How much sleep do we need? People are all different. Some people need only three or four hours of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Americans sleep seven to eight hours a night.
Some people find it is hard to fall asleep. About one in three Americans have a problem with sleep. Many of these people can not fall asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia (失眠癥). Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people have special (特殊的) ideas to make themselves sleep. Benjamin Franklin had four beds. He moved from bed to bed to fall asleep. Mark Twain lay (躺) on his side across the end of his bed.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,判斷正 (A) 誤 (B)。
【小題1】Different people need different amounts of sleep (睡眠時間).
【小題2】Most Americans sleep more than 8 hours a night.
【小題3】If a person has insomnia, he can never fall asleep.
【小題4】About 1/3 of Americans have a problem with sleep.
【小題5】Mark Twain had four beds to make himself sleep.


【小題1】A
【小題2】B
【小題3】B
【小題4】A
【小題5】B

解析試題分析:我們需要多長的睡眠?人們不盡相同。一些人一晚只需要3-4小時,另外一些則需要10個小時,大部分美國人一晚睡7—8個小時。 還有一些人入睡困難。三份之一的美國人在睡眠方面有問題。這種病的名字叫失眠癥。歷史上許多名人患有失眠癥。他們有特殊的方法使自己入睡。Benjamin Franklin有四張床。他從一張轉(zhuǎn)移到另一張好讓自己入睡。Mark Twain則橫躺在床尾。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“How much sleep do we need? People are all different.(我們需要多少睡眠?人們不盡相同。)”可知,不同人所需的睡眠時間不同。故A。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“Most Americans sleep seven to eight hours a night.(大部分美國人睡7—8個小時)”可知,大部分美國人睡7—8個小時,并非8個小時以上。故B。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“Some of these people have special (特殊的) ideas to make themselves sleep.( 這些人有特殊的方法使自己入睡) ”可知,患有失眠癥的人們是可以入睡的,只是需要特殊的方式。故B。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“About one in three Americans have a problem with sleep.( 三份之一的美國人在睡眠方面有問題大約)”可知,有三份之一的美國人在睡眠方面有問題。故A。
【小題5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題 。 由“Benjamin Franklin had four beds. He moved from bed to bed to fall asleep.( Benjamin Franklin有四張床。他從一張轉(zhuǎn)移到另一張好讓自己入睡。)”可知,并非Mark Twain,而是Benjamin Franklin 有四張床。故B。

It was Mother’s Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn’t go back home. When he walked by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. “I’ll send Mum some roses (玫瑰).”
While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam?” he asked. The shop assistant told him that roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen (一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨). She told him they were a lot cheaper than roses.
“No, I have to have red roses,” he said, “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses, as the rose is her favorite.”
After hearing this, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the shop assistant said, “Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you two.” Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air. He thanked John, and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty-five dollars John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the shop assistant to send them to his mother.
As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery (墓地). Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses, “Mum, oh, Mum, why didn’t I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”

Stay as safe as possible during an earthquake.  Be aware that some earthquakes are actually foreshocks (前震) and a larger earthquake might occur.  Reduce your movements to a few steps to a nearby safe place.
If you are indoors,  do “duck,cover and hold”.  Duck or drop down to the floor, under something strong,  such as a table or a desk,cover your head and face with your arms and hands and hold on to that table or desk so that it does not move away from you as the ground shakes.  Do this until the shaking stops and it is safe to move.  Stay inside to avoid being injured by falling glass or building parts.  If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch(捲縮)in an inside comer of the building.
Stay clear of windows,fireplaces, and heavy furniture that may fall over.  Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.  Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different  location inside the building or try to leave.
If you are outside, get into the open and stay there.  Move away from trees,buildings, signs and power lines.  Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings,  at exits  and alongside exterior walls. Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury.  Most earthquake-related casualties (傷亡) result from collapsing walls,  flying glasses, and falling objects.
If you are driving, you may not realize what is going on at first because the car may feel like it is going to blow up.  Stop the car in as clear and open an area as possible and stay in it until the shaking stops.  If it is a really bad quake, turn on the radio to find an emergency channel to get information.  Follow the directions of people directing traffic.
If you are in a mountainous area,  watch out for falling rock and other debris that could be loosened by the earthquake.
If you are at the beach,  move quickly to higher ground or several hundred yards inland.
【小題1】Which of the following pictures means “duck,cover and hold”?

【小題2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A.Ground movement during an earthquake is the main reason of death.
B.You should keep your windows, fireplaces and heavy furniture clear.
C.Stop your car in the clear area and get out of it if an earthquake happens.
D.Run away from the beach as quickly as possible if an earthquake happens.
【小題3】The passage is mainly about________ during the earthquake.
A.ways of keeping you safe
B.the importance of keeping safe
C.ways of finding safe places
D.researches on how to keep safe

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
