AIn1910, most Americans slept nine hours a night. That dropped to 7.5 hours by 1975. In 2005, a study by the National Sleep Foundation found that the Americans got only 6.9 hours of sleep on average (平均). The news is even worse for people who work the night shift (夜班). They sleep an average of just five hours.Are we sleeping enough? Not if you believe in the old rule of eight hours of rest, eight hours of work, and eight hours of play. However, Norman Stanley, a British scientist who studies sleep, said, "Some people need as many as 11 hours, but others need as few as three." How much do you really need? "To find out," he added, "simply sleep until you wake naturally, without the help ofan alarm clock. That' s your sleep need."At the same time, other scientists and researchers are searching for new ways to keep us awake longer. Some are developing chemicals that are safer and more powerful than caffeine, the chemical found in coffee and tea. OneExperimental drug, CX717, kept laboratory monkeys working happily, healthily, and powerfully for 36 hours. Future achievements may allow people to safely stay awake for several days straight. One group of researchers is studying agene (基因) found in some fruit flies that lets them get by on one-third the usual amount of sleep. Another group is even working on an electric switch (开关) that immediately wakes up a sleeping brain.This research could lead to a world where we work longer and longer hours with less and less sleep. And if we needed less sleep, we would have more free time to travel, read and spend time with family.21. The first paragraph mainly shows most Americans_____.A. work late into the nightB. are sleeping less than beforeC. get the least amount of sleepD. can' t get a good night' s sleep22.

Laboratory monkeys that took CX717 seemed_____.A. friendlyB. unhealthyC. energeticD. confident24. What's the author's attitude to scientists' research about keeping people awake longer?A. Worried.B. Doubtful.C. Uncaring.D. Supportive.BWednesday 10/22/14Only a few days are left before the skating marathon (马拉松)! It doesn't seem real yet. I am doing everything. I can to get ready. Up until this week, I have been adding miles to my training. Last Saturday, I skated over 30 miles. That is the most I have ever skated at one time. The next day, I was a little tired, but it made me feel confident that l am ready for the 26-mile marathon course.Thursday 10/23/14The last plane trip into Pasco from Seattle was the nicest journey---I sat next to a woman who reminded me of my grandmother. I liked her all the more because she was impressed that I was going to compete in a marathon. She said that she admired the way I had set a goal and worked hard toward it. I’ d never thought of my training that way. But she is right –three months ago, I would have laughed if anyone had suggested that I skate 26 miles, let alone 30.Friday 10/24/14Today is the day! I did it! My time was 2 hours and 15 minutes, l would have come in about 10 minutes faster, but I took a wrong turn and added a mile at the very end. But I met my goal.
