f sleeping slidly at night.
Be cautius abut naps f mre than 30 minutes. Waking frm the deep-sleep stages results in sleep inertia, a super-dizzy state where brainwaves are slw and it takes lnger t adjust t the awake state.
A recent study has fund that napping fr mre than 60 minutes a day increased the risk f type 2 diabetes by 50 percent.
