AScope:Recently your school board proposed (提议) moving the school start time from 7:50 a.m. to 7:20 a.m. What was your reaction to this?Jilly Dos Santos:I was getting only four to six hours of sleep a night and I was late for school a lot. With the new start time, I'd have to wake up even earlier. After we heard about the proposal, a teacher said to my class, “If you don't like it, why don't you do something ab out it?”Scope:What did you do?Jilly:I organized a group of students to speak to the school board.Scope:What did you do to prepare for the meeting?Jilly:I wanted to focus our presentation on why having an earlier start time was unhealthy. There is scientific research about teens and sleep. I learned that during your teen years, because of a change in hormones (激素), your body clock begins to change. You start to want to go to bed later. School starts the same time it always has, so getting enough sleep becomes difficult. I realized there wasn't something wrong with my time management or me; the way I was feeling had a physical and biological basis.Scope:How did it go?Jilly:About 30 students came to support me, and the board liked that I didn't get emotional and just provided the evidence. Two months later, an 8:55 a.m. start time became official: The board decided to make the start time later instead of earlier.Scope:What has changed since the later start time?Jilly:I don't need to stay up an extra hour or two at night, because I can get work done in the morning. I've also been late a lot less. And this year, there are more morning clubs and more people going to them.错误!21.Jilly's teacher seemed to encourage the students________.A.to talk with the school boardB.to get their work done in timeC.to voice their opinions bravelyD.to take action to support the proposal解析:选C推理判断题。

BRobert Munsch is an American born Canadian author of children's books. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1945. After graduation, Munsch at first wanted to become a priest (牧师) but then he changed his career path towards writing stories for children. He started off with working at day care centers. In 1975 he decided to move back to Canada. There he worked in the preschool at the University of Guelph in Ontario. He also lectured and then became an assistant professor there in the Department of Family Studies.Robert Munsch is all about storytelling and that is something he loves most. His illustrative (解说的) style of telling his story attracted the attention of his first audience in 1972. And that was the beginning of his storytelling career. According to Munsch, a perfect story takes 200 tellings in order to become perfect. He can spend days and years perfecting his tale before performing it in front of a larger audience. Robert then started putting his imaginative style on paper and thus became a famous author of children's books.Munsch's characters are taken from real life; they're the children he meets while storytelling in different places. For example his story Ribbon Rescue was inspired by a girl who came to hear his story wearing a ribbon dress. Another story called Lighthouse was inspired by two children named Amanda and Jeremiah who he met in Pontiac, Michigan. His own children have also played some parts in his stories.Munsch has written many books which have also been translated into various languages. His first books The Mud Puddle and The Dark were published in 1979. His most notable work is thebook Love you Forever, which was published in 1986. This book became an international bestseller.Robert Munsch is known for his overstated (夸张的) way of storytelling and use of different voices. He repeats a story many times to improve its quality. Some of his books have also been made into animated (动画的) series named A Bunch of Munsch.语篇解读:本文是记叙文。
