Should naps（小睡） actually1. （take） during the day？ Well， we certainly know from2.（evident） in the sleep center and that of many other scientists that naps can give you benefits for both your brain3. your body． But naps can actually be4.double﹣edged sword because while we're awake during the day， we're building up sleepiness or sleep pressure． So when you try to fall asleep at night， you'll fall asleep quickly and then you'll stay asleep． And when we sleep， we actually release that sleepiness so that we wake up the next morning feeling5.（refresh）．
So if you take a nap during the day， especially if you take it too late in the afternoon， you will actually release some of that sleepiness and it will make it much6.（hard） to fall asleep and stay asleep soundly throughout the night． So the advice would be if you don't struggle with your sleep and you can nap7.（regular）， then naps are just fine．
But if you do find it difficult8. （fall） asleep or stay asleep at night， then you should avoid naps and try to build up that healthy sleepiness in the evening．
The ideal nap depends on9. you want from that nap． Different stages of sleep actually give you different types of brain and body10. （benefit）．

How to stay focused in class
Being relaxed during class is a bad habit， and it is also bad to your grade． Focusing in class not only proves to teachers that you are a capable student but also shows that you have the ability to control yourself， which will be very important．
1. No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class， try your best to avoid them． Talking with friends around you is not going to give you the focus in class． This will get you into trouble．
Look at teacher and make eye contact． Your teacher is not just standing up there talking．2. Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention by looking them in the eye． This person should have your full attention at all times during class．
Take notes． By taking notes， you'll be able to "get into" the lesson． Write down key points as your teacher speaks． And listen to the key phrases such as "This is important" "This is the main idea" "This will be the test" etc．3.
Get involved in class discussions． This is a wonderful way to become a more focused， successful student． When a teacher asks a question， offer to answer it．4.This shows the teacher that you are listening carefully during the class．
Ask a question．5.This really shows your teacher that you want to be better， and can recognize the things you are having difficulty with． Chances are that someone else in the class has the same question （and was too afraid to ask!）． They'll be relieved， and so will you．
A． Avoid sitting with friends．
B． This can help you listen more attentively．
C． If he or she ask for an opinion， share your own．
D． Talking with friends makes you lose interest in class．
E． He or she is trying to give you an acceptable education．
F． The more quickly you answer， the more attention you pay．
G． If you don't understand something， never be afraid to ask．
Even plant can run a fever， especially when they're under attack by insects or disease． But unlike human， plants can have their temperature taken from 3，000 feet away straight up． A decade ago， adopting the infrared（红外线） scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites， physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress． The goal was to let farmers precisely（精确的） target pesticide（杀虫剂） spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field， which always includes plants that don't have pest problems．
Even better， Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye． Fixed on a plane flown at 3，000 feet at night， an infrared scanner measured the heat sent out by crops． The data were transformed into a color﹣coded map showing where plants were running "fevers"． Farmers could then spot﹣spray， using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would．
The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984， after only three years． Farmers resisted the new technology and long﹣term supporters were hard to find． But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce and refinements（改进） in infrared scanning， Paley hopes to get back into operation． Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works． "This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States，" says George Oerther of Texas A& M， who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture， thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade． But only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10years ago．

2.In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely， we can use infrared scanning to ．
A. draw a color﹣coded map
B. evaluate the damage to the crops

D. measure the size of the affected area
3.The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties of ．
A. the lack of official support
B. its high cost
C. the lack of financial support
D. its failure to help increase production
4.Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of ．
A. full support from agricultural experts
B. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
C. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
D. growing concern about the over use of pesticides on crops
