We’re ften tld that we shuldn’t live in fear r let wrry affect us, and there are definitely advantages f this advice. But there is such a thing as a healthy dse f wrry, recent research suggests, especially when we are faced with real dangers. In a study f ver 300,000 adults in the United Kingdm, peple wh cnsidered themselves wrriers were better health-wise than thse wh wrried less. Over a multi-year perid, they had a lwer risk f dying f a range f diseases.
The researchers prpsed a ptential explanatin fr these differences Wrriers may be mre likely t ntice physical prblems and quickly seek medical attentin fr them, increasing the chance f nticing and treating diseases in early stages. In additin, they may shw mre health-related behavir like exercise and healthy eating in an effrt t stave ff negative heat results.
Other negative emtins, like anger and tensin, dn’t have the same benefits as wrry in the study, prbably because they dn’t increase heath watchfulness in the same way. Wrry may be an unpleasant emtin, but it can make us act in ways that prtect urselves and thers.
Other research has als fund health benefits cnnected with wrry. Fr example, ne study fund that smkers wh wrried mre abut the negative health effects f smking were mre likely t give it up within eight mnths. Anther study fund that peple wh nt nly understd the risk f skin cancer but wrried abut it were mre likely t wear sunscreen as a preventative measure.
Despite these benefits, wrrying abut health smetimes can be bad. Fr example, we might fear the behavir that is in fact safe. And frequent, uncnstructive wrry, health-related r nt, can disturb sleep quality and increase the risk f stress related illness. T much wrry is als a sign f generalized anxiety disrder.
Cnstructive wrry is likely t be mre slutin-fcused than uncnstructive wrry. The feeling f wrry reminds us f a ptential danger, which makes us think thrugh hw t address that danger. Fr example, if yu read an article abut the risks f spending a lt f time sitting dwn and becme cncerned abut hw much time yu spend sitting during the day, yu might cnsider different ways t increase yur activity level r talk with yur dctr.
Smetimes we wrry abut things that are largely ut f ur cntrl and dn’t necessarily have practical slutins, like an upcming medial test r the unpredictability (不可预知性) f a lved ne’s physical cnditin. These are nrmal wrries and are nt uncnstructive—they may still make us take actin that benefits us, even if we can’t slve the prblem r cntrl the result.
Telling urselves simply nt t wrry is unlikely t make thse feelings g away. But we can chse t respnd with understanding and cmfrt, rather than ging dwn the rabbit hle f wrst-case situatin.
4. Why culd wrry be beneficial t ur health?
A. It culd help us set mre practical gals.
B. It culd draw ur attentin t ur health.
C. It culd infrm us f pssible slutins.
D. it culd make us recver frm diseases.
5. What des the underlined part “stave ff” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Analyze.B. Remind.
C. ChangeD. Avid.
6. Hw des the authr prve the benefits f wrry?
A. By presenting scientific research.
B. By cmparing negative emtins.
C. By explaining the reasn fr wrry.
D. By intrducing heath related habits.
7. What des the authr tin f wrrying abut things ut f cntrl?
A. It is harmful t ur health.B. It can still be f sme help.
C It can take plenty f timeD. It will make ting wrse.

An afternn nap(午睡)is ne f the jys f life, althugh t much napping culd signal all is nt well. In sme cultures, peple will have a daily nap — this is fine. The warning cmes when peple start sleeping during the daytime, when they did nt befre. There is certainly a gd reasn t believe that daytime sleepiness — as in the Alzheimer's study — can be a marker f an underlying cnditin.
Fr mst peple, napping during the day is mainly a sign that yu are nt getting enugh sleep at night, says Dr. Neil Stanley, a sleep expert. "If yu feel sleepy during the day, yu shuld think abut taking a nap. That is what the bdy needs — it desn't need t be kept awake with caffeine, it needs sleep. "The feeling t ntice is "sleepiness", he says, nt "tiredness", which culd be mre psychlgical and linked t stress.
S hw d yu nap well? The key thing, says Stanley, is hw lng yur nap lasts. Chse either a 20-r 90-minute nap. "When yu fall asleep, yu'll quickly g thrugh the lighter stages f sleep int yur first perid f deep sleep. Yu dn't want t wake up in deep sleep because that's when yu wake and feel wrse than yu did befre. "Napping fr 20 minutes means yu will wake up befre yu g int deep sleep; napping fr 90 minutes means yu'll cmplete a sleep cycle.
Once yu factr in the time it takes t fall asleep — sme peple are better at napping than thers but, says Stanley, "a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes" — yu can set an alarm, allwing a 30- t 40-minute perid fr a shrt nap, and up t tw hurs fr a lnger ne.
A gd time t nap is during the bdy's natural dip in the afternn, between 2 pm and 4 pm. "Yu dn't really want t be napping much past that because then yu are ging t be eating int yur night-time sleep," Stanley says. The pint, he stresses, is t get gd night-time sleep, which wuld ensure yu prbably dn't need t nap at all.
8. What des an afternn nap indicate fr mst peple?
A. Caffeine addictin.B. Psychlgical stress.
C. Insufficient night sleep.D. Ptential physical illness.
9. What is the key t a gd nap?
A. Duratin.B. Surrundings.C. Health.D. Stages.
10. What des the underlined wrd "that" in the last paragraph refer t?
A. A 30- t 40- minute perid.B. Between 2 pm and 4 pm.
C. Between 5 and 12 minutes.D. A 20- t 90-minute perid.
11. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Why t phase a napB. When t take a gd nap
C. What t learn frm a napD. Hw t have a successful nap

Since1972 Americans have sat thrugh mre than 9,000 episdes f“The Price is Right". a game shw with an ecnmic twist. After being selected frm the audience by the famus catchphrase－“cme n dwn”－cntestants must guess the exact price f prizes. ranging frm guitars t garden furniture. If they bid t high, they are disqualified. In a recent paper, Jnathan Hartley f Harvard Kennedy Schl pints ut an interesting trend. Cntestants have gt a lt wrse at guessing prices.
Technlgy may play a rle. Reaching fr a smartphne is easier than recalling a fact frm memry. Wh remembers phne numbers anymre? Peple may just fall ut f the habit f recalling prices. Still. the rise f the smartphne is a recent phenmenn - it cannt explain why cntestants became wrse guessers during thel970s, 1980s and 1990s.
Ecnmic changes may be a better explanatin. A paper published in 2001 suggested that higher GDP grwth raised “price-recall errr". Like the famus plitician wh thinks a galln f milk csts S15, as peple get richer they wrry less abut budgeting.
A related trend is that Americans devte a shrinking share f their husehld spending t gds - which tend t appear n "The Price Is Right" — and a rising share t services, such as dining and childcare. which d nt. Cntestants might be pretty gd at guessing the price f a gym class r a babysitter.
Perhaps the mst interesting explanatin, hwever, relates t glbalizatin. In the early 1970s cnsumers had a relatively limited selectin f prducts t chse frm. Arund the time that “The Price Is Right” first aired, Sears catalgue s were hundreds f pages lng. But a search n Amazn brings up nearly1,000 results just fr the wrd “taster". Firms ffer a huge range f differentiated prducts at wildly different prices, allwing cnsumers t satisfy their special wants. The result is that guessing prices is trickier.
The rise f nline shpping adds further cnfusin. Online retailers respnd instantly t fluctuatins in supply and demand. Albert Cavall f Harvard Business Schl finds that sme large retailers nw change their prices. bth upwards and dwnwards, twice as frequently as they did a decade ag. All f this suggests that cntestants' guesses may yet get wrse.
12. What des Jnathan Hartley find ut frm “The Price Is Right"?
A. Peple are becming less price-sensitive.
B. Technlgy makes it easier t guess prices.
C. Guessing prices has becme a grwing trend.
D. It's necessary t have the habit f guessing prices.
13. Why des the authr mentin "the price f a galln f milk" in Paragraph 3?
A. T present "The Price Is Right" tends t fcus n daily gds.
B. T cmplain “Price-recall errr" is cmmn amng pliticians.
C. T reveal Americans are spending mre n services than gds.
D. T shw a gd ecnmy makes peple less cncerned abut prices.
14. In which way des glbalizatin make guessing prices difficult?
A. It has caused frequent price wars.
B. It has brught a wealth f prducts.
C. It directs peple's attentin t nline shpping.
D. It leads t huge price differences amng retailers.
15 The underlined wrd “fluctuatins” in the last paragraph means .
A. Gals.B. Changes.C. Charges.D. Examples.

We’re ften tld that we shuldn’t live in fear r let wrry affect us, and there are definitely advantages f this advice. But there is such a thing as a healthy dse f wrry, recent research suggests, especially when we are faced with real dangers. In a study f ver 300,000 adults in the United Kingdm, peple wh cnsidered themselves wrriers were better health-wise than thse wh wrried less. Over a multi-year perid, they had a lwer risk f dying f a range f diseases.
The researchers prpsed a ptential explanatin fr these differences Wrriers may be mre likely t ntice physical prblems and quickly seek medical attentin fr them, increasing the chance f nticing and treating diseases in early stages. In additin, they may shw mre health-related behavir like exercise and healthy eating in an effrt t stave ff negative heat results.
Other negative emtins, like anger and tensin, dn’t have the same benefits as wrry in the study, prbably because they dn’t increase heath watchfulness in the same way. Wrry may be an unpleasant emtin, but it can make us act in ways that prtect urselves and thers.
Other research has als fund health benefits cnnected with wrry. Fr example, ne study fund that smkers wh wrried mre abut the negative health effects f smking were mre likely t give it up within eight mnths. Anther study fund that peple wh nt nly understd the risk f skin cancer but wrried abut it were mre likely t wear sunscreen as a preventative measure.
Despite these benefits, wrrying abut health smetimes can be bad. Fr example, we might fear the behavir that is in fact safe. And frequent, uncnstructive wrry, health-related r nt, can disturb sleep quality and increase the risk f stress related illness. T much wrry is als a sign f generalized anxiety disrder.
Cnstructive wrry is likely t be mre slutin-fcused than uncnstructive wrry. The feeling f wrry reminds us f a ptential danger, which makes us think thrugh hw t address that danger. Fr example, if yu read an article abut the risks f spending a lt f time sitting dwn and becme cncerned abut hw much time yu spend sitting during the day, yu might cnsider different ways t increase yur activity level r talk with yur dctr.
Smetimes we wrry abut things that are largely ut f ur cntrl and dn’t necessarily have practical slutins, like an upcming medial test r the unpredictability (不可预知性) f a lved ne’s physical cnditin. These are nrmal wrries and are nt uncnstructive—they may still make us take actin that benefits us, even if we can’t slve the prblem r cntrl the result.
Telling urselves simply nt t wrry is unlikely t make thse feelings g away. But we can chse t respnd with understanding and cmfrt, rather than ging dwn the rabbit hle f wrst-case situatin.
4. Why culd wrry be beneficial t ur health?
A. It culd help us set mre practical gals.
B. It culd draw ur attentin t ur health.
C. It culd infrm us f pssible slutins.
D. it culd make us recver frm diseases.
5. What des the underlined part “stave ff” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Analyze.B. Remind.
C ChangeD. Avid.
6. Hw des the authr prve the benefits f wrry?
A. By presenting scientific research.
B. By cmparing negative emtins.
C. By explaining the reasn fr wrry.
D. By intrducing heath related habits.
7. What des the authr tin f wrrying abut things ut f cntrl?
A. It is harmful t ur health.B. It can still be f sme help.
C. It can take plenty f timeD. It will make ting wrse.

【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“In additin, they may shw mre health-related behavir like exercise and healthy eating in an effrt t stave ff negative heat results.(此外，他们可能表现出更多健康相关的行为，比如锻炼和健康饮食，从而避免负面的结果)”可知，由短语in an effrt t引导的是前面锻炼、健康饮食这些动作的目的，划线词的宾语是negative results，应该指“避免、防止（不好的结果）”。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“In a study f ver 300,000 adults in the United Kingdm, peple wh cnsidered themselves wrriers were better health-wise than thse wh wrried less.(在英国一项对超过300000成人的研究中发现，认为自己是担忧者的人比起担忧较少的人更具健康智慧)”和第四段第一句“Other research has als fund health benefits cnnected with wrry.(另一研究也发现了与担忧相关的健康益处)”可知，文中对担忧的好处的说明主要是通过展示科研结果来实现的。故选A项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“These are nrmal wrries and are nt uncnstructive—they may still make us take actin that benefits us, even if we can’t slve the prblem r cntrl the result.(这些都是正常的担忧，并非无建设性的，它们可能仍会促使我们采取对自己有利的行动，即使我们最终无法解决问题或控制结果)”可知，作者认为这种对于无法掌控结果的事情的担忧还是会有一些好处。故选B项。

Yu dn't want t wake up in deep sleep because that's when yu wake and feel wrse than yu did befre. "Napping fr 20 minutes means yu will wake up befre yu g int deep sleep; napping fr 90 minutes means yu'll cmplete a sleep cycle.
Once yu factr in the time it takes t fall asleep — sme peple are better at napping than thers but, says Stanley, "a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes" — yu can set an alarm, allwing a 30- t 40-minute perid fr a shrt nap, and up t tw hurs fr a lnger ne.
A gd time t nap is during the bdy's natural dip in the afternn, between 2 pm and 4 pm. "Yu dn't really want t be napping much past that because then yu are ging t be eating int yur night-time sleep," Stanley says. The pint, he stresses, is t get gd night-time sleep, which wuld ensure yu prbably dn't need t nap at all.

Since1972 Americans have sat thrugh mre than 9,000 episdes f“The Price is Right". a game shw with an ecnmic twist. After being selected frm the audience by the famus catchphrase－“cme n dwn”－cntestants must guess the exact price f prizes. ranging frm guitars t garden furniture. If they bid t high, they are disqualified. In a recent paper, Jnathan Hartley f Harvard Kennedy Schl pints ut an interesting trend. Cntestants have gt a lt wrse at guessing prices.
Technlgy may play a rle. Reaching fr a smartphne is easier than recalling a fact frm memry. Wh remembers phne numbers anymre? Peple may just fall ut f the habit f recalling prices. Still. the rise f the smartphne is a recent phenmenn - it cannt explain why cntestants became wrse guessers during thel970s, 1980s and 1990s.
Ecnmic changes may be a better explanatin. A paper published in 2001 suggested that higher GDP grwth raised “price-recall errr". Like the famus plitician wh thinks a galln f milk csts S15, as peple get richer they wrry less abut budgeting.
A related trend is that Americans devte a shrinking share f their husehld spending t gds - which tend t appear n "The Price Is Right" — and a rising share t services, such as dining and childcare. which d nt. Cntestants might be pretty gd at guessing the price f a gym class r a babysitter.
Perhaps the mst interesting explanatin, hwever, relates t glbalizatin. In the early 1970s cnsumers had a relatively limited selectin f prducts t chse frm. Arund the time that “The Price Is Right” first aired, Sears catalgue s were hundreds f pages lng. But a search n Amazn brings up nearly1,000 results just fr the wrd “taster". Firms ffer a huge range f differentiated prducts at wildly different prices, allwing cnsumers t satisfy their special wants. The result is that guessing prices is trickier.
The rise f nline shpping adds further cnfusin. Online retailers respnd instantly t fluctuatins in supply and demand. Albert Cavall f Harvard Business Schl finds that sme large retailers nw change their prices. bth upwards and dwnwards, twice as frequently as they did a decade ag. All f this suggests that cntestants' guesses may yet get wrse.
12. What des Jnathan Hartley find ut frm “The Price Is Right"?
A. Peple are becming less price-sensitive.
B Technlgy makes it easier t guess prices.
C. Guessing prices has becme a grwing trend.
D. It's necessary t have the habit f guessing prices.
13. Why des the authr mentin "the price f a galln f milk" in Paragraph 3?
A. T present "The Price Is Right" tends t fcus n daily gds.
B. T cmplain “Price-recall errr" is cmmn amng pliticians.
C. T reveal Americans are spending mre n services than gds.
D. T shw a gd ecnmy makes peple less cncerned abut prices.
14. In which way des glbalizatin make guessing prices difficult?
A. It has caused frequent price wars.
B. It has brught a wealth f prducts.
C. It directs peple's attentin t nline shpping.
D. It leads t huge price differences amng retailers.
15. The underlined wrd “fluctuatins” in the last paragraph means .
A. Gals.B. Changes.C. Charges.D. Examples.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了有人发现人们对价格越来越不敏感了，解释了这一现象背后的原因和这一现象会造成的影响。

细节理解题。根据第一段中“In a recent paper, Jnathan Hartley f Harvard Kennedy Schl pints ut an interesting trend. Cntestants have gt a lt wrse at guessing prices.(在最近的一篇论文中，哈佛大学肯尼迪学院的乔纳森•哈特利指出了一个有趣的趋势。选手们猜价格的能力更差了)”可知，乔纳森·哈特利从《价格竞猜》中发现了人们对价格越来越不敏感。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Ecnmic changes may be a better explanatin. A paper published in 2001 suggested that higher GDP grwth raised “price-recall errr". Like the famus plitician wh thinks a galln f milk csts S15, as peple get richer they wrry less abut budgeting.(经济变化可能是一个更好的解释。2001年发表的一篇论文指出，更高的GDP增长导致了“价格召回错误”。就像著名的政治家认为一加仑牛奶要15先令一样，人们越富有，就越不担心预算问题)”可推知，作者在第三段提到“一加仑牛奶的价格”是为了表明良好的经济使人们不那么关心价格。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Perhaps the mst interesting explanatin, hwever, relates t glbalizatin. In the early 1970s cnsumers had a relatively limited selectin f prducts t chse frm.

Firms ffer a huge range f differentiated prducts at wildly different prices, allwing cnsumers t satisfy their special wants. The result is that guessing prices is trickier.(然而，也许最有趣的解释与全球化有关。20世纪70年代初，消费者可以选择的产品相对有限。在《价格竞猜》第一次播出的时候，西尔斯的产品目录长达数百页。但在亚马逊上搜索“烤面包机”一词，就会得到近1000条结果。公司以不同的价格提供各种各样的产品，以满足消费者的特殊需求。结果是，猜测价格变得更加棘手)”可知，全球化带来了丰富的产品，使猜测价格变得困难。故选B。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Online retailers respnd instantly t”以及后文“Albert Cavall f Harvard Business Schl finds that sme large retailers nw change their prices.”可知，在线零售商对供求的改变会立即做出反应。哈佛商学院的Albert Cavall发现一些大型零售商现在改变了他们的价格。画线词意思是“改变”。A. Gals.目标；B. Changes.改变；C. Charges.费用；D. Examples.例子。故选B。
