    Also everyone knows the meaning of Mr., Mrs., and Miss. Mr. is used before the names of men. Mrs. is for married women and Miss is for single women. But what is Ms?

    For some time business in the United States have used Ms before a woman's name when they do not know whether the woman is married or not. Today, however, many women prefer to use Ms rather than Mrs. or Miss. The word Mr. does not tell us whether or not a man is married. Many women think this is an advantage for men. They want to be equal to men in this way. These women feel that it is not important for people to know whether they are married or not.

    There are some problems with Ms, however. Not all women like it. Some like the older ways of doing thing. Some find it difficult to pronounce. (Ms sounds like ＂Miz＂,) Generally, young women like it better than older women do . It is difficult to know whether or not Ms will be used by more American women in the future.

    1. Which of the following sentences is true?

    A Businessmen in the United Sates always use Ms before women's names.

    B All women like the new word Ms.

    Winter depression (or winter blues) is a common affliction (折磨) for those who live in our northern climate. Its clinical name is seasonal affective disorder (or SAD) and up to 5% of the population (especially in northern states) may suffer from it. Seasonal affective disorder is characterized by feelings of sadness and depression that occur in the winter months when the temperatures drop and the days grow short . The depression is often associated with excessive eating or sleeping and weight gain. Women are twice to three times more likely to suffer from the winter blues than men.

        There are many effective treatments for winter depression, some of which you can do to help yourself. Increasing your daily exposure to as much natural light as possible can be helpful to many. Any time that you have the opportunity to gain access to more sunlight in the winter months, you should try to do so. Taking walks throughout the day (even if you don’t normally do so), sitting next to a south-facing window at your office, in a classroom, or at home will increase your sunlight exposure. Exercising next to a window or outdoors (when possible) is another activity that can help.

        Although it may be difficult to do, maintaining your schedule and lifestyle will help to keep the depression at bay. A regular pattern of sleep is the most important thing to maintain. It may be helpful, for instance, to have your bedroom lights on a timer to turn on a half-hour before you wake. This may help in waking at a regular time every morning, when it is still dark outside in the winter months.

        Light therapy has shown to be an effective treatment for seasonal affective disorder. While you can purchase expensive, specialized light therapy lighting fixtures for your home or office, some inexpensive alternatives are also available. Another lighting technique to try is to replace commonly used light bulbs in your home with brighter full spectrum (also known as broad spectrum) light bulbs. While more expensive than regular light bulbs, these bulbs provide light that is similar to natural sunlight.

        If none of these techniques seem to help your depressive symptoms, you should consider consulting your family physician or a mental health professional. The winter blues are a form of depression and can be readily treated w ith medications or psychotherapy when other self-help methods aren’t effective. Don’t be afraid to talk about this condition with a professional; it’s nothing to be ashamed or afraid of. With a little effort, the winter blues can be beaten

    What do we know about winter depression?

    A. It is very common where the weather is cold.

    B. It may lead to weight gain.

    C. It occurs when the temperatures drop.

    D. It seldom affects men.

    D. To delay the occurrence of the depression.

    For winter depression, light therapy ___________.

    A. is much more effective than other kinds of therapy

    B. is so expensive that some may not be able to afford it

    C. encourages people to do outdoor exercises

    D. needs specialized bulbs to replace ordinary ones

    C. mental health professionals don’t recommend self- help methods

    American society is not nap (午睡) friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “There's even a prohibition (禁止) against admitting we need sleep”. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven? Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them.

       “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping”, says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.

        Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt; the commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, President Clinton is trying to take a half hour snooze (打瞌睡) every afternoon. 

        About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a mid-afternoon quiet phase” also called “a secondary sleep gate.” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap. We Superstars of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we “snack” on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.

    It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is _______.

       A. unreasonable             B. criminal           C. harmful            D. costly

    The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans _______.

       A. don't like to take naps                                    B. are terribly worried about their national debt

       C. sleep less than is good for them                      D. have caused many industrial and traffic accidents

    The purpose of this article is to _______.

       A. warn us of the wickedness of napping      B. explain the danger of sleepiness

       C. discuss the side effects of napping            D. convince the reader of the necessity of napping

    The “American sleep debt” (Line 1, Para. 3) is the result of _______.

       A. the traditional misunderstanding the Americans have about sleep

       B. the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration

       C. the rapid development of American industry

       D. the Americans’ worry about the danger of sleepiness

    The United States is full of cars. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are a necessary part of life.

    Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.

    Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school. When the children are too young to walk too far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children and the neighbors' as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.

    More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and use less gas. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.

    The United States is filled with cars, but                      .

           A. not every family has a car           B. few families have two cars or even more

           C. every American has a car            D. every family has a car

           A. Workers drive cars to offices and factories    B. Salesmen drive to carry their products.

           A. Small children are driven to school. 

    B. All children go to school by bus in some cities.

           C. Mothers drive their children who can't walk to school.

    In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you, you must be open to them.
