There is an endless supply of stories about sleepwalkers (梦游者). People have been said to climb on roofs, solve mathematical problems, write music, walk through windows, and do murder in their sleep.

In Revere, Massachusetts, a hundred policemen searched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there.

At the University of Lowa, WWW.K**S*858$$U.COMa student was reported to have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and walking three-quarters of a mile to the Lowa River. He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed.

An American expert on sleep claims (声称) that he has never seen a sleepwalker. He is said to know more about sleep than any other living man, and during the last thirty-five years he has lost a lot of sleep watching people sleep. He says, “Of course, I know that there are sleepwalkers because I have read about them in the newspapers. But none of my sleepers ever walked, and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment, I doubt whether I would get many takers (应征者).”

Sleepwalking, however, is a scientific reality. It is one of those strange things that sometimes look quite fantastic (怪诞的). Doctors say that sleepwalking is much more common than is generally supposed. Many sleepwalkers do not try to find help and their sleepwalking is never recorded.

Teens' lives hit by economy

Some teenagers are crossing their dream colleges off their lists.Others are thinking of skipping their senior trips or reducing prom(毕业舞会)costs.Many are finding their work hours cut while their expenses rise.

　　 So，who exactly is punishing them？Is it their parents，teachers or employers？No，it's the economy.

　　 If you are like most teenagers，you probably don't understand what“recession”，“negative economic growth”and“subprime mortgage crisis(次贷危机)”actually mean.And you probably don't spend your days watching the ups and downs of the stock market.

　　 It's safe to say that most teens don't know much about the economy except for one thing：it's bad.But just how exactly is the economy affecting teens?

“The single largest thing I have noticed is the recession's ability to affect my college choice，”said Heather Richars from Downey High School in California，US.

“With the economic situation the way it is，I have thought less about going to a private or out?of?state university，and more about public schools in California，mainly because of the price of tuition，”said Richars.“I had been a fan of attending a private school up until this year.”

　　 The economy cuts into other areas of teenagers' lives，too.

　　 Joey Camarda，a student at Modesto High School in California，who works at an ice cream store，said，“Probably due to the economy，I have been getting less hours at my job，and because of that，I am not getting enough money to help pay for college.”

　　 Tara Mooney，a senior at Beyer High School，has also begun to notice that money is tight.

“Things are getting expensive，”she said.“When it comes to applying for colleges and wanting to go on senior trips，I have to pick and choose instead of doing it all.”

1．The purpose of writing the passage is mainly to tell us ________.

A．the economic recession has had a big impact on teens' work，life and study

B．teenagers are now having difficulty in deciding which colleges to apply for

C．teenagers don't know much about the economic recession

D．teenagers are considering giving up their senior trips to save money

2．Because of the bad economic situation，Heather Richars will most probably ________.

A．go to a private university

B．attend an out?of?state college

C．attend a public college in California

D．find a good university as he planned

3．How has Joey Camarda found the recession affects him?

A．He has to find more part?time jobs.

B．He has to help his mother do more chores.

C．He has found that he had more time to study.

D．His plan to pay for college will be hard to realize.

4．What can we conclude from the passage?

A．Parents punish their teens by giving them less money.

B．Most teens understand what negative economic growth means.

C．Teenagers are finding it harder to do what they want than before.

D．Teenagers have realized the importance of managing their own money.

Two friends visited the zoo together. The zoo was very large and it was   36  to go everywhere. They had to decide where and which animal to visit as their time was   37 . So both of them agreed not to   38  after choosing a   39  at every fork (岔路口).
A road sign at the first fork   40  one way to the lion quarters and the other to the tiger hill. They decided on the   41  after a   42  discussion because lions were “the king of the grassland”. The second showed a division (路口) going separately to the panda and peacock. They   43  panda as it was the nation’s treasure and went its way. Thus they made choices all along the way and each choice meant   44  what they could regret. But they had to make it 45 , for it brooked (容忍) no delay. If they hesitated they would miss 46 . Only   47  decision could offer more chances for sightseeing and   48  possible regret.

If you   52  weighing the pros and cons(权衡利弊) and calculating gains and losses, you will most likely   53  empty-handedness. Don’t be sad about it. 54  you have got half of the desirable things in life—something that is   55  to get.
