21、 There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of(不管) age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be sleepdeprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure(血压).
Why are so many people sleepdeprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as “lazy”. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep, they only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you'll do.
How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr.James Maas, an expert(专家) in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit(信用) card. When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don't sleep, the more hours you should sleep to ‘pay back’ the hours on your ‘sleep credit card’.”
For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said, “Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish(愚蠢的) idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.”
【1】According to the writer, the easiest and cheapest way to improve health is to ________.
A.eat healthy food every day B.take exercise as much as possible

A.an hour B.a report C.a credit card D.a piece of paper
【3】The underlined word “sleepdeprived” in the passage means “________”.
A.having a good sleep B.excited about sleep
C.having less sleep D.interested in sleeping
【4】What do the words of the famous person mean in Paragraph 5?
A.Sleeping during the night is foolish. B.Sleeping during the night is helpful.
C.People have no courage. D.People always do less work.
【5】What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Value of Sleep B.The Value of Study
C.The Ways of Eating Less D.The Ways of Making Money
22、American country music is also known as (被视为) country Western music. It has a very long history. It comes from the folk songs of immigrants(移民) from Britain.
Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness, love, and sadness. That is to say, country music describes life. It talks about friends and enemies, trucks and roads, farms and crops…People in many parts of the world like country music, because everyone can understand what the music is about.
Country Western music became popular first among cowboys(牛仔) in the American West countryside. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night. When they were alone with the cows, they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm__the__animals and to overcome their own fear. They were not welleducated(接受良好教育的), so they sang about their daily life in very simple words. They played the guitar, the violin, and other instruments. In the south of America, many people added instruments from their homes, like bottles and spoons. When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving, they usually sang and played country Western music.
In recent years, many musicians have made country Western music a little different from that in the past.These changes make the songs sound even better.Today singers such as Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett,Eddie Rabbitt, LeAnn Rimes, Randy Travis and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles.They have brought country Western music more and more fans from all over the world.

23、 What exactly is persuasion? Persuasion is a process that enables you to change others' attitudes, opinions, or behaviors. When you are watching TV, there are so many advertisements to persuade you to buy their products. When your naughty son does not like to write his homework, you will punish him, which is also a persuasion.
Persuasion is a very important skill nowadays. It is fulfilling everywhere, every time. In many ways, persuasion combines art and science. It's an art in that it requires the ability to establish trust and strong communication skills. It's a science in that it centers on the disciplined collection and analysis of information and solidly researched principles (原则) of human behavior. Persuasion is everywhere, but the effect is very different.
When we persuade, first we should be believable. If someone is an expert in a certain field, his or her speech will be convincing when he or she expresses opinions about this field. It is interesting that if someone's aim is not to affect your opinions, and he or she has no benefit from your decision, this person seems to be more trustful. What's more, we need to be attractive. If we like someone, we will be affected by him or her on some unimportant topics. Even if this person tells us he or she wants to affect, maybe we will also be affected.
The methods of persuasion are necessary too. First you should think wise for choosing your topic. A good topic is a big impact to catch your audience. Then when you have done selecting topics, now it's time to brainstorm how you will have a deep conversation with your audience to give them more ideas about your topics. And think about who your listener is and what they want to know. How will you catch their attention to become more interested in your subject? Next, understanding your audience can help you deliver the right information that is valuable to them. To get your audience, try to add some personal experience in your topics. The way you talk to them expresses your feelings and knowledge, and it really works.
Everyone is trying to persuade someone and being persuaded. So next time you listen to a speech, watch an advertisement, think of persuasion.
【1】In Paragraph 2, the writer thinks persuasion is an art because ________.
A.they both need skills to achieve B.they both have the same topic
C.they both make the audience laugh D.they both deliver the right information
【2】Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A.the meaning of persuasion B.the characteristics of persuaders
C.the importance of persuasion D.the methods of persuaders
【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Are Advertisements Worth Trusting? B.Persuasion -The Effects are Different
C.Are Good Topics Important for Persuasion? D.Persuasion -An Important Social Skill
24、For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold dry climates of the ice age, but until now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming. Nowadays, the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year; equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the U. K. each year. But how will the Amazon react to future climate change? If it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.
On the one hand, getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult. On the other hand, to study past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud. Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments (沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and planes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rives completely unsampled. So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.
【1】Scientists have been arguing about how the Amazon might have ________ the cold dry climates of the ice age.
A.changed in response to
B.destroyed
C.influenced
D.protected
【2】Rainforests are important for ________ CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming.
A.taking in

D.producing
【3】Nowadays, the CO2 the trees in the Amazon remove equals to the total amount of giving off in ________ each year.
A.the U.S.A.
B.the U.K.
C.England
D.Brazil
【4】Scientists research about how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past so that they may learn in advance about how the rainforests ________.
A.draw down CO2
B.still protect the soil
C.will get smaller
D.will manage in the future
【5】The way to go back to last ice age is to ________.
A.get into the forest
B.drill deep down into lake sediments
C.find some lake mud
D.look at fossilized pollen
【6】We may infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A.it’s possible to enter the Amazon through rivers to get enough information
B.so far, scientists have collected some information from the samples
C.it’s necessary to use helicopters for the research
D.there’s little information to study the past climate
25、Fill in the blanks with proper words.(在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词,首字母已给出。)
I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. Because of his great achievements, he was thought to be more creative than the average person. When he was asked w【1】 he was able to do this, he gave the answer. It all came from an e【2】 with his mother when he was about two years old. “I was trying to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I lost the bottle and it fell, spilling the milk all over the floor—a sea of milk! I was f【3】 and I didn’t know what to do!” he said.
His mother heard the noise and got into the kitchen. “I was considering how to e【4】 all this to her,” he said. Instead of punishing(惩罚)him, she said, “Robert, what a great mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge sea of milk before! Well, since the milk has a【5】 been spilled, would you like to play in the milk for a while? We can clean it up after that.”
Indeed, he did so. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, finally you have to clean it up.” He used a sponge(海绵)and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.
His mother then said, “You know, we failed in how to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands just now. Let’s go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water to see if you can f【6】 a way to carry it.” Then the little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it w【7】 dropping it.
What a wonderful lesson!
