My brother and I were outside making every effort to stop floodwater from coming in the house. Suddenly I was thrown to the ground by a very large bang. When I picked myself up, the roof and the whole upper storey of the house had been destroyed.

I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride (搭便车)．I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven't changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”I couldn't remember where I'd met him.

A new survey also showsmore than 28 million people in the UK regularly get no more than seven hours sleep a night. Prof Richard Wiseman, who commissioned the YouGov poll described the findings as “extremely worrying”. Of the 2,149 adults questioned, 78% said they used electronic devices before going to bed. This rose to 91% among the 18 to 24-year-olds questioned in the survey.Getting less than seven hours sleep a night is below the recommended guidelines, and is associated with a range of problems, including an increased risk of weight gain, heart attacks, diabetes and cancer.“The blue light from these devices suppresses(压制) the production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, so it's important to avoid them before bedtime，” said Prof Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire.Everyone needs different amounts of sleep, but adults are generally thought to require a minimum of seven to eight hours a night. Teenagers are recommended to get more, about nine hours. The proportion (比例) of people thought to be getting too little sleep had risen by a fifth since a “bedroom poll” conducted last year by the National Sleep Foundation.Last week revealed opticians were warning that the overuse of smartphones may be increasing people's risk of eye damage. Optician Andy Hepworth said, “Blue violet light is potentially harmful to the back of your eyes.” So over a long perio d of time it can damage your eyes.

For most people, the feeling is sudden and temporary. But for a 23-year-old British patient it lasted for over eight years.The young man's symptoms began in 2007. While he had always suffered from anxiety, his condition worsened when he entered university. By 2020, the young man's symptoms had become so severe that he had given up watching television, listening to the radio and reading newspapers.Christine Wells, a researcher who led the latest study says that they couldn't find any signs of neurological problem in this young man's case. Thus, long déjà vu is a side effect for people that suffer from severe anxiety.Fortunately these cases are rare. According to researchers, the part of the brain that plays an important part in memory is responsible for the feeling. However, its sudden and unforeseen occurrences make it impossible to find out the exact cause of déjà vu. There are a few theories that have been put forth.Psychologist Dr. Akira O'Connor believes it occurs when the part of the brain that sends signals related to familiarity and memory doesn't work temporarily and sends them out of turn. Professor Anne Cleary thinks that it occurs when a person encounters something that is really familiar like the shape of a structure or the way a room is laid out. This causes the brain to believe that it has seen it all before, creating a sense of déjà vu.So the next time you experience that strange feeling of “already seen”，take a moment to reflect on one of these theories. Maybe you can help researchers find out the reason behind this phenomenon.13. What do we know，about the British patient's déjà vu?A. It is sudden and temporary.B. It has stopped him from studying.C. It has little effect on his life.D. It may be caused by his severe anxiety.14. Professor Anne Cleary's analysis of déjà vu is based on the fact that ________.A. some parts of people's brain don't work properlyB. human brains often send some signals out of turnC. people often have a bad memory for their experienceD. something people meet with causes illusions in their brain15. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph?A. We should learn to reflect on what we have experienced.B. We can help researchers develop another theory about déjàvu.C. We are able to give a hand in finding the reason for déjà vu.D. We may help a lot uncover the mysterious work of the human brain.16. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To report some studies about déjà vu.B. To seek some solutions to déjà vu.C. To call on people to fight against déjà vu.D.

A senior will be driving us, and I think she's a good driver, but it's someone my parents don't know. I want to tell my parents where I'm going, but what if I ask and they say “no”？I'll end up wishing I never mentioned it and just went ahead and did it anyway.If you want more privileges, it's best to build a track record of honesty and trust. Letting a parent know where you're going is always a good idea.You may worry that telling your parents puts you at risk of getting “no” for an answer.But there's a good chance your parentsmight be OK with you going. If you go but don't tell them, you risk losing something more important—your parents' trust.Parents who find out their kids did something behind their backs may be less likely to give permission to do things in the future. When trust is broken like this, parents wonder if teens are trying to hide something—and what they imagine can be far worse than the reality.Before you talk to your parents about the game, think about which approach will help them feel most comfortable with giving you more freedom. Maybe they'd like to meet the person driving or talk to friends who have driven with her in the past. If your parents have questions or hesitate about letting you go, find out what their worries are and then do your best to answer them.1.
