World Sleep Day, on 21st March, was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems. Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world don’t realize it’s very important. As a result, sleep problems are quite common.

In 2011, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece did a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Among the people, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, 31.6 percent were diagnosed(诊断) with insomnia(失眠). In addition, 30.7 percent of them have visited doctors for help with sleep problems and 11.6 percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day.

The survey found that many people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples can’t fall asleep and often wake up in the middle of the night. The main reasons of the problems are pressure(压力) from school or work and a fast pace(节奏) of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also affect sleep and cause poor quality sleep. The survey also found that large numbers of people find it hard to sleep at night. The short term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating(专心). If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase.

There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping.

Getting a good night's sleep is important for everyone. By following the advice above,you can rest better at night and work better during the day.

25、

Water can provide enough energy for a power station. Find out how it works in this activity. All you need is your hands and a few simple materials:

★ a large plastic bottle   ★ a pencil   ★ a straw (吸管)   ★ a knife

★ scissors   ★ a piece of string   ★ a drawing pin (图钉)   ★ tape

Step 1. Cut the top off a large plastic bottle. Use a drawing pin and a pencil to make six holes around the base.

Step 2. Cut a straw into six pieces about 2cm long. Push them into the holes and secure (固定)  them with tape.

Step 3. Make three holes at the top of the bottle and tie a piece of string through each hole. Then tie the strings to a fourth piece of string (the string should be about the same length).

Step 4. Over the sink or outdoors, pour some water into the bottle. As water runs out of the straws, the bottle will spin around.

What’s going on? The energy from the water running out of the holes makes the bottle spin around. Falling water and its energy are used on a much larger scale at hydroelectric power stations(水电站). The water turns huge wheels, called turbines. These drive machines called generators that produce electricity.

【1】The main purpose of the text is to .

A.describe a power station B.introduce water power

C.show different materials D.encourage water recycling

【2】Which of the following is TRUE about the holes in the bottle?

A.There are 9 holes in all in the bottle. B.They are at the top of the bottle.

C.They are used for running water. D.They must be the same size.

【3】In this experiment, energy is produced when .

A.the bottle spins around B.water runs out of the straws

C.the strings are tied together D.the straw is cut into 6 pieces

【4】What can you get from Step 2?

A. B. C. D.

【5】You can find this passage in a magazine about _______.

A.math B.music C.history D.physics

26、阅读下面四篇材料，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

After giving a talk at a high school， I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home， but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him， so I agreed.

  During the nine-mile drive to his home， I found out something about Matthew. He

had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born， the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five， and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter， and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.

  I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask， “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously， he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future， and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking， I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment， then took it off and handed it back to me. He said， “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal， I will show it to you.”

  Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:

Dear Dick，

My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more， but I still smile as much as I can. I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal， but I know now I will never get to do that. However， I know I’m a champion， and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven， God will give me my medal and when you get there， I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.

Your friend，

  Matthew

28、   I was fourteen, a thin, red-headed, unimaginative little tomboy(假小子）, fond of baseball. My parents were dead, k【1】 in an accident a year before, and I lived with an aunt and uncle in Braeburn Heights, a suburb( 郊 区 ） of a small city in Kansas.

And then, o【5】 day I found White Creek Row. It was the town’s Hooverville( 贫 民 窟 ）, a row of shanties（棚屋）between the creek(小溪） and the railroad, little huts(简陋的小房子）l 【6】the playhouse that I had built back in the hills with the children of our Mexican gardener. But to my e【7】,  it was  romantic and  delightful as my aunt’s house in Braeburn Heights was not.

It was in White Creek Row that I made my first real f【8】  in Kansas. The people l【9】 in the row were  shy of me at first, as I was shy of the people in Braeburn Weights. My smart clothes, my bicycle, made me alien. And still, somehow or other, I m【10】 to develop a friendship with Posy Moreno
