1. 英语阅读理解how to sleep better翻译
得不到充足的睡眠会使你脾气暴躁—但是你知道它如何使你生 病吗?研究显示不充足的睡眠和肥胖之间的关系；并且肥胖可以导致 糖尿病，高血压，甚至是心脏病。如果你不记得你上一次真正休息， 不受干扰的晚间睡觉，尝试一下这些建议： 清醒你的头脑。如果在灯关掉的一瞬间你的思想开始快速移动， 你忙于担心即将到来的报告或者分析棘手的谈话而难以入睡， 你需要 从事一些思想游戏。根据最近在“预防法网站”上的一篇文章，他们关 键是“刺激控制”将焦虑思想扼杀在萌芽状态—基本上风景的改变会 使你的大脑拜托恐惧。不用开灯，起床去另一个房间。一旦你感觉你 的大脑清醒了，回床上睡觉很安全了。 关上灯（所有的） 。当你眼睛检测光的时候，它阻碍了你的大脑 进入睡眠模式， 甚至闹钟或窗外大灯发光就足以让你清醒。 幸运的是， 有许多方法可以阻挡光源， 从睡眠面具到灯火熄灭的夜色到简单的啪 的关掉夜间照明灯并且把你的时钟面向墙壁。 每周七天设置警报。 在周末睡觉可能会当作一个当之无愧的放纵 但是熬夜和长时间打瞌睡给你身体自然节奏做了编号。 周末早上在你 正常时间的一个小时内醒来意味着你将不太可能在周日晚上熬夜到 凌晨并且在周一早上起床时少了不情愿。 配偶打呼噜时你别出声。就像你可能要到凌晨 3 点，但是你不能 把枪口指向你的配偶。 但是你可以专门为他做一个枕头帮助他停止打 呼噜（预防建议神经学家设计索娜枕头） 。就像“呼吸正确”牌的止鼾 贴片也是非常有效的。然而他们不会使你配偶的声音不像锯木一般， 但至少一对舒服的耳塞会封锁住声音。 狗（或猫）不被允许。你不需要把你的床分给人类最好的朋友， 所以为什么允许你毛茸茸的好朋友蜷缩在你的枕头上？你的安慰的 四肢展开的宠物或者在你臂弯中蜷缩弯曲的宠物使你很舒服， 但是他 们经常会使你保持清醒。如果你一定要在房间里养一只狗，给它自己 挨着你造一个床。让小猫出去，挨着门用双面胶带给它安衬的底部， 根据预防法，这对小猫来说闷热的难以忍受。

Dear editor (编辑) ，
I live in a beautiful city . Many visitors come to my city . there are so many colorful peacocks (孔雀) here .
The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square
They are given food freely by visitors . They usually throw food to them , and don’ think about at all whether the food is right or not . Some of the peacocks became ill , some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors.
I’m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds , but don’t realize (意识到) that they may be doing them harm (伤害).
The visitors should be told that what have done is very harmful to the birds , and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening .
Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food . For us every person , it’s our ty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.
Yours,
Sun Yan

An owl is a bird with very large eyes. Those eyes make the owl look clever. The owl can not move its eyes freely as people can. It can only look straight ahead (朝前). If it wants to look at both sides, it must turn its neck.

The three sons thanked the old man and took his camel. Now they found it was easy to do as their father wished, The oldest took half- that was nine camels; the second took one-third, that was six; and the youngest took one-ninth, that was two.

We know mosquitoes very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide if she loves you. She? Yes, she. The male mosquito doesn’t bite! Only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You’re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(痒) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. When the itch begins, she has flown away.
And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, in a tree or on a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.

Do you know why different animals or pests(昆虫) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收获)time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.
Have you ever found an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散开), its enemies(敌人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
( )56.From the passage we learn that locusts________.
A. are small animals
B. are easily found by birds
C. are dangerous to their enemies
D. change their colours to protect themselves
( )57.How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger?
A. They run away quickly.
B. They have the colours much like their enemies.
C. They hide themselves by day and appear at night.
D. They have to move quietly.
( )58.Bears and lions can keep safe because________.
A. they have the colours much like the trees
B. they move quietly
C. they like brown and grey colours
D. they live in forests
( )59.Why can the kind of fish live up to now?
A. Because it is very big and strong.
Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.
B. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.
C. Because it swims faster than any other fish.

6. 英语阅读理解，与睡眠时间有关（有老年人，小孩等的标准睡眠时间，可以是完形填空
睡眠时间与健康休戚相关 Source: 恒星英语学习网 Onion 2010-02-26 我要投稿 论坛 Favorite People who do not get enough sleep are more than twice as likely todie of heart disease,... Although the reasons are unclear, researcher ssaid lack of sleep appeared to be linked to increased blood pressure,which is known to raise the risk of heart attacks and stroke. 睡眠不足的人死于心脏病的几率是睡眠充足者的两倍多。目前其中的原因尚不清楚，但研究人员称，睡眠不足会导致血压升高，从而增大患心脏病和中风的风险。 A 17-year analysis of 10,000 government workers showed those who cut their sleep from seven hours a night to five or less faced a1.7-fold increased risk of death from all causes and more than double the risk of cardiovascular death. 一项针对1万名政府职员、长达17年的跟踪调查表明，每晚睡眠时间从七个小时减少到五个小时或更少的人因各种原因而死亡的几率是睡眠正常者的1.7倍，而且死于心血管疾病的风险也增加了1倍多。 "A third of the population of the UK and over 40percent in the US regularly sleep less than five hours a night, so itis not a trivial problem," “三分之一的英国人以及超过40%的美国人每晚的睡眠时间常常达不到五个小时，所以这个问题不可小视。” Previous research has highlighted the potential health risks of shift work and disrupted sleep. But the study by Cappuccio and colleagues, which was supported by British government and US funding,is the first to link ration of sleep and mortality rates. 此前有调查发现轮班及睡眠中断会对健康产生潜在威胁。但卡普西奥及其同事的这项调查则首次揭示了睡眠时间长短与死亡率之间的关系。该调查由英国政府和美国基金提供资助。 The study looked at sleep patterns of participants aged 35-55 at two points in their lives - 1985-88 and 1992-93 - and then tracked their mortality rates until 2004. 该调查对年龄在35岁至55岁之间的人在1985年至1988年以及1992年至1993年两个阶段的睡眠模式进行了探究，并对这一人群截至2004年的死亡率进行了追踪。 The results were adjusted to take account of other possible risk factors such as initial age, sex, smoking and alcohol consumption,body mass index, blood pressure and cholesterol. 调查还考虑到了调查对象的初始年龄、性别、是否吸烟喝酒、体重指数、血压及胆固醇指标等其它可能的风险因素。 Cappuccio said it was possible that longer sleeping could be related to other health problems such as depression or cancer-related fatigue. 卡普西奥说，睡眠时间过长也可能导致如抑郁症及癌因性疲乏等其它健康问题。 "In terms of prevention, our findings indicate that consistently sleeping around seven hours per night is optimal forhealth," he said。 他说：“就预防而言，我们的研究结果表明，每晚睡眠时间持续保持在七小时左右最益于身体健康。” From: http://www.hxen.com/englisharticle/yingyuyue/2010-02-26/102298.html

是不是这篇文章
Sleep is part of a person’s daily activity cycle. There are several different stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles. If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows. When you first drift off into slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, you temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves for a few minutes. This is called stage 1 sleep.. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through stage 2 and stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep. slower your brain waves will be. Then about 40 to 60 minutes after you lose consciousness you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain will show the large slow waves that are known as the delta rhythm. This is stage 4 sleep.
You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, but instead about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep. It is ring REM sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will grow slow and regular once more. Your breathing will slip gently back from stage 1 to stage 4 sleep----only to rise once again to the surface of near consciousness some 80 minutes later.
睡眠是人每天日常活动循环的一部分。人的睡眠分几个阶段，而这些阶段也是循环发生的。如果你是一个正常的睡眠者，你的睡眠循环会这样进行。
在你开始昏昏入睡时，你的眼睛会滚动几下，体温略有下降，肌肉放松，呼吸变得缓慢而有节奏。除了开始几分钟比较快的α节奏外，脑电波也稍有减缓。
这被称为第一阶段睡眠。在随后约半小时内，你进一步放松，进入第二和第三阶段睡眠。睡眠越深入，脑电波就越缓慢。大约在开始睡眠后的40到
60分钟，你将进入沉睡状态。这时的脑电波表现为巨大的缓波，被称为δ节奏。这就是第四阶段睡眠。
但你并不是整夜都保持这种沉睡状态。入睡后约80分钟左右，你的大脑运动水平会再度略有提高。δ节奏消失，并被脑电波的运动图形取代。你的眼睛会
在 闭着的眼睑下迅速转动，就好象你在看着眼前发生的什么事情。这种迅速的眼球运动持续约8～15分钟，这一阶段睡眠被称之为快速眼动(REM)睡眠。在 REM睡眠阶段，你的肢体会很快再度放松，呼吸也再次放慢并变得有节奏，你会轻松地从第一阶段滑入第四阶段睡眠-直到大约80分钟后重新接近清醒状态。
