Have you winterized your
horse yet? Even though global warming may have
made
our climate more mild, many
animals are still hibernating
(
冬眠
). It's too bad
that humans can't hibernate. In fact,
as a species, we almost did.
Apparently, at
times in the past, peasants in France liked a
semi-state of
human hibernation. So
writes Graham Robb, a British scholar who has
studied the
sleeping
habits
of
the
French
peasants.
As
soon
as
the
weather
turned
cold,
people
all over France shut
themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of
doing
nothing at all for months on
end.
In line with this, Jeff Warren, a
producer at CBC Radio's The Current, tells
us
that
the
way
we
sleep
has
changed
fundamentally
since
the
invention
of
artificial (
人造的
)
lighting and the electric bulb.
When
historians
began
studying
texts
of
the
Middle
Ages,
they
noticed
something referred to as
scientists are telling us our ancestors
most likely slept in separate periods.
The business of eight hours'
uninterrupted sleep is a modern
invention.
In
the
past,
without
the
artificial
light
of
the
city
to
bathe
in,
humans
went
to
sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves
around midnight. The late
实用文档
night period
was known as
against
wild
animals,
although
many
of
them
simply
moved
around
or
visited
family
and
neighbours.
According to some sleep researchers, a
short period of insomnia
(
失眠
) at
midnight
is not a disorder. It is normal. Humans can
experience another state of
consciousness around
their
sleeping,
which
occurs
in
the
brief
period
before
we
fall
asleep
or
wake
ourselves
in
the
morning.
This
period
can
be
an
extraordinarily
creative
time
for
some people. The impressive inventor,
Thomas Edison, used this state to hit upon
many of his new ideas.
Playing
with
your
sleep
rhythms
can
be
adventurous,
as
anxiety
may
set
in.
Medical
science
doesn't
help
much
in
this
case.
It
offers
us
medicines
for
a
full
night's
continuous sleep, which sounds natural;
however, according to Warren's theory,
it is really the opposite of what we
need.

French peasants shows the fact that ___________.
A. people might bee lazy as
a result of too much sleep
B. there were signs of hibernation in
human sleeping habits
C.
people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold

Mike Miles hadn't had a stable job in
years. He bounced around from one position
to
another,
never
sure
when
his
last
day
would
be.
Sometimes,
he
lost
a
position
with
less than a day's
notice. This wasn't due to a poor work
ethic
—
from arriving early
to staying late, Miles says he did
everything he could to build a good relationship
with
employers.
But
because
Miles
had
a
criminal
record,
he
was
always
cut
loose
when
it came time to let
staff go.
It wasn't until
October xx, nearly a decade after his release from
prison, that
a
cousin
told
Miles
about
Lancaster
Food
pany,
a
local
business
that
focuses
on
hiring
people released from prison. Hoping
this would clear up what felt like a thick cloud
of
uncertainty
over
his
future,
Miles
submitted
an
application.
He
got
an
interview,
and he then began
a new job.
Miles'
scenario
is
rare
in
Lancaster,
where
the
poverty
rate
holds
steady
at
30%.
This
figure riled Charlie Crystle, Lancaster's co-
founder and CEO. Crystle was
raised in
Lancaster but left in 1986 to purse a college
degree and later, a career
实用文档
in
technology. He co-founded four tech panies, one of
which sold for millions of
dollars back
in xx.
Crystle is skeptical
that many of Lancaster's low-ine residents can get
started
the way he did. He believes
food production is a key way to meet former
offenders
who may lack a college
degree. Lancaster produces products like bread.
Nowadays the
pany
is
rapidly
expanding;
however,
at
just
16
full-time
employees,
including
administration and owners, it doesn't
lower the city's poverty rate.
Crystle
says
he
wants
to
inspire
other
panies
to
rethink
their
current
practices
and
start
conversations
around
minimum
wage
and
employment
opportunities
for
everyone,
including ex-offenders. Dan Jurman, who
chairs the city's mission to bat Poverty,
believes that Crystle's business is a
great way to make this happen.

5. The purpose of
the first paragraph is to show __________ .
A. a man's difficulty in living a

B. an increasingly petitive
workplace
C. a decrease in employment
opportunities
D. the reason why
Lancaster Food pany was founded
6. What
does the underlined word
A.
Annoyed.
B. Discouraged.
C. Amused.

Embarrassed.
7. What words can best describe Charlie
Crystle according to the text?
A. Outgoing, kind and considerate.
B.
Wealthy
but
a
little
bit
greedy.
C.
Humorous, diligent and ambitious.
D.
Successful
and
socially
responsible.
8. In Dan Jurman's opinion, what is the
biggest achievement of Lancaster Food pany?
A. It greatly increases employment
opportunities.
B. It suggests an idea
for fighting poverty.
C. It provides a
way to handle ex-offenders.
D. It
creates a stable environment for people.
