Sandwich was rich(富有), but he liked to play cards (纸牌) for money. He often played for 24 hours, and didn"t even stop to have his meals. He ordered his servants (仆人) to ping him some meat and pead. He put the meat between the two pieces of pead and held the food in his left hand while he played cards with his right hand. People liked Sandwich"s idea, and from then on they ate pead and meat as Sandwich did.From the name of the man, Sandwich, we have the word of the foodtoday.( ) Sandwich was the .A. name of a servantB. name of a man with a lot of moneyC. poor man who lived on playing cardsD. name of food which was liked by the rich( ) Sandwich .A. was so interested (兴趣) in playing cards that he often had no time to have his mealsB. often pought some pead with him to play cardsC. never ate anything when he played cards第 3 页共 7 页D. had no money to play cards with at last( ) People liked Sandwich"s idea because .A. pead, together with meat was cheapB. he always won when he played cardsC. they liked Sandwich himselfD. when they ate with one of their hands they could do something with the other( ) Today,A. also a name of a rich manB. two pieces of pead with meat in betweenC. not interested in playing cardsD. not liked by most of the people( ) As food,A. is usually made of pead and chickenB. sometimes smells good, but sometimes notC. is made of pead and meatD. is easy for us to play.C I don"t think there is anything wrong with your blood. The key to your problem is that long nap（打盹,小睡）after dinner. If you didn"t sleepfor hours during the early part of the evening, you would be more readyto sleep at bedtime. If you didn"t nap after dinner, you would not wantto stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleepingpill. The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the morning. This helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day. You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, engage(从事于) in some sort of physical activity - a sport such as bowling, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get a good nights rest without takinga pill.If you can get into the habit of spending（度过） your evenings thisway, I am sure you will feel less tired during the day. At first it maybe hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up andwatch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy.If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself a few hours"sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning thanyou usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will be readyto sleep at an earlier hour.The most important thing is to avoid taking that nap right after dinnerand avoid taking pills.第 4 页共 7 页According to the writer, it is difficult for you to go to sleepbecause 。

The high voice can help you become more confident.(2) play sports. Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. ②A strong body helps you be full of confidence.(3) encourage yourself.

Try to start again and believe you can do better.(5) pick up a hobby. If you like singing , sing as much as you can. In some ways,a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident.71.
