问题     Nancy Jeschke’s sleeping difficulties began on vacation a few summers ago. She blamed the noisy motel room, but her sleeping did not improve at home. Instead of her usual six to seven hours a night, the 37-year-old teacher slept just three or four. "I’d toss and turn for hours, then get up and pace," she says.
    Nancy tried going to bed earlier, but the slightest noise, even her husband’s breathing, disturbed her. She drank a glass of wine at bed-time and fell asleep immediately, but was awake two hours later. Her doctor prescribed a sleeping pill for two weeks. When she stopped taking the pills, though, she slept worse than ever.
    Most of us have the occasional short period of troubled sleep and then return to normal a few nights later. However, for one in six people insomnia is a continual problem.
    Now the Johns Hopkins’ Sleep Disorders Center in Baltimore has developed a nine-step treatment to help insomniacs cure themselves. It is based on the idea that by deliberately reducing time in bed and by modifying your waking activities you will be able to sleep more soundly.
    Psychologist Richard Alien, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center, considers insomnia a 24-hour disorder. Thus, his treatment, which draws on research done by Arthur Spielman of the Sleep Disorders Center of the City College of New York, includes advice on daytime as well as bedtime behavior. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项 A、people can improve their sleeping if they sleep more hours than usual
B、in order to sleep more soundly at night, people can take a nap at noon
C、the nine-step treatment for insomniacs was developed by Arthur Spielman
D、approximately 15 percent of the people are suffering insomnia
答案 D
解析 本题是一道暗示引申类题目。问我们可以从文章中推断出什么。针对所给的四个选项，利用查阅式阅读法，结合原文相关内容，我们不难找出本题的正确答案D“大约有15％的人患有失眠症”。与此答案相关的信息就在第三段中。这段指出，我们大多数人都只是偶尔在短时期内睡眠不良，然而，过几夜便恢复正常。不过在每六个人中便有一人患有持续性失眠症。
