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.

12.Why do Americans try hard with watching their weight (體重),while the French,who eat rich food,continue to stay thin?Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight.Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full.However,Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr.Joseph Mercola,a health expert,the French see eating as an important part of their life style.They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table,while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities.Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full.So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped.In addition,he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week.The French,instead,tend to shop daily,walking to small shops and farmers'markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits,vegetables,and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States,Mireille Guiliano,author of French Women Don't Get Fat,decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food.Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences,evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits.Today the rate of obesity (肥胖率)-or  extreme overweight-among adults is only 6%.However,as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions,the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%-and is growing.

9.This text is mainly the relationship betweenB.
A.Americans and the French                     
B.life style and obesity
C.children and adults                                
D.fast food and overweight
10.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr.Joseph Mercola?D
A.They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B.They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C.They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
D.They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.
11.The text is mainly developedB.
A.by space                                     
B.by comparison
C.by process                                 
D.by classification (分類)
12.Where does this text probably come from?C
A.A TV interview (評(píng)論)               
B.A food advertisement (廣告)
C.A health report                              
D.A book review.

9.Phrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language.Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort,we might turn out children with bright futures.But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"?
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied.Many of the studies,conducted by Diana Baumrind,a famous psychologist at the University of California,Berkeley,have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way,who sets high expectations but gives her child independence.These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically,psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved,or controlling and more involved.Why is this parenting style so successful?
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children.Carol Dweck,a social psychologist at Stanford University,has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children.In a typical experiment,Dr.Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle.Most do so with little difficulty.But then Dr.Dweck tells some,but not all,of the kids how clever they are.As it turns out,the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles.They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.
As the experiment suggests,praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence.Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart".Dr.Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr.Baumrind,who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident.If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk,you reduce her confidence.Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting.It is easier when they are young.The potential mistakes carry greater risks,and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.

12.According to the passage,a"tiger mom"C.
A.helps her children realize their dreams
B.speaks her children's everyday language
C.pays close attention to her children's experiences
D.places reasonable expectations on her children
13.It is implied that controlling style of parenting mayD.
A.foster independence in children    
B.lead to children's academic success
C.face more challenges of children
D.cause more problems in children
14.The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests thatA.
A.overpraising makes children less motivated and confident
B.a(chǎn) good game plays a big role in training young minds
C.puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
D.bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
15.The last paragraph tells us thatB.
A.children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents
B.parents should allow their children to learn from mistakes
C.parents should not increase the risk of challenging
D.children should not be given much freedom.

16.Do you have bright ideas for inventions that change society or at least make life easier for somebody?Perhaps we all do sometimes,but we don't often make the idea a reality.Recently,in Britain,there was a competition (比賽) called Britain Designers for Tomorrow,which encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas.There were two groups in the competition:Group One was for school children under 16; Group Two was for school children over 16.And there were eleven prize winners altogether.
Neil Hunt,one of the prize winners,was called"Sunshine Superman"by one newspaper carrying his design.It's important when people study to record sunshine accurately (準(zhǔn)確地).We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is.Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight.Neil's is more accurate and this is very important for research into the way of using solar power.With his prize $100,Neil plans to carry on inventing.
You can do so much with cartoons.Look at Simon West's idea for animated(動(dòng)畫) road signs.He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them.This isn't a new idea.But it is new to use these pictures on road signs."We found that people were more likely to pay attention to moving signs,"said Simon.So now,you can really see rocks falling,trains moving,horses running or a car falling over edge of a cliff (懸崖).Quite a warnin g!
The ideas in the competition were so creative that we are surprised.Why British industry doesn't ask more school children for suggestions.Perhaps this will be the start of pupil power!

24.The aim of the competition in Britain was toC.
A.a(chǎn)sk scientists to carry out their bright ideas    
B.a(chǎn)sk children for suggestions
C.encourage young people to carry out their clever ideas
D.encourage children under 16 to carry on inventing
25.Why w as Neil Hunt called"Sunshine Superman"?D
A.Because he invented the way of using solar energy.
B.Because he suggested the way of using solar power.
C.Because he was one of the prize winners.
D.Because he was able to record sunshine more accurately.
26.From the passage we can infer that Neil will probably become aA.
A.designer     B.teacher     C.professor      D.recorder
27.In the author's opinion,B.
A.British industry shouldn't ask more school children for suggestions
B.it will be better to ask more school children for suggestions
C.the ideas in the competition are not so good    
D.more scientists should take part in the competition.
