Everyone knows that going to bed early is good for our health. Scientists say they have found
the healthiest time to go to bed. Researchers from the U.K. Biobank say a bedtime of between
10pm and 11pm is best. They say people who sleep between these times have a lower risk of heart
disease. Six years ago, the researchers collected data on the sleep patterns of 80,000 volunteers.
The volunteers had to wear a special watch for seven days so the researchers could collect data on
their sleeping and waking times. The scientists then monitored the health of the volunteers.
Around 3,000 volunteers developed heart problems. They went to bed earlier or later than the
"healthy" 10pm to 11pm timeframe.
One of the authors of the study, Dr David Plans, commented on his research and the effects of
sleeping times on the health of our heart. He said: "While we cannot conclude causation from our
study, the results suggest that early or late bedtimes may be more likely to disrupt the body clock,
with [negative] consequences for cardiovascular health." He said it was important for our body to
wake up to the morning light. He said: "The riskiest time [to go to bed] was after midnight
because it may reduce the likelihood of seeing morning light, which resets the body clock." He
added that we risk cardiovascular disease if our body clock is not reset properly.

每个人都知道早点睡觉对我们的健康有好处。科学家们说，他们已经找到了最健康的
睡觉时间。英国生物样本库的研究人员表示，最好睡在晚上 10点到11点之间。他们说，
在这两者之间睡觉的人患心脏病的风险较低。六年前，研究人员收集了 8万名志愿者的睡
眠模式数据。志愿者必须佩戴七天特殊的手表，这样研究人员就可以收集他们睡眠和醒来
时间的数据。科学家们随后监测了志愿者的健康状况。大约有 3000名志愿者出现了心脏病。
他们比“健康”晚上10点到11点早或晚睡觉。
这项研究的作者之一，大卫·普兰斯博士，评论了他的研究以及睡眠时间对我们心脏健
康的影响。他说：“虽然我们不能从我们的研究中得出因果关系，但结果表明，早睡或晚
睡可能更有可能扰乱时钟，对心血管健康产生负面影响。”他说，我们的身体在晨光中醒
来很重要。他说：“睡觉的时间是午夜之后，因为它可能会减少看到晨光的可能性，从而
重新设置时钟。”他补充说，如果我们的体钟没有被正确地重置，我们就会有心血管疾病的风险。

beautiful mountains and countryside in the world. It might be a great idea to hire a car and drive
around for a couple of weeks?

no idea what he meant. About ten minutes later, the meaning dawned on me.
W: What does it mean?
M: “Be patient.”
W: How did you figure that out?
M: From the situation, he wasn’t angry. He was calm. Besides, I didn't think he was
interested in my shirt!
W: That adds up. You’re very good at figuring out idioms, man!

【原文】Fast food isn’t quite as fast as it used to be. A new study finds that McDonald’s has
posted its slowest drive-through time since the service was first conducted 15 years ago. At
McDonald’s, customers spend on average 3 minutes and 9 seconds from the time they place their
orders until they receive their food, as about ten seconds more than the industry average, a lot
slower than a decade ago according to the study, which was conducted by QSR, an industry trade
publication. And McDonald’s isn’t alone in slowing down; other chains also see their drive-
through performance slow down. Among the reasons for the slowing service, today there are more
choices on the menu and products themselves are more complex and take longer to prepare.
Speed, of course, is essential to the drive-through experience, and drive-throughs are hugely
important to chains such as McDonald’s, Burger King and Tacobell. Usually, the drive-through
accounts for 60 to 70 percent of all business that go through a fast food restaurant, notes Sam
Ochers, editor of QSR. Of course, consumers also want their orders prepared correctly, and on that
score, Ochers says accuracy is still really high.

【原文】M：Could you take this down to the accounting office for me, please?

Thai restaurant you're always telling me about.

【原文】W：Stan, you've already finished your essay? I've been working on mine for
two weeks, and I'll need another week before it's finished.
M：I know, Jenny, it's a huge project-researching, thinking of an argument and then
finding details that show the argument is true.
W：That part only took me one week. But writing and rewriting, and then deleting
and writing again... That's killing me!
M：That part didn't bother me.
W：What's your secret?
M：I write an outline: a basic plan of what I'm going to say. And then I fill it in
with topics for each paragraph. After that, I put notes about what details to include.
W：That sounds hard.
M：It's easier than you think, and when it's time to write, everything goes really
smoothly from last semester that I could show you, if you're interested.

show and comfortable leather seats. What we don't have is cooking equipment. All buses
also have a bus host, whose job is to make sure all the guests get back on the bus aftereach stop.
W：After each stop? So guests don't spend the whole evening driving around on the
bus?
M：No! In fact, we take them to 4 different clubs during the evening. At each club,
we've booked special VIP entrance, which means no waiting to get in, and everyone gets
a free drink.
W：Anything else our listeners should know about the parties?
M：Yes, all guests must be smartly dressed. No jeans or sports shoes. The only
exception would be if they want to have a fancy-dress party. And we need to know the
time you book if you are planning a fancy-dress party. Clubs like to know in advance
when parties will be arriving.
W：Thanks, Dennis.
10.【答案】17. C 18. A 19. A 20. C
【原文】M: When I was in college, I spent a term studying in London. Even though
we speak the same language, English people and Americans are very different. They think
that we Americans are loud and that we speak our minds too much. So I tried to listen a
bit more and not be so self-centered. I love the lifestyle there. Going out for afternoon
tea was fun, and I always did that with my friends. And I really loved the old buildings.
We don't have anything that old in the United States, so it was pretty amazing! By the
way, I also went to Australia once. The buildings there weren't so attractive either. The
British also have a different sense of humor. Their comedy shows on TV are really funny.
I'd like to say my experience was a positive one. In fact, I'm saving up money so I can
go back there again.

trees for my neighbors this afternoon.
W: Well. Don’t work too hard.

You can see them in every airport in the world. They are businessmen and women who have
to travel for their work.
When they first applied for the job, they may have thought of good food and hotels, large
sum of money and modern cities. Now they have to sit in airport waiting rooms, tired and
uncomfortable in their smart clothes, listening to the loudspeaker announce “The fight to Tokyo,
or Berlin, or New York is put off for another two hours.” Some people say to me, “How lucky you
are to be able to travel abroad in your work! You can go travelling without paying any money by
yourself!” They think that my job is like a series of holidays. It is not.
There are advantages, of course, and I do think I am lucky, but only because I can go to
places I would never visit if I was a tourist.

would want in your hotel?

a teacher. I want to go to Columbia University in New York, but it’s so expensive. It’s also very far
from where my family lives. I also would like to go to Northwestern University, but none of my
friends from high school are going there.
W: You’ll make new friends when you go to college.
M: I’m worried about making new friends. Also, I’m worried that I won’t be smart enough to
get good grades at a difficult college. I could go to the University of California, but I don’t think
they have a good teaching school. Most importantly, I want to go to a school that is famous for
teaching.W: Those are all excellent schools, James. If you’re accepted into all those schools, you
should consider yourself very fortunate. When I went to school, I went to a very small college, and
I still got a great job as principal. You will be successful because you work very hard.
M: Thanks for your help, Principal Skinner.
