26、   As we all know, it isn’t healthy to stay up late and poor sleep quality can leave us feeling low. However, many people still cannot get enough sleep, especially the young.

Over 60% Chinese youths aged 6 to 17 sleep less than eight hours a day, according to a report released by the Chinese Sleep Research Society (CSRS). Among 13-to 17-year-olds, the figure is more than 81%.

According to the study, too much school homework is a major cause for sleep loss among young people. For example, from Monday to Thursday, 8.4% of them would still be busy with their homework after 11 pm. Another major cause of young people’s inadequate sleep is the frequent use of electronic devices (电子设备). More than 41% children and teenagers who sleep too little use electronic devices such as computer tablets and mobile phones, the survey found.

Lack of sleep among children and teenagers has raised concern. “Sleep loss can lead to weakened immunity (免疫力) and memory, and can also prevent physical growth,” Wang Zan, a member of the CSRS, told People’s Daily.

To reduce students’ academic burden, the Ministry of Education and eight other departments released a guideline (指南) on Dec 28. For example, it says that junior high students should spend no more than 90 minutes on homework and senior high students must do their homework in a proper time limit. Local education authorities across China should also take more steps to help students get more sleep, including delaying the start of morning classes by half an hour.

【1】What does the CSRS report find?

A.About 81% children sleep less than eight hours.

B.About 41% youths have serious sleep problems.

C.More than 60% young people suffer lack of sleep.

D.Only 8.4% students finish homework before 10:30 pm.

【2】Why can’t young people get enough sleep?

A.They start to do their homework very late. B.They often watch TV for hours after work.

C.They take too many after-school courses. D.They have too much homework to finish.

【3】What problem might lack of sleep lead to?

A.Weight gain. B.Poor memory. C.Mental problems. D.Bad mood.

【4】How can the government help students get more sleep?

A.By limiting the amount of homework. B.By getting homework done at school.

C.By shortening the time a certain class. D.By allowing a half-an-hour early leave.

27、Ways to Develop Self-discipline

Five years ago, I was the heaviest I’ve weighed in my life. When I would run, I’d immediately get tired. The worst part is that I had no motivation to get healthier—until I threw my back out. 【1】 When I went to physical therapy (治疗), the young woman helping me pointed to my stomach and said, “we need to awaken these muscles.” From that point on, I knew I had to change. I had to think about how to develop self-discipline with eating and working out.

【2】But I eventually lost 30 pounds and have maintained a consistent workout schedule for the past five years. Of course, self-discipline is bigger than just physical health. Having discipline helps us grow, makes us reliable, and strengthens our moral framework. Here’s how to develop self-discipline.

Set clear end goals. 【3】 If we don’t set clear goals, we’ll float around like feathers in the breeze. If you want to be disciplined, set clear and measurable goals. Then display those goals where you’ll see them every day.

Do the small things. We all want big change quickly. It doesn’t happen that way, though. Self-discipline starts by performing small activities consistently. The small things add up to big results. 【4】 Every small act of faithfulness makes your self-discipline stronger.

Keep record of your progress. It’s pointless to have goals if you aren’t measuring whether or not you are moving toward them. When I don’t track my progress, I stop doing things I need to do and become lazy. It’s easy to lack discipline when you lose focus on where you’re going.【5】

A．It did take a lot of work.

B．I decided to take regular exercise.

C．Keeping track helps you stay on point.

D．We have to keep in mind where we want to go.

E．Occasionally, you may get results without effort.

F．I had shooting pains down my legs whenever I got up.

G．It may take time to see those returns, but stick with it.

28、   How do you make a restaurant business an overnight success at the age of 52? Ray Kroc said, “I was an overnight success, but 30 years is a long, long night.”

In 1917, 15-year-old Ray Kroc lied about his age to join the Red Cross as an ambulance driver in World War Ⅰ, but the war ended before he completed his training. He then worked as a piano player, and a paper cup salesman. In 1954, he visited restaurant in San Bernardino, California. There he found the small but successful restaurant run by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, and was surprised by their effective (有效的) operation. The McDonald’s brothers produced a limited menu, concentrating on just few items—burgers, fries and drinks—which allowed them to focus on quality and quick service.

They were looking for new franchising agent (特许经销商) and Kroc saw chance. In 1955, he founded McDonald’s System, Inc. By 1958, MeDonald’s had sold its 100 millionth hamburger.

In 1961, Kroc started a training program later called Hamburger University, at a new McDonald’s restaurant in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. There, franchisees (特许证持有人) were trained on the proper methods for running successful McDonald’s’ restaurant. Hamburger University used a research and development laboratory to develop new cooking, freezing, storing and serving methods. Today, more than 275,000 franchisees, managers, and employees have graduated from the program.

Right up until he died on January 14, 1984, Ray Kroc never stopped working for McDonald’s. His legacy provides McDonald’s customers with great tasty, inexpensive food; staff and franchisees with chances for growth; and suppliers with a shared promise to provide the highest quality food.

【1】What does Ray Kroc mean by the underlined sentence?

A.He waited 30 years to be a franchisee.

B.He experienced a lot before he succeeded.

C.It took long preparation to open the restaurant.

D.He felt happy for the past 30 years.

【2】Why was the operation of Dick and Mac McDonald effective?

A.They focused on a limited menu.

B.They considered quality important.

C.Their restaurant was run by two people.

D.Their restaurant had well-trained employees.

【3】When did Kroc start a training program?

A.In 1955. B.In 1956. C.In 1961. D.In1984.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.The Story of Ray Kroc B.McDonald’s’Restaurant

C.Tricks of Running a Business D.New Franchising Agents

29、We all like fantasy stories, and grow up reading and listening to fantasies. These tales fuel our imaginations, and satisfy our longings for adventures. The most interesting thing about fantasies is that their plots involve magical beasts and heroes，animal creatures talking like humans，and other things we can’t see in real life. Also, fantasies have a distinguished writing style, with freedom of expression.

Toy Fantasy

In toy fantasy stories, narrators(叙述者)bring their beloved toys to life that can live, talk, think，breathe and behave like human beings. You would see modern toy fantasies in a picture book format. Representative works are A. A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh and Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio.

Animal Fantasy

The animal fantasy tells tales about animals behaving like human beings, experiencing emotions, and having the ability to talk. However, animals in fantasies hold their various animal characteristics, too. Examples include The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, Charlotte's Web by E. B. White, and The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter which influences children around the world.

Magical Fantasy

In a magical fantasy, you see a character having magical powers, or a strange magical object becomes the subject of the story. Stories of this type began widely spreading long ago, including Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and William Steig’s Sylvester and the Magic Pebble.

Modern Folktales

Modern folktales are types of fantasy that narrators tell in a traditional tale accompanying some typical parts, such as strong conflict, little description of characters, and sometimes magical elements. These tales come before all others and are popular, as authors throughout history, have written them. Hans Christian Andersen has written several tales of this category including The Nightingale, The Emperor’s New Clothes and Thumbelina.
