適應(yīng)自己所處的環(huán)境，與C選項(xiàng)相符。.【解析】選D。通過總結(jié)文章大意可知，作者兒時(shí)不喜歡AnneofGreenGables中的Anne,而等到長大了再讀這本書卻對(duì)Anne大加贊賞。這說明重讀一本書，即使這本書自己原來并不喜歡，再讀過之后也許會(huì)有截然不同的感受，所以作者鼓勵(lì)我們要試著重讀一遍自己從前并不一定喜歡的書，與D選項(xiàng)符合。閱讀理解（B）Studiesshowthat20minutesofsleepintheafternoonprovidesmorerestthan20minutesmoresleepinthemorning.Thebodyseemstobedesignedforthis,asmostpeople'sbodiesnaturallybecomemoretiredintheafternoon,about8hoursafterwewakeup.Whenyousleepyoupassthroughdifferentstagesofsleep,knowntogetherasasleepcycle.Thesestagesincludelightsleep,deepsleep(whichisbelievedtobethestageinwhichthebodyrepairsitself),andrapid-eyemovementsleep,orREMsleep(duringwhichthemindisrepaired).Manyexpertsadvisetokeepthenapbetween15and30minutes,assleepinglongergetsyouintodeeperstagesofsleep,fromwhichit'smoredifficulttoawaken.Also,longernapscanmakeitmoredifficulttofallasleepatnight,especiallyifyoursleepdeficit赤字)isrelativelysmall.However,researchhasshownthata1-hournaphasmorerestorativeeffectsthana30-minutenap,includingamuchgreaterimprovementincognitive(認(rèn)知的)function.Thekeytotakingalongernapistogetasenseofhowlongyoursleepcyclesare,andtrytoawakenattheendofasleepcycle.Asthereareprosandconstoeachlengthofsleep,youmaywanttoletyourscheduledecide:ifyouonlyhave15minutestospare,takethem!Butifyoucouldworkinanhournap,youmaydowelltocompleteawholesleepcycle,evenifitmeanslesssleepatnight.Ifyouonlyhave5minutestospare,justcloseyoureyes;evenabriefresthasthebenefitofreducingstressandhelpingyourelaxalittle,whichcangiveyoumoreenergytocompletethetasksofyourday.Ifyougetupat6:30am,whatisthebesttimeforyoutotakeanap?A.About12:30pm.
