A survey basing on 1,000 students found that half of the pupils and 80% of the middle school students sleeps less than nine hours every night. Too many homework given by school teachers and parents is the main reasons. Other reason lies in students’ bad habits. Some students, for example, are absent-minded while doing his homework, and some waste their after-class time. The third reason is because some students have to get up early on weekdays to get school far away from home. Experts are calling at schools and parents to cut down on the amount of homework. And students should make a good use of their time. And it would be better if they could choose to study in a nearby school.

Turning the lights out or wearing a blindfold while eating could be a quick way to lose weight, according to scientists. The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories. It also triggers (引发) a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may go bad.

An experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany, found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full, compared to those who could see. They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate. Blindfolded volunteers estimated(估计) they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had.

Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full.

In the experiment, 50 people were blindfolded and 40 were allowed to see their food. All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment. They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15 minutes. Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice-cream weighed, while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten.

On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g. However, the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers. They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated lower than those who could see.

“The experienced pleasure of eating was significantly lower in the blindfolded group. Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite. Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience.”

Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste. While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark state that it triggers other senses, in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.

1.With the lights out, diners eat less partly because ______.

A. they want to quickly finish their meals

B. they trust their feelings more than ever

C. they focus more on fun than the calories

D. they worry about the quality of the food

2.We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded group ______.

A. spent a much longer time eating the same food

B. believed they ate more than they really did

C. depended on past experiences to feel full

D. thought the food tasted better than usual

3. The last two paragraphs tell us that ______.

A. diners are likely to lose their appetite eating in darkness

B. senses rather than sight play an important role in the taste

C. findings of this experiment differ from the previous studies

D. restaurants benefit a lot from allowing diners to eat in the dark

4.The main purpose of the passage is to ______.

A. provide statistics related to eating in the dark

B. offer reasons for people to eat in the dark areas

C. inform the readers of the result of an experiment

D. persuade the readers to lose weight in a new way

A job is more than a job, especially to the old. “It’s not the money that matters, but the sense of self-worth,” 56-year-old Cheng Wonlan said. So, every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels, letters and documents and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier(快递员).

Five years ago, Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for 30 years but became jobless when the doctor moved away. It was difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am,” she said. After two years of searching, she eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years, she quit. Why?

“My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age. They often asked me, ‘You are so old. What are you working for?’ I was very unhappy,” she said. When the rest of her family left for work, she was lonely and bored at home. Then her neighbours told her about Employees’ Retraining Board offering retraining courses for older people. These courses are specifically designed to encourage the older people back to work.

“I was interested in courier work. I didn’t think my age was a barrier(障碍) because I was fit,” she said. Upon graduating, Ms Cheng was offered a job by a company. But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict: she was caught between honour and employment. “I felt embarrassed about carrying and delivering letters and parcels,” she said. It took Ms Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind: there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job. So she went off to work as a courier.

Ms Cheng’s employer, Anthony Chong, is delighted with her responsible attitude and said, “I hire older people because they are able and reliable. Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people will not run from difficulties but the young ones will.”

1.Why was it difficult for Ms Cheng to find another nursing job?

A. Nursing clinics were hard to find.

B. She found it difficult to trust others.

2.Ms Cheng left her second nursing job because _______.

A. it was too difficult for her

B. she was bored with the job

C. her family didn’t want her to do the job

D. the other staff made her feel uncomfortable

3.Employees’ Retraining Board is an organization _________.

A. finding jobs for older people

B. teaching new skills to older people

C. training older people to make them healthier

D. providing older people with chances to earn money

4.According to Anthony Chong, young people________.

A. are more likely to give up than the older ones

B. are less experienced than the older ones

C. are fitter and stronger than the older ones

D. are able and reliable

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.

One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tire of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.

Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.

Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.

“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
