21、You may know about “junk food” like French Fries. But do you know about “junk sleep”?

Recently, a British survey found that electronic products (电子产品) in teenagers’ bedrooms are affecting (影响) their sleep.

The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16. It found that 30 percent of them got just 4 to 7 hours of sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.

Almost a quarter of the kids said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products.

“This is very worrying,” said Dr.Chris Idzikowski, a British expert (专家). “We call it ‘junk sleep’. It means you don’t get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep is bad, too. If you don’t get good rest, you don’t perform well in school the next day.”

The survey found that 40 percent of the kids felt tired each day, with girls between 13 and 16 feeling the worst. Nearly all the teenagers have a phone, MP5 or TV in their bedroom. And many of them have all three.

【1】This passage is mainly about ________.

【2】________ of the children in the survey sleep only 4 to 7 hours a day.

B．300

C．500

D．1,000

22、

Indonesia is my mother’s homeland and one of my favorite countries. I had learned a lot about the country and become interested in it. For a long time I had wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering would be a good and fun way to do so.

I received the greatest pleasure from being with the children. Teaching my first English class in Aceh was exciting but I was rather stressful. As time passed by, I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was actually the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities. Many children were shy at first. But when they relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believed we were helping them build up their confidence.

For the children who are more in need, The Education Program (TEP) will collect donations(捐款) from the sponsors to help them. And as a volunteer, I had to visit the TEP children at home once a month and help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors. This was a way for the children to communicate with their sponsors. Sometimes the sponsors would write back to the children. Seeing the children’s happy faces, I had a great sense of pleasure.

【1】The writer believed volunteering would be a good way to ______.

A．do something for Indonesia

B．get the greatest pleasure

C．learn more about Indonesia

D．get along with others

【2】The writer felt ______ when he gave his first class.

A．relaxed

B．stressful

C．unhappy

D．enjoyable

【3】The underlined word “sponsors” means “______”.

A．people who lead others to do something

B．people who ask somebody to do something

C．people who have a lot of money

D．people who give others money for charity

【4】What do we know according to the passage?

A．I learned a lot from my experience as a volunteer.

B．I learned how to be a better teacher at first.

C．When I was young, I wanted to be a teacher.

D．The children there were easy to talk to.

23、

Dolphin therapy is good for children who have special problems. For example, children who cannot speak or move very well or children who cannot concentrate or remember things.

So what exactly can dolphin therapy help with? Dolphin therapy cannot solve problems like autism, but it can help children concentrate and talk better with other people. Dolphin therapy can’t take the place of other therapies that children have at home or at school. It is an extra activity.

How does it work? Scientists have discovered that there is a bridge between memory and affective experiences. Children have wonderful, affective experiences with dolphins and this helps them to remember things better.

Sometimes, children with special physical or mental problems do not feel confident. Contacting with dolphins gives children more confidence. Dolphins can get along well with children and so the children feel safe and good. When spending time with dolphins, children feel that they can do many things.

What do parents think of dolphin therapy? Here are some of their comments: “My son Tim has autism. After one year of dolphins therapy, he said, ‘This is the best day of my whole life!’” “My daughter Ann has problems with concentration, but when she is getting along with the dolphins she concentrates better.”

Last Saturday morning, on April 21st , we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park.

We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept 【1】(sing) and making jokes.
