10.Students in our school have one thing in common-an interest in sports.According to their different aims in doing sports,they fall into three groups.
    Many students go to the playground when they feel tired after a few hours of study.These students put much more stress on their study efficiency(效率)than the fun of sports.They just want to go back to their classrooms from the playground with a clearer and quicker mind.So they don't actually care whether they can enjoy themselves on the playground.Most of them choose long-distance running,the kind of exercise which few real sportsmen like.Sothis group of students can be well regarded as study-oriented participants(參加者).Students that make up the second group are real sports lovers.Sometimes they even put a side their studies for a match.They participate in the sport that interests them most,not caring whether it is good for their health.They may be called fun-oriented sports participants.Thethird group want beauty from sports.Boys want to become strong;girls want to be slim and graceful.Those who consider sports the only way of losing weight also belong to this group.They are very careful in choosing the kind of exercise they do,and are afraid that certain sports may influence their body shapes.The proper name for this group may be beauty-oriented sports participants.
     No matter which group we belong to,we all benefit(受益)from sports.If you look around the school yard,you will find that bookworms have disappeared,and instead,there are healthy,strong,clever and modernized students everywhere.

17.Sleep is very important.A person who does not sleep dies faster than a person who does not eat.We spend about a third(1/3)of our lives in sleep.That's about 121 days a year!
How much sleep do we need?We are all different.A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day.Children 6 to 12 years old need an average(平均) of 10 to 12 hours of sleep.Teenagers need 9 to 10 hours of sleep.An adult needs an average of 7 to 8hours a night.There are some people who need only 3 hours of sleep.Others need 10 hours of sleep.After the age of 50,the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night.We need less sleep as we get older.
About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep.Many of these people can not fall asleep.The name of this problem is insomnia.Some people say,"I didn't sleep all night."But that's not really true.They may sleep lightly and wake up several times.In the morning,they only remember the times they were awake(醒著),so they think they were awake all night.
This is not a new problem.Many famous people in history had insomnia.Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep.Benjamin Franklin had four beds.He moved from one to the other to fall asleep.Mark Twain had a different way.He lay on his side across the end of the bed!

77.If you are thirteen years old,you need at leastC hours of sleep.
A.16          
B.12           
C.9            
D.7
78.What does"insomnia"mean in this passageA?
A.No sleep.
B.Bad sleep.
C.Slow sleep.
D.Sleep with many dreams.
79.Which of the following is true according to the passageB?
A.We will die soon if we don't sleep well.
B.The older we get,the less sleep we need.
C.We can tell a person's age from his sleep time.
D.Famous people move from one bed to the other to fall asleep.
80.Which would be the best title for this passageB?

7.Safety Activities for Middle School Kids
School is not the safe place as it used to be.How to keep school safer?How to help students stay away from danger?There are many activities that teachers can do to teach safety in an easy way.Here are some stories from the students who have had the safety class in N0.1 Middle School.
  Mike Smith:About Sports Safety
Once,our head teacher made up a story about sports safety.All we needed to do was to point out safe and unsafe sports behaviors in the story.From this lesson,we knew we should always do warm-up(熱身)activities before playing sports and drink some water after that.
 Amy Youn9:About Classroom Safer7
Yes,making up stories is a good way to learn and enjoy ourselves.We were once asked to make up a story about a boy called Little Naughty.He always did something naughty(淘氣的)in the classroom and got himself into trouble.In this way,we learned to behave(行為)well and get on well with each other.
 Frank Green:About Fire Safety
In our school,we have a fire emergency response practice(火警應(yīng)急演習(xí))in September every year.So we know where to go if there is a fire in school.We learn to use the fire extinguisher(滅火器),too.But I don't think we should be allowed to put out the fire alone,it's too dangerous for young students like us.
Information Card
 The school that the students are from (81)No.1 Middle School

14.Some Ways To Create More Time In Your Day
Get up earlier
Get up fifteen minutes earlier.Getting up just a bit earlier can give you some breathing (呼吸) space.Perhaps it'll give you time to sit down and enjoy your breakfast.Maybe you can use that fifteen minutes a day to read through a book or part of magazines.
Create a plan
At the start of your workday,make a plan.Write down three important tasks you want to achieve that day quickly.Put a big star next to the most important.Now,before you get into the busy work,start on the important task and see it through to the end.
Surprisingly few people take the time to plan their workday,and end up turning around their wheels on a number of unimportant tasks without really achieving anything big.
Finish Work on Time
Finally,one of the best ways to make more time in your life is to finish your work on time! If you work for an employer (雇主),try to leave the office on time-at least two days each week.If you work for yourself,you need to be eve more self-disciplined (自我約束的)!
What could you do with an extra ten hours every week?How could you create more time in your day?

71.What can getting up just a bit earlier give you?It can give us some breathing space.
72.When should you make a plan?At the start of my workday.
73.What should you do the most important task?I should put a big star next to it
74.What do you need to do if you work for yourself?I need to be even more self-disciplined.
75.What's the Chinese for the underlined sentence in the passage?生活中,贏得更多時間的最好方法之一就是按時完成工作..
