this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often I’m smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep,we may run over the day in our minds,and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV,read the news on our smart phones or tablets,or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming (宣告) all the things that are happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we’re still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but,with the odd exception,I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it’s something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating,when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure that I get a peaceful sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I’d suggest you find light-hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime,especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time,or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh,then you may feel even better.Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain.It strengthens the immune system,it’s good for the heart,and it is mos t definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons,I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.24.What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A.They make people run over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.25.What can we know from the text?A.Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author’s favorite books.B.A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C.The author sometimes reads something about inspiration.D.Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.26.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A.What material brings us laughter.B.How laughter affects our health.C.What benefits laughter brings to us.D.Why laughter is good for us.27.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”.But have you ever thought about this expression?When a cat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.Although the cat doesn’t realize this,its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues,the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself,or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited,angry or scared by other feelings,our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster,and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We,too,get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over,we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later?Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely,or said you were in love,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isn’t always clever to express you r feelings freely.Does this mean that it’s smarter to always hide our feelings?No!If you keep feelings of anger or sadness hidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop,and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can a ctually be bad for your health.It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don’t just go away.It’s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them,but before long you’d smell them.And if you opened the cupboard,chances are that you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide the m and you can pretend they don’t exist,but they’ll still be around.And at last you’ll have to deal with them,just like those bananas.28.When people and animals are aroused by fear, .A.they feel very regretful immediatelyB.their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC.their hearts beat either faster or slowerD.they may get ready to attack or run away29.Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A.They are usually not as alert as animals.B.They sometimes can’t control their feelin gs.C.They always do something wrong to other people.D.They don’t pay attention to their physical changes.30.What can we infer from the passage?A.Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B.Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C.Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D.It’s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.31.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B.To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C.To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D.To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely.DSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”?Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness.But many social agreed standar ds just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello.E-mail,too,is slower than a text.Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listened to.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.“Why are you leaving him voice mail?” my sister asked.“Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,a business’s phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards?Easy.Consider your audience.Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank-you message.Others,like me,want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learnt from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.32.What does the underlined word “Exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?A.Worried.B.Surprised.C.Annoyed.D.Tired.33.Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?A.He liked text messages better.B.He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C.He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.D.He didn’t want to talk with his father.34.Which of the following does the writer agree to?A.People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.B.Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C.People needn’t turn to Google for help when i n trouble.D.Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.35.What’s the best title of this passage?A.Nowadays:what should we do with text messages?B.Nowadays:do you like leaving others a voice message?C.Nowadays:what means should we use in communication?D.Nowadays:do you need a thank-you message?第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
