Everybody sleeps, but what people stay up late to catch or wake up early in order not to miss varies by culture?

From data collected, it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep, on average, are sporting events, time changes, and holidays.

Around the world, people changed sleep patterns thanks to the start or end of daylight savings time. Russians, for example, began to wake up about a half-hour later each day after President Vladimir Putin shifted the country permanently to “winter time” starting on October 26.

Russia’s other late nights and early mornings generally correspond to public holidays. On New Year’s Eve, Russians have the world’s latest bedtime, hitting the hay at around 3:30 a. m.

Russians also get up an hour later on International Women’s Day, the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.

Similarly, Americans’ late nights, late mornings, and longest sleeps fall on three-day weekends. Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey (冰球) final.

The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation. The worst night for sleep

9 / 20

in the U. K. was the night of the England-Italy match on June 14. Brits stayed up a half-hour later to watch it, and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights, the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime. That was nothing, though, compared to Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup.

It should be made clear that not everyone has a device to record their sleep patterns; in some of these nations, it’s likely that only the richest people do. And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person. Even if that’s the case, though, the above findings are still striking. If the most health-conscious among us have such deep swings in our shut-eye levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing? 61. What do we learn about the Russians regarding sleep? A. They don’t fall asleep until very late. B. They don’t sleep much on weekends. C. They sleep longer than people elsewhere. D. They get less sleep on public holidays.

62. The underlined word “deprivation” in the last paragraph but one means . A. depression

63. What is the most probable reason for some rich people to use a device to record their sleep

patterns?

A. They have trouble falling asleep. C. They want to get sufficient sleep.

B. They are involved in a sleep research. D. They want to go to bed on regular hours.

64. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?

A. Sleeplessness does harm to people’s health. B. It is important to study our sleep patterns. C. Few people really know the importance of sleep. D. Average people probably sleep.

I have a particular lunch bag kept with me for maybe 14 years. But actually it belongs to my daughter, Molly.

Soon after she came of school age, she became an enthusiastic participant in packing lunches

10 / 20

for herself, her brothers and me. Each bag got a share of sandwiches, apples, milk money and sometimes a note. One morning, Molly handed me two bags, one regular lunch sack(袋子) and the other one with paper clips(纸夹) on it.

“Why two bags?”

“The other one is something else.” “What’s in it?”

“Just some stuffs(东西). Please take it with you.” she replied and then I put both sacks into my briefcase, kissed the child and rushed off.

At midday, after having my lunch from one bag, I opened the other one and shook out the contents. Two hair ribbons, three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny seashell, two animal crackers, a marble, a used lipstick, a small doll, two chocolate kisses and 13 pennies.

I thought they were useless, and then threw them into the wastebasket. That evening Molly came to stand beside me while I was reading the paper. “Where’s my bag?” “What bag?”

“You know the one I gave you this morning.” “I left it at the office, why?”

“I forgot to put this note in it.” She handed over the note, “Besides, I want it back.” “Why?”

“Those are my things in the sack, Daddy, the ones I really like. I thought you might be very happy to play with them like me, but now I want them back. You didn’t lose the bag, did you, Daddy?” Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Oh, no. I just forgot to bring it home,” I lied, “Bring it tomorrow. Okay?” As she hugged my neck with relief, I found the words on the note — “I love you, Daddy.” I felt moved as well as a little ashamed. I looked at the face of my child for a long time.

Molly had given me her treasures — all that a 7-year-old considered important. That was “Love” in a paper sack. But not only had I missed it, but also I had thrown it away because “there wasn’t anything in there I needed.”

The next morning, after kissing my girl, I hurried to my office. I picked up the wastebasket and poured the contents on my desk. I gently washed the mustard(芥末) off my girl’s treasures

11 / 20

and spraying(喷洒) them with breath freshener to kill the smell of onions. And then put them into the bag again. The next evening, I returned it to Molly.

After dinner I asked her to tell me about the stuffs in the sack. Happy and excited, she placed the objects in a row on the dining room table and explained them to me one by one. I found that each of the objects had a story, a memory or was attached to dreams and friends that meant a lot to Molly. Since I was Molly’s beloved father, she was willing to share what she considered important with me.

Later, to my surprise, Molly gave the bag to me once again several days later. Same ratty bag. Same stuffs inside. I felt forgiven. And trusted. And loved. And a little more comfortable wearing the title of Father. Over several months, the bag went with me from time to time. And I have kept it with me until today. 65. What kind of girl was Molly?
