Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, and Bill Clinton are all famous fans of napping - and with

good reason Various evidence, including the universal tendency of toddlers and the elderly to nup i'n the afternoon, and the afternoon nap of siesta cultures, have led many scientists to the same conclusion: nature tells us to take a nap in the middle of the day Short periods of sleep have been shown to improve alertness, memory

and motor skills, decision-making, and mood - all while cutting down on stress, carelessness, and even heart

disease

Our biological urge to sleep in the middle of the aftemoon coincides with a slight drop in body temperature This

drop occurs whether we have lunch or not A midday nap is apartof the daily ioutine of many cultures, especially those near the equator This all seems to suggests that napping may have been parttf an ancient

biological signal to get us out of the hot midday sun

Whatever the reason, if you have an opportunity for an afternoon nap, take one Studies show that2Ominutes of sleep in the afternoon provides more rest than getting 20 minutes more sleep in the morning A 20-minute power nap provides the energy for a fresh burst of new ideas and energy Naps seern to eliminate ihe need for more caffeine during the workday, and this lowers stress

The do's and don'ts of napping

The early afternoon seems to be the best time to nap - approximately eight hours after you have woken up in the

morning Twenty to thirty minutes is all you need to get the full rewards of a midd ay nap There is no proof that

sleeping longer than this is any better; in fact, the opposite may be true

In the dark, our brains produce more of the sleep-inducing hormon e melatonin so close the blinds, tum off the lights, and consider using a sleeping mask Keep the temperature on the warrner side Don,t forget to turn off

your cell phone And avoid caffeine for a few hours before a nap Give it a try for yourself, and-see if you aren,t

amazed at the results!

A why our bodies get tired in the afternoon B how much sleep is ideal for people

C' why afternoon naps are good for us D which famous people are known for napping

Question 15: A11 of the following are mentioned as things that are improved by napping except A alertness B decision-making c food digestion D memory

A occurs before B is accidental C is unnoticeable D happens together

In past centuries, Native Americans living in the arid areas

of what is now the southwestern United States relies on a variety of strategies to ensure the success of their agriculture First and foremost, water was the critical

factor The soil was rich because there was little rain to leach out

ownproblems Long p.eriods of drought could have made agricul flood could just as easily have destroyed a crop

the minerals, but the low precipitation caused its ture impossible; on the other hand, a sudden

Several techniques were developed to solve the water problem The simplest was to plant crops in the floodplains

and wait for the annual floods to water the young opr A less

dangerous technique was to build dikes or dams to control the flooding

I!9t dikes both protectedihe piants against &cessive flooding and prevented the water

from escaping too quickly once it had arrived The liopi p.o-pt" designed their fields in a checkerboard pattern,

with many small dikes, each enclosing only one or two sialks of maie (corn), *rrit* other groups built a series of dams to control the floods A third technique was to dig inigation

ditches to u.i"g water from rivers water was sometimes carried to the fields in jars, particularly if the sea-son was dry Some

"rop, * planted where they

could be watered directly by the runoff from cliff walls

Another strategy Native Americans used to ensure a continuous food supply was to plant their

crops in more than

one place, hoping that if one crop failed, another would survive Howevli,

since the-soil was rich and not easily exhausted, the same patch of ground could be cultivated year after year, whereas in the woodlands of the

eastern

United States it was necessary to abandon a plot of ground after afew years oii**irg In the Southwest, often

two successive crops were planted each year

It was a common southwestern practice to grow enough food

so that some could be dried and stored for

emergencies' If emergency supplies ran low, the peop-ie turned to the ro"ar wila jants If

these failed, they moved up into the mountains to gather the wild plants that might have suryived in the cooler atmosphere.
