An afternoon nap (午睡) is one of the joys of life, although too much napping could
signal all is not well.In some cultures，people will have a daily nap—this is fine.The
warning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime, when they did not
sleep before.There is certainly a good reason to believe that daytime sleepiness—as
in the Alzheimer’s disease study—can be a marker of an underlying condition.
“For most people, napping during the day is mainly a sign that you are not getting
enough sleep at nigh，” says Dr.Neil Stanley, a sleep expert.“If you feel sleepy
during the day, you should think about taking a nap.That is what the body needs—it
doesn’t need to be kept awake with caffeine.It needs sleep.” The feeling to notice is
“sleepiness” , he says，not “tiredness”， which could be more psychological and
linked to stress.
So how do you nap well? “The key thing，” says Stanley, “is how long your nap
lasts.” Choose either a 20－ or 90－minute nap.“When you fall asleep, you’ll
quickly go through the lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep.You
don’t want to wake up because that’s when you wake and feel worse than you did
before.” Napping for 20 minutes means you will wake up before you go into deep
sleep；napping for 90 minutes means you’ll complete a sleep cycle.
Once you factor in the time it takes to fall asleep— “Some people are better at
napping than others but, ”says Stanley，“a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5
and 12 minutes.”—you can set an alarm, allowing a 30－ to 40－minute period for a
short nap, and up to two hours for a longer one.
A good time to nap is during the body’s natural dip in the afternoon, between 2 pmand 4 pm.“You don’t really want to be napping much past that because then you are
going to be eating into your night－time sleep，” Stanley says.The point, he stresses,
is to get good night－time sleep, which would ensure you probably don’t need to nap
at all.

Can a fish be depressed？This question has been on my head ever since I spent a
night in a hotel across from a sad－looking fish.His name was Bruce Lee.
The pleasant woman at the front desk assured me that he was well taken care of.Was I
incorrectly assuming his laziness was a sign of being upset?
When I sought answers from scientists, I assumed that they would find the question
ridiculous，but they did not.New research has been totally shifting the way thatscientists think about fish cognition (认知)，building a case that pet and owner are not
nearly as different as many assume.The neurochemistry (神经化学) is so similar that
it’s scary, said Julian Pittman, a professor.We tend to think of them as simple living
things, but there is a lot we don’t give fish credit for.
Dr.Pittman likes working with fish, in part，because they are so obvious about their
depression.A zebrafish gets dropped in a new tank.If after five minutes it is hanging
out in the lower half, it’s depressed.If it’s swimming up the top, then it’s not.
Is depression the right word? There’s an obvious issue that we cannot ask animals
how they feel, says Dr.Diego A．Pizzagalli.Neither fish nor rats can catch the entire
range of depression as we know it.
There is a heated debate about whether “anxious” or “depressed” is a more
appropriate term.But what has convinced Dr.Pittman and others over the past ten
years is watching the way the zebrafish lose interest in just about everything: food，
toys，exploration，just like clinically depressed people who are withdrawn．The same
is true of fish.
One of the things we’re finding is that fish are naturally curious and seek novel things
out, said Dr.Braithwaite.In other words，your goldfish is probably bored.To help get
rid of depression，she urges introducing new objects to the tank or switching the
locations of items.
5. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．Fish are considered simple living things.
B．Pet and owner are always assumed to be the same.
C．Scientists have learnt a lot about fish cognition.
D．Fish and human beings have something in common.
6. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A．Quiet and shy.
B．Happy and excited.
C．Interested and careful.
D．Disappointed and surprised.
7．Why can fish become bored according to the text?A．They need oxygen from the air.
B．They are not born to be curious.
C．They lack new things to explore.
D．They can’t locate the positions of items.
8．What might be the best title for the text?
A. Fish Depression Is Not a Joke
B．Fish Can Be a Boring Pet
C．Fish Need Better Care More
D．Fish Cognition Does Not Exist
