If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping． I would have laughed heartily． Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags． They had nothing in common with me． 36 ．
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer． 37 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom． This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning．
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness． 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner． My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life．
39 We have done a lot of it since． Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set． There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator． The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains．
40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature． I recommend that you find your way in style．
A． This time there was no tent． B． Things are going to be improved．
C． The trip they took me on was a rough one．
D． I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however． E． I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping． F． After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping． G． There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall． 2． （2017新课标Ⅱ）
Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to get work done． 36 ，there are several ways to handle things． Let’s take a look at them now．
37 ． Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time．
When people try to interrupt you，have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you’ll find them then． 38 ． It can help to eliminate(消除) future interruptions．
When you need to talk to someone，don’t do it in your own office． 39 ． it’s much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are.
If you have a door to your office， make good use of it． 40 ． If someone knocks and it’s not an important matter． excuse yourself and let the person know you’re busy so they can get the hint(暗示) than when the door is closed，you’re not to be disturbed．
A． If you’re busy，don’t feel bad about saying no B． When you want to avoid interruptions at work
C． Set boundaries for yourself as your time goes D． If you’re in the other person’s office or in a public area E． It’s important that you let them know when you’ll be available F． It might seem unkind to cut people short when they interrupt you G． Leave it open when you’re available to talk and close it when you’re not 3． （2017新课标Ⅲ）
Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock． In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock 36 Here is how to make one．
● 37 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important． Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make．
? Rethink mornings． Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities． If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags． 38 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer．
? Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends． If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful． But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found． 39 ? Keep a record and evaluate it weekly． Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel． After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record． 40 If not, take another look at other methods you could try．
A． Get a sleep specialist． B． Find the right motivation．
C． A better plan for sleep can help． D． And consider setting a second alarm． E． If the steps you take are working, keep it up．
F． Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day． G． Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee． 4． （2017北京）
Every animal sleeps，but the reason for this has remained foggy． When lab rats are not allowed to sleep，they die within a month． 71
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories． 72 We know that，while awake，fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells，but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear．
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight， making room for fresh memories to form the next day． 73 Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right． 74 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep， showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping．
If Tononi’s theory is right，it would explain why，when we miss a night`s，we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences．
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner． The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and
