A

March 21 has been declared World Sleep Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the value of

... . ... .

. . . .

sleep. Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.

According to a poll (民意调查)by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans don’t get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some won’t do well without more. But the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six.

To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big yawn. On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: We’re likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives.

“When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your performance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.

A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didn’t function as well during the day.

But sleeping has an image problem. “We see napping or sleeping as lazy,” says Jennifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children. “We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. Sleep is in the back seat.” In fact, she adds, no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we can’t be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.

21．The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means _____. A.to wake up the sleepers B.to draw people’s attention C.to serve as a morning call D.to declare the special day 22．From Paragraph 3 we can infer that _______. A.being healthier is one of the advantages for us B.sleeping has nothing to do with one’s expectations C.spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time D.enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing things

23．What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies that _______. A.sleeping is an image problem B.people care little about sleeping C.lazy people tend to sleep long D.sleeping is only part of our life 24．What is the purpose of the passage?

A.to talk about people’s sleeping problems. B.to provide an investigation result of sleeping. C.to arouse the awareness of enough sleeping. D.to stress the function of sleeping at night.

B

Before you can communicate with others, you must learn to communicate with yourself. Discover your own thoughts and feelings. Put what you think and feel into words, say, write a composition or a

... . ... .

. . . .

letter. You can then send your ideas and feelings to others. Sometimes writing a song or a poem can help you do this.

Are you pleased that your father had offered to take you out for a holiday? Express your thankfulness to him by giving him a hug. Do you feel proud because a friend of yours won in a game? Share your pride by telling him how much you are proud of him. These are good feelings that you would like to share with others.

Learning to express bad feelings is important, too. For example, you and your friend have disagreement on a certain point. You feel very unhappy about it. It’s wise to tell your friend what you think about the matter and tell him that it’s important that you two should reach an agreement because you need the support from a friend like him. If you have too many unexpressed feelings, they can affect both your physical and mental health.

25．Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.Learn to communicate with yourself first.

B.Share with your friends both your happiness and sadness. C.We should avoid expressing bad feelings.

D.Don’t forget to say thanks to your parents when they’ve done something for you. 26．How can people communicate with each other? A.With feelings. B.Through symbols. C.Through thoughts. D.With hands.

27．How do you express your bad feelings to your friends from the material? A.To tell your friend what you think about the matter.

B.To tell your friend that it’s important that you two should reach an agreement. C.To tell your friend that you need the support from a friend like him. D.All the above.

C

While you are online there are plenty of perfectly legal sites where you can listen to music for free. This gives you the chance to listen to music before buying it, discover new music, and create great online playlists that you can share with others. The Sixty One

The Sixty One is devoted to showcasing obscure or unknown artists of all genres. There’s a range of musical styles from classical to rock and roll, folk to jazz, and everything in between. Don’t expect to find big name musicians on here; you’re more likely to find the musicians playing at local coffee shops than bands you hear on the radio. You can find fantastic music that you never would have heard of otherwise. Pow Wow

Pow Wows are the Native American people’s way of meeting together, to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships, and making new ones. This is a time method to renew Native American culture and preserve the rich heritage of American Indians. PowWows. has 2 online radio

... . ... .

. . . .

stations that play Native American Music 24/7 free! Here you can listen to your favorite artists and drum groups on your computer or mobile device and add your music to our station. Playlist

Playlist has an enormous library, so you can create playlists with almost any musician you can think of. They have both some lesser known artists and big names, so you have a really good selection. The worst part: Due to licensing laws, many of the songs on Playlist are now restricted to certain countries. So unless you live inside the US, it is likely that you might not be able to find all of your favorite songs. Pandora

Pandora is an intelligent Internet radio site. Basically, as you listen, you can give each song a thumbs up or thumbs down. You can create your own radio station that only plays music you like. The best part: It listens to your opinion, so that after a while it’s only playing music you like, but the list is always changing and expanding. My Space

Combine a major social networking site with thousands of artists around the world. Each musician has their own page, which normally has a playlist of several of their songs. But it has a huge range of musicians ranging from huge stars to the up-and-coming, and you can listen to the music and interact with the rest of the page.

28. If you enjoy listening to some new music, you can pay a visit to ______. A. Pow Wow B. Playlist C. The Sixty One D. Pandora 29. You can’t listen to some music on Playlist possibly because ______. A. it is only open to those who are in the United States B. you are not one of the members of the website C. you don’t have any playlist

D. the music is played only by the local people.

30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Best Free Music Websites. B. All Kinds of Music Online. C. Create Your Own Playlist. D. Listen to Music for free. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

What’s more, many people do not throw away their rubbish in a way friendly to the environment, but there is rubbish all over the streets. There are many things they can do to protect the environment.

Hello, everyone! Now I’d like to introduce the robot to you. It is designed for working people and can offer much convenience in daily life.

One of the advantages is that it can do housework. Does it sound unimaginable? It can cook dinner at setting-up time. Of course, the time can be changed as you like. Besides, the new robot can “speak”. While you are away, it can become good friends for old people. For example, if they feel lonely, he can have a chat, play chess and even do exercise with them actively. This advantage can relieve your worrying about leaving them alone.

The most surprising, I think, is that in case of emergency, the robot can immediately dial the ambulance call and the first help can be received without delay.

Such is the new robot, a super advanced, useful and greatly helpful machine.
