26、ld and ugly wastebasket with a real rhinoceros (犀牛) foot as its base. He filled it with metal weights and tied 30 feet of clothes-line to either side.

In
32、 fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist (专家) at the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Medicine, “Theres even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep“. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness
33、nine and wickedness eleven.“Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. We have to totally change our attitude toward napping.“ says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified a
34、n “American sleep debt“ which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent r
35、eports, President Clinton is trying to take a half hour snooze (打盹) every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a mid-afternoon quiet phase“ also called “a secondary sleep gate“. Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can redu
36、ce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap. We dont nap to replace shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift.

These can contradict (同矛盾) what you are saying, especially when you are trying to disguise the way you feel. For example, a very common defensive position, assumed when people
41、feel threatened in some way, is to put your arm or arms across your body. This is a way of shielding yourself from a threatening situation. This shielding action can be disguised as adjusting ones coif (束发帽) or watch strap. Leaning back in your chair especially with your arms folded is not only defe
42、nsive, its also a way of showing your disapproval, of a need to distance yourself from the rest of the company.A position which betrays (显示) an aggressive attitude is to avoid looking directly at the person you are speaking to. On the other hand, approval and desire to cooperate are shown by copying
43、 the position of the person you are speaking to. This shows that you agree or are willing to agree with someone. The position of ones feet also often shows the direction of peoples thoughts. For example, feet or a foot pointing towards the door can indicate that a person wishes to leave the room. Th
44、e direction in which your foot points can also show which of the people in the room you feel most sympathetic towards, even when you are not speaking directly to that person.（分数：4.00）(1).Body positions are used to show _.
