It
was
the
beginning
of
2011.
I
had
just
finished
filming
the
first
season
of
Game
of
Thrones
(
《权利的游戏》
). With almost no professional experience, I had been given the role of
Daenerys Targaryen. The show was so successful that young girls would dress themselves up as
Daenerys for Halloween.

And yet, terrified of the attention, terrified of trying to make good on the faith that the creators
had put in me, I worked much harder.

On the morning of February 11, 2011, I was getting dressed in a gym when I started to feel a
bad headache. I was so exhausted that I could barely put on my sneakers. I tried to ignore the
pain, but I couldn't. I reached the toilet and sank to my knees. A woman came to help me. Then
everything became unclear. I only remember the sound of an ambulance.

That operation lasted three hours. When I woke, the pain was unbearable. After four days, they
moved me out of the I.C.U. (
重症监护室
). But one day when a nurse asked me, as part of a series
of cognitive (
认知的
) exercises,
terrified: I am an actor; I need to remember my lines. Now, I couldn't recall my name.

The phenomenon is called aphasia. Then I was sent back to the I.C.U. and, after about a week, I
was able to speak and know my name. And I was also aware that there were people in the beds
around me who didn't make it out of the I.C.U. I was continually reminded of just how fortunate I
was.

I rarely gave a thought to my health. Nearly all I thought about was acting. I thought of myself
as healthy. Once in a while, I would get dizzy. When I was fourteen, I had a migraine (
偏头痛
) that
kept me in bed for a couple of days. But it all seemed manageable
—
part of the stress of being
an actor. Now I think I might have been experiencing warning signs of what was to come.

Anyway, there is something pleasant about coming to the end of
Thrones
. And I'm so happy to
be here to see the beginning of whatever comes next.

The negative (
负面的
) health effects of sleep shortages during the week can't be changed by
marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.

Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation (
缺乏
) can cause weight gain and
increase
other
health
risks,
including
diabetes.
But
there
are
still
some
people
who
hope
that
shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any
ill effects.

The research, published in Current Biology, ruins those hopes. Despite complete freedom to
sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were
limited
to
five
hours
of
sleep
on
weekdays
gained
nearly
three
pounds
over
two
weeks
and
experienced metabolic disruption (
代谢紊乱
) that would increase their risk for diabetes over the
long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of inadequate
sleep, those gains were wiped out when people returned right to their same sleep schedule the
next Monday.


very short- lived,
It's kind of like smoking once was
—
people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect
on
their
health,
but
people
will
say
now
that
smoking
is
not
a
healthy
lifestyle
choice.
I
think
sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.

Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep
—
cutting out the optional

stealers
such
as
watching
television
shows
or
spending
time
on
electronic
equipment.
Even when people don't have a choice about losing sleep due to child-care responsibilities or job
schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would think about a
healthy diet or exercise.

（
1
）
What had the researchers already known before doing the new research?

A. The actual benefits of weekend recovery sleep.

B. Harm to health caused by the lack of routine sleep.

C. People's habit of shutting off the alarm during holidays.

D. The relationship between body weight and sleep amount.

（
2
）
Kenneth Wright mentioned smoking to _________.

A. call on smokers to completely abandon smoking

B. advise people to go to sleep when they want to smoke

C. show people have known the harm brought by smoking

D. show people will someday notice the bad effects of sleep deprivation

（
3
）
What does the underlined word

a low opinion of something.

se the amount of something.

down something that isn't necessary any more.

something as being more important than others.

（

What can be the best title for the text?

d Catch-up Sleep Is a Lie

Sleep Habits Are Harmful to Health

C.A New Study Has an Unexpected Discovery

【答案】

（
1
）
B

（
2
）
D

（
3
）
D

（
4
）
A

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，作者通过一项研究与对比举例的方法让大家明 白周
末马拉松式的
“
补觉
”
并不能扭转工作日睡眠不足对健康的负面 影响。人们应该把睡眠放在
优先地位。


（
1
）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的
“Researchers
have
long
known
that
routine
sleep
deprivation (
缺乏
) can cause weight gain and increase other he
alth risks, including diabetes”
研究
人员很早就知道长期的睡眠缺乏会导致体重增加 和像糖尿病这样的健康风险，可知，人们
很早就知道长期睡眠不足会给身体带来的危害。故选
B
。


（
2
）考查推理判断。根据第四段中
Kenneth
Wright
说的最后两句话可知：长期睡眠不足
给健康造成的危害是长期的，就像曾经的抽烟习惯一样——
人们抽烟，没有看到立即的效
应，但是现在人们会说抽烟是不健康的生活方式。睡眠不 足就像是早期的抽烟一样。也就
是说作者用这个比喻是想让大家知道终究会有一天人们会注意到睡眠不足 带来的坏处。故
选
D
。


（
3
）考查词 义猜测。划线单词后有一个破折后，起解释说明的作用。由破折后的句意：
减少不必要的
“睡眠小偷
”
式行为，比如看电视节目或者花时间在电子设备上。可知，我们
需要把 睡眠放在优先的地位。也就是说要把睡眠看的比看电视节目、看电子设备等等这些
行为更重要。故选D
。


（
4
）考查主旨大意。第一段就说明了文章中 心。第一段段意为：一项发人深省的新研究
表明，周末马拉松式的
“
补觉
”< br>并不能扭转工作日睡眠不足对健康的负面影响。也就是说周
末的补觉是一个谎言。故选
A
。

If you love eating and drinking for free and are looking to make some pocket money, there's a
job in China with your name on it. A new type of online service allows people to hire others to
eat or drink their favorite treats, either to cure their boredom or satisfy their appetite without
the calories that usually come with it.

Chinese media recently reported on an increasingly popular service on online platform Taobao
that's as startling as it is appealing. People can now go online and hire others to consume certain

customers avoid high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and other health problems that the sugar-
laden drink may cause.

So why would anyone pay a total stranger to enjoy a treat rather than consume it themselves?
Well, apparently, the online service is so cheap that some people simply do it out of boredom,
while others get satisfaction from watching others indulge in their favorite treats.

This indulging-by-proxy service(

China, with some people describing it as the job of their dreams.

I spend half of my life with my mother and the other half with my father. My father lives with a
twenty-pound cat named Tofu. He calls me his favorite daughter. I am an only child.

room,
there
is
no
furniture.
He
doesn't
like
sofas
or
any
comfortable
chairs,

a
drawing table, a desk and his bed. He spends a lot of time lying on the studio floor. That's how he
thinks, he says. Then he does yoga

on top of the refrigerator is an old clock he winds every week for
good

out of town, he hires someone to feed Tofu and wind the clock so it won't stop.

The one thing he has plenty of is house rules. You have to take off your shoes when you come
in. He won't allow anyone who wears a baseball cap into his house. He says only baseball players
should wear baseball caps and only the catchers should wear them backward. Every time I go to
stay in his house, he makes up a new rule.

The rule that he always enforces is the one that requires me to write a two-page essay anytime I
want something. He didn't speak English until he was sixteen, and he had a hard time learning to
write it, so he wants me to become a good writer at an early age. This ritual(
仪式
)started when I
asked him if I could have my ears pierced when I was nine. He said it was very cruel and told me I
couldn't do it until I was thirty-five. But l kept asking him, and he finally said that if I wrote an
essay and I could persuade him in writing why I wanted holes in my ears, maybe he would say
okay. I wrote my first essay for my father, and after one month of writing and rewriting, he finally
gave me his permission.

Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those
willing to work on their feet. However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until
now.
Recently,
Ikea
has
brought
out
Bekant
convertible(
可变换的
)
standing
desk
that
can
become a normal desk at the touch of a button. The $$500 adjustable desk can transform from a
standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.

Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity. Similar
desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have
even installed treadmill (
跑步机
) and bicycle desks.

The desk is not the first
an adjustable desk. The $$3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, changing it
into a standing desk or a traditional desk. The desk can even be programmed to move up and
down
slightly,
making
it
appear
to
take
a
gentle
breath
to
remind
the
user
to
change
their
positions.
To
move
between
sitting
and
standing
positions,
owners
simply
double
tap
on
the
screen. The desk can learn the user's preferences over time and suggest the best seating position.

The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex- Apple and Disney engineers. It has a built-in
touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they
burn by standing during their working day. It also has devices containing power points and USB
ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden.

Cassandra
Feeley
finds
it
hard
to
manage
on
her
husband's
income.
So
this
year
she
did
something
more
than
a
hobby.
She
planted
vegetables
in
her
yard.
For
her
first
garden,
Ms.
Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm
house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms. Rita Gartin
kept
a
small
garden.
This
year
she
has
made
it
much
larger
because,
she
said,

cost
of
everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds too; so it's a win-win situation all
around.

They
are
among
the
growing
number
of Americans who,
driven
by
higher
living
costs
and
a
falling economy, have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the
size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has
there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the
country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex, some of the gardens have a three-
year waiting list.

George C Ball Jr. owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40%,
over
last
year,
double
the
average
growth
of
last
five
years.
Mr.
Ball
argues
that
some
of
the
reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is striking rise in the cost on food
like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruit and vegetables. Food prices
have increase of higher oil price. People are driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there is more
time to garden.

What does the word

A. chickens B. tomatoes C. gardens D. people

（

Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular?

一现象的原因是由于生活成本的上升和经济的下 降，人们不得不自己种菜以降低生活成
本。
