问题     Naptime is not just for kindergarteners. A whole body of research shows that a midday snooze can increase productivity and alertness in the workplace. Naps can often be the perfect weapons to combat mid-afternoon sluggishness, which tends to hit between 2 and 5 p. m.
    A 2007 Japanese study found that you can alleviate sleepiness by combining a short snooze with coffee. Sound counterintuitive? Here’s how it works: caffeine takes about 20 minutes to a half-hour to kick in.just enough time for you to nap.That way.if you’ve had a coffee-primed nap.the benefits are twofold: you’ve rested and you’re ready to go when you wake. The British Transportation Department even provides drivers with the following recommendation to combat driver fatigue: "Stop.drink two cups of coffee or a highly caffeinated drink.and then take a short nap."
    2 or 3 p. m. is the ideal nap hour—late enough to fit into your natural siesta(午睡)zone but early enough that it will not interfere with your night sleep. Also take your afternoon schedule into consideration when making nap plans. If you can, take your mid-afternoon snooze just prior to a big meeting. Dozing right before the meeting will make sure you’re not drifting off during the meeting.
    A good nap length is somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes. This will give you the restorative benefits of sleep without the lethargy(昏睡)or grogginess(头昏眼花)— what is commonly called "sleep drunkenness".
    Location may be the toughest nap problem. If your company has a health or nurse’s room, that could make a good place for .snoozing. If that’s not an option，you may have to turn your cubicle(小隔间)into a temporary nap room- but that means you’ll probably have to be all right with curling up under your desk. Heading to your parked car is another option but of course you should make sure a window is open and the engine is not running.
    Chances are.if you’re tired enough to take a nap.you will not magically wake up on your own accord. So set an alarm.both to avoid the groggincss of a long nap and to make sure you don’t sleep through anything important. [br] According to the passage, when is one likely to feel sluggish?
选项 A、Immediately after lunch.
B、Early in the evening.
C、From 2 to 3 p. m.
D、Between 2 and 5 p. m.
答案 D
解析 根据题干关键词feel sluggish可以定位到文章第一段最后一句：Naps can often be the perfect weaponsto combat mid-afternoon sluggishness，which tends to hit between 2 and 5 p．m．据此可知下午疲乏通常出现在2点到5点之间，也就是说人们往往在下午2点到5点之间感到sluggish“无精打采”。故D)为正确答案。
