Celebrating sleep

World Sleep Day, observed on 21 March, was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems worldwide. Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world ignore its importance. As a result, sleep problems are increasingly common.

In 2002, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Of the people that responded to the survey, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed（診斷） with insomnia(失眠)  and another 17.5 percent were diagnosed with borderline (臨界狀態(tài))insomnia. In addition, 30.7 percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11.6 per cent said that they felt very sleepy during the day.

Overall, the survey found that many people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also relate to sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep. The survey’s findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night. The short-term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating. If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase.

There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping.

Getting a good night’s sleep is important for everyone. By following the advice above, you can rest better at night and work better during the day.

第三部分 閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

By analyzing academic data from 10 states, representing the testing of more than 7.2 millions of youths, U.S. researchers found that gender differences in math scores were extremely small among all ethnic groups in grades 2-11.

   These findings are in contrast to earlier results from 1990 that indicate measurable differences favoring males in complex problem-solving, beginning in the high school years.

    Janet Hyde from University of Wisconsin and colleagues reported their study results in the journal Science on Friday.

    Currently, women are largely absent from the highest levels of careers in mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering. In the United States, Ph.D. programs in engineering currently average only about 15 percent women, and similar statistics have led to stereotypes (成見(jiàn))about girls and women lacking in mathematical ability.

    Now, it is clear that the general population no longer shows a gender difference in mathematical skills, according to this latest report.

    And this new data on academic performance in the United States shows that students are tested frequently on "recall" and "skill/concept" items, but rarely on "strategic thinking"(戰(zhàn)略思維) or "extended thinking" concepts.

   If standardized tests do not assess (評(píng)估)the sorts of reasoning that are crucial to careers in science and math, then the skills may not be taught, putting American students at a disadvantage to students in other countries where testing and instruction focuses on more challenging content. "This is a gap that should be fixed," Hyde said.

56. What is the best title of the passage?

A. A new study result about math.                    B. No gender differences in math.

C. Girls are not good at math.                        D. Girls do better in math than boys.

57. The underlined word “crucial” in the last paragraph most probably means______.

A. necessary       B. unimportant          C. important    D . cruel

58. What Hyde said in the last paragraph means that ________.

  A. standardized tests should assess the sorts of reasoning so that the skills may be taught

  B. testing and instruction focuses on more challenging content in the USA

  C. students in other countries are cleverer than American students

  D. students should be tested frequently on "recall" and "skill/concept" items

59. The passage is most probably taken from _______.

A. a science magazine B. a research paper         C. a personal diary D. a newspaper

 Today, we’ve discussed a number of large summer gatherings for feasts and celebrations _____the Inuit usually swap stories.

   A. where                        B. when                       C. which                      D. why
