　　Cooks around the globe like it; housewives have used it for centuries to add flavor to their cooking and grandmothers have always had some doubt about what our science has found out about it．Chinese garlic(大蒜)is a wonder drug．

　　Garlic is one of the most effective and common medicines for the common cold．The best way to eat it is in hot soup, but another interesting way is to put some slices of raw garlic over bread．It helps clear up the nose as well as decongesting(解除充血)the chest．In fact, a slice of raw garlic eaten every day keeps almost all illness away．But most of us are quite afraid of its strong smell so we do not take this seriously．

　　There is a word of caution, however．Since it is a warming and drying herb, people with a hot body should use it carefully．For some people, garlic may cause stomach pains or some other problems．Also in many cases, garlic has been known to make conditions like sleeplessness even worse．It can affect the mind and concentration, so garlic is best avoided for people performing activities that require concentration．People who easily get angry or have a red face should use garlic carefully．

　　In many cases, garlic may cause heat in the body．Also, because it has such strong chemical elements, some people simply cannot stand it．

　　Another point of caution is that since it is a blood-thinning agent, patients are advised to consult their doctors before they start taking garlic in regular quantities．In a healthy person, its intake can keep a person free of all kinds of physical discomfort over a long period of time．

　　Kangaroos live only in Australia and on the island near it. Not many people knew they were there until about 200 yeas ago. At that time, Captain Cook sailed to Australia from England.

　　“What's the animal called?” asked the captain.

　　“We tried to get the people to tell us,” answered a sailor, “They kept saying ‘Kangaroo’. They wouldn't say anything else.”

　　“Kangaroo,” said Captain Cook, “That's a good name. It sounds as queer as he Cooks . ” Captain cook carefully noted this word in his word book.

　　The missionaries (傳教士) who later came to Australia were anxious to see a kangaroo but their questions were met with puzzled looks.

閱讀理解：

　　Suppose we built a robot(機(jī)器人)to explore the planet Mars．We provide the robot with seeing detectors(探測(cè)器)to keep it away from danger．It is powered entirely by the sun．Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times?No．The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any．So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning．

　　According to the evolutionary(進(jìn)化的)theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason．The theory does not deny(否認(rèn))that sleep provides some important restorative functions(恢復(fù)功能)．It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous．However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us．So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent．

　　The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures．Why do eats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little?Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do．But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep．Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value．Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival(生存)depends on their ability to run away from attackers．

(1)

The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ________．

[　　]

A．

the differences between robots and men

B．

the reason why men need to sleep

C．

about the need for robots to save power

D．

about the danger of men working at night

(2)

Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ________．

[　　]

A．

keep up a regular pattern of life

B．

prevent trouble that comes looking for him

C．

avoid danger and inefficient labour

D．

restore his bodily functions

(3)

According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we ________．

[　　]

A．

are worrying about our safety

B．

are overworked

C．

are in a tent

D．

are away from home

(4)

Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ________．

[　　]

A．

need more time for restoration

B．

are unlikely to be attackers

C．

axe more active than homes when they are awake

D．

spend less time eating to get enough energy

(5)

Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

[　　]

A．

Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking．

B．

The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory．

C．

Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots．

D．

The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats．

　　One day I bought a house．One day－what a day!–I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father．I thought then it was a milestone for me．One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him, too, another milestone．
