20．A 12-year-old girl who had a slight feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right．
　　Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of l62 on Mensa's Cattell III B paper，suggesting she has a higher IQ than well-known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking．
　　The comparison doesn't sit well with the British student，who's currently in Year 8 at Colchester County high school，a selective girl's grammar school in Essex，England．
"I don't think I can be compared to such great intellectuals such as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking．They've achieved so much．I don't think it's right．"Lydia told CNN．
　　Lydia sat the test in her summer holidays，after raising the idea with her parents who were in favor of it after some time．
　　It turns out the test wasn't that hard after all．
"I was really nervous before the test and I thought it was going to be really hard．But as I started the test，I thought it was a bit easier than l thought it was going to be，"she said．
　　Lydia's not quite sure what she wants to do when she goes to university，though she's leaning toward something"based around math，because it's one of my favorite subjects．"
"All I'm going to do is work as hard as I can，and see where that gets me，"she said．
　　To put Lydia's mark in perspective，the top adult score in the Cattell III B test，which primarily tests verbal reasoning，is 161．A top 2% score-which allows entry to Mensa，the club for those with high IQs-would be 148 or over．Lydia scored 162，placing her in the top l% of the population．
24．What can we know about Lydia from the passage？B
A．She is a middle school student．
B．She is the cleverest student．
C．She thinks she is cleverer than Einstein．
D．She had thought the test was very easy．
25．According to the passage，who supported her taking the test？D
A．Her teachers．B．Her classmates．
C．Her friends．D．Her parents．
26．If you want to enter Mensa，you have toD．
A．be as clever as Lydia in the test
B．be able to attend a famous university
C．have a great interest in math
D．get at least 148 in the IQ test
27．After Lydia graduates from high school，she willA．
A．major in math probably 　B．enter a club
C．never be nervous 　　　　D．a(chǎn)chieve a lot．

1．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 （民意調(diào)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 can be very attractive．And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we 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 attention 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．

32．The underlined part in Paragraph 1 meansB．
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
33．According to papragrph3，we can conclude thatD．
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 can be of great benefit to everyone
34．What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies thatC．
A．sleeping is an image problem            B．lazy people tend to sleep long  
C．people care little about sleeping       D．sleeping is only part of our life
35．What is the purpose of the passage？A
A．to raise the awareness of enough sleeping．
B．to provide a research result of sleeping．
C．to talk about people's sleeping problems．
D．to stress the function of sleeping at night．
