27、An upset little boy wanted to meet God. He thought it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack of root beer and started his journey.

When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman sitting on a park bench alone. The boy sat next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to drink his root beer when he thought that the old lady might be hungry, so he offered her some chips. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root beer. Again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling.

As dusk fell, the boy got up to leave; but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door to his own house, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, “What did you do today that made you so happy?” He replied, “I had lunch with God”

Meanwhile, the old woman, also returned to her home with joy. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked, “Mom, what did you do today that made you so happy?” She replied, “I ate potato chips with God.”

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

28、How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of stars.

But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won’t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year. That’s because they are invisible (看不见的). They’re the mysterious dead stars called black holes.

You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn’t seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.

As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gases run out, the star stops burning and begins to die.

As the star cools, the outer parts of the star pull in toward the center. The star is squashed (挤压) into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball. If the star was very big, it keeps being squashed inward until it’s packed together tighter than anything in the universe.

Imagine if the Earth collapsed until it was the size of a tiny marble (玻璃球). That’s how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It is the same force that pulls you down when you jump — the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity absorbs everything — even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That’s why you see nothing but blackness.

So the next time, you look up at the night sky, remember: there’s more in the sky than what meets the eye! Scattered (散落) in the silent darkness are black holes — the great mystery of space.

【1】What might happen after a star dies?

A．The star might become a black hole.

B．The Earth might be hit by the star.

C．The sky might become much darker.

D．The gravity might totally disappear.

【2】What causes a star to die?

A．Its gases run out.

B．It hits other stars.

C．It gets too hot.

D．Its light fades away.

【3】What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 6 probably mean?

A．Folded.

B．Crashed.

C．Orbited.

D．Marched.

【4】Why are people unable to see light from a black hole?

A．Most black holes are too far away.

B．We don’t have a powerful enough telescope.

C．Black holes can travel as fast as light.

D．Light can not escape a black hole’s gravity.

29、 Sleep is a basic human need, as basic as the need for oxygen. Getting a good night’s sleep is not only directly related to how we feel the next day, but to our long-term health as well. However, many of us suffer from insomnia (失眠). Even more of us report at least one night of restless sleep per week. This is a serious problem.

Well, how can we make sure that we rest well and stay healthy? Here are some suggestions.

If you can’t sleep in the middle of the night, don’t get up. The bright light will affect your body clock and worsen your insomnia. Stay in bed!

Avoid short sleep during the day, except for a brief ten to fifteen-minute sleep between 2:00 and 4:00 P.M.

Limit your time in bed to the average number of hours you’ve actually slept per night last week. Don’t try to make up for lost sleep. It can’t be done.

Get regular exercise each day, but finish at least six hours before bedtime. Exercising in the evening can help keep you awake.

Take a hot bath for thirty minutes within two hours of bedtime. The bath will warm you, relax you, and make you feel sleepy.

Keep our bedroom dark, quiet, and well ventilated (通风).

Keep a regular schedule seven days a week. Avoid sleeping late on weekends. Although it may feel good while you’re doing it, sleeping late on weekend can lead to insomnia during the week.

Don’t drink alcohol (酒精). Although, having a drink before bed makes you sleep, alcohol loses its effects after a while. The secondary effects of alcohol can wake you up during the second half of your night’s sleep.

Keep the face of the clock in your bedroom turned away, and don’t find out what time it is when you awaken in the night.

【1】The first paragraph serves as a(n) __________.

A. argument B. introduction

C.  comment   D. explanation

【2】 Which of the following is NOT advised for a good night’s sleep?

A. Staying in bed after failing to sleep.

B. Don’t exercise six hours before sleeping

C. Don’t drink alcohol before sleeping.

D. Preventing the wind from blowing into your room.

【3】 To sleep well, you need to __________.

A. get up late on weekends

B. sleep during the day sometimes

C. avoid looking at your clock

D. have a bath in the morning

【4】The text mainly about__________ .

A. some keys to a better night’s sleep

B. some advantages of having a good sleep

C. some effects of bad night’s sleep

D. some reasons for insomnia
