Two years ago this month, Doubleday published a historical thriller with an announced first printing of 85,000 and high hopes that a little-known writer named Dan Brown would catch on with the general public. "We surely expected to have a huge success, but I don’t think anyone dreamed it would become a historic publication," says Stephen Rubin, president and publisher of the Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group.
(41)____________.
If the "Harry Potter" books stand as the essential popular read for young people, then "The Da Vinci Code" has captured the crown for grown-ups. A word-of-mouth sensation from the moment it came out, Brown’s controversial mix of storytelling and speculation remains high on best-seller lists even as it begins its third year since publication.
(42) ____________.
Twenty-five million books, in 44 languages, are in print worldwide and no end is in sight. Booksellers expect "The Da Vinci Code" to remain a best-seller well into 2005. A planned film version by Oscar-winning director Ron Howard should bring in even more readers. And at a time when consumers are supposedly minding their budgets, sales for the $ 24.95 hardcover have been so good that Doubleday still has set no date for a paperback.
(43) ____________.
"It’s been our No. 1 fiction book for two years in a row, and I can’t remember another time that happened," said Bob Wietrak, vice president of merchandising for Barnes & Noble Inc. "People come into our store all the time and ask for it or ask for books that are like it."
(44) ____________.
Thanks to "The Da Vinci Code", about the only books that seem able to keep up are Brown’s previous novels. "Deception Point," first released in 2001, now has 3.7 million copies in print, according to Simon & Schuster, Brown’s previous publisher. "Angels and demons," published in 2000 and featuring "Da Vinci" protagonist Robert Langdon, has more than 8 million copies in print.
(45) ____________.
The unprecedented success of "The Da Vinci Code" has been helped by wide access, with the book on sale everywhere from Wal-Mart to airports to supermarkets, often proving more popular than the mass market paperbacks available at the same outlets.
"The Da Vinci Code" has also thrived during a time when both literary and commercial novels struggled, when a tight economy, competition from other media and election year tensions drove the public to nonfiction works or away from books altogether. Publishers and booksellers say Brown’s novel has worked by combining narrative excitement and provocative--and disputed-historical detail.

A.
Long long ago mankind began to use tools. Throughout the world, you can still find the tools which were used over two million years ago. People made such tools by hitting one stone (36) another. By this means, they got pieces from one of the stones. These pieces of stone were always (37) on one side. People utilized them to (38) skin and meat from some animals that were dead, (39) to make other tools from wood. Mankind needed (40) use tools since, unlike other meat-eating (41) , say lions, they did not have sharp teeth. Tools greatly helped people obtain food more (42) .
B.
Tools helped (43) human intelligence as well when human worked with them. The human brain became bigger gradually, and human beings began to invent a growing number of tools. The stone piece was one of the (44) tools that were used by people, and maybe it was (45) . Some scientists hold it was the key (46) human beings’ success.
C.
A new kind of tool has come into people’s view since 1960, that is, the silicon chip a small chip of silicon crystal. It is a bit (47) than a fingernail, but it is able to (48) several million "bits" of information or so. No doubt that it is an (49) brain.

【单选题】It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is（） A. unreasonable B. criminal C. harmful D. costly
A.
American society is not nap (午睡) friendly. 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 caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: "Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven."
B.
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.
C.
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 falling 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.
D.
About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have "a midafternoon quiet phase" 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.
E.
We superstars of Snooze don’t nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather,we "snack" on sleep, whenever, wherever 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.
