1.Establish a regular bedtime and rising time, and stick to them.

       A regular bedtime and rising time can help you stabilize your internal clocks. Select a bedtime that’s good and natural for you. Don’t change your bedtime and rising time on weekends. Reprogramming your sleep rhythms for two days doesn’t do much to help you remove sleep debt, and it throws off your sleepwake  cycles just in time for a bad case of Sunday-night insomnia(失眠).

2.Avoid physical and mental stimulation(兴奋)just before sleep.

       Physical effort too close to bedtime energizes your body’s systems by stimulating the release of adrenaline(肾上腺素). Mental stimulation includes any activity that taxes your mind or gets your thoughts racing, such as watching an action-packed TV show. Similarly, planning tomorrow’s schedule, or reading a chapter from a murder mystery novel before turning out the light does not give you adequate time to escape from mental activity before trying to sleep.

3.Determine how many hours you should be sleeping.

       To determine your ideal length of sleep, factor in these considerations:(1)how many hours you slept on average as a child,(2)how many hours you slept each night on average before your insomnia began,(3)how many hours’ sleep you require to awake naturally without an alarm set, and(4)how many hours you must sleep so as not to experience daytime sleepiness.

4.Don’t go to bed too early.

       Since your body normally lets you sleep only the number of hours it needs, if you’re going to bed too early, you will likely awake too early as well.

5.Avoid naps

       Four out of five people with insomnia sleep better at night without naps. If you’re a committed napper, you can skip all naps for a week. If you feel better and sleep better, then drop them.

6.Take a warm bath within two hours of bedtime.

       A twenty-minute warm , soaking bath at a temperature of about 100—102 F not only is a great relaxer at day’ s end, but also raises your inner body temperature by several degrees. The ensuring drop in body temperature will naturally cause tiredness and sleep.

1.Which of the following will be helpful for a sound sleep?

       A.Tiredness                                                   B.Higher inner body temperature.

       C.Hot water.                                                  D.Lower room temperature.

2.What does the underlined word “them” refer to?

       A.People.                   B.Insominas.              C.Naps.                            D.Nappers.

3.If you want to have a good rest and enjoy an energetic travel the next day, what shouldn’t you do the night before?

       A.Watch TV.                                                        B.Take a warm bath   

       C.Plan the next day’s travel                             D.Go to bed at usual time

4.We may learn from the passage that       .

       A.most people have sleep difficulty

       B.many people prefer to sleep less at the weekends

       C.some people lack sleep during the weekends

       D.one needn’t keep the same bedtime the whole week

The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928). After immigrating form England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”, almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.

The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.

Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit-Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide rang of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.

66. How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?

   A. Through his observation of the country life.

   B. Through the combination of different ideas.

   C. By taking other people’s advice.

   D. By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago.

67. The underlined phrase“drawing on ”in Paragraph 1 probably means______.

   A. making use of                                        B. making comments on

   C. giving an explanation of                          D. giving a description of

68. According to Howard, garden cities should be built______.

   A. as far as possible from existing cities

   B. in the countryside where the land was cheap

   C. in the countryside where agriculture was developed

   D. near cities where employment opportunities already existed

69. What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?

   A. Their number would continue to rise

   B. Each one would continue to become larger

   C. People would live and work in the same place

   D. Each one would contain a certain type of business

70. What could be the best title for the passage?

   A. City and Countryside                               B. The Invention of the Garden City

   C.A New City in Chicago                             D. A Famous Garden City in England

The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it’s purposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. It you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or shared the same birthday.

This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would hive her some idea of a fascinating circle who might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fueling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She’s be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.

Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practising in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious. Automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance form the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems — how do I get characters into a room—dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.

The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’s the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine; the latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we’re “hard-wired” to do. And it’s true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behaviour.

Self-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient visit are the foundation of medical practice in the United States. Most physicians have a contract relationship with one or more hospitals in the community. They send their patients to this hospital, which usually charges patients according to the number of days they stay and the facilities (operating room, tests, medicines that they use). Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veteran's hospitals, a federal government agency. Others are operated by religious orders(教会) or other non-profit groups.

Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried physicians may work as hospital staff members, or residents, who are often still in training. They may teach in medical schools, be hired by corporations to care for their workers or work for the federal government’s Public Health Service.

Physicians are among the best paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $ 100,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Physicians list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a physician in the United States. Most would-be physicians first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $ 20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions. Prospective physicians then attend medical school for four years. Tuition alone can exceed $ 10,000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees, many young physicians are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of residency(实习阶段) in a hospital, the first year as an apprentice physician. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.

Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several physicians will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These physicians also take care of each other’s patients in emergencies.

Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures, even quite routine ones, involve risk. It is understandable that physicians want to be well rewarded for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.

1.According to the passage, it is very unlikely that an American hospital is owned by ______.

A. a church                 B. a corporation         C. a city              D. a state

2.The expenses for becoming a doctor are spent on _______.

3.According to the passage, how long does it take for a would-be physician to become an independent physician in the USA?

A. About seven year.                                      B. Eight years.

C. Ten years.                                       D. About twelve years.

4.Sometimes several physicians set up a group medical practice mainly because _______.

A. there are so many patients that it is difficult for one physician to take care all of them

B. they can take turns to work long hours

C. facilities may be too much of a burden for one physician to shoulder

D. no one wants to assume too much responsibility

5.Which of the following statements could fully express the author’s view towards physicians’ payment in the USA?

A. For their expensive education and their responsibility, they deserve a handsome pay.

B. It is reasonable for physicians to have a large income because their work is very dangerous.

C. Physicians should be better paid because they work long hours under bad conditions.

D. Physicians have great responsibility, so it is understandable that they should be well rewarded.
