2.Many people lie awake at night,worrying about something from their job to the future.Now,researchers have discovered a simple and cheap solution:going to bed earlier.What time a person goes to bed and how much they sleep affects how much they worry,according to a new study.
Researchers found people who go to bed later,or sleep less,have pessimistic thoughts that seem to repeat in their minds,which they feel unable to control.
They also tend to worry excessively about the future,look back too much on the past,and experience annoying thoughts,mirroring the symptoms of people with anxiety and depression.
Regular lack of sleep might actually be linked to the development of anxiety,the researchers concluded.
The findings,coming after a number of studies,suggested getting between seven and eight hours sleep which is essential for good health.Less than this is thought to increase the risk of a person becoming fat,depressed,and can even cause severe health problems such as cancer and heart disease,because it upsets the body clock.
As part of the new study,researchers asked 100young adults at Binghamton University to complete questionnaires and two tasks on computer.These measured how much the students worried about something.They were also asked if they were more of a"morning"or an"evening"person.
The researchers found that people who sleep for shorter periods of time-and go to bed later-often experience more negative thoughts than others.
This was also true for those students who described themselves as evening types.
Jacob Nota,of Binghamton University,who carried out the research,said,"Making sure that sleep is obtained during the right time of the day may be an inexpensive and easy solution for individuals who are both bothered by negative thoughts".
29.According to the findings mentioned in the passage,which of the following shows the correct order?D
A.Experiencing negative thoughts->Going to bed late->Suffering anxiety
B.Going to bed late->Suffering anxiety->Experiencing negative thoughts
C.Suffering anxiety->Experiencing negative thoughts->Going to bed late
D.Going to bed late~>Experiencing negative thoughts->Suffering anxiety
30.What information do Para 2and Para 3mainly give?B
A.The causes of sleeping less
B.The  findingsof the research on sleep
C.Symptoms of anxiety and depression
D.The  effects of the research on sleep
31.How was the research carried out?B
A.By testing and comparing
B.Bysurveyingandanalyzing
C.By checking and measuring
D.Byobserving and interviewing.

8.How to deal with waste has been a problem since humans started producing it.As more and more people choose to live close together in cities,the waste-disposal(处理)problem becomes increasingly difficult.
During the eighteenth century,it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site(垃圾填埋场).Residents or trash haulers(垃圾拖运者)would transport household rubbish,rotted wood,and old possessions to the site.Periodically(定期的)some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried.The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.
Factories,mills,and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of.Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water.Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.
Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society.The first problem is space.Dumps,which are now called landfills,are most needed in heavily populated areas.Such areas seldom have empty land suitable for this purpose.Land is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的)neighborhoods.Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice,but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere,cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.
Awareness of pollution dangers has led to more strict rules of waste disposal.Pollution of rivers,ground water,land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste.The amount of waste,however,continues to grow.
Recycling efforts have become commonplace,and many towns require their people to take part.Even the most efficient recycling programs,however,can hope to deal with only about 50per cent of a city's reusable waste.
27.The most suitable title for this passage would beB.
A.Places for Disposing Waste
B.Waste Disposal Problem
C.Ways of Getting Rid of Waste
D.Waste Pollution Dangers
28.During the 18th century,people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT forA.
A.recycling it              
B.burying it
C.burning it                
D.throwing it into rivers
29.What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?C
A.Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.
B.There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.
C.Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same.
D.It is impossible to find space to bury waste in modern society.
30.The main purpose of writing this article is to.D
A.tell people a better way to get rid of the waste.
B.warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing.
C.call on people to take part in recycling programs.
D.draw people's attention to waste management.
5.Being Authoritative (权威的) Parents
Phrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language.Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort,we might turn out children with bright futures.But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"?
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied.Many of the studies,conducted by Diana Baumrind,a famous psychologist at the University of California,Berkeley,have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way,who sets high expectations but gives her child independence.These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically,psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved,or controlling and more involved.Why is this parenting style so successful?
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children.Carol Dweck,a social psychologist at Stanford University,has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children.In a typical experiment,Dr.Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle.Most do so with little difficulty.But then Dr.Dweck tells some,but not all,of the kids how clever they are.As it turns out,the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles.They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.
As the experiment suggests,praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence.Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart".Dr.Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr.Baumrind,who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident.If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk,you reduce her confidence.Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting.It is easier when they are young.The potential mistakes carry greater risks,and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.
25.According to the passage,a"tiger mom"D.
A.helps her children realize their dreams
B.speaks her children's everyday language
C.places reasonable expectations on her children
D.pays close attention to her children's experiences
26.It is implied that controlling style of parenting mayB.
A.face more challenges of children              
B.cause more problems in children
C.develop independence in children             
D.lead to children's academic success
27.The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests thatC.
A.a good game plays a big role in training young minds
B.puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
C.overpraising makes children less motivated and confident
D.bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
28.The last paragraph tells us thatD.
A.children should not be given much freedom
B.parents should not increase the risk of challenging
C.children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents
D.parents should allow their children to learn from the mistakes.
12.Here is an astonishing and significant fact:mental work alone can't make us tired.It sounds absurd.But a few years ago,scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳).To the amazement of these scientists,they discovered that blood passing through the brain,when it is active,shows no fatigue at all!
If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer,we would find it full of fatigue toxins and fatigue products.But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein,it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned,it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning.The brain is totally tireless.So what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes.One of England's most outstanding scientists,J.A.Hadfield,says,"The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin.In fact,fatigue of purely physical origin is rare."Dr.Brill,a famous American scientist,goes even further.He declares,"One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting workers in good health is due to emotional problems."
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired?Joy?Satisfaction?No!A feeling of being bored,anger,anxiety,tenseness,worry,a feeling of not being appreciated-those are the emotions that tire sitting workers.Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
33.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?C
A.Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood
B.Albert Einstein didn't feel worn after a day's work
C.The brain could work for many hours without fatigue
D.A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins
34.According to the author,which of the following can make sitting workers tired?B
A.Challenging mental work
B.Unpleasant emotions
C.Endless tasks
D.Physical labor
35.What's the author's attitude towards the scientists'idea?A
A.He agrees with them
B.He doubts them
C.He argues against them
D.He hesitates to accept them.
7.Children always appreciate small gifts of money.Mum or dad,of course,provide  (61)aregular supply of pocket money,but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra income.With some children,small sums go a long way.Only very thrifty children manage  (62)to fill(fill)up a money box.
   My nephew,George,has a money box but it is always empty.Very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound  (63)coins(coin) I have given him have found  (64)their(they)way there.I gave him fifty pence yesterday and advised him to save it.Instead he  (65)bought(buy) himself fifty pence worth of trouble.
On his way to the sweet shop,he dropped his fifty pence and it disappeared down a drain.
George took off his jacket,rolled up his sleeves and pushed his right arm  (66)throughthe drain cover.He could not find his fifty pence piece  (67)anywhere(where),and what is more,he could not get his arm out.A crowd of people gathered round him and a lady rubbed his arm with soap and butter,but George was  (68)firmly(firm) stuck.
The fire brigade was called and two fire fighters freed George   (69)using(use) a special type of grease.George was not too upset by his experience  (70)becausethe lady who owns the sweet shop heard about his troubles and rewarded him with large box of chocolates.
14.One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety.In fact,it was a bird,(40)C,a sparrow.
"What's that?"I asked when I first heard the gentle thumping(重击声)."It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball,"my wife,Anita,said.She(37)Band listened more devotedly."It's coming from the(38)C."she said."Maybe it's one of the little kids."We rushed out the door.Jonathan,our youngest,was(39)Ato make trouble."If he's making holes in the wall again…"I said as I searched there.No(40)Bat all.But there was that(41)Dagain,coming from right up there.

11.Most likely,you aren't the family breadwinner.But doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance (零花钱) would put some money in your pocket.For kids and grown-ups alike,money is easy to spend.If you aren't careful,it can be going in no time.
  Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn-and the sooner you start the better.Whether you are tracking your spending or saving for something special,creating a budget can help you deal with your expenses and plan for the future.All you need are paper and a pencil-and some self-control.
  First,take a look at our sample monthly budget.Then,use a separate sheet of paper to plan your own.In the first two columns (栏),list your sources (来源) of income and how much you expect to earn from them.In the third and fourth columns,list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount.
  The left-hand total should be more than or equal to the right-hand total.If it is,you have an effective budget.Budgets are not complex,but sticking to them can be tough.When planning your budget,be realistic about your expenses.If you know that you drop  18 at a movie,don't write  12 in that space simply because you wish you were spending less.
  If you are eyeing a big purchase,such as a  150 skateboard,spend less and save more until you have the total amount.No matter how attractive it may be,avoid spending your savings.One day,you will thank yourself!

12.After seeing the famous movie series"Pirates of the Caribbean"(<加勒比海盗>),Alexander Marchenko,a 38-year-old businessman from a small Russian village,decided to build his very own copy of the Black Pearl pirate ship.
Marchenko has traveled all over Russia,and believes that there is no other land more beautiful than his hometown.He decided to take advantage of the beautiful environment and build a hotel.
He had noticed the other restaurants and hotels in the area all looked the same way,so he tried to come up with something special that would attract visitors.He was wondering what kind of hotel he would build when the Black Pearl came into his mind.He decided to build his own Black Pearl ship.Without any ship building experience,he went online and downloaded photos of famous ships to use as guides.And started working on it immediately.It's been two years since he worked on his ship.Now,his own Black Pearl is starting to take shape on the Yenisei River.
The 21-meter-long   vessel is made of wood produced locally,and the ship's"captain"plans to add all the tiniest details(细节) of the original Black Pearl.Right now,Marchenko is working on the interior decorations(内部装修).He spends most of his time in the workshop,making all the little designs by hand.So far,he has spent 3.5million rubles.
Marchenko hopes to finish the work this summer.Judging by the attention his ship is getting in its current state,he believes that upon completion,tourists will flock to see his wooden wonder.
