<p>Passage1:
I love to nap. When after-lunch grogginess hits and my eyelids start to droop, nothing makes me happier than finding a comfortable spot and drifting off to sleep. But to my family my napping is the sign of a basic character flaw.
youre napping again? Youre so lazy! Theyre not the only ones who feel this way. to be an enthusiastic napper in twenty-first-century North America is to be out of step with your time and place. A nap is seen as a sign of weakness, either physical or moral. Healthy, productive adults do not nap.</p>
<p>Passage2
Sleep researchers have r the midday meal. But shown that the human body is programmed to become sleepy in the early afternoon. In some cultures people doze after the midday meal. But in many industrialized nations, the usual response is to try to jump-start the system with caffeine, a tactic that sleep experts say creates only the illusion of efficiency and alertness
Napping should not be frowned upon, writes one researcher. It should have the status of daily exercise.
And if fact restorative naps may be making a comeback. Recognizing that many employees are chronically sleep deprived, some companies have set up nap rooms. If labor unions are interested in worker welfare, they should make such accommodations a standard item in contract negotiations. </p>

<p>Habituated by my own geological training and knowledge, I was not quite prepared upon opening this New Atlas of the Universe to encounter the faces of so many worlds, dangling in the black of space, their features available to the eye for instant interpretation. Within this book, each planet and moon had its accompanying map, composed of a computer-generated image that flattened its subject out on a single rectangular strip-the so-called Mercator projection. This, too, seemed interesting: a technique literally 400years old invented at the height of the early colonial era, the Age of Exploration, now being employed to make visible the most advance geographies in a new age of discovery. Indeed, what might Mercator have thought were it suggested to him that his scheme would one day be used to plot landscapes so far from terrestrial in aspect as to reflect back, in their magnificent alienness, the very idea of an old and exhausted Earth?</p>
<ol>
<li>Which best describe the function of the question in lines (Indeed
Earth)?
A) It challenges an age-old assumption
B) It engages in historical speculation
C) It introduces a novel hypothesis
D) It provokes a scientific controversy

</ol>
<p>The answer is B), and I Choose D)! Explain plzz</p>
