Information is received into our brain by attention, and its quality determines (決定) how well it will be processed, saved and used afterwards.
All information we receive is chosen by our attention. Factors (因素) affecting (影響) our attention are personal interest, experience, ability, feelings, knowledge, environment, timing, and so on. The same information may attract different forms and levels of attention from different people. Some people can get and save the information easily; some may have great difficulty; while others may just turn a blind eye to it. To the same information, one may even pay different levels of attention at different times. But if the facts work together, the quality of attention may be better. Therefore, it is not surprising to see that somebody with average intelligence (智力) can have excellent performances in some fields.
The good news is that a person's attention can be shaped, trained and made stronger by effective exercise. With this in mind, we should keep improving the quality of our attention.

Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. However, many Chinese do not sleep well, and many do not pay enough attention to sleep.
The Chinese Medical Doctor Association released the 2013 China Sleep Quality Index (指數(shù)) on March 19 to mark World Sleep Day – March 21.
According to the index, nearly a quarter of Chinese people don’t sleep well. Half said that they feel tired after getting up and 15 percent people have trouble falling asleep.
Ye Jingying, a sleep expert at Beijing Tongren Hospital, says: “If people often wake up during the night, or always feel weak and tired in the day, they should pay attention to their sleep pattern (模式).”
Many people play with their cell phones or iPads before sleeping. The report said that this is one of the main reasons for bad sleep. Other reasons include stress and bad moods.
How to sleep well? Above all, get enough sleep. Seven to nine hours of sleep every night is perfect for an adult, and eight to nine hours is best for a teenager.
Forming good sleep habits is important. The report suggested that people need to keep away from digital devices (數(shù)碼產(chǎn)品) for at least an hour before sleep. The lights keep their brains excited for a long while. Other suggestions include: try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays, and do the same relaxing things before bed each night, like listening to soft music.
小題1:From Paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT true?
A．The longer you sleep, the better.
B．Many Chinese people don’t sleep well.
C．Many Chinese people don’t care about sleep.
D．Sleep is very important for our body and brain.
小題2:Which of the following means that you sleep well?
A．You feel tired after getting up.
B．You can fall asleep within 20 minutes.
C．You wake up several times during the night.
D．You often do something boring until you feel sleepy.
小題3:From the article, which of the following may NOT cause sleeping problems?
A．Reading a book late at night.
B．Having sad or angry feelings.
C．Playing with digital devices before sleeping.
D．Being under strong stress about their life or work.
小題4:Which of the following helps teenagers sleep well?
A．They should do different things before sleeping.
B．They should sleep for more than nine hours a day.
C．They should not use any digital devices during the daytime.
D．They’d better go to sleep and get up at the same time every day.

Nobody is happy all the time, but some people are really happier than others. Here are some tips for you to be happy.
Make enough money to meet your basic needs: food, shelter, and clothing. In the US, that magic number is $40,000 a year. Any money you make beyond that will not necessarily make you happier. Once you make enough money to support your basic needs, your happiness is not affected by how much money you make.
______________________________ Or move to where other members are－so you can see them more. Now, people follow jobs around the country and sometimes around the world. As a result, our relationships with our friends and family have a far greater impact (影響) on our happiness than our jobs do. So next time you think about moving, consider a place where most of your friends and families live.
Find happiness in the job you have now. Many people expect (期待) the right job to change their level of happiness. But happiness research makes it clear that changing jobs can’t bring you happiness. If you want, you will make the best of any job. If you have good relationships with people, you won’t depend on (依賴) your job to give your life a greater sense of meaning. You will find it in your interactions with the people you care about.
If you are unhappy for a long time, you should ask an expert (專家) or a doctor for help. I hope you will be happy all the time.
小題1:The writer wrote this passage mainly to _____________.
A．make friends
B．give suggestions
C．put on an advertisement
D．complain about your actions
小題2:The underlined word “interactions” means ____________.
A．a(chǎn)rrangementB．choiceC．communicationD．a(chǎn)greement
小題3:What is the title for the third paragraph?
A．Ask family members for help.
B．Borrow money from family members.
C．How to make family members be happy.
D．Stay close to friends and family.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷下列句子是否正確，對(duì)的涂（A），錯(cuò)的涂（B）。
Plants are very important living things. Life could not go if there were no plants. This is because plants can produce food from the air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot produce food from the air, water and sunlight as plants do. Animals get their food by eating plants or other animals which eat plants. So animals and man need plants in order to live.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering ones.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed. Some have two, three or four. Some have many. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana.
Most non-flowering plants don’t grow from seeds. They grow from spores (孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as the seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.  
小題1:Plants are very important to life.
小題2:Both animals and plants can produce food from the air, water and sunlight.
小題3:Banana is a fruit that does not have seeds.
小題4:All the flowering plants have many seeds.
小題5:Spores can grow into new plants wherever they fall.
