A 71 -year-old Frenchman—armed with a block of foie gras(鹤肝酱) and a bottle of Sautemes—has set off to sail the Atlantic in a barrel(木桶船).Jean-Jacques Savin barreled out of El Hierro in Spain’s Canary Islands on Wednesday and headed toward theCaribbean, some 3 000 nautical miles away, in a bright orange, barrel-shaped capsule that will use ocean currents alone to move him, the BBC reported. He hopes lo reach his destination in just three months, the reporter said.“The weather is great. I’ve got a swell of one meter (3 feet) and I’m moving at 2 - 3 kilometers an hour... I’ve got favorable winds forecast until Sunday,Savin told AFP shortly after he set off.His barrel is strong enough to survive attacks from killer whales and was built to withstand constant battering from the waves. It contains a bed,kitchen,storage areas and a window in the floor that Savin can use to watch fish. It also has a solar panel that generates energy for communications and GPS positioning, and Savin will be dropping markers along his trip to help oceanographers study currents.The former military paratrooper(伞兵), park ranger and pilot has had some access to social media and his most recent update said the barrel was "behaving well" and the trip was off to a smooth start.His budget for the journey, ,$ 68 000, was raised largely through crowd funding. Savin hopes to reach Barbados but would prefer a French island like Martinique to make paperwork easier and fcifor bringing the barrel back".As for the foie gras an d Sauternes, Savin planned to save it for New Year’s Eve.

He advised people to be careful of the wording of certain emails to tell if they are a scam, especially poor grammar or indistinct spelling in emails. He added that there is a four-word phrase you need to look out for to identify a scam email. If they start the email with “dear sir or madam",this often means it’s not from a legal company.He also provided a number of other general rules to spot scams.“Never give personal details if they call, text or email. The classic scam is cheats sending messages or emails asking for your details to break into your accounts, claiming to be from a bank, insurer, tax bureau, the police, or even me."Don't fall for false deals on any social media. I constantly hear of many cheating offers popping up in people’s feeds and messages,for example,Disneylandand airlines giving away free tickets online. The key here is to know the source. Is the person giving you the information trustworthy, and is the source trustworthy, too? Go to where you know it'slegal and check it. In other words, even if it looks legal, never just click without separately checking.“And of course as you may have heard me say before ‘ I DON’T DO ADS ’ 一my face has been blacked all over the Internet, over 1,000 ads on Facebook alone wrongly claiming I’m guaranteeing online trading, companies and more. All these ads are spurious— don't be fooled. And please pass on the message to anyone who you think may be fooled by these ads."1.What do we know about email scammers?A.Most of them work in legal companies.B.They are very polite to everyone.C.They are experts in information technology.D.They may pretend to be from government departments.2.What does Martin Lewis suggest people do about online offers?A.Turn down the offers immediately.B.Stop doing deals on any social media.C.Make sure where the offers come from.D.Accept the offers before checking them.3.Which of the following best explains “spurious” underlined in the last paragr aph?A.Nonofficial.B.False.C.Universal.D.Unnecessary.4.What’s Martin’s purpose of his words in the last paragraph?A.To defend himself against wrong comments.B.To warn people of wrong ads.C.To beg for forgiveness from the public.D.To trade online with Facebook.4.While we’re often pressed by time during the week and forced to sacrifice sleep in exchange for productivity, many long for the weekend so they may regain quality time with their bed. Although people regularly claim they’re going to “catch up on sleep” during this 48-hour period, there has been doubt as to whether or not doing so was even possible.Psychologist Torbjorn Akerstedt and his colleagues published findings in the Journal of Sleep Research that focus on the impact of sleeping in on days off—the weekend, for most—and how some additional snooze(打盹) time might make up for lost sleep on weekdays. The study,which tracked more than 43,000 people over a period of 13 years, found that participants younger than 65 who slept for fewer than five hours per night on weekdays faced a 52 percent higher death rate, while those who slept for fewer than the recommended seven hours per night on weekdays but slept for an extra hour or two on week ends lived as long as individuals who slept seven hours each night in the entire week.According to the study summary, among individuals more than 65 years old, no association between weekend sleep or weekday sleep time and death rate was observed. In conclusion, short, but not long, weekend sleep was associated with an increased death rate in subjects less than 65 years old. In the same age group, short sleep on both weekdays and week ends showed increased death rate. Possibly, long weekend sleep may compensate for short weekday sleep. However, while the connection seems accurate, Akerstedt cautioned that this “experimental conclusion” will require further exploration. His peers agreed with this opinion, as well.For instance, Michael Grandner, director of the Sleep and Health Research Program atthe Universityof Arizona's College of Medicine, warned that sleeping in on a weekend islike eating a salad after a series of hamburger dinners healthier, sure, but from one view the damage is done. Grandner also urged the overworked and underslept not to view sleep as time lost. Just as we require food and water, our bodies also require sleep to maintain overall health.Many people brush off sleep shortage by claiming they’ll sleep when they’re dead. But, if these findings are right, they might find themselves holding true to this promise much sooner than expected.1.What do many people do with sleep shortage according to paragraph 1?A.Sleep more on weekends.B.But down the working time.C.Call for more overtime pay.D.Improve the labor efficiency.2.Which of the following agrees with the research conclusion?A.Sleep is connected with death rate.B.Long sleep always benefits the health.C.Sleep time doesn’t affect the old people’s lifetime.D.Proper extra sleep on weekends is g?ood for people.3.What does Akerstedt think of his research result?A.It is accurate.B.It is cheerful.C.It is uncertain.D.It is useless.4.What can we infer from Michael Grandner's opinion?A.Sleeping in on a weekend is harmful.B.Salad should be eaten with hamburger.C.The hamburger dinner is a healthy diet.D.Sleep shortage can't be compensated completely.二、七选五5.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
