21、Let’ do some sleep math. You lost two hours of sleep every night last week because of a big project due on Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, you slept in, getting four extra hours. On Monday morning, you were feeling so bright-eyed, and you only had one cup of coffee, instead of your usual two. But dons’ be cheated by your energy: You’re still carrying around a heavy load of sleepiness, or what experts call “sleep debt” - in this case something like six hours, almost a full night’s sleep.

Sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you should be getting and the amount you actually get. It’s a deficit（缺乏）that grows every time we skim some extra minutes off our nightly sleep. “People accumulate（积累）sleep debt gradually without being noticed,” says William C. Decent, founder of the Stanford University Sleep Research Center. Studies show that such short-term lack of sleep leads to a foggy brain, worsened vision, and trouble remembering. Long-term effects include obesity（肥胖）and heart disease.A survey by the National Sleep Foundation reports that we’re losing one hour of sleep each night---more than two full weeks of sleep every year.

The good news is that, like all debts, with some work, sleep debt can be repaid. Adding an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to catch up on sleep debt. For the long-term lack of sleep, take it easy for a few months to get back into a natural sleep pattern. Go to bed when you are tired, and allow your body to wake you in the morning (no alarm clock allowed). You may find yourself catatonic（有紧张感的）in the beginning of the recovery cycle: expect to have ten hours shut-eye per night. As the days pass, however, the amount of sleeping time will gradually decrease.

So earn back that lost sleep---and follow the orders of your inner sleep needs, and you’ll feel better. “When you put away sleep debt, you become a superman,” says Stanford’s Dement, talking about the improved mental and physical abilities that come with being well rested.

【1】The example of sleep math is used to show___________

A．in what case you build up a sleep debt

B．why you need six hours sleep every night

C．why you are full of energy even when you don’t have enough sleep

D．in what case you should drink coffee to keep energetic

【2】The author begins Paragraph 2 with___________

A．an example

B．a definition（定义）

C．an argument

D．a discussion

【3】By saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph. Dement means__________

A．you can get enough sleep with the superman’s help

B．you can achieve your goals with a sleep debt

C．you will be clever if you accumulate sleep debt

D．You will be in a good state with enough sleep

【4】What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A．How can you keep energetic?

B．Can you have a good sleep?

C．What is sleep debt?

D．Can you catch up on lost sleep?

22、Craig Blackburn, a father and car fan, built a Batmobile for his son’s hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children. And now he hopes to use it for more than just his son’s hope after seeing the children’s reaction to the Batmobile.

Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups, he estimated that only about one in 50 attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.

Mr. Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing. It started with importing an outer shell overseas, before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car. With the help of his friend, Mr. Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.

Mr. Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight. Though Mr. Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction, in September 2019, the car made its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba, before being used by Blackburn’s son for his hope.

“It was great. It was so good to see the kids’ and adults’ excitement at seeing the Batmobile.” Mr. Blackburn said. As a result, the car lovers hope to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible, so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.

【1】What is Craig Blackburn’s initial purpose of constructing the Batmobile?

A．To realise his son’s dream.

B．To donate it to sick children.

C．To pay his respects to the film Dark Knight.

D．To show off at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba.

【2】How did Blackburn feel about the car-making?

A．Hopeful and interesting.

B．Unimaginable yet meaningful.

C．Impossible and boring.

D．Challenging yet worth-trying.

【3】How did Blackburn’s friend help him?

A．By making an outer shell for him.

B．By sharing the knowledge of building cars.

C．By offering him financial support.

D．By telling him the background of the car factory.

【4】What is the car lovers’ expectation of the Batmobile?

A．It will be put to practical use soon.

B．It can be displayed around the world.

C．It can change the lives of sick children.

D．It will appear in the next film about Batman.

23、There are certain things that can only be learned through experiences. The benefit of having a mentor (导师) is one of the best examples. 【1】 For the first time, I had someone not telling me what to do but helping me look at my options and finding an answer.

Through the Pearson Scholarship for Higher Education, I met my mentor, Lindsey Erlick. She wasn’t so stubborn as I had thought. 【2】 Instead of only talking about her experiences, she wanted to understand why I looked at things the way I did. Helping my mentor understand my perspective helped me better understand myself. This mentorship experience proved to me there is so much about me I never knew.

【3】 Growing up I was often taught to pursue things with a reward in mind. Moving away from the reward and trying things for the experience helped me to better understand what I really wanted to do with my life. I never knew how much potential I had until I was pushed to my limits. There were so many experiences I was passing up just because I was shy.

When my mentor shared her struggles, I think I realized how similar we really are. She battled stage fright just like me and seeing how she overcomes it every day in her job gave me the confidence that I could do it, too. 【4】

I realized that I loved being the change I wanted to see. My shyness melted away and I have confidence in voicing my beliefs. 【5】 I joined various non - profit organizations that focused on helping the people in the community.

A．A mentoring relationship is valuable.

B．She was a very understanding person.

C．Communicating with others became a passion.

D．My experience as a learner was a key moment in my life.

E．I noticed my confidence brought about a sea of opportunities.

F．I gained opportunities to interact with my experienced mentor.

G．My mentor often challenged me to find things I was passionate about.

24、Well, to pick up where we left off last time. I’m certain that you know all too well the dangers hiding on the World Wide Web. And whether it’s for schoolwork, entertainment, or just socializing with friends, the Internet will surely be a major part of your child’s life. So, it’s important to secure their online stays.

It’s not the easiest thing, but keeping open lines of communication is primary. Let them know they can share their online activities with you. Talk to them about their online presence as early as possible, ideally before they begin to use email, social media, or a smartphone. Discuss what they find interesting online and learning from them about popular websites and apps; this will create understanding and allow you to identify potential risks.

Next, monitor without spying. Most kids learn to understand boundaries, like respecting others’ personal space, or not opening the cookie jar without asking. Internet use is no different. It’s helpful for kids to have ground rules as to which websites they can visit,which apps they can use, and what they can share online. Remind them that if they feel uneasy with anything that occurs online, they need to alert an adult immediately.

How you handle your kids’ internet usage will depend in large part on their age. There are sites and browsing tools meant for younger kids, such as YouTube Kids,which aims to provide a safe online experience for children.Older kids may be allowed more freedom since they want to network and need to use the internet for information-gathering. But you can set boundaries that feel right for you. Just limit access appropriately.

Allowing your children to make good decisions online teaches them responsibility, shows that you trust them, and reminds them that rules may be tightened if they disobey them. Stay tuned.
