She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline em¬ployee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales (称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn't lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage."What's wrong with this girl?" He said, "Why doesn't she hurry up?" He moved for-ward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, "Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane.

During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman who got married at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children,of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women get married at a younger age and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器)and convenience foods.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they got married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and thoughwomen tend to get married young, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more return afterwards to a full-time or part-time job. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with bothhusband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.1.We are told that in an average family about 1890___D___.A.many children died before they were fiveB.the youngest child would be fifteen years younger than the oldestC.seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD.the child death rate was rather high2.When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother__D____.A.would expect to work until she diedB.was usually expected to take up paid employmentC.would be healthy enough to take up paid employmentD.was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely3.Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ___D___.A.get married so that they can get a jobB.leave school as soon as they canC.give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD.continue working until they are going to have a baby4.According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to __C____.A.stay at home after leaving schoolB.marry men younger than themselvesC.start working again later in lifeD.get married while still at school5.The best title for this passage is ___A_________.A.Great Changes in Women’s LifeB.19th-Century FamilyC.Modern Girls’ChoiceD.Equal Duties in Family LifeIn the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morn¬ing. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in ad¬vance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued high¬ly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.1.What is the main idea of this passage? BA.It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B.The role of time in social life over the world.C.If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D.Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.2.What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? BA.A matter of work.B.A matter of life or death.C.You want to see him or her.D.You want to make an appointment with him or her.3.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend? BA.at 7:00 am.B.at 4:00 pm.C.at the midnight.D.at 4:00 am.4.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? DA.In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a din-ner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B.There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C.It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A. .D.Promptness is valued highly in American life.5.From the passage we can safely infer that ____B___ .A.it's a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time.B.the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.C.it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party.D.if a person is late for a date, he needn't make some explanation.The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people's lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)26. What's this passage about? (C )A. France.B. King Louis.C. The French Revolution.D. Europe.27.

Reading comprehension (40 points)Directions: In this section there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. Choose the best answer.Passage 1On a practical level, teachers need a wide variety of skills and abilities. They have to be ready to spend many hours at home planning their lessons and preparing homework. They have to be well organized in class, patient with students, able to appear bright and interested even if they are in fact tired or unhappy, and lively enough to control a group of young people for almost 200 days a year. Outside the classroom, they may have to prepare teaching materials, to choose books to use as texts, to help organize the work of other teachers, or to organize spare time activities for students.If you think that you have all the necessary qualities, you may feel that you would like to be a teacher. One way to decide, if you live in the United States, is by joining a club for future teachers, such as Student Action for Education. Clubs like this give advice about your field, and also allow you to watch teachers at work, attend meetings and experiment with teaching methods and equipment. You could also talk with the job advisor at your school or university. Finally, you could try teaching a younger student or becoming an advisor at a summer camp for children. Any activity in which you are dealing with children will help you decide whether you have a calling for teaching.21. The first paragraph is mainly about ____A____.A) how to plan lessons and prepare homeworkB) how to help organize the work of other teachersC) various skills and abilities teachers needD) how to prepare teaching materials22. The second paragraph is mainly concerned with ___B_____.A) the ways of deciding one's future employmentB) the ways to decide whether teaching should be one's future employmentC) joining a club for future teachersD) talking to an advisor when choosing future employment23. According to the author, a teacher should show a firm mind ___D_____.A) that suffers only from tirednessB) that suffers only from unhappinessC) that suffers only from unusual tiredness or unhappinessD) that is able to control tiredness and unhappiness24. Student Action for Education is ____A____.A) a summer camp for childrenB) an activity at a summer campC) a club for future teachersD) a club for job advisors25. Which of the following does the author suggest to a person who wants to be a teacher? ___C_____.A) Watching teachers at work, or organizing students' spare time activitiesB) Preparing and correcting homework, experimenting with teaching methods and equipmentC) Joining a future teachers' club, talking with job advisors, or working with childrenD) Planning lessons, or attending teachers' meetingsPassage 2There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals are in a worse position than human beings. In some cases, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, there are special shops that sell clothing and food for cats and dogs.In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big markets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in a small town in France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. The dogs choose from a variety of dishes on the menu.Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in such wealth and comfort. People treat their pets in a more practical way. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Owners have some loving feelings for their pets, but they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn't any special clothing or fine food for animals. There aren't any special restaurants for dogs.Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.26. According to the passage, in most countries ___A______.A) people treat their pets like members of their familiesB) there are special shops that sell clothing for dogs and catsC) animals are in a worse position than human beingsD) pets such as dogs and cats are very popular27. According to the passage, there are _____A______.A) restaurants for dogs in every city in FranceB) no dogs or cats that wear clothingC) some people who treat their pets far better than they treat their childrenD) many owners of dogs and cats in the United States and Europe28. For many people, pets may have a more practical function because ____B_____.A) cats and dogs can be used to keep away miceB) pets are often useful companions for old peopleC) pets can sometimes be sold to make moneyD) some pets may show loving feelings for their owners.29. In your opinion, which of the following sentences is probably true? ____D_____.A) Dogs and cats like to wear expensive clothing.B) Many people visit the dog restaurant in France.C) People in every part of the world like to buy fine clothing for their pets.D) In some cases, animals have better food and clothing than people.30. The main idea of this reading passage is: ___C____.A) Dogs enjoy fine restaurantsB) A rich cat can afford to go to any restaurantC) People treat pets in very different ways in different parts of the worldD) It is stupid to have special food and clothing for animalsPassage 3What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother.Today about half of the country’s married women are em ployed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that chore. Instead many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meal. It is easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way from work or t take family out for pizzas, or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as part of a family unit and don’t want to bother cooking for one.Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it doesn’t require any dressing up, it offers a “fun” break.31. American women left home to work in large numbers because of____D_____.A) the improved living standardB) the increase in food priceC) the need of wartime industryD) the modernization of the kitchen32. The phrase “pitch in” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to___A______.A) “offer help and support”B) “eat with good appetite”C) “offer compliment”D) “disagree with”33. What is a working mother’s best choice if she does not have ti me to prepare dinner for the family according to the passage? ___C____.A) Making a meal out of canned food.B) Buying some chicken on the way home and frying it.C) Taking the family to dinner at a pizza place.D) Heating up frozen dinners.34. Which of the following groups of Americans are most likely to cook their meal at home? ___B___A) Single working mothers.B) unmarried mature people.C) elderly people living alone.D) Unemployed women with family.35. What is this passage mainly about? ___C_____.A) Women’s liberation in America.B) Changes in the American family during Word War II.C) Reasons for the popularity of fast food in America.D) Rising divorce rate in America today.Passage 4The earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. With it are eight other planets (行星), fellow members of the sun's family.Two of them are nearer while the other six are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun. People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in fixed paths. It is a force called gravity (重力) that holds them in their paths.We know that every little bit of matter in the universe (宇宙) pulls upon every other bit of matter. Because the sun is so large, the pulls between the sun and the planets are thus great. If it were not for these pulls, the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon, which keeps the moon traveling in its orbit (轨道) around our planet, the earth. Gravity holds you to the earth’s surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course, the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.Now remember that large bodies bring to bear a greater pull on any body than smaller ones which contain less material. But each object in the universe, no matter how small, pulls on all other objects to some degree.36. The earth is ____A______ in the sun family.A) one of the nine fellow membersB) bigger than two of the other bodiesC) smaller than the other bodiesD) nearer than two fellow members37. These traveling bodies _____D_____.A) make much longer trips when they travel around the sunB) have the same traveling pathsC) have their paths changed a bitD) move along certain paths around the sun38. The gravity of every matter in the universe ____A______.A) worksB) makes it fly off into spaceC) keeps the object travelingD) holds it to the surface39. The pull makes the ball ____A______.A) you throw into the air fall back to the earthB) go up into the skyC) fly around the bodyD) none of the above40. Which of the following is TRUE? ____C______.A) The smaller matters fly off into space.B) We do not notice the pull of the moon.C) The larger the bodies are, the greater their pull is.D) The moon travels around the earth because it's nearer to the earth than the other fellowmembers in the sun's family.Part III. Cloze (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. Fill in the blanks by selecting proper words given below. You may not use any of the words more than once.Useful words: A) interested, B) frustrating, C) comfortable, D) valuable, E) post, F) virtual, G) rewarding, H) insights, I) embarrassed, J) communicate, K) benefit, L) medium, M) explanation, N) information, O) minimumGood communication is the key to success when learning online. You should take the opportunity to get to know your teacher and classmates through email and by participating in Internet discussions. This will lead to a more positive and (D) learning experience.It’s true that learning the technology needed to tak e part in a class can at times be (B). For example, you may need to ask how to (E) your assignment on the Web. But, don’t worry! If you have a problem, ask for help. There is no such thing as a stupid question, so there is no need to be intimidated or (I). Sharing (N) and answers freely is what makes the Internet such a great medium for learning.Online classroom teacher Mike Roberts was asked about what he thought the greatest (K) of online learning is. “As a teacher, I need the students to ask questions s o that I know what areas of my lessons need further (M). That is what is great about teaching and learning over Internet. In an ordinary classroom, time is limited, so students seem to ask the (O) amount of questions possible. But in the (F) classroom, students are always asking questions. They really seem to feel (G) asking me for the information that they need. They also share a lot of valuable ideas with each other in a way that you don’t usually see in a regular classroom.”Part IV.

During the 19th century, scientists found that when certain parts of the brain of a person were hurt, he would lose the power of doingcertain things. And so people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modem research discovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Scientists have found out the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists fell us that about 100 000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We, may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but it is kept there in the storehouse ( 宝库 ) of the humanbrain. Earlier scientists thought that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical work without using much of his brain.(1). In the 19th century, scientist found that a person would lose the power to do certain things ( )A. when he got weaker in healthB.if certain parts of his brain were hurtC.after he did a quite different jobD.when he grew older(2).

People landing at London''s Heathrow airport have something newto look at as they fly over Britain''s capital city. It is attractive, simple and a little strange. The Millennium Dome ( 千禧穹 )is a huge semi-circle of plastic and steel and it contains the largest public space in the world. It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in British life, learning and leisure.The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers, one ofBritain''s most famous architects ( 建筑师 ) . His work points the way to new developments in building. Think of it as a giant symbolof the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near-future.Buildings are also a part of history. They express the culture ofthe times. Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility. While different designers have individual styles, their work also has a common style. That is: to express the values of the information age. What is an "information age" building? The Dome is a good example. After theMillennium exhibition ends, it will be used for another purpose. Just as people no longer have "jobs for life", modem buildings are designed for a number of different uses. Another Richard Roger''s building, the PompidouCenter in France, uses the idea that information is communication. Instead of being hidden in the walls, heating pipes and elevators are open to public view. The PompidouCenter is a very honest building. It tells you how it works.(1). The Millennium Dome has been originally built to holdan exhibition ( )A. of different building designsB. .of everything that can draw the attention of people C.of the finest things in BritainD.of recent developments in information technology(2). The sentence "His work points the way to new developments in building"(Para.2) implies that the designer Sir Richard Rogers ( )A. has developed a new set of building standardsB.strictly follows the tradition in his work C.is a pioneer architect of his ageD.is the father of modem architecture(3). Sir Richard Rogers clearly knows mat it is his duty to ( )A. create something out of a unique styleB.house those people who will often change their jobs C.make his buildings historic onesD.construct a building that can meet the changes of the modem age(4). The PompidouCenter in France is outstanding in the fact that ( )A. people in it are able to visit each other convenientlyB.visitors can see clearly the structure and facilities of the whole buildingC.it makes use of the best techniques invented in the information ageD.it was designed and built by an honest British designer(5). This short passage mainly tells us about ( )A. the unique contribution of a famous architectB.modem buildings of various stylesC.a few developments in house-buildingD.the common features of British and French buildings4. One Sunday, Mark decided to go sailing in his boat with hisfriendDan, but Dan happened to be away. Dan''s brother John offered to goinstead though he did not know anything about sailing. Mark agreed and they set out to sea.Soon they found themselves in a thick fog. Mark was sure they would be hit by a big ship. Fortunately he saw a large buoy ( 浮标 )through the fog and decided to tie the boat to it for safety. As he was getting onto the buoy, however, he dropped the wet rope.

(阅读理解题)Passage 3Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.What are the beauties of Hawaii? Let’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for themachine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.”That is the most beautiful thing of all.(1).

(阅读理解题)Passage 4Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Every country has secret services to help protect it against serious threats from terrorists, major criminals or even from other countries. People who threaten to harm a country always plotin secret, so the intelligence agencies have to work in secret to find out what is being planned before it happens, so that it can be prevented. They do that in many different ways – by secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone, by planting microphones to overhear meetings, by watching the targets as they move from place to place and by recruiting some of the targets to act as double agents to report on what is going on.For most of my career I worked in one of the UK’s three intelligence services, MIS, the domestic security service. I first joined in the 1970s, in the middle of the Cold War, when the war was divided into two armed camps, the Soviet Union(苏联) and its allies on the one side and Western Europe, America and their allies on the other. The Cold War never became a fighting war. It was an intelligence war, with intelligence officers from both sides trying to find out what the other side was doing, what kind of weapons they had, when and if they might start a war and what their plans were. Both sides were secretly working in each other’s countries.Nowadays one of the biggest threats to the world, comes from terrorists. Intelligence officers from many different countries are working together to find out who they are., where they areand what they are planning. Today’s MIS officers get their intelligence in much the same way as we did during the Cold War, but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists want to kill people. Many terrorist attacks that are planned and prepared never happen, and we never know anything about them because the intelligence services find them out and prevent them.(1). (单选题) What is the first paragraph mainly about?

In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, “There’s even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep.” Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at the switch. To quote an obscure proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature require s seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.” Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at the switch is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,” says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research. Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “American sleep debt,” which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, President Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze every afternoon. About 60% of American adults nap when given the opport unity. We seem to have “a mid-afternoon quiescent phase,” also called “a secondary sleep gate.” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and improve alertness. Clearly, we were born to nap. We Superstars of Snooze don’t n ap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we “snack” on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. Call it somnia. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors, couches and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.There is an exquisite pleasure in giving oneself over to drowsiness, particularly if you’re supposed to be doing something else. And we should all note, napping is one of the few pleasures left that are not life-threatening. The pathologically alert like to think they get more done than nappers. Wrong again. Winston Churchill slept every afternoon when he was the wartime Prime Minister of England. Napoleon napped on the battlefield. Calvin Coolidge, Lyndon Johnson and John Kennedy all took naps. If there is to be a transformation of American sleep behavior, we nappers, the sleep elite, will have to share our “sleeping skills” with those less fortunate than we are, or the nap-impaired. For starters, here are a few of my favorite naps. At work: Nap freedom, to me, is as great an incentive as money or power. Sleeping at work is superbly satisfying, and in some cases necessary. Truck drivers should pull over at the first sign of drowsiness — as should anyone operating machinery, including a word processor. In class: These naps can be pleasant because of the risk involved. I once succumbed to drowsiness in a high-school French class and was awakened by my teacher singing, “Frere Jackques, Frere Jacques, dormezvous?” Willia m Dement has designated sleeping sections in his courses at Stanford. At a concert: Sleeping (discreetly) at a concert can be among life’s great experiences. One rides the music, wafted this way and that on themes and leitmotifs. Wagner in particular promotes vivid dreams. Best nap of all: Myall-time-favorite way to snooze is in a hammock on a screened-in porch, on a mild summer day and — this is what makes it perfect — a huge, important book on my chest, open and unread. Such napping says much about the principles we live by —and sleep by. There’s the story told about a young playwright who once asked a famous author to view a rehearsal of his new play. The author slept through the whole thing. Afterward the young man complained, saying he really ha d wanted the author’s opinion. In a pithy summation of the committed napper’s view of life, the author replied, “Sleep is an opinion.”1. It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is ________.A)unreasonableB)criminalC)harmfulD)costly2.

The “American debt” is the result of ______.A)the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleepB)the new sleep policy of Clinton AdministrationC)the rapid development of American industryD)the Am erican’s worry about the danger of sleepiness5. The sentence “Rather, we ‘snack’ on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it.” means that it is ______.A)preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shiftB)good practice to eat something light before we go to bedC)essential to make up for lost sleepD)natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itThe amount of sleep each person needs depends on many factors, including age. Infants generally require about 16 hours a day, while teenagers need about 9 hours on average. For most adults, 7 to 8 hours a night appears to be the best amount of sleep, although some people may need as few as 5 hours or as many as 10 hours of sleep each day. Women in the first 3 months of pregnancy often need several more hours of sleep than usual. The amount of sleep a person needs also increases if he or she had been deprived of sleep in previous days. Getting too little sleep creates a “sleep debt”, which is much like being overd rawn at a bank. Eventually, your body will demand that the debt be repaid. We don’t seem to adapt to getting less sleep than we need; while we may get used to a sleep-depriving schedule, our judgment, reaction time, and other functions are still impaired. People tend to sleep more lightly and for shorter time spans as they get older, although they generally need about the same amount of sleep as they needed in early adulthood. About half of all people over 65 have frequent sleeping problems, such as insomnia, and deep sleep stages in many elderly people often become very short or stop completely. This change may be a normal part of aging, or it may result from medical problems that are common in elderly people and from the medications and other treatments for those problems. Experts say that if you feel drowsy during the day, even during boring activities, you haven’t had enough sleep. If you routinely fall asleep within 5 minutes of lying down, you probably have severe sleep deprivation, possibly even a sleep disorder. Microsleeps, or very brief episodes of sleep in an otherwise awake person, are another mark of sleep deprivation. In many cases, people are not aware that they are experiencing microsleeps. The widespread practice of “burning the candle at both ends” in western industrialized societies has created so much sleep deprivation that what is really abnormal sleepiness is now almost the norm. Many studies make it clear that sleep deprivation is dangerous. Sleep-deprived people who are tested by using a driving simulatoror by performing a hand-eye coordination task perform as badly as or worse than those who are intoxicated. Sleep deprivation also magnifies alcohol’s effects on the body, so a fatigued person who drinks will become much more impaired than someone who is well rested. Driver fatigue is responsible for an estimated 100,000 motor vehicle accidents and 1,500 deaths each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Since drowsiness is the brain’s last step before falling asleep, driving while drowsy can — and often does — lead to disaster. Caffeine and other stimulants cannot overcome the effects of severe sleep deprivation. The National Sleep Foundation says that if you have trouble keeping your eyes focused, if you can’t stop yawning, or if you can’t remember driving the last few miles, you are probably too drowsy to drive safely.6.

Both A and C.Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossibleto give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don‘t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”11. At first the author looked upon life as a process of getting. He formed this view of life because _ .A)other people were selfishB)he thought it exciting to get from othersC)of his early educationD) of his character12. The author wrote a note of appreciation to the post office because .A)he knew what such a note would mean to the post officeB)he had discovered giving-away made life more excitingC)he believed he would get something back by doing soD)the postman delivered an important letter in time13. When the author needed a post-office box .A)many had applied for post-office boxes before himB)he asked to put his name on a waiting listC)he tried to see the postmasterD)he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation14. The postmaster promised ______________.A)to make a new post-office box for the authorB)to let the author have a post-office boxC)to include the author’s name on the listD)to deliver the author’s mail to his home15. The postmaster interfered because _______________.A)he overheard their conversationB)he had received a lot of complaints for lack of boxesC)he was thankful for the letter the author had writtenD). he was proud of their good serviceConventional wisdom says it’s the students who get straight A’s blow the roof of the SAT (Sc holastic Aptitude Test) and go to Ivy League colleges. Or maybe it’s the children born into wealthy families with brilliant connections. Neither is typical, says Thomas J. Stanley, who surveyed 1300 millionaires for his new book, The Millionaire Mind. The average millionaire made B’s and C’s in college, Stanley says. Their average SAT score was 1190—not good enough to get into many top-notch schools. In fact, most millionaires weretold they were not intellectually gifted, not smart enough to succeed. “I find no correlation between SAT scores, grade point averages and economic achievement. None.” said Stanley. “Admittedly, there are some very bright people in the data, but not many.” Instead of relying on natural genius, millionaires choose careers that match their abilities, Stanley said. They may not have great analytic intelligence, but they are creative and practical. They focus on a goal, take calculated risks and then work harder than most people. It’s a lesson Stanley has taken to heart. The author, who lives in Atlanta, has gotten rich himself by writing about the rich. So he took time off to write what he calls “the home-run book.” The Millionaire Next Door, written with researcher William D. Danko of Albany, N.Y., was published in 1996. It has been on The New York Times Best Sellers list for more than 150 weeks. In The Millionaire Mind, Stanley studied even richer millionaires — the top 1% of households. These people had an average net worth of $9.2 million and earned $749,000 a year. And almost none of them credit their success to being smart. They say the keys to success are being honest and disciplined, getting along with people, having a supportive spouse and working hard. “Somehow they figured out what they were good at,” Stan ley said. “They all said, I’ll be the best at this. This is what I really, really love to do.” One of his case studies is Donald Sonner, the 64-year-old head of Southern Bloomer Manufacturing Co. in Bristol, Tenn. Sonner’s only education was a single year of high school, but he was a millionaire by the time he was 24. How? His company takes scrap cloth and makes underwear for prisons and gun-cleaning patches. He got rich by working hard and capitalizing on an idea no one else had, Stanley said.16. Which of the following is NOT true about Thomas J. Stanley?A)He is the writer of The Millionaire Mind.B)He himself became rich by writing about the rich.C)He has found that one’s school grades and his economic achievement are closely related.D)One of his books, The Millionaire Next Door, has been on the list of Best Sellers.17. We can learn from the passage that .A)one who wants to be a millionaire must have high scores in college.B)natural intelligence is not so important a factor on deciding whether or not a person is able to become a millionaire.C)a child born into a rich family is likely to be a millionaire in the future.D)one can become rich by taking scrap cloth and making underwear for prisons.18. What are the keys to success according to the passage?A)honest and hardworking.B)smart and creativeC)intelligent and well-educatedD)self-disciplined and risk-taking19. What kinds of careers do millionaires choose?A)They choose the ones that are well-paid.B)They choose the ones that they’re capable of doing.C)They choose careers according to their natural genius.D)They choose the ones that supply them with room for their individualism.20. In the sentence “It’s a lesson Stanley has taken to heart”, “It” refers to .A)He himself has gotten rich by writing about the rich.B)Millionaires may not have great analytic intelligence.C)Books about millionaires will be very popular with readers.D)What he has found about millionaires in his survey.。
