26、y in the world, although in some cases you can only call big cities. When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you can ask the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else, in this c
27、ase you should ask for a “person-to-person“ call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge call where the person who receives the call pays. If the international line is busy, you can reserve(留下) a call, explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free.You can sav
28、e money by calling outside office hours, for example, early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country that you are calling.

29、. There is one problem: change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the summer.

32、 the second largest continent in the world, Yet much of Africa has not been developed by man into farms and cities. One of the reasons is that a dangerous and unpleasant insect called the tsetse fly(采采蝇)is found there. This fly makes its home in the heart of Africa.The tsetse fly is a little larger
33、than the housefly. Its name means “fly that destroys cattle“. It lives by sucking blood from animals. It attacks man, as well as his herds of cattle.The tsetse fly carries sleeping sickness to those men it bites. Sleeping sickness makes men veryill, and some forms of it cause death. The tsetse fly a
34、lso causes diseases in animals. In some places in Africa, it has destroyed whole cattle herds.It is hard for man and his cattle to live with the tsetse fly. Some experts even think that it has kept 400 million square miles of Africa a wilderness. This wilderness is a place as large as the whole Unit

In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “There s even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep“. Nobody wants to be caugh
40、t napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness 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
41、 Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “American sleep debt “which one member said was important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepness: people causing industrial accidents or fallin
42、g asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, president Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze(打瞌睡)every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a midafternoon quiet pha
43、se “also called“ a secondary sleep gate“. Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.We superstars of Snooze dont nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we “snack“ on sleep, whenever, wh
44、erever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.（分数：4.00）(1).It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is _.A. unreasonable B. criminal C. harmful D. costly（分数：1.00）
45、A.B.C.D.(2).The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans _.A. dont like to take napsB. are terribly worried about their national debtC. sleep less than is good for themD. have caused many industrial and traffic accidents（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The purpose of this article is to _.A. w

Some of these tribes have never had any communication outside of their sma
48、ll areas. When they do contact the outside world, their lives usually change. Learning how to change without losing the best of their own cultures is a problem for them.One native tribe in New Guinea has a difficult situation. The people of the tribe are being pulled in two ways. Copper has been dis
49、covered under the land where they have lived for centuries. Developers want to take the copper out of the ground, to mine it. The tribe needs the money that a copper mine would bring. The problem is that the copper is directly under the most important building of their society. These buildings are a necessary part of their religion. How can the copper be mined without changing their religion? A group of people are trying to help the tribe to learn to com
