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.
What does the paragraph following the passage most likely discuss?
选项 A、Richard Alien’s ideas about daytime and bedtime behavior.
B、Researches done by Arthur Spielman.
C、Arthur Spielman’s advice on daytime and bedtime behavior.
D、Researches done by Richard Alien.
答案A
解析 本题是一道涉及文章上下文内容的问题。问本文的下文作者最可能谈论什么。根据文章最后一段的内容，心理学家理查德·艾伦是约翰·霍普金斯失眠治疗中心的副主任，他认为失眠症属于24小时神经失调症。因此，他的疗法借鉴了纽约城市学院失眠治疗中心亚瑟·斯毕尔曼的研究成果，包括白天的活动建议和睡眠时的注意事项。由此我们可以推知，文章下文将介绍理查德·艾伦的关于白天和睡眠时的行为的观点。因此，本题的正确答案应是A。
