58、western city in the 1980s, I quickly learned that sleep is the first expense I should cut in a given day. The men I looked up to at a young age regularly boasted about running on just a few hours of sleep. While this was rooted in a good-natured workethic, it led me to view needing sleep as a sign o

59、f weakness. I continue to see this perception in the workplace today, where it is considered abadgeof honor to stay at the office late working on a project.The problem is, one less hour of sleep is not equal to an extra hour of achievement. In many cases the opposite occurs. When you lose an hour of

60、 sleep, it decreases your well-being, productivity, health, and ability to think the following day. One of the most influential studies of human performance, conducted by professor K. Anders Ericsson, found that top performers slept 8 hours and 36 minutes per day. The average American, for compariso

61、n, gets just 6 hours and 51 minutes of sleep on weeknights.You are simply a different person when you operate on insufficient sleep. And it show if you do not get enough sleep, it can lead to acascadeof negative events. You achieve less at work, skip regular exercise, and eat poorly.This lack of sle

62、ep is also costly. According to a study from Harvard Medical School, lack of sleep costs the American economy $63 billion a year in lost productivity alone. The problem is not just people missing work on account of sleep, the larger issue is people who show up for work in a sleepless state. One scie

63、ntist, who has studied this topic extensively, claims a loss of four hours of sleep produces as much impairment as consuming a six-pack of beer. According to a survey from the National Sleep Foundation, roughly two-thirds of people studied do not get enough sleep on weeknights.However, if you are ab

64、le to get an additional hour of sleep tonight, it can make the difference between a miserable day and a good one. A small adjustment, even 15 or 30 minutes, could make or break your next day. The key is to aim for somewhere between seven and nine hours of quality sleep per night. While getting this

65、much sleep each night is easier said than done, there are a few small tricks to improve your odds of a good nights sleep.63. From the firtst paragraph, we can know , at a young age ,the writer _. A. looked down upon the people who worked hard. B. hated those who stayed at the office late working on

66、a project. C. admired those who often boasted about sleeping just a few hours D. viewed needing short sleep as a sign of weakness.64. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. less sleep increases your well-being, productivity, health, and ability to think the following day B. one

67、less hour of sleep has no effect on the ability to think the following day C. top performers slept less than the average American. D. one less hour of sleep will not have an extra hour of achievement.65. What may be talked about in the following part of the passage ?A. The advice on how to get a goo

68、d nights sleep. B. The harm of less sleep. C. The benefits of long sleep. D. The advice on how to get a long sleep .66.Whats the best title for the passage ?A.
