Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch．They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness．Or，in summer，they may think it is the heat．However，the real reason lies inside their bodies．At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down．This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy．Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day．The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern．They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later．
In many parts of the world，people take naps in the middle of the day．This is especially true in warmer climates，where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon．Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate．A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general．In countries where naps are traditional，people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease．Many working people，unfortunately，have no time to take naps．Though doctors may advise taking naps，employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance，however，here are a few tips about making the most of your nap．Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up．A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward，This can also happen if you sleep for too long．If you do not have enough time，try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．
24．Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A．Because you eat too much for lunch．
B．Because it’s hot in summer．
C．Because your body temperature goes down at that time．
D．Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night．
25．What can we learn about“naps”according to the last paragraph?
A．All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day．
B．Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t．
C．If you take naps everyday，you’11 never suffer from heart disease．
D．Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people’s health．
26．What can we infer from the passage?
A．If you get up at 6：30 am，you’d better take a nap at about 1：30 pm．
B．Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health．
C．Y ou will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time．
D．Y ou’11 feel sleepy at regular intervals．
27．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Just for a Rest B．A1l for a Nap
C．A Special Sleep Pattern D．Taking Naps in Warmer Climate
C
Across Britain，burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers．But，according to a new study，we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year．
Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work．Now，the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours，they would earn as much as￡172，000 a year．
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do，as well as the hours they are working，to determine the figure．This would make their yearly income￡30，000 more than the Prime Minister earns．By analysing the numbers，it found the average mother works 119 hours a week，40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime．After questioning 1，000 mothers with children under 18，it found that，on most days，mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm．
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour，it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on，including housekeeper，part-time lawyer，personal trainer and entertainer．Being a part-time lawyer，at￡48．98 an hour，would prove to be the most profitable of the“mum jobs”，with psychologist(心理学家)a close second．
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face，with 80 percent making emotional(情感的)demand as the hardest thing about motherhood．
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends．
The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day．The emotional，physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending，but children are also sources of great joy and happiness．Investing(投入)in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent．28．How much does a Prime Minister earn，according to the passage?
A．￡30，000．B．￡142，000．
C．￡172，000．D．￡202，000．
29．The biggest challenge for most mothers is from_____．
A．emotional demand B．1ow pay for work
C．heavy workload D．1ack of training
30．What is stressed in the last paragraph?
A．Mothers’importance shows in family all year long．
B．The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile．
C．Mothers’devotion to children can hardly be calculated．
D．Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return．
31．What can we conclude from the study?
A．Mothers’working hours should be largely reduced．
B．Mothers should balance their time for work and rest．
C．Mothers’labour is of a higher value than it is realized．
D．Mothers should be freed from housework for social life．
D
You are a new manager at the American branch of your German firm in Chicago．With a few minutes to spare between meetings，you go to get a quick cup of coffee．
“Hey，David，how are you?”one of the senior partners at the firm asks you．
“Good，thank you，Dr．Greer，”you reply．You’ve really been wanting to make a connection with the senior leadership at the firm，and this seems like a great opportunity．But as you start to think of something to say，your American colleague breaks in to steal your spotlight．
“So Arnold”，your colleague says to your boss，in such a casual manner that it makes your German soul cringe(畏缩)，“So what’s your Super bowl prediction? I mean，you’re a Niners fan，right?”
The conversation moves on，and you walk silently back to your desk with your coffee．You know how important small talk is in the U．S．，and you feel jealous of people you’re your colleague who can do it well．There’s nothing small about the role that small talk plays in American professional culture．People from other countries are often surprised at how important small talk is in the U．S．and how naturally and comfortably people seem to do it—with peers，men，women，and even with superiors．You can be the most technically skilled worker in the world，but your ability to progress in your job in the United States is highly dependent on your ability to build and maintain positive relationships with people at work．And guess what skill is critical for building and maintaining these relationships? Small talk．
What can you do if you are from another culture and want to learn to use small talk in the U．S．to build relationships and establish trust? Work hard to hone(磨练)your own version of American-style small talk．Watch how others do it．You don’t have to mimic what they do；in fact，that would likely backfire because people would see you as inauthentic．But if you can develop your own personal version，that can go
a long way toward making you feel comfortable and competence．
32.The author introduces the topic of the passage by______．
A. raising an interesting question B．describing an interesting scene
C.making comparisons D．telling a small jokes
33．What do we know about German people?
A．They usually make small talk in work breaks．
B．They hate making small talk．
C．They don’t make so much small talk．
D．They are good at making small talk too．
34. What makes people from other countries surprised in American professional culture?
A．American workers’ability to make progress．
B．American workers’attitude towards superiors．
C．The special meaning of small talk．
D．The role small talk plays in work settings．
35. What does“backfire”underlined in the last paragraph mean?
A．be difficult B．be helpful
C．have a good result D．have the opposite effect

I am astonished at the way God knows when to send a special gift of encouragement at just the right time! It might be in a dream, a lost letter, a memory, or something found that we’d forgotten about.
My grandmother was from a town in Michigan. And summer after summer I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child. I was from the city and loved the small town where they lived. People knew everyone, their children, their pets, their ancestors.
Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting …She would make sandwiches and we’d have tea parties, plant flowers and carefully tend them. She loved knitting sweaters as well as making beautiful quilts for her grandchildren. I remember the small thimble (顶针) she would place on her finger while doing her needlework.
A few years ago, when Grandma left this earth for her new residence in Heaven, I bid farewell to my loving grandmother. How quickly our lives can change! We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier, on her 91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it mostly on my birthdays, because there was no card from Grandma. She’d never forgotten my birthday!
On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low, something happened and made me feel as if she was sharing that special day with me. I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow；it was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam (缝) that I carefully opened, and, to my delight, out came a tiny silver thimble!
How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her! Not realizing k had fallen off her finger, I pictured her sewing h into that little pillow that I just happened to fluff (抖松), to place on my bedspread (床罩) that day. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others Id collected over the years. What a precious memory of a very special lady who, somehow, I knew, was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble into my pillow. I heated the kettle and made some tea, using my best china, as Grandma always did, and then enjoyed my tea and Grandma’s thimble. What a wonderful birthday that was!
24. In the author’s memory, what would her grandmother do?
A. She would make sandwiches and hamburgers for her family.
B. She would wear a thimble for needlework every day.
C. She would make beautiful quilts for money.
D. She would look after the flowers in the garden.
25. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The modern world’s fast-changing life.
B. The fact that the grandmother had passed away.
C. The author’s missing her grandmother.
D. The love the author got from her grandmother.
26. How did the author feel when she found the thimble?
A. Surprised.
B. Regretful.
C. Guilty.
D. Lonely.
27. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Grandma’s Thimble
B. Grandma’s Life Story
C. The Joy of Finding Something Lost
D. The Importance of Putting Things Away
C
More and more comments sections are being shut down online.
Autumn Phillips had had enough. On Aug. 19, the executive editor of the Quad- City Times in Iowa,
and Illinois, US visited her website, qctimes, and saw a story about a man who had been shot to death. When she got to the readers’ comments sections at the end, she was shocked by what she saw. Below the story was a growing number of comments—a racist remark about democratic votes, a negative comment about police …So Phillips decided to do something she had been thinking about for a long time she shut down the comments sections.
Phillips was not alone in making such a move. Last week, NPR announced k too was closing its online comments sections. The decisions don’t mean that the news outlets are no longer interested in what their audiences are thinking. Both stressed their eagerness to hear from readers and listeners on social networks. But both agreed that comments had deviated from their original intention. And so they had.
In early days of digital journalism, comments were seen as a key part of this new media, a wonderful opportunity for strengthening the dialogue between news producers and their audiences. It was a welcome change, given that for long many news organizations were far too separated from their readers. Much more back and forth conversation seemed like healthy and welcome evolution. Sadly, that’s not the way things turned out. Rather than a place for exchanging ideas, comments sections became the home of ugly name-calling, racism and anti-women language. Besides their poisonous quality, comments seem out of place today.
“Since we made the announcement, I’ve received an outpouring of responses from our readers,” she says. “I’ve heard from parents whose children were hurt by our online comments.

28. Why did Autumn Phillips shut down the comments sections?
A. They were put to wrong use.
B. Her website was attacked heavily.
C. They exposed many illegal issues.
D. She was angry about readers’ comments.
29. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 indicate about comments?
A. They were out of date.
B. They had gone against their original intentions.
C. They were full of sensitive information.
D. They couldn’t interest the audience.
30. What was the welcome change in the early digital journalism?
A. Readers, having more access to news.
B. Readers’ making less negative comments.
C. Readers’ freedom to express their thoughts.
D. Readers’ active involvement in the news industry.
31. How do many readers feel about Autumn Phillips, move according to the last paragraph?
A. Cautious.
B. Hopeful.
C. Surprised.
D. Supportive.

Every country may have to consider what, if anything, to do about “global warming”. We should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true.
Perhaps the most inconvenient fact is the lack of global warming for well over 10 years now. This is known to the warming establishment, as one can see from t he 2009 “Climategate” email of climate scientist
evin Trenberth “The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is an irony that we can’t.” But the warming is only missing if one believes computer models where so-called feedback involving water vapor and clouds greatly amplifies the small effect of CO2. The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant and it is a key component of the biosphere (生物圈)’s life cycle. Plants get better growth with more of it and part of the increase of agricultural yields in the past century certainly came from additional CO2 in the atmosphere.
Although the number of the scientists who are publicly opposed to the claim is growing, many young scientists secretly say that while they also have serious doubts about the global-warming message, they are afraid to speak up for fear of not being promoted or worse.
Why is there so much passion about global warming? There are several reasons, but a good place to start is the old question “Cui bono?”, or the modern update, “Follow the money”. Alarmism(危言耸听) over climate is of great benefit to many, providing government funding for academic research, and thus those people who benefit from this fiercely defended their dogma (信条) and the privileges it brought them.
Every country should support rational (合理的) measures to protect and improve our environment, but it makes no sense at all to back expensive programs that turn away resources from real needs and are based on alarming but shaky claims of “incontrovertible” evidenc e.
32. What can we infer about the author’s opinion on global warming?
A. Global warming hasn’t happened in the latest 10 years.
B. Global warming has become an urgent problem these years.
C. Global warming has worsened a little bit in the recent years.
D. Global warming has never happened since measures were taken.
33. Which of the following statements about CO2 does the writer probably agree with?
A. CO2 greatly affects the global warming.
B. CO2 makes crops more productive.
C. CO2 involves water vapor and clouds.
D. CO2 is the most important part of the biosphere.
34. Why is there so much passion for global warming?
A. Because t is a good chance for young scientists to be promoted.
B. Because the scientists want to have an insight into the problem.
C. Because the government values the problem and tries to solve it.
D. Because some people can greatly benefit from the research about it.
35. What’s the writer’s attitude toward the programs to protect and improve our environment?
A. To support all the programs as long as they are beneficial.
B. To support cheap programs instead of expensive ones.
C. To support the programs that are necessary and reliable.
D. To support those programs that use less money and resources.

Do you belong to a highly emotionally intelligent person?
As we all know, emotional intelligence (EI) has been an important factor in our success and happiness, not only at work, but in our relationships and all areas of our lives. So what sets emotionally intelligent people apart? 36
They focus on the positive. While not ignoring the bad news, emotionally intelligent people do not spend a lot of time and energy focusing on problems. 37 These people focus on what they are able to do and what is within their control.
They surround themselves with positive people. People with a lot of EI don’t spend a lot of time listening to complainers. They are aware that those people are not helpful to them. 38 You can spot these folks as they tend to smile and laugh a great deal and attract other positive people. Their warmth, openness, and caring attitude let others look upon them as more trustworthy.
They look for ways to make life more fun, happy, and interesting. Whether it is in their workplace, at home, or with friends, high EI people know what makes them happy and look for opportunities to expand their enjoyment. 39 Therefore, they do whatever they can to brighten someone else’s day.
40 People with high EI are so busy thinking o f possibilities in the future that they don’t spend a lot of time worrying about things that didn’t work out in the past. They take the learning from their past failures and apply it to their actions in the future.
A. They are willing to let go of the past.
B. People know how they can use their energy wisely.
C. Here are four habits that people with high EI have
D. They receive pleasure and satisfaction from seeing others happy.
E. So they always spend time with people that look at the bright side of life.
F. Instead, they use the incident to create awareness of how to not let it happen again.
G. Rather, they look at what is positive in a situation and look for solutions to a problem!

To whom it may concern,
I’m Li Hua, a middle school student from China. Having seen the notice posted on the Internet, I’m writing to apply for the summer vacation camp to be held in Australia by the United Nations.
I believe that I’m fairly qualified in English. In my daily life, I never give up an opportunity to practice both oral and written English, such as joining in my school’s English co rner or communicating with foreign pen pals. I also placed first in the last two annual English speaking contests my school has held. On top of my English abilities, I am a friendly person who is easy to get on with. I love working through assignments as p art of a team, and I’m also passionate and optimistic in whatever I’m dealing with.
If I were chosen to take part in this summer camp, it would be a great chance to share the beauty of Chinese culture with others, as well as to get to learn about other countries and cultures. I hope you will consider me for this amazing opportunity, and I would appreciate it if you could keep me informed of your
decision. I look forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
