21、If you’ve ever had trouble getting your teen up in the morning or you’ve seen your teen fall asleep during the school day, you’re not alone. Many teens have difficulty in waking up early for school, and that’s because they sleep late at night.

The American Academy of Pediatrics’ Adolescent Sleep Working Group reviewed studies about sleep in teens. Researchers studied the harmful effects of not getting enough sleep — anything less than 8.5 to 9 hours of sleep on school nights — could have on young people. They discovered not getting enough sleep may cause poor grades at school. Not getting enough sleep has also been connected to a higher risk of car accidents in teens.

It may seem as though the way to solve the problem would be for teens to just go to sleep earlier. But researchers say that isn’t likely to work. Teens experience physical changes that make falling asleep earlier difficult. Their biological clocks just won’t allow them to fall asleep at 8 p.m., even when they’re tired.

Studies have shown that just delaying (推迟) school by 30 minutes can have a great effect on a teen’s health and performance. So most researchers suggest the school start time be delayed until at least 8:30 a.m. for teenagers.

Some of the benefits could include:

·Teens may be more likely to get the necessary amount of sleep.

·The delayed start time could help teens sleep during their natural sleep.

·Teens may be less likely to depend on coffee to stay awake during the day.

·Enough sleep could help teens study better in class, which could help them do better in exams.

·Sleeping longer could reduce health problems caused by a lack of sleep in the long term.

·Getting home later in the afternoon may reduce the amount of time when some teens are home alone, and could reduce the possibility that teens will take part in unhealthy activities.

But doing that can also cause some problems.

D．Teens can be negatively influenced by not getting enough sleep.

22、   Read the following rules a coach laid down for his fifth-grade basketball team and then do the quiz.

1. Be on time for practice and games. That means you should be at the gym 5 to 10 minutes before practice and 15 to 20 minutes before a game. Players need time to stretch and warm up in order to play their best.

2. Tell your- coach as soon as you can if you are going to miss a game or practice Coaches plan their practice and who is going to play in the games. If you are missing when the coach thought you would be there, that can really mess up the team.

3. Get plenty of rest before the games. Basketball is a tough game that takes lots of energy. You can’t play well if you are dragging around the court. So the rule is: No sleepovers before games .

4. Don’t yell at your teammates for making a bad pass or a bonehead play Everybody including LeBron James, makes mistakes. There will be times when you make mistakes, and you won’t want your teammates. yelling at you .

5. Don’t even talk about the referees (裁判员). Too many coaches and players spend too much time complaining about referees and their calls. Calls that you think are bad or unfair are part of the game. Learn to forget about the calls and concentrate on your performance. More games are won and lost by the players than by the referees.

6. Practice on your own. Most kids’ teams practice an hour or two each week. No one ever became a good basketball player by playing an hour a week. If you don’t have a basket, practice dribbling on a driveway or in a parking lot. Or pass the ball back and forth with a friend.

7. Go watch high school basketball games. Pick a good player who plays your position and really concentrate on what he does. Notice his form when he shoots the ball or how he positions himself on defense or where he moves when he doesn’t have the ball.

23、Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have experienced an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.

One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock (家畜) to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for pig producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.

Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear（修剪） sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete change of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.

24、Once when I was facing a decision of high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave——and mighty forces will come to your aid.

Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet — and stopped him cold.”

Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

【1】Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?

A．He faced huge risks.

B．He tried and failed.

C．He was afraid of failure.

D．He was not forced by courage.

【2】What is the reason of Tim’s success?

A．His physical strength.

B．His spiritual force.

C．His hard work and skills.

D．His passion for football.

【3】According to paragraph 5, what might a person with boldness do?

A．He might do things in an extreme way.

B．He can build up confidence overnight.

C．He might try to do something and fail.

D．He might try to do nothing and succeed.

【4】What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?

A．To encourage people to be courageous.

B．To advise people to build up physical power.

C．To tell people the ways to guarantee success.

D．To recommend people to develop more abilities.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

In 2019, I rescued a skittish donkey (容易受惊的驴). Bo came from a nearby cattle ranch and now lives peacefully on my ranch in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, along with another donkey, three horses, and two dogs. But the key to Bo’s successful recovery from nervous rescue to happy ranch animal wasn’t anything I did. It was my grandson, Dylan.

When he was just shy of four years old, Dylan came with his parents to spend the Fourth of July with me on their way to Canada for a vacation. Bo kept his distance from the grown-ups, but he displayed an unusual fascination with Dylan. So we decided to introduce them. “Move slowly, keep your arms down, be quiet, and stoop down sometimes,” I told my grandson. Dylan cautiously approached Bo, step by step, holding a soft rubber comb. Bo held his ground, but he seemed interested with this little visitor. Dylan rubbed Bo’s shoulders and neck softly with the comb, removing remains of his thick winter coat.

It’s hard for an almost four-year-old to stay still for long, and motivation overcame self-control. Dylan made one quick move, and Bo jumped off with light steps. But Bo and Dylan were not ready to give up. Dylan approached again. To witness a preschooler learn to control himself in such a short time was amazing.
