18、s us, specifically the fact that we havent evolved socially to the point where we can bear much separation.

26、roductivity.DIf you have trouble falling asleep, listen up. You might fall asleep 15 minutes earlier and wake up far less during the night if you put on a pair of socks at bedtime.To understand why, you first need to grasp the relationship between core body temperature and sleep. During daylight hou
27、rs, the human body has an average temperature of 37. But your core body temperature drops as much as 1.2 over one nights sleep. This gradual decrease is a key part of how we sleep. Put simply, the faster you can lower your core body temperature, the faster you will fall asleep.One way that your body
28、 controls its temperature is through blood vessels (血管)in the skin. If your body is too hot, your blood vessels widen, pushing the warmer blood nearer the skins surface, helping it to cool. If your body is too cold, the opposite happens. Your blood vessels narrow, restricting the flow of blood to th
29、e surface.The palms of your feet are one of your bodys most efficient heat exchangers, since they are hairless and less protected than other skin surfaces. Researchers have shown that warming the feet before going to sleep using a warm foot bath or by wearing socks promotes blood vessel widening. wh
30、ich in turn lowers the bodys core temperature faster than going to sleep with cold, bare feet.Scientists suspect that socked feet have a sleep-benefiting effect on the brain as well. The warm-sensitive neurons(神经元)in the brain become more active when theres a temperature difference between the bodys
31、 core and the feet. Researchers have found that these neurons become more active as we get sleepy and slow down as we wake up, so that warming up the feet before bedtime may give them an extra drive, making you feel sleepier.In a small study, researchers found that wearing a pair of special “sleepin
32、g socks not only sped up the coming of sleep, but increased overall sleep time by an average of 30 minutes and cut nighttime waking episodes in half. If youre worried about becoming too warm, look for socks made of natural fibers.32. In which section of a newspaper can we find this text?A.Advertisem
33、ent. B.Lifestyle. C.Opinion. D. Trend. 33. What change does warm feet bring to the body?A. Slowed brain reaction. B. Narrowed blood vessels. C. Reduced core body temperature. D. Decreased blood pressure. 34. How might the brains warm-sensitive neurons help sleep?A. They might help to warm up the fee
34、t.B. They might speed up temperature growthC. They might slow down the brains blood flow. D. They might bring on sleepiness when activated.35. What is the finding of the small study mentioned in the last paragraph?A. The warmth of socks depends on their material. B. People wearing socks fall asleep

Sock wearing helps people sleep longer and wake less第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Son, Here Is How You Save!My wife and I recently welcomed a child into the world.
