I sleep very well all nights.英译汉

听力原文：W: Hello？

M: Hello, Linda？

W: Hello, Abruzzi.

M: Look, what are you doing on Tuesday night？ There is a great show at the Grand Theater.

W: Tuesday night？ Oh, sorry, I'm planning to finish my term paper. It has to be in on Wednesday morning.

M: Oh well, never mind. Look, Wednesday, why don't we go out for dinner？ Just you and me, very nice and romantic. We could go to that little restaurant you like so much.

W: Sounds like a great idea, but I think I might have to help my roommate clean up the apartment. You see, we are having some people in on Wednesday night, so we want the place; to look really nice.

M: Well, that means you're going to be busy Wednesday night too.

W: I'm afraid so.

M: Well, how about Thursday night？ There's going to be a football championship at school. How about we go and root for the Old Blues？

W: Yes, I was planning to see that, but you know what's come up—it's my mama's birthday, so we are taking her out for dinner.

M: Well, I suppose you're busy on Friday night, too. I had planned to invite you to a concert.

W: Well, I was going to stay in, with all these late nights. But since I've been tied up all week, sure, I'd love to go to the concert with you. What time is it？

(23)

A．She will stay home.

B．She will go the concert with Abruzzi.

C．She will invite Abruzzi to a concert.

D．She has not decided yet.

听力原文：W: Well, good morning, Jack. I haven't seen you for a long time.

M: I have been feeling pretty well until just last few days.

W: What seems to be the trouble now？

M: I feel run down, tired, I've been having headaches almost every day, and I'm not getting as much sleep as I usually do.

W: Have you been eating properly？ Eating the right kind of food is important for your health, you know.

M: Well, I haven't been eating too well, I guess. I usually only have enough time to grab a sandwich and a cup of coffee for lunch.

W: And what about dinner？

M: Sometimes I'm too tired to eat anything at all.

W. That's not good. It's necessary to have a well-balanced diet. Have you been taking vitamin pills？

M: I don't like to take any medicine at all without talking it over with the doctor first.

W: That's very sensible of you. How are things going at work？

M: Oh, pretty well. I've been promoted. So I have a lot of new responsibilities. We've had a lot of urgent projects, so it's been necessary for me to work late almost every night.

W: Working late and worrying aren't very good for you. It's important for you to eat properly and to get enough sleep.

M: But what can I do？ I can't just quit my job.

W: No, you can't do that. First of all, you should take a multiple-vitamin pill with minerals, and you have to be careful about eating. It's important to take the time to eat three good meals a day, and it's even more important for you to get some exercise. Getting some exercise will help you to sleep better.

M: Yes, I suppose so. I have been thinking about taking up jogging. Maybe I'll try to do that this weekend.

B．Teacher and student.

C．Husband and wife.

D．Doctor and patient.

in the morning, I'm tired in the afternoon, and I'm really tired at night. And frankly, I'm tired of being tired. My excuse is that I have two small children who sleep a little, and wake up a lot. Dr. Walsleben, why are we all so tired？

M: We're probably tired because we don't make sleep a priority. And I think as a young mother and a career woman, your days are pretty well filled, and I would suspect that you probably think you can do without sleep or at least cut your sleep short, and one of the things that happens is that we forget that sleep loss accumulates, so even one bad night, teamed with another will make an effect on our performance the following day. The other aspect, which you did touch on, is that even though we may sleep long periods of time, the sleep may not be really of good quality.

W: How serious of a problem is sleep deprivation？

M: Well, it can be very serious, because lack of sleep can affect our performance. It's not… we can get cranky and all that, but if our performance is poor, and we are in a very critical job, we can have a major incident. And there have been many across society in which sleep and fatigue were issues. The Exxon Valdez was one in which the captain got a lot of attention, but the mate who was driving the ship had been on duty for 36 hours… But you can read your local papers; every weekend, you'll see a car crash with probably a single driver at around 2 or 3 am, no reason who they would happen to drive off the road, and we all believe that that's probably a short sleep event that occurred when they weren't looking for it.

W: Dr. Walsleben, I know how this sleep deprivation affects me. By the end of the day, with my children, I'm tired and cranky, I'm not making good parenting decisions, I don't have a lot to give my husband when he comes home, and then I just feel too tired to exercise. So I think, "Oh, I'll eat or I'll have a big cup of coffee, and that will give me the energy that I don't have naturally." Are these pretty common effects of sleep deprivation amongst your patients？

M: They're very common, and so many people accept them.

W: I would even say that by Friday afternoon, I'm afraid to get behind the wheel of a car, because I just feel like I am not a safe driver on the road. That's how tired I am by Fridays.

M: I think it's great of you to have recognized that… and that's a real, major concern for most of America's workers. By Friday, everyone seems to be missing, probably, 5 hours of sleep. This huge deficit can be very serious, if not fatal, to people, and of course people who drive cars for long periods of time are at greater risks.

W: Thanks Dr. Walsleben, at least I don't feel very tired after talking with you.

M: Thank you.

听力原文：W: Good afternoon, sir.

M: Good afternoon.

W: I wonder if you'd like to answer a few questions. We are doing a market survey. It won't take very long.

M: Well, all right.

W: Well, it is a question about your sleeping habits.

M: Sleeping habits？

W: Yes. Just a few questions.

M: Well, I suppose that's all right. Well. What do you want to know？

W: Right. How much time every day do you spend making the bed？

M: Well, I don't make the bed. My wife makes the bed. She's always made the bed. I don't think men should be making beds, do you？

W: Yes, I agree with you. Does she spend a long time doing it？

M: She makes a lot of fuss about making the bed, but not very long. I suppose about a minute or so.

W: What do you do before you go to bed in the evening？

M: That's a bit difficult, isn't it？ I suppose I read novels. Sometimes, you know talk and mess around.

W: What is the bed like when you wake up in the morning？

M: All wrinkled. I am quite a sleeper.

W: Your wife isn't？

M: No, her side of the bed's always in much more of a mess than mine.

W: I see. Do you sleep well at night？

M: No trouble at all.

W: But if you have a problem or if you can't sleep, what do you do？

M: If I have a problem？ Well, I try not to think about it I suppose.

W: You don't have a method for falling asleep？

M: Well, you mean the old counting sheep and that？

W: Yes.

M: No, I just try and think of something else you know.

W: I see and do you wake up sometimes in the middle of the night？

M: No, never. Unless somebody comes to the door or the telephone rings, no, never.

W: And what do you do if you hear a strange noise at night？

M: I'd go down and have a look round.

W: Very brave.

M: No, I'd just he angry I think, being disturbed, worried about the house, you know. And my wife looks after children.

W: A responsible husband.

M: Thank you.

W: Right.

M: Goodbye.
