Last evening I was watching the evening news on television .The news was about a prize for scientific
21
. I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my
22
."All great discoveries, "he said, "are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty."
23
a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him.
24
wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery.
The next day 1 happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the

discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different

28
to Nobel Prize when she was 23. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well, 29
of that. Yet I
30
if those "best years" were true in other
31
.
Then how about the field of
32
?
Surely it needed the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it
33
, but look when these people
34
their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln
35 the life of a country-lawyer and was elected to the government at what age? Twenty-six.
But why
36
best years come after thirty? After thirty, I
37
, most people do not want to take risks or try
38
ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was
39
trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!
Perhaps there is still _40__ for me.

Foulsham House is a fine, stone house of the 1790s. It stands high above the River Byre, in twenty five hectares(公顷) of the best farmland in the south-west. Smithson built the house, and the story goes that George, the young Prince(王子)of Wales, fell in love with the beautiful lady Kitty Wake, at one of the first,Lord Foulsham's wild parties. Many great men have ridden on the hills about Foulsham House, and many fine ladies have taken tea in the Green Room.
The house has eight bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living-rooms and a dinning-room with a real Adam fireplace. The gentleman's library has a view over the park and the river that is quite without equal. All rooms are light and airy, with good, high windows and wood floors.
At the back of the house, in the buildings in which the third Lond-Foulsham kept the borses which made him famous, there is garage space for four cars. In many other ways, this house of the 1790s meets the needs of the 1970s.If you wish to know more about Foulsham House, write to : Harvery, Platt, Longford & Sons, 6, Castle Green, Gilham, Byreside.

American society is not nap friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine,“There's even a prohibition(禁令) against admitting we need sleep.”Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote(引用)a proverb:“Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.”Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them.“We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,”says Dr William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an“American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents of falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, President Clinton is trying to take a halfhour snooze(打瞌睡)every afternoon.
About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a mid-afternoon quiet phase(状态局面)”,also called “a secondary sleep gate”. Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.
We Superstars of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we snack on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.
44.The purpose of this article is to_________ .
A.warn us of the wickedness of napping
B.explain the danger of sleepines
C.discuss the side effects of napping
D.convince the readers of the necessity of napping
45.The “American sleep debt”(Linel 2,Para.3)is the result of________
A.the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep
B.the sleep policy of the Clinton Administration
C.the rapid development of American industry
D.the Americans' worry about the danger of sleepiness
46.The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is_________
A.preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shift
B.good practice to eat something light before we go to bed
C.essential to make up for lost sleep
D.natural to take a nap whenever we fee the need for it
