21、Students to get more sleep
When your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder: Why on Earth does school have to start so early? 【1】
A law in California, passed on Oct 13, requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 8:00 am and that high schools start no earlier than 8:30 am. The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022. Starting school at 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change. 【2】
“The effect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults,” Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University, told The New York Times. 【3】
Some might say that urging students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter adolescence. 【4】 So when school starts at 8:00 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5 — 9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.
【5】 In the short run, students’ school performances should improve immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a researcher, found that students who have enough sleep are more alert in class and get better grades. This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, “Generations of children will come to appreciate this historic day and our governor for taking brave action.”
A.Students can benefit a lot from more sleep.
B.Fortunately, there is a new law to back you up.
C.Here are some tips to help you solve this problem.
D.But it could mean one more hour of sleep for students.
E.Regular sleeping schedule is definitely good for students.
F.Not having enough sleep can increase the risk of obesity and diabetes.
G.It’s difficult for them to fall asleep before 11:00 pm during that period.
22、A company in Yancheng, Jiangsu province, reportedly introduced an internal document requiring all employees to stop using iPhones. Those who continue using iPhones could lose their jobs while those who switch to Huawei would get subsidies, the document said.
Asked why, a senior company executive said the move was to ensure the security of information and commercial secrets, and to encourage all to support domestic brands. Some enterprises and agencies might have security concerns, but for the company involved that seems unlikely, and it seems to be more of a publicity ploy.
There have been instances in the past, too, of other private companies forbidding employees from using iPhones and insisting they support Chinese brands.
At a time when the United States government is forcing US companies to stop doing business with Huawei, it is good to see Chinese compatriots (同胞) supporting Chinese brands. However, it isn’t Apple that is stopping supplying chips and other high-tech parts to Huawei. It is US politicians. The president has also issued executive orders to shut down Tik Tok so as to force it to sell its US businesses to an American company.
The best way to support Chinese companies is to speak out against those US politicians. It is advisable, for example, to create awareness among friends in the US about the ways in which these politicians are harming both Chinese and US interests.
Boycotting US brands such as Apple is not at all advisable. It not only violates (侵犯) an individual’s personal right to choose what he or she likes, it also creates a lot of misunderstanding. Of course, organizations that deal with critical information can ask their employees to use domestic brands. But that must be done legally.
Even Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei said that patriotism should not decide whether one wants an iPhone or a Huawei. He said that he had bought Apple computers for his family and that his company must learn from its competitors.
【1】The underlined word “subsidies” in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A.jobs
B.bonus
C.punishment
D.compliment
【2】Why did the company require its employees to stop using iPhones according to its leadership?
A.They thought the company’s secret information might be stolen by iPhones.
B.They felt guilt and shame at using iPhones.
C.They had to obey the order of the local government.
D.They thought using iPhones was an act of showing off.
【3】According to the passage all the following statements are true EXCEPT that________.
A.some enterprises and individuals don’t use iPhones to take their patriotic stand
B.Apple is stopping supplying chips to Huawei
C.boycotting US brands is not at all wise and appropriate
D.Ren Zhengfei and his family also use Apple products
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.We Need to Unite Against Using iPhones
B.One Company Ploy Matters to One Country’s Future
C.Can’t Force Huawei to Be Apple of One’s Eye
D.Chinese Compatriots - Let’s Switch to Huawei
23、 When he was 22, Rob Stewart traveled the world for four years. He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks. His 2007 film, Sharkwater, documents the cruel practice of removing sharks' fins (鳍) for money and leaving the animals to die. In his latest documentary, Revolution, Stewart takes on an even bigger challenge: climate change.
The Canadian filmmaker says that climate change has harmed people and places everywhere: “It is stronger than any government or organization. If we educate people, they will make better decisions about protecting natural resources. ”
According to a recent report on climate change, “The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have reduced, and sea levels have risen.” These developments are endangering crops, wildlife, fish, and even people.
Stewart says that the consequences of climate change will be irreversible unless people take action, especially young people.“It's up to kids to be the moral compass (道德指南) of society,” he believes, “and say, ’Guys, this is not right.'”
Many kids took action after seeing Sharkwater. Elementary school students in the Northern Mariana Islands, for example, got their local government to ban the sale of shark fins.
Felix Finkbeiner, 17, of Germany is also part of the “revolution” to save the planet. In 2007, Felix started a youth group called Plant-for-the-Planet, whose motto is “Stop Talking. Start Planting.” The group raises money to plant trees. So far, Plant-for-the-Planet has planted nearly 200 trees around the world. “Future generations are the ones who will be suffering the most from inaction (无作为),” Felix says. His goal is to plant millions of additional trees.
“When we started four years ago,” Felix tells Stewart in Revolution, “we thought we had to save the polar bear. We thought we had to save the environment. But soon after, we found out that it's about our future, that we have to save our own future.”
【1】What can we learn about Rob Stewart?
A.He spends most of his time traveling.
B.He likes taking challenging jobs.
C.He cares about the environment.
D.He made his first film four years ago.
【2】What does the underlined word “irreversible” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Easy to accept.
B.Hard to notice.
C.Unnecessary to worry about.
