Sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you should be getting and the amount you actually get. It’s a deficit (缺乏) that grows every time we skim some extra minutes off our nightly sleep. “People accumulate sleep debt gradually without being noticed,” says psychiatrist William C. Dement, founder of the Stanford University Sleep Clinic. Studies show that such short-term lack of sleep leads to a foggy brain, worsened vision, and trouble remembering. Long-term effects include obesity, and heart disease. A survey by the National sleep Foundation reports that we’re losing one hour of sleep each night—— more than two full weeks of sleep each year.

The good news is that, like all debt, with some work, sleep debt can be repaid. Adding an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to catch up. For the long-term lack of sleep, take it easy for a few months to get back into a natural sleep pattern.

Go to bed when you are tired, and expect to have ten hours’ shut-eye per night. As the days pass, however, the amount of sleeping time will gradually decrease.

So earn back that lost sleep—and follow the orders of your inner sleep needs, and you’ll feel better. “When you put away sleep debt, you become superhuman,” says Stanford’s Dement, talking about the improved mental and physical capabilities that come with being well rested.

A. in what case you build up a sleep debt.

B. why you need six hours’ sleep every night.

B. You can become superman after you repay your debt.

C. you will be in a good state with enough sleep.

D. you will become superhuman if you don’t make up for sleep debt.

E

Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, but the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or built a sea boat, or calculated the length of the year, or planted crops; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world, you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages (野蛮人); therefore to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently----this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done----is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that side which has killed most has won. And not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that Might is Right.

That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or disabled. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets----while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life----nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.

57. In the first sentence, the author say that .

A. most history books were written by conquerors and generals and soldiers.

B. Those who helped civilization forward is mentioned in any history books.

D. conquerors and generals and soldiers should not be mentioned in history books.

58. Most people believe that the greatest countries are .

A. those that built the highest pillars

B. those that were beaten in battle by the greatest number of other countries

C. those that were ruled by the greatest number of conquerors

D. those that won the greatest number of battles against other countries

59. The author agrees that civilized people .

A. should not have any quarrels to settle

B. should not fight when there are no quarrels to settle

C. should settle their quarrels without fighting

D. should settle their quarrels by seeing which side can kill off the greatest number of the other side

60. The underlined words Might is Right means .

A. Those who have won the battle are right and the losers are wrong

B. those who are powerful should go to war

C. those who are right should fight against those who are wrong

D. in a war, only those who are powerful will win
