Want to fall asleep fast? Read a book before going to bed． It is at the top of most lists if you ask the Internet for tips for falling asleep． But why does reading make us so sleepy?

“For many, reading can be relaxing and enjoyable． It can put your mind and body in the right mood to go to sleep,” says Raman Malhotra． He is an expert at the Washington University Sleep Center． Of course, that’s if you’re reading something relaxing． According to Dr． Malhotra, reading anything that could make you too excited probably isn’t good for relaxing．

Making it a habit to read every night before bed might make reading even more helpful for your sleep． This is because having a regular “relaxing time” before bed can help improve your sleep． “Adding a bedtime routine of 15 to 30 minutes can separate your ‘sleep time’ from activities that can cause excitement,” says Dr． Malhotra．

Moreover, reading tires your eyes out． This happens with both paper books and e-books, but Dr． Malhotra recommends paper books．

“Most of the digital readers send out blue light,” and this light can cause our body’s internal clocks (生物钟) to not work correctly, he says． “This will make it more difficult for us to fall asleep．”

That blue light is why doctors advise you not to spend time using your phone too close to your bedtime． Besides, if you’re reading on a phone, you may easily end up opening up other apps and staying up late．

On the other hand, sometimes you’re trying to finish a book but are having a hard time staying awake through it． In this case, Dr． Malhotra suggests trying a brighter light． You can also sit straight, or make sure the room isn’t too warm． If you do get really tired, though, it’s probably a sign that you need some rest．

Reading might not be the best sleep aid (辅助物) for everyone, but if you’ve been experiencing some trouble recently, it might be worth having a try．

37． According to Malhotra, what may be the result of reading exciting books before bed?

A． Being awake．           B． Being hungry．           C． Being tired．              D． Being Angry．

38． Why are paper books recommended by Dr． Malhotra?

A． To advise people to stay up reading．

B． To encourage people to love reading．

C To get more money by selling paper books．

D． To stop people being influenced by blue lights．

39． What does Dr． Malhotra advise people to do when they are tired of reading?

A． Build a big room．                                              B． Lie down to read．

C． Put in a brighter light．                                        D． Stop to have some snacks．

40． Which can be the best title for the text?

A． Read for Fun                                                       B． Sleeping Habits

C． Read to Sleep                                                      D． Sleeping problems

参考答案

一、单项选择（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

1． B

【解析】

【详解】句意：卡塔尔是一个亚洲国家。

考查冠词的用法。a和an是不定冠词，意为“一个”，a用于辅音音素开头的单词前，an用于元音音素开头的单词前。the表示对某人或事进行特指等。Asian是元音音素开头的单词，所以表达“一个亚洲国家”用不定冠词an。故选B。

2．C

【解析】

【详解】句意：一个阳光明媚的日子，爱丽丝坐在窗边，和她的好朋友聊天。

考查介词辨析。past经过；over在上面；by在旁边；of……的。根据“Alice sat … the window”可知，此处指坐在窗旁边，故选C。

…………
