　　　　Hank and his brother, Isaac, walked into home and called their mom. As they entered the living room, they saw their mom lying on the floor.
　　　　Hank shook her and shouted, “Mommy, wake up!" She didn't answer, so Hank tried again.
　　　　Isaac began to cry.
　　　　“Don't worry, Isaac. It will be OK,” Hank said, but he had to think quickly. He was only eight years old. What could he do? Then he remembered how Grandma used to play a game with him. She would pretend to be an operator. She would ask him questions like “What is your name?" “What is your address?” He had learned all the right answers, so he knew what to do. Hank took up the phone and dialed the emergency number. A lady answered the phone and said, “What is your emergency?" Hank was shaking so he took a deep breath and said, “Hello! My name is Hank Robinson. My mom is on the floor. She looks like she is sleeping, but I can't wake her up.” Then the lady asked Hank all the questions he had practised with Grandma. He remembered to speak loudly and clearly because it was important. If the lady did not understand him, she could not help Mom. So again Hank said, “I live at 1203 Oak Street in Madison."
　　　　Soon two doctors came to help. They helped Mom to wake up. Finally, she sat up and began to feel better. She smiled and thanked the doctors, and they told her that Hank was a hero because he helped save his mom's life.

　　　　March 16 is International Sleep Day. Studies have shown that a good night's rest helps us stay healthy, both mentally(精神地) and physically(身体地). Sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning. A good night's sleep helps to learn better.

But what about getting rest during the middle of the day? Short periods of sleep after a mid−day meal, we call it napping(午睡), may help our brains work better.
　　Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better. And napping can help brain performance in older adults. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off age−related memory loss. As we all know, the older we are, the more memory we will lose.
　　The study found that people who took an hour−long nap did much better on mental tests than those who did not nap. The hour−long nappers also did better on the tests than those who napped for shorter and longer periods. In this study, it seems that the most effective(有效的) nap lasted for about an hour, but not much longer. Keep in mind, however, that these are the findings for those over the age of 65.
　　
And there is a little difference between the old and young people. Doctor Michael Twery notes that an hour long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. And 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure to sleep and will help them feel more awake(清醒的). If they nap longer, they will get trapped into(受困于) deep sleep, which can be hard to get out of.
　　If you have trouble falling asleep at night, limit(限制) your daytime nap to under 45 minutes and nap before 3 p.m.

2.C　词义猜测题。根据第三段中“And napping can help brain performance in older adults.（午睡有助于中老年人大脑活动。）”可知，this group of people指中老年人。故选C项。
3.D　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“... it seems that the most effective nap lasted for about an hour, but not much longer. Keep in mind, however, that these are the findings for those over the age of 65.”可知，看起来最有效的午睡时间大约持续一个小时，但是不能更长。这些是对那些超过65岁的人进行研究后的发现。由此可知超过65岁的人的午睡时间是大约1小时。故选D项。
4.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If you have trouble falling asleep at night, limit your daytime nap to under 45 minutes and nap before 3 p.m.（如果你晚上很难入睡，要把你白天的午睡时间限制在45分钟以内，并且在下午3点之前午睡。）”可知，是如果晚上睡眠有问题。故选D项。
