March 21 has been declared World Sleep Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep. Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call. Cdording to a 2020 poll (民意调查）by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans don’t get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some won’t do well without more. But the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six.
To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big
yawn. On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: We’re likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives.
“When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your performance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.
A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didn’t function as well during the day.
But sleeping has an image problem. “We see napping or sleeping as lazy,” says Jennifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children. “We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. Sleep is in the back seat.” In fact, she adds, no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we can’t be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means _____. To wake up the sleepers B. To serve as a morning call To draw people’s attention To declare the special day
Which of the following is True according to Paragraph 2? People can do well without enough sleep. Adults need at least eight hours’ sleep a day. Only one-forth of Americans have enough sleep. One-fifth of American adults sleep less than children.
From Paragraph 3 we can infer that _______ Being healthier is one of the advantages for us Sleeping has nothing to do with one’s expectations Enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing things Spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time
What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies that _______. People care little about sleeping Sleeping is an image problem Lazy people tend to sleep long Sleeping is only part of our life What is the purpose of the passage? To talk about people’s sleeping problems. To provide an investigation result of sleeping. To stress the function of sleeping at night. To arouse the awareness of enough sleeping. D.
Leading experts on the Internet, technology and policy have shared the same opinion on what we can expect in the next decade when it comes to connectivity and its effects on society.
The Pew Research report asked thousands of experts and members of the public for opinions on “the most significant overall influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity”--- and some had a rosier outlook than others. “The smartest person in the world nowadays could well be stuck behind a plough in India or China,” said Hal, Google’s chief economist. “Enabling that person----and the millions like him or her--- will have a strong effect on the development of the human race.”
Early Internet pioneer David Hughes agreed:”When every person on this planet can communicate two-way with every other person on this planet, the power of nation-states to control every human inside its geographic boundaries may start to disappear.”
Wearables (electronic equipment that people can wear ) could monitor more than just steps, predicted UC Berkeley’s Aron Roberts---or do more than just monitor:” We may literally be able to adjust both medications and lifestyle changes on a day-by-day basis or even an hour-by-hour basis.”
Microsoft Reaearch’s Jonathan Grudin is more pessimistic(悲观）: “By making so much activity visible, it exposes the gap between the way people behave and the way we think they ought to behave. Adjusting to this will be an unending, difficult task.
And the difference between the rich and the poor will have a new aspect:”Only the well-off (and well-educated) will know how to preserve their privacy,” warned one expert.
“Will the Internet make it possible for our entire civilization to fall down together, in one big awful step? Possibly,” admitted Harvard”s Doctor Searls. :”But the Internet has already made it possible for us to use one of our unique advantages---- the ability to share knowledge---to a degree higher than ever before.”
As for the influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity, some of the experts are _______. Realistic Optimistic Doubtful Careful
According to Hal, in the future, those who will influence the development
