【第⼀篇】I bought a jasmine plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom(开花) and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren?t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda. One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn?t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something. Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away. In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen. Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait.

They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food festival”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o'clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!Well, the point wasn't so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another's company.

In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means(意味着) a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.Why do people work so many hours?

Their experiments show how we sometimes just do not see what is in front of our eyes because 4Here is one of their most famous experiments. In this experiment, the participants (参与者) were shown a video of two groups of people (one group in white T-shirts and one group in black T-shirts) who passed basketballs around in a hallway. Each group had three members. Simons and Chabris asked the participants to count how many times the white team passed the ball.

Today, if a girl acts like she is better than everyone else, you might say she should get off her high horse.Yesterday my children wanted me to take them to the playground. But I had to finish my work, so I said, "Hold your horses. Wait until I finish what I am doing." My two boys like tocompete against each other and play in a noisy and not very careful way. I always tell them to stop horsing around or someone could get hurt.Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favourite TV show. I decided not to answer it because wild horses could not drag (拖，拽) me away from the television.

Let us say your teacher tells you there is going to be a test tomorrow.

Soon, his friend Ben Rogers appeared,eating an apple. Tom pretended (假装) not to see him."Tom!" Ben said. "Why are you working?""Oh, it's you, Ben," Tom said, "I didn't notice you. '"I'm going for a swim," Ben said, "but you don't want to come. You want to work, don't you?It's much nicer!" Ben laughed loudly. Tom looked seriously at Ben and said, "What is work?What do you call work?""Isn't that work?" Ben asked."Well, no. Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You've never painted a fence, have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care!""Please, Tom. Let me do a little," said Ben."No, Ben. If you do, you'll do it wrong. You can't paint very well. '"I won't do it wrong. I'll be really careful. I'll give you my apple." Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face, but in his heart he was glad. His trick had worked.After Ben got tired and left, other boys came along and Tom said the same things to them. Soon, the whole fence was painted white, but not by Tom.

I hadn't driven that type of van before. I let too much petrol into the engine. So I had to wait for twenty minutes. 2I drove to one house to deliver a sofa. There was a problem, though. When I looked in the back of the van, the sofa wasn't there. Then I remembered the boss had told me to collect the sofa from another shop. I'd forgotten to do that. I drove to the shop in the next town. 3 All the shops are closed on Monday afternoons. I would have to call again the next day instead.4When I arrived at the next house, I opened the doors of the van at the back. A heavy chair fell out onto my foot. Ooooooww! I jumped up and down the street on one leg. It was very painful! I was able to walk on one and a half feet up to the house with the chair.The afternoon was getting very hot. I hadn't eaten or drunk anything and didn't have any water in the car. When I went through the next town, I met a traffic jam. 5 Two hours later, I got to the last shop. It was 6'clock. What a bad day!(十七)You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years.

Passage 1The Art of the ElephantsIf your cat walked across something you were painting and left footprints behind, would you consider your cat an artist？What if your bird held a colored pencil in its beak（喙）and painted on a piece of paper? Most people may think of animal art as a joke, but some people have been taking it very seriously。

Elephants were used for hundreds of years in Thailand’s logging industry（伐木业)。

They moved wood from forests in areas where there were no roads. At the beginning of this century，when the forests of Thailand began to quickly disappear，the government put a stop to logging. All of a sudden, many elephants in Thailand no longer had a way to make a living.Some elephants were treated badly。

Others had to try to live on thei r own and couldn’t find enough food to eat。

There were once tens of thousands of elephants in Thailand. Today, there are less than five thousand。

Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, obviously it’s be cause we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply, the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains model after it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning (⾏使职责). However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave, communicate and spend time together. Indeed, it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein’s theory of relativity (相对论) was for physics. And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does – well, perh aps you’ll understand why.48. Mirror neurons can explain ______.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we catch a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else get up late49. The word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.A. set offB. cut offC. broken outD. found out50. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _______.A. relate to human behavior and communicationB. decide our knowledge and language abilitiesC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. control human actions and appearances51.

Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail(细节) of all the events in her daily life.Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been indentified(确定) as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM，超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event—which most people would forget within(在……以内) days—as if it had happened just minutes ago.“I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old，”she said. “That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that very day, what the weather was like and so on.”Rebecca can also re­experience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory willbe so strong that she can nearly “taste” it.However, sometimes her memories prove(证明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings return, too，” Rebecca said.“For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”“At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on，”she added. “If it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep.”( )1.

Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from?The answer shows Clemens' colourful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms(6 feet)deep. “Twain” is an old­fashioned way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883)．The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading andthinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today：The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its follow­up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”．The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.( )1. What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage?A. Twain's talent for self­teaching.B. Twain's “local colour” writing style.C. Twain's good sense of humour.D. Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.( )2. According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?A. The deep social meaning.B. The exciting life experiences.C. The special way that Huck talks.D. The nice view of the Mississippi.( )3.

At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5.( )4. What is the passage mainly about?A. Mark Twain's career as a great writer.B. Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.C. Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field.D. Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing.Passage 7(2018南京)Rachel Carson(1907­1964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. ln 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a giftedwriter. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.( )1. What happened to Rachel Carson in 1962?A.

阅读理解（一）APeople in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars. The city is very large, and its public transportation is slow. So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.Devon Fitzgerald say s he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. ―A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety.‖ Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. ―It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking.‖Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident. "To make bicycling safer, some people who live and work near each other are riding to work together, which they call a "bike train". Nona Varnado helped create the group L. A. Bike Trains. "You're in a big group. If you're afraid of riding alone, you can now ride with experienced riders. " Nona said that people would feel safer by riding together in a group.1. People in Los Angeles are known for their love of_________.A. carsB. busesC. subwaysD. bicycles2.

From the passage we know that_________.A. riding in a ―bike train‖ can help people feel saferB. Devon Fitzgerald helped to create L. A. Bike TrainsC. Roger Rosas prefers riding a bike to driving a carD. people can easily get into an accident when riding togetherBI still remembered my first day of second grade. I was led to a room. No teacher yet. Girls talking. Boys trying to kill each other.I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.―What're you doing?‖ she said.―Writing to 100,‖ I replied.―Is that you can do?‖―No,‖ I said.Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener. I had no idea that when I stood, the desk would fall over and hurt her leg.Her name was Jane. From that day on--she was my best friend. Wherever we went--to school or church or basketball games, Jane saved me a seat or I saved one for her.Many years later, after college, I moved to California and married. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50 years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.TV ads try to tell us what children need for school—new shoes, clothes, backpacks. But really, children's needs are simple. Besides the basics—to be fed, cared for, and loved—they need the gift of friendship.For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I finally understood. I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and received a prize for ―Friendship‖.

Unfortunately, Dad became ill and soon was out of a job. I was only 8 years old and my younger brother, Buddy was 7. After school we went to pick coal(煤) that fell from the coal train along the railroad near our home. When the train slowed down, we ran alongside it. After the train passed, we picked up the fallen coal.One day, the train stopped for a short time unusually. My brother and I were digging around in the snow when the train's fireman came to the window and shouted to us, ―Why are you boys digging in the snow? Are you looking for gold?‖ he laughed.―No, sir,‖ I replied, ―We are finding coal.‖―Why doesn't your daddy buy coal? It's really dangerous here.‖―Our daddy is very sick and we have no money to buy food and coal,‖ I answered.The fire man turned and went inside. After a moment, he shouted again. ―Hey! Bring that coal bucket(桶子) here. I got something for you.‖ Then the fireman filled our bucket with clean coal. We were happy with his gift, and we knew we could go home early that day.He smiled the kindest and warmest smile I had ever seen. ―You two boys come here the day after tomorrow and I'll throw off some coal.‖Two days later, Buddy and I stood by the railroads as the train slowed down. The fireman waved to us, then disappeared. Suddenly, some coal and a piece of red cloth came out. In the red cloth were two pieces of bubble gum(泡泡糖) and a new one-dollar bill.All that winter, three days a week, we received a bucket of coal, a gift and, sometimes, money.I never knew the person's full name, but to our family, he was a guardian angel.9.

The writer wrote the story mainly to____________.A. tell us to be hopeful in times of difficulty, no matter how bad it isB. remember a difficult time during his childhoodC. show a little kindness can make a great difference to people in needD. show how he and his brother helped his family out（二）Dear Sir or Madam.One of the teachers at my school in New York tells me that your school has summer course. I am planning to go to Beijing next summer and would like to take a short one-month course.I am 18 years old and have been studying Chinese for six years. I was born in the USA and have never been to China before. I am going to study Chinese at the university. I think the course will help me improve my Chinese.Could you send me a catalogue(目录) and application form (申请表)? I would also like information about Beijing and other places nearby. I hope to do some travelling when the course is over.Thank you! I am looking forward to your replyVery truly yours,Jim Green1. Jim Green is a student from_______. .A. AmericaB. ChinaC. CanadaD. Australia2. He was twelve yearsold when he started to_______.A. go to schoolB. learn ChineseC. study in ChinaD. travel in Beijing3. How many times has he been to China before?A. Once.B. Twice.C.

He will probably____ after the summer course.A. graduate from universityB. work in this schoolC. take a trip in BeijingD. post his application formMany kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes.In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.But some people don't think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. ―Running any kind of housework is a team effort,‖ Walton said. ―A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.‖Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. ―Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,‖ says Chris Bergman. ―And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ‖6. Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. Washing the dishes.B. Cooking meals.C. Folding the clothes.D. Making the bed.7.

Doing Housework Is Good for Children's StudyCLast summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijng, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations(代).Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see.11. How long is the history of the Forbidden City?A. About 600 years.B. More than 600 years.C. 1,420 years.D. Over 10,000 years.12.

Not only is she a high school student, but she has also set up her own organization, Beary Merry Christmas. She volunteers（自愿）to serve poor kids and families in Orange Country in California, US.To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago, Fredette decided to serve those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is.She began with the simple idea of collecting donated(捐赠的)Build-A-Bears,the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores' workshops. Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season.With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers host activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things.Not wanting to limit（限制）the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette now hosts other activities for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Halloween, providing the chance for her volunteerteam to make a difference through the year.―I love making relationships with the people I serve,‖ Fredette said. ―The thanks they have, hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are, it's so cool.‖Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing aself-development class for students in her school who will soon attend college.Heading to college herself in the fall, Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out i n her hometown. In fact, she was regarded as a ―Dreamer & Doer‖ not long ago for her work in improving her community, along with 32 other high school students.4.

It can be inferred（推断）that Fredette .A. likes telling people storiesB. dreams of being a teacherC. is pleased with what she doesD. plans to leave California for college7. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Giving back to societyB. Getting on well with othersC. Providing a food bankD. Improving community collegesCMore Chinese universities are opening their libraries to the public, allowing people to enjoy reading during normal time and the vacations.But for some students, including Wang Ling, 21, in Sun Yat-sen University, this practice has caused headaches. ―Members of the public come to our libraries more for sightseeing than reading,‖ said Wang.―They sometimes even b ring their kids along, and take photos as if it were a place of interest.‖Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times. Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China.However, this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public. They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors' rude behavior.Chen Jie, 18, a student in Tongji University, is one who would be against opening to the publ ic. ―I have been to a public library before. People were chatting loudly or speaking on cell phone so you can hardly read,‖ Chen said. She notices teachers doing serious reading and feels their concentration（专注）has influenced her. ―If too many strangers st ay here, the whole library will be a noisy place and it's difficult for us to study quietly,‖ she said.Will there be alternative（可替代的）ways to share those libraries? Some experts consider that university libraries can prevent the public from entering certa in areas. ―We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students,‖ said Zhu Lina, library director in Jinan University.Working together with the community library is another solution. ―It's possible that a member of the public can order a book in our library over the Internet,‖ Ge Jianxiong, the library director in Fudan University said. ―We'll send it to a public libraries close to their home.‖8. We can see from the passage that Wang Ling .A. hates to study in the libraryB. prefers sightseeing to readingC. feels good to play with kidsD. is a university student aged 219. In Chen Jie's opinion, visitors to university libraries may .A. take up too much spaceB. break the peace thereC. make teachers relaxedD. get students to read more10. The writer mentions two libraries directors' words to help explain how to .A. manage libraries onlineB. keep the public politeC. share university librariesD. do scientific research11. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A newspaper.B. A library guide.C. A story book.D. A notice board.DHave you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.So how? The cars have sensors（感应器）all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems（卫星导航系统）are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.Sound like your idea of heaven（天堂）? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‗driving' would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical（道德的）decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I'd miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car – but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.12. When using a driverless car, you need only .A. read the road signs carefullyB. check the camerasC. put the address into the computerD. remember the directions13. The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars.A. instructionsB. standardsC. advantagesD. tests14. The underlined word ―potentially‖ in Paragraph 4 means ――.A. possiblyB. successfullyC. especiallyD. naturally15. What's the writer's opinion about future driverless cars?A. They'll cause more accidents.B. They'll be less expensive.C. They'll use less energy.D. They'll run much faster.（四）ALast year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service（社区服务）.Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, ―Why are you here?‖ I did not know how to answer the question.The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.A teacher stopped this awkward（尴尬的）silence when she shouted at the boy. ―What are you doing right here, right now?‖ she said. ―You w ill never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!‖ ―Sorry,‖ he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about t his child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child's parents.She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the supportfrom the teachers and community service workers like us.I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children's hearts, making them know they are loved by people.1. How did the writer reach Beijing Qizhi Special Education School?A. By train.B. By car.C. By bus. C. By taxi.2. Why did the writer get angry?A. Because a boy held the writer's hands.B. Because the writer did not like to taste nature.C. Because a boy pushed the writer to the ground.D. Because a boy was impolite to the writer.3. The boy acted differently from others because _______.A. he was sickB. his parents didn't like himC. he was nervous and fearfulD. he always lived with teachers4. The underlined word ―abandoned‖ most probably means ―_______‖.A. hurtB. leftC. soldD. forgotten5. From the passage we can learn that the writer __________.A. helped so many people in the worldB. played with the lonely boy after lunchC. learned the meaning of community serviceD. wasn't good at answering the questions about community serviceBThe Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6,500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices（香料）,cloth, valuable stones and gold.There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers（士兵）travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures andcountries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes（路线）are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.6. How many kilometers did the Silk Road cover?A. About 3,000.B. Nearly 6,500.C. Almost 2,000.D. Over 35,000.7. Traders carried all kinds of goods along the Silk Road. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Silk.B. Cloth.C. Gold.D. Tea.8. Who married ancient Chinese women in the story of blue-eyed villages of China?A. Asian soldiers.B. African soldiers.C. European soldiers.D. American soldiers.9. What can we infer（推断）from the passage?A. Valuable things could not be sold along the Silk Road.B. The Silk Road allowed people from different countries to mix.C. Ancient Chinese along the Silk Road may be able to speak different languages.D. The objects in the museum in Jiuquan in China are from all along the Silk Road.10. Which part of a magazine can this passage come from?A. History and Geography.B. Sports World.C. Man and Animals.D. Popular Science.CWe often face the following situations in our daily life:●The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o'clock at night.●The family across the street never cleans up their yard. The rubbish blows into youryard.●The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive.。

中考题阅读理解___题组训练1_[名著阅读]A[2017·宿迁]Emily and Anne did know, of course. They had known about Charlotte's book for a long time. Jane Eyre was not the first book that Charlotte had sent to a publisher. Over a year ago she had written another book, The Professor, and sent it to one publisher after another. Each publisher had sent it back, in a packet addressed to Currer Bell. And then Charlotte had sent it, in the same old packet, to another publisher, and then another, and got it back again.“Why didn't you change the paper on the packet, my dear？” I asked.Charlotte smiled. “I didn't think of it, papa. The worst day was when we were in Manchester, going to the eye doctor. Do you remember? The packet came back then. That was the day before I started writing Jane Eyre.”“Do you mean that you started writing Jane Eyre while I was lying in the dark room in Manchester？”“That's right, papa.”“But that's only six months ago, and here is the book in my hand！”“Yes, papa. The book was printed a month later after I sent it to the publisher.”“My dear! They decided very quickly that they liked it, then！”“I think they did, papa. After all, it is a good book, isn't it？”She smiled at me. I don't think I have ever seen her so happy. She is a very small person, Charlotte, and not a beautiful woman; but when she smiles like that, her face shines like a fine painting. My wife used to look like that sometimes when I first met her.I took her hand in mine. “It is a very good book, my dear. I cannot tell you how proud I am.”She touched my hand. “Thank you, papa. But you must not be proud of me alone. You know, another two of your daughters—Anne and Emily…”“Oh no, Charlotte, please！” Emily said.But Charlotte did not stop. “Anne and Emily have written good books too, and their books will soon be published as well! Let me introduce them to you, papa. These young ladies—Anne and Emily, are “not”your daughters—they are separately Acton Bell and Ellis Bell, brothers of the famous writer Currer Bell！”Emily's face was bright red, but Anne and Charlotte started laughing. I was very surprised.“All three of you！” I said. “But…but why do you use these strange names？”“Because people are stupid, papa.”Anne said. “No one thinks women can write good books, so we have used men's names. And now they say that Currer Bell is a writer who understands women very well！” She laughed again.()1.Why didn't Charlotte change the paper on the packet?A．Because she hated to change the paper.B．Because she liked the paper very much.C．Because she had no money to buy the paper.D．Because she didn't think of changing the paper.()2.Which is the right time order of what happened in the story?a.

And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea.“Where can we look for treasure？” asked Huck.“It's hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted(闹鬼的) houses.”So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place, which made the boys feel very frightened. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.“What is it？” whispered Huck, going white with fright.“Keep quiet! There's someone downstairs.”The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and unpleasant-looking.Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Indian Joe. He said：“It's time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery(抢劫)？”“Let's keep $30 each and leave the bag here.”The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs.Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something.“What is it？” asked the other man.“It's a box，”said Indian Joe. And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins.

He looked at the gold and silver. “The world is tricked by appearances，”he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are cowards(懦夫). I don't want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver.

One of the most hard­hit groups in China were university users.Many students' graduation papers were locked.They felt nervous and frightened.Also many gas stations were seriously hit, and the payment system didn't work.WannaCry is the latest example of cyber security(网络安全) problem.Matthew Hickey(who set up the security company Hacker House) said, “The attack is not surprising.It shows that many organizations do not use updates(更新) fast enough.”According to a survey, nearly half of the people said, “We are not satisfied with the way software updates work.”As China Daily wrote, “We can't completely protect our computers against these kinds of viruses, as this cat and mouse game will continue forever.The best choice for most users is to take care online and always install(安装) software updates.”()1.If your papers are locked by WannaCry, how much do you need to pay to unlock them at first?A．$ 150.

When Theodore Roosevelt(罗斯福) was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened the “Roosevelt Museum of Natural History”. The museum was in Theodore's bedroom. It had a total of 12 specimens(标本). On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some birds' nests. Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly, delicate boy，”he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma(哮喘). He often found it hard to breathe.Instead of playing, he observed(观察) nature and then read and wrote about it.Roosevelt's interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She ordered him to throw them out. This wasindeed “a loss to science”，Roosevelt said later.Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father urged him to improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn't become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life's challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And finally his body did get strong. As an adult, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures and loved outdoors.In 1900, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President. A year later, President McKinley was shot and killed. Roosevelt became the 26th president of the USA.At 42, he was the youngest leader the country had ever had.()1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A．Roosevelt's museum had 12 specimens.B．Roosevelt had two cousins.C．Roosevelt was a brave man.D．Roosevelt had a small museum as a boy.()2.Which of the following tells about Roosevelt as a boy?A．He liked playing outdoors sports.B．He became the President in 1901.C．He was interested in observing nature.D．He was a healthy person full of energy.()3.It can be inferred(推断) that________．A．Roosevelt's mother liked mice B．Roosevelt followed his father's advice C．everyone with asthma is small and weak D．working out in a gym is a waste of time()4.In which book might you find this passage?A．Improving Your Body.B．Living with Asthma.C．Small Museums of Natural History.D．The Childhoods of America's Presidents._题组训练3_[常规类阅读]A[2017·绍兴]Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer­driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near panies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.So how? The cars have sensors(感应器) all around which can find other cars and objects in the road.Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems(卫星导航系统) are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.Sound like your idea of heaven(天堂)? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving’ would be possible with this new technology.You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going.In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people—they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.However, there are many drawbacks of driverless puters would have difficulties making ethical (道德的) decisions: If a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun—I'd miss never driving a car myself.There would also be many other decisions to be made—should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car—but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.()1.When using a driverless car, you need only ________．A．read the road signs carefullyB．check the camerasC．put the address into the computerD．remember the directions()2.The third paragraph mainly tells us about the ________ of driverless cars.A．instructions B．standardsC．advantages D．tests()3.The underlined word “potentially”in Paragraph 4 means ________．A．possibly B．successfullyC．especially D．naturally()4.What's the writer's opinion about future driverless cars?A．They'll cause more accidents.B．They'll be less expensive.C．They'll use less energy.D．They'll run much faster.B[2017·来宾]Teenager Tony was skiing(滑雪) with his family in the USA when he fell over and lost one of his skis(滑雪板)．His family didn't know that he had a problem.They kept on skiing.When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Tony.Tony couldn't find his ski anywhere.In the end, he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain.But he couldn't work out the right way to go.It was now getting dark and it was far from any place of safety.He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures.But he kept calm.At home, Tony watched many TV programmes about living in difficult situations.He remembered the advice from these programmes and knew he should build a hole in the snow.He made a hole and pointed it upthe hill so the wind couldn't blow into it.Outside it was very cold, but inside Tony was safe from the cold.But he had to get down the mountain.The TV programmes always said, “If you are lost, you should find someone else's tracks(轨迹) through the snow and follow them.” So Tony found some ski tracks and followed them.Finally, he found some workers who came to save him.He was safe!

2018中考英语阅读理解专项训练及参考答案（名师出题考前专项训练+答案解析，建议考生下载练习）1Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn （打哈欠）and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, obviously it's because we have mirror neurons （神经元）in our brains・Put simply, the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains model after it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports・ But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people・Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to （for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”），the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed （in this example, actually taking hold of a ball）.Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning （彳亍使职责）. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave, communicate and spend time together. Indeed, it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein's theory of relativity （相对论）was for physics・ And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does 一well, perhaps you'll understand why.4& Mirror neurons can explain _____ ・A.why we cry when we are hurtB.why we cough when we catch a coldC・ why wc smile when wc see someone else smileD・ why we yawn when we see someone else get up late49.

（请注明问题后的字数要求）[1] I’m a 34-year-old man, married, lived in a nice house, and have a successful career. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra (额外的) help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.[2] My life improved greatly when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went toa workshop and gradually became good at making things with clay. Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence（⾃信）came along.[3] I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. （68）I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it needed lots of practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it. [4] Later I decided to learn (69) ① to read and write. I practiced readingand(69)② , which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two years, I was literate(有⽂化的).[5] Through the long process with art, (69) ③, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life: I am smart enough to dive into (潜⼊) an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.46.

He knew the owner of the ball must be nearby and wished to get it back. He went downstairs and walked to the playground. It was at the center of the playground that he placed the ball with a piece of paper, on which he wrote “Be careful next time！”.

He had never acted on stage(舞台)before, and he was very excited. But some students laughed at him. “You are not funny but silly，” Ken, one of his classmates, said to his face. “No one will like what you do，” another boy also said to him, loudly.Brian couldn't understand why they were so unkind to him.

Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail(细节) of all the events in her daily life.Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been indentified(确定) as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM，超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event—which mostpeople would forget within(在……以内) days—as if it had happened just minutes ago.“I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old，”she said. “That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that very day, what the weather was like and so on.”Rebecca can also re­experience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly “taste” it.However, sometimes her memories prove(证明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. “When I relive(再体验) memories, the feelings return, too，” Rebecca said.“For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee.”“At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on，”she added. “If it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep.”【】1、Which is NOT TRUE about Rebecca?A、She has special memories.B、She is from Australia.C、She is 25 years old.D、She can remember every detail of all the events.【】2、What happened to Rebecca on the day when she was 3 years old?A、She was identified as having HSAM.B、Her mother put her in a car and took a picture of her.C、She started to understand calendars.D、She hurt her left knee at her grandparents'.【】3、Whenever she is reliving her memories, ________．A、she is happyB、she experiences the feelings againC、she feels pain in her kneesD、she can taste her favorite food【】4、What is the result of having HSAM?A、She can remember every event in her daily life.B、She can re­experience taste.C、She can relive feelings.D、All the above.【】5、From the passage, we can infer(推断)that________．A、HSAM can do her good, but it also brings her painB、she feels painful if she recalls her experiencesC、she can fall asleep while she is re­experiencing memoriesD、HSAM can greatly improve her living conditionsPassage 5Carlton Joseph is a fashion designer(服装设计师), but not just any fashion designer. He appears on television, he writes books, and he owns his own fashion house.Born in 1980, Carlton started designing clothes when he was eleven. His father owned a clothes store, and Carlton used to work there at the weekend. Then he did a design course at college.When he was 21, someone suggested doing a TV program. He made his first show “Carlton's Clothes” in 2004, and he wrote his first book in the same year. Since then he has written four more. Carlton got married to TV producer Susan Mills in 2005.Three months ago, Carlton started his new company. He called it “Design: Carlton”．At work Carlton always wears black trousers and a black coat, but at home, or when he goes out, he wears clothes with bright colors(red, blue and yellow). He is especially crazy about new glasses, he buys a new pair every few weeks. “I liketo look different every day，” he says.Carlton started wearing glasses when he was twelve. He dyed(给……染色) his hair red when he was 18. It is still red, and this year, for the first time, he has grown a beard. “My wife likes it,_that's why” is his explanation. But his beard is black!【】1、How old was Carlton when he wrote his first book?A、11.B、21.C、24.D、25.【】2、What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A、Carlton's hair.B、Carlton's beard.C、Carlton's coat.D、Carlton's company.【】3、What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?A、Carlton likes to look different.B、Carlton is a hardworking person.C、Carlton is crazy about new glasses.D、Carlton loves wearing colorful clothes.【】4、Which of the following is true according to the passage?A、Carlton is just a common fashion designer.B、Carlton started his new fashion company in 2005.C、Carlton made his first show after he got married to Susan.D、Carlton got some design experience before going to college.Passage 6This year the US will honour(纪念) one of the country's most famous writers—Mark Twain(1835­1910). Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from?The answer shows Clemens' colourful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms(6 feet)deep. “Twain” is an old­fashioned way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883)．The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today：The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876) and its follow­up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”．The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.【】1、What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage?A、Twain's talent for self­teaching.B、Twain's “local colour” writing style.C、Twain's good sense of humour.D、Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.【】2、According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?A、The deep social meaning.B、The exciting life experiences.C、The special way that Huck talks.D、The nice view of the Mississippi.【】3、Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence, “Twain did not come from the writer's background you might expect.”?A、At the beginning of Paragraph 2.B、At the beginning of Paragraph 3.C、At the beginning of Paragraph 4.D、At the beginning of Paragraph 5.【】4、What is the passage mainly about?A、Mark Twain's career as a great writer.B、Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.C、Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field.D、Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing.Passage 7Rachel Carson(1907­1964) was a pioneer of the world's environmental movement through her writing about the protection of the natural world. Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic(有害的) chemicals on farmland.Carson's career started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. ln 1951 she published her first book, The Sea Around Us, which became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and devote her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson's book Silent Spring completely changed the way America thought about nature. It painted a bleak(荒凉的) future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban(禁止) on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic pesticides(农药) that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Book Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in America.【】1、What happened to Rachel Carson in 1962?A、She started to write books.B、She gave up working as a biologist.C、Her book The Sea Around Us sold well.D、Her book Silent Spring made her famous.【】2、What most probably made Rachel Carson leave her job?A、She got an award.B、She published Silent Spring.C、The Sea Around Us brought her enough money.D、The US government took notice of her researches.【】3、Why is the book Silent Spring important to America's environmental protection?A、It describes a silent spring.B、It topped the book sales lists.C、It changed how America thought about nature.D、It includes all Carson's research achievements.【】4、What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 mean?A、The book Silent Spring.B、The way America thought.C、The US Bureau of Fisheries.D、America's Environmental Protection Agency.【】5、Why was Rachel Carson awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom?A、She published the book Silent Spring.B、She did a lot of researches for the US Bureau of Fisheries.C、She donated much money to the Rachel Carson Book Prize.D、She made great contributions to the environmental protection.【参考答案】专项训练一人物故事Passage 1【主旨大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

2018年中考英语全国各地试卷汇编专题：任务型阅读（含答案和解析(2018江苏扬州)五、任务型阅读Beyond its influence on health, not getting enough sleep can lead to car accidents or other mistakes. Here are what sleep researchers have found about how to sleep. How much sleep do we actually need? It is known that all of us naturally need no less than eight hours of sleep per night. When we sleep below six hours per 24, we’re at an increased risk of health problems. Some of us think we can make up any of those hours lost during the week on the weekends. Sadly, there is no storage system for sleep in the brain. Can we train ourselves to need less sleep? As a study in 1964, a 17-year-old boy named Randy Garden stayed awake for 264 hours. How many people could doanything close to that without dying? When you are reading this, you might say you usually get six hours of sleep and feel just fine. Sleep experts often compare people without enough sleep to drunk drivers: They don’t get behind the wheel thinking they’re probably going to kill someone. Can we drink coffee instead of sleeping? Coffee can keep us awake. Remember, too much coffee may throw off our sleep and energy cycles. So limit coffee and avoid caffeine for hour to six hours before bedtime. Does a sense of purpose connect to sleep quality?A new research suggests a kind of strong connection between purpose in life and sleep. People who have a greater sense of purpose usually have better physical and mental health, which in turn explains their higher-quality sleep. Perhaps developing a sense of purpose in life could be as useful at improving sleep as the healthy habitsabove.
