Do you sleep well? Some people get off to sleep as soon as the head hits the pillow, but many others are not so lucky．In fact，the lack of quality sleep has become a public health issue around the world．According to the World Association of Sleep Medicine，45 percent of the world’s population suffer from sleep problems．One in eight people don’t sleep well and are easily woken．7．6 percent sleep less than 3 hours each night．Some even can not fall asleep for several days in a row．

Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.

In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.

In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers(摩天大樓) and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.

But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.

1.Why do people move to live in cities or towns?

A．Because they can live more comfortably there.

B．Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.

C．Because they mainly want to find work there.

D．Because they are sure of having a better life there.

2.The underlined phrase “a residential area” means an area________.

A．where people can buy things

B．which is suitable for living in

A．Big companies usually have their main offices in the business district.

C．A business district usually lies in the city center downtown.

D．Nearly every major city has its own business district.

4.In the United States, many people work in the center of a big city________.

A．a(chǎn)nd live there

B．but live in the suburbs of the city

C．a(chǎn)nd live in another city

D．but live in rural areas

The passages below discuss the retirement age．

Passage 1：

In the United States，the financial crisis has left the country with 11 million fewer jobs than Americans need now．No matter how tough the policy ,we are not going to find 11 million new jobs soon．So common sense suggests we should make some decisions about who should come first：older people，who have already worked three or four decades at hard jobs? Or younger people，many just out of school，with fresh skills and ambitions?

The answer is obvious．Older people who would like to retire and would do so if they could afford it should get some help．The right step is to reduce，not increase，the retirement age．As a rough cut，why not make it a law to set a three—year window during which the age for receiving full Social Security benefits would drop to 62——providing a voluntary ,one—time，grab-it-now bonus for leaving work? Let them go home! With a secure pension(退休金)and medical care，they will be happier．Young people who need work will be happier．And there will also be more jobs．With pension security, older people will consume services until the end of their lives．They will become．each and every one，an employer．

Passage 2：

Too many people see longer working lives as a worry rather than an opportunity—and not just because they are going to be chained to their desks．Some worry that there will not be enough jobs to go around．This misunderstanding，known to economists as the“l(fā)ump of labour fallacy(勞動(dòng)總量固定的謬論)”，was once used to argue that women should stay at home and leave all the jobs for breadwinning males．Now lump-of-labourites say that keeping the old at work would deprive(剝奪)the young of employment．The idea that society can become

better-off by paying more of its citizens to be idle(無(wú)所事事的)is clearly ridiculous．On that reasoning，if the retirement age came down to 25 we would all be as rich as Bill Gates．

1.In Passage 1，one reason for suggesting earlier retirement in the US is the_______

A．tough policy B．stable pension

C．high unemployment D．free medical care

2.In Passage I，the writer suggests encouraging older people to retire earlier by____________.

A．cutting their pension if they remain at work

B．giving them an extra sum o f money on retiring

C．convincing them that young people need work

D．offering them a bonus each year for three years

3.Lump-of-laborites believe that____________．

A．young citizens should be better paid

B．the old should leave jobs for the young

C．males should earn bread for the family

D．earlier retirement will lead to a poorer society

4.What is the author’s attitude towards earlier retirement in Passage 2?

A．Negative． B．Positive．

C．Unconcerned． D．Tolerant．

When Barbra ­Streisand discovered in 2003 that a photograph of her California beach house was among 12,000 photos on the Internet as part of a ­collection by photographer Kenneth Adelman, she did what any famous person would do: hit him with a $50 million lawsuit. But in trying to hold back the images, she caused a different outcome. Her legal actions led to almost half a million people visiting the website, viewing and copying the photos within a month.

Ever since then, the effect of letting public know something you are trying to keep secret has been called the “Streisand effect”. The problem for anyone trying to suppress information is that the Internet is the world’s biggest and most efficient copying machine. Put a ­document on to a connected machine and it will spread. So when you want to be famous, you can’t, but if you find ­yourself in the spotlight and want to erase ­yourself, you cannot.

There is no shortage of examples of the Streisand effect. Nine-year-old Martha Payne created a simple blog, posting the meals her school served. She took a photo of what was barely a filling meal by anyone’s standards. With the photo, she filled a comment, “Now Dad understands why I am hungry when I get home.” The thing did not go too far, until the local authority banned little Martha from doing that again. Martha posted a supposedly final post called “Goodbye”, explaining everything. Once the media found this out, things went from bad to worse for the authority. Now the blog has more than 9.5 million page views. Martha has even expanded her blog by including pictures of school meals taken by other kids from all over the world, like Germany and Japan.

We can find similar examples throughout history, to be frank. Man has experienced the Streisand effect ever since the birth of mass communication. Why does it exist? Every time you are told not to see what’s in the secret shiny box wrapped in gift paper, you’re going to do everything in your power to do exactly that! Just realizing that knowing something about someone is harmful to their status, we will want to know that piece of information. This is exactly the human nature. This is what lawyers and authorities should be familiar with. Unfortunately, a few of them fail to grasp it.

1.The underlined word “suppress” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

A. give away B. look into

C. cover up D. search for

2.What speeded up the spread of Martha’s story?

A. Parents’ complaints.

B. The authority’s order.

C. The photos of other kids.

D. Supporting from the school.

3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. The root of Streisand effect.

B. The influence of Streisand effect.

C. People’s reaction to Streisand effect.

D. Historical examples of Streisand effect.

4.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Streisand effect benefits most famous people.

B. It’s not a good idea to argue against authorities.

C. The ban on something may have opposite effect.

D. Turning to the law is a perfect way to get one out of trouble.
