“Last week,” Dr. P said “I was invited to a doctors’ meeting at the R. Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.”
“Frank!” I cried with surprise. He couldn’t answer as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.
My thoughts raced back more than thirty years—to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs. West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal (正常的). He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.
One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs. West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasn’t quite true, because the West went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.
When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated (分别) that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his.
They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running—and placed his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted (问候) me in the same way.
【小题1】How did Dr P know that the patient was Frank?

Everyone needs recognition(赏识) for his achievements,but few people make the need known quite as clearly as the little boy who said to his father,“Let’s play darts(飞镖).I’ll throw and you should say ‘Wonderful!’”

Fran Tarkenton,former Minnesota Vikings quarterback,once called a play that required him to block onrushing tacklers.

FEL quarterbacks almost never block.They’re usually vastly outweighed by defenders,so blocking exposes them to the risk of severe injury.

But the team was behind,and a surprising play was needed.Tarkenton went into block,and the runner scored a touchdown.The Vikings won the game.

Watching the game films with the team the next day,Tarkenton expected a big pat on the back for what he’d done.    It never came.

After the meeting,Tarkenton approached coach Bud Grant and asked,“You saw my block,didn’t you,Coach?How come you didn’t say anything about it?”

Grant replied,“Sure,I saw the block.It was great,but you’re always working hard out there,Fran.I figured I didn’t have to tell you.”

“Well,”Tarkenton replied,“if you ever want me to block again,you do!”

The average human spends 1/3 of his or her lifetime sleeping. Imagine how much people could accomplish if they spent less time sleeping. For many high school students, getting enough rest is not a priority (优先). A National Sleep Foundation survey shows that teens are staying up too late at night, usually getting 7 hours of sleep instead of the recommended 9 hours. Although teenagers' internal clocks (生物钟) are partially to blame for not sleeping earlier, many students lose sleep because of school.

    Schools should allow students enough time for sleep, taking jobs, sports, and other extracurricular activities into consideration.

    Students who are extremely busy and lose sleep as a result should not have to drop their activities in order to get more rest. With colleges becoming increasingly competitive, it is unreasonable for students to be forced to choose between sleeping and excelling.

      In addition to interfering with academic success, lack of sleep also affects a person's safety. Almost 1/2 of the 100 000 annual sleep-related car accidents in the U. S. involve people between the ages of 15 and 24.

     There are a number of solutions that high schools can choose from. One option is starting school at a later time. A later schedule is more appropriate for teenagers' biological clocks. Although it may create more expenses for the school, the change would be well worth it. Research has shown that students who get more sleep are happier, healthier, more productive, and earn higher grades than those who suffer from sleep deprivation免职, 撤职; 废止. Students who get enough sleep are also more attentive and less likely to fall asleep in class.

     A second option is offering study hall as an elective选修课程. Since this gives students time to do homework or take a nap, it creates more free time after school.

     A third alternative可供选择的办法 is for some teachers to alter(改变) their teaching methods a bit by giving only important, necessary homework. Quite a few teachers assign busy work, which doesn't teach students much but instead wastes their time. It is also helpful if teachers communicate with each other to plan out their test schedules.

     High schools should not negatively interfere with the amount of sleep teenagers get. Instead, schools should take steps to benefit the lives of students by allowing them enough time to rest. As Fran Lebowitz said, “Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.”

1. According to the expert, the students should get enough sleep, and it is about _____.

A．six hours            B．seven hours      C．eight hours           D．nine hours

2. Why the students couldn't get enough sleep?

A．Because they stay up too late.           B．Because of internal clock.

C．Because of too much homework.         D．Because of all above mentioned reasons.

3． There are about _____ sleep-related car accidents every year.

A．5000                B．50 000      C．100 000           D．1 000 000

4. In the writer's opinion, the high school should _____.

A．start school according to the teenager's biological clocks

B．interfere with the amount of sleep that teenagers get

C．change teaching methods completely

D．assign less homework now

5. The best title for this text would be _____.

A．Study and Sleep                B．Teens and Sleep

C．The Importance of Sleep       D．Students and Sleep
