• 7．I was with my mom one day as we took a walk while window shopping.We both knew we wouldn't be buying much.
     I remember I was looking up at the people we walked by.Ladies wore five-inch heels and bright clothing.Men wore expensive scents（香水）and creams that might wipe away the wrinkles （皺紋） on their faces.An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest.I could deny it no longer；I was ashamed of my mother.
     We were in a high-class neighborhood-I knew that.We lived in a small，overpriced apartment building at the edge of our county.Mom chose to move there because she knew the schools were good.I realized for the first time that we didn't belong there.
     I could see the heavy lines around mom's eyes and mouth.She wore cheap clothes and worn-out shoes.Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet，and her hair was too gray for her age.
     My mom is nothing extraordinary，yet at that moment，she stood out because she was just so plain.I didn' t want to be seen with her，although there was no one important around to see me anyway.I felt embarrassed about being at her side.
     We were standing in the middle of a high-end store，and mom was holding a sweater.She said， "This will look good on you.Do you want it？" It was much too expensive，but I almost thoughtlessly answered "yes".Then I took a closer look at the small，tired woman with a big smile and a sweater in her hands，happy to be giving me something so nice.My words died in my throat.
     Her clothes were worn and old because she spent her money buying me new ones.She looked so tired because she was busy working to provide for me.She didn't wear jewelry or perfume because she was content with spending what little money she had on me.
     Suddenly，my mom was beautiful and extraordinarily wonderful in my eyes.
     I was no longer ashamed of her，but of myself.
     "Do you want it？" my mom repeated.
     "No，thanks，" I said.
  
  （1）Why did the author describe the passersby while window shopping？

  
  A．To show her envy toward rich people.
  B．To express her curiosity about others.
  C．To explain the current fashion trends.
  D．To highlight her mother's plainness.
  （2）What most likely made the author feel uneasy？

  
  A．The feeling of being uncomfortable in high-end stores.
  B．The feeling of not belonging in the neighborhood.
  C．The feeling of being embarrassed about her mom.
  D．The feeling of being ashamed of herself.
  （3）Why did the author's words "die in her throat"？

  
  A．She was too tired to talk.
  B．She didn't want the sweater.
  C．She was upset with her mom.
  D．She realized the sacrifices her mom had made.
  （4）How would the author probably feel about her earlier attitude toward her mom？

  
  A．Pleased.
  B．Regretful.

• 8．Napping may be part of life for most of us.However，some countries where daytime naps have long been part of the culture，such as Spain，now discourage the habit.Meanwhile，some companies in the US now promote napping as a way to boost productivity. "It's important to try to reveal the biological pathways that contribute to the reason why we nap，" says Dashti from Harvard Medical School.
     Previously，co-senior author Richa Sexena at Massachusetts General Hospital（MGH） and he colleagues used many databases of genetic and lifestyle information to study other aspects of sleep.To gain a better understanding of the genetics of napping，they performed a genome（基因組）-wide association study （GWAS），which involves rapid scanning of complete sets of DNA of a large number of people.
     For this study，the researchers used data from the UK Biobank，which includes genetic information from 452，633 people.All the participants were asked to clássify their naps during the day as "never/rarely"，"sometimes" or "usually".The GWAS identified 123 regions in the human genome associated with daytime napping.Then the participants wore activity monitors called accelerometers，which can provide data about daytime napping.This data also showed that the self-reports about napping were accurate.
     Several other features of this study bolster its results.For example，the researchers obtained similar findings in an analysis of the genomes of 541，333 people collected by 23 andMe，a consumer genetic-testing company.Also，a significant number of the genes near or at regions identified by the GWAS are already known to play a role in sleep.
     The team also identified at least three potential mechanisms that promote napping.Some people need more shut-eye than others.A daytime nap can help make up for poor-quality sleep the night before.People who rise early may "catch up" on sleep with a nap. "This tells us that daytime napping is biologically driven and not just an environmental or behavioral choice，" says Dshti.Some of these mechanisms are linked to health concerns，such as a large waistline and increased blood pressure，though more research on those associations is needed.
  
  （1）What did the researchers at MGH focus on in their new study？

  
  A．The causes of long napping time.
  B．The benefits of napping frequently.
  C．The reasons behind the napping habit.
  D．The genes contributing to poor sleeping quality.
  （2）Why did the researchers use the activity monitors？

  
  A．To study the database more efficiently.
  B．To find the cause of genetic variation.
  C．To guarantee the accuracy of the self-reports.
  D．To explore how the participants feel after the naps.
  （3）What does the underlined word "bolster" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？

  
  A．Draw attention to.
  B．Give support for.
  C．Play a decisive role in.
  D．Show different opinions on.
  （4）According to Dashti，what will the researchers study next？

  
  A．The ways to help people sleep better.
  B．The causes of and solutions to some health concerns.
  C．The impact of environment on people' s napping choice.
  D．The connection between some health problems and the three mechanisms.
