More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing

　　Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known，new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.

　　Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep，as well as a number of other sleep problems，than people who sleep 8 hours a night.People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers.

　　These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside。more than 8 hours a night.He added that“it might be a good idea'’for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.

　　Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.

　　For the current report，Kripke reviewed the responses of 1，004 adults to sleep questionnaires，in which participants indicated how much they slept during the Week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night，arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep，and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.

　　KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed.As evidence，he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”he said.

　　More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing

　　1. E： Investigators ...found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling, than...該句回應(yīng)了文章的主題―睡眠時間太長不是好事;對應(yīng)被選項發(fā)現(xiàn)只有E和F與這個內(nèi)容有關(guān)系，但段落最后一句中又提到了睡眠不足的人的問題，因此判斷E是答案(睡眠長和睡眠短的人所面臨的睡眠問題)。

　　2. B.分析：段落的結(jié)構(gòu)-- Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance..表明了該段的中心是講述“長期睡眠不足的潛在危險”

　　3. A. 分析：對于該段落答案的選擇具有一定的迷惑性，A和F容易相互成為干擾項，但由于段落中提到的“睡眠問題”是屬于問卷上要回答的內(nèi)容，是和Keprike的直接研究有關(guān)，所以判斷A是答案，同時推測F可能是干擾項。

　　4. D： 段落中出現(xiàn)的Kripke found， Kripke noted和he added表明“Kripke的觀點和態(tài)度應(yīng)該是該段的中心”，對比被選項排除C(段落中沒有出現(xiàn)批評的話語)和F(段落中沒有具體提到睡眠問題的表現(xiàn)形式)，而段落最后第2句提到了克服失眠的方法 ――少花時間在床上，與D呼應(yīng)。

　　5.F.分析：根據(jù)搭配結(jié)構(gòu)need to do sth.判斷所有選項都在語法上合適。借助搭配句意：“為了獲得晚上好的休息，人們沒有必要。。”判斷F(睡眠超過8小時)。

　　6.E.分析：借助搭配句意：“睡眠時間長的人根據(jù)報道更有可能。?！保⒔Y(jié)合文章主題―睡眠時間長不是好事情，判斷E合適。也可借助文章中的相關(guān)內(nèi)容(利用題干中的Long sleepers和more likely 作為答案線索)：KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.

　　7. A. 分析：借助搭配句意：“其中的一個睡眠問題是在午夜醒來，不能。。”，直接判斷A(再次入睡)合適。
