總體分析本文主要介紹了對失眠的研究工作。文章第一段指出慢性失眠是一個重要的公共健康問題，但其致病原因仍是個迷。第二段介紹了(美)全國衛(wèi)生研究所一個專家小組的結(jié)論，該小組呼吁對失眠進(jìn)行廣泛的研究。第三段討論了失眠與其他因素，如疾病、年齡、藥物等的關(guān)系。第四段介紹了(美)全國衛(wèi)生研究所對失眠正在進(jìn)行的研究情況。
全文翻譯：慢性失眠是一個主要的公共健康問題。而且，太多人正使用未經(jīng)驗證的治療方法，盡管有些方法確實是有效的。上百萬的美國人夜里睡不著覺，躺著數(shù)羔羊、喝杯烈酒或吞個藥片，希望這會使他們產(chǎn)生困意。然而，專家們一致認(rèn)為，自作主張亂吃藥并不是解決失眠的好方法，導(dǎo)致慢性失眠的原因目前還是一個謎。
幾乎有1/3的成年人存在睡眠障礙，而且大約10%的人有白天功能減退的癥狀，這些癥狀表明他們確實患上了失眠癥。但是，一個由(美)全國衛(wèi)生研究所召集的專家小組在周三得出這樣的結(jié)論：盡管(社會上關(guān)于長期失眠的)抱怨很多，但科學(xué)家們對長期失眠的原因，它對健康的影響以及如何有效地治療都知之甚少。該專家小組呼吁對失眠癥進(jìn)行廣泛研究，指出如果科學(xué)家們了解了失眠的潛在原因，他們可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)更好的治療方法。
很多，但不是所有的失眠癥被認(rèn)為伴隨著其他健康問題產(chǎn)生，從關(guān)節(jié)炎、抑郁到心血管疾病。而問題通常是不知道是先產(chǎn)生失眠，還是失眠是其他疾病的結(jié)果，以及失眠如何又使其他問題變得更加復(fù)雜。撇開其他疾病不說，失眠的可能性隨著年齡的增加而增加，而且在婦女中更加普遍，尤其是50歲以后。吸煙、咖啡因及眾多的處方藥也影響睡眠。
(美)全國衛(wèi)生研究所今年要花大約2000億美元用于睡眠的相關(guān)研究，其中一些以特定的(睡眠)紊亂為目標(biāo)，另外一些觀察控制睡眠神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的潛在科學(xué)規(guī)律。該機(jī)構(gòu)正等待專家小組的評論以決定對失眠進(jìn)行的下一步研究工作。

總體分析本文介紹了東日本鐵路公司引人關(guān)注的新計劃。文章第一段介紹說東日本鐵路公司創(chuàng)造性地利用車站內(nèi)部及周圍房地產(chǎn)的計劃正引起越來越多人的關(guān)注。第二段具體介紹了這一計劃的內(nèi)容及好處，即適應(yīng)信息時代的要求，把車站作為網(wǎng)上購物的物品收取地，這樣既為消費者提供了方便，又提高了遞送物品的安全性。第三段介紹了該公司引入智能卡代替目前使用的各種磁卡作車票的計劃及其優(yōu)點。
全文翻譯通過國家鐵路系統(tǒng)的私有化創(chuàng)建起來的六大公司之一的東日本鐵路有限公司，正吸引著越來越多人的目光。在一個發(fā)展前景不振的行業(yè)，它創(chuàng)造性地利用車站內(nèi)部及周圍的房地產(chǎn)的計劃正引起人們的關(guān)注。
東日本鐵路在11月份公布的“車站復(fù)興”計劃中說：它將不僅把它的商業(yè)空地用于開商店和餐館，而且還要把這些商業(yè)空地用于更加適應(yīng)信息時代的功能上去。它打算把車站作為網(wǎng)上所購物品如書籍、花卉和日用百貨等的收取地。該公司估算，在一個都市人嚴(yán)重依賴列車作為上下班交通工具的國度里，每天大約有1600萬人因各種原因來到它的車站。因此，在車站收取物品使消費者節(jié)省了路途而且也不像往家里遞送那樣容易丟失。東日本鐵路已經(jīng)開始把車站的便利店用于這一目的，但它打算為網(wǎng)上貨物的遞送創(chuàng)立專門的空間。
該公司還打算引入智能卡(在日本稱為IC卡，因為它們利用集成電路儲存信息)取代目前使用的磁卡作為車票和定期券，把各種不同的票券合為一體。這將為公司節(jié)省資金，因為IC卡的讀卡機(jī)比磁系統(tǒng)要便宜的多。IC卡使用的增加還將會減少售票所占用的空間。

A recent poll indicated that half the teenagers in the United States believe that communication between them and their parents is__1__and further that one of the prime causes of this gap is __2__listening behavior. As a(an)__3__ in point，one parent believed that her daughter had a severe__4__problem. She was so __5__that she took her to an audiologist to have her ear tested. The audiologist carefully tested both ears and reported back to the parent：“There‘s nothing wrong with her hearing. She’s just __6__you out.”
A leading cause of the __7__divorce rate(more than half of all marriages end in divorce)is the failure of husbands and wives to __8__effectively. They don‘t listen to each other. Neither person__9__to the actual message sent by the other. In __10__fashion，political scientists report that a growing number of people believe that their elected and __11__officials are out of__12__with the constituents they are supposedly __13__. Why?Because they don’t believe that they listen to them. In fact，it seems that sometimes our politicians don‘t even listen to themselves. The following is a true story：At a national__14__conference held in Albuquerque some years ago，then Senator Joseph Montoya was__15__a copy of a press release by a press aide shortly before he got up before the audience to__16__ a speech. When he rose to speak，__17__the horror of the press aide and the__18__of his audience，Montoya began reading the press release，not his speech. He began，“For immediate release. Senator Joseph M. Montoya，Democrat of New Mexico，last night told the National……”Montoya read the entire six-page release，__19__ with the statement that he“was repeatedly __20__by applause.”

總體分析本文主要討論了聽行為對人際交流的影響。文章第一段從父母和子女之間的交流出發(fā)，說明兒女不聽父母的話造成了他們之間的隔閡。第二段從婚姻的角度出發(fā)，說明夫妻雙方的互不理睬造成交流不暢，從而使離婚率上升。第三段從政治的角度出發(fā)，說明政府官員不聆聽選民甚至不在意自己所說的話，造成官民隔閡。例證法是本文采用的主要的論證方法。
全文翻譯：最近的一項民意測驗顯示：美國一半的青少年認(rèn)為他們與父母的交流不好，而且造成這種隔閡的一個首要原因是有不理想的傾聽行為。一個典型的例子是，一位母親認(rèn)為她女兒有嚴(yán)重的聽力問題。她對此確信無疑，于是就帶著女兒去聽覺病矯治專家那兒檢查她的耳朵。專家仔細(xì)檢查了兩只耳朵，然后告訴這位母親說：“她的聽力沒問題，只是不理睬你而已。”
離婚率上升(一半以上的婚姻以離婚告終)的一個首要原因是夫妻間不能有效地交流。他們彼此充耳不聞。兩人對對方發(fā)出的確切信息都毫無反應(yīng)。
同樣地，據(jù)政治科學(xué)家報道，越來越多的人相信他們選舉指派的官員與其本應(yīng)代表的選民失去了聯(lián)系。為什么呢?因為這些人認(rèn)為他們不需要傾聽選民的意見。實際上，有時我們的政治家們似乎連自己的聲音都不聽。下面是一個真實的例子：在幾年前亞柏克爾克舉行的全國立法會議上，一位新聞助理在當(dāng)時的參議員約瑟夫。蒙圖亞演講前交給了他一份新聞稿。令該新聞助理大吃一驚而使聽眾感到有趣的是，當(dāng)蒙圖亞起來講話時，他讀的不是演講稿而是那份新聞稿。蒙圖亞先生以“即時新聞稿。新墨西哥州的民主黨參議員約瑟夫。蒙圖亞昨晚在全國……上說……”開始，讀完了全部的六頁新聞稿，并以他“不時被掌聲打斷”結(jié)尾。
