Ban the Band(乐队)?

    Every year, our school has a dance for all the students. It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful  36  , instead of the usual school uniform.

     Most of us think the dance is great  37  -even the teachers enjoy being there.   38  , two weeks ago someone said that there would be no  39  band this year only CDs.

     “I don’t  40  it!” Amy cried out during the lunch break.

     “Someone said the school couldn’t  41  a band, and they think it’s too noisy anyway,” added Daniel.

     “Well, I don’t think it’s  42  enough without a band!” declared Angela, “and I’m going to see what can be done.”

      Angela was as good as her  43  . In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the  44  some more thought. And he suggested that one  45  for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10. Angela had to  46  out whether the students would like to do that.

     “I need all of you to help me,” she  47  to our group before school the next day. “Mr. Berry gave me a list of all the names, and suggested we ask each one their   48  about the band and the extra cost.”

        49  the day we asked around as Angela suggested, and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost. We were amazed how much  50  there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.

      “I’m surprised,” smiled Mr. Berry, when we gave him the  51  . “I really thought that only a few people  52  their band and that the cost would be too high. OK, Angela, your next  53  is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”

Angela was all smiles and  54  the news to Amy and Daniel. “You’re  55  ,” smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.

On May 23,1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadn’t seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms(节奏). In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth.

During her time in the cave, Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothing to tell her the time. She’d had no clocks or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.

The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn’t kept to a 24-hour day, she had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a results! She had also become rather depressed(抑郁).

How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she’d done some physical and mental tests. She’d recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she’d played cards, read books and listened to music. She’d also learned French from tapes.

The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature. For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others don’t start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!

1. Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because ______.

   A. she was asked to do research on mice

   B. she wanted to experience loneliness

   C. she was the subject of a study

   D. she needed to record her life

2. What is a cause for the change of Stefania’s body clock?

   A. Eating fewer meals.

   B. Having more hours of sleep.

   C. Lacking physical exercise.

   D. Getting no natural light.

3. Where does the text probably come from?

   A. A novel.   B. A news story.  C. A pet magazine.   D. A travel guide.
