7．When I got up，Mom was already awake．I could hear her doing something in the kitchen．It was my birthday，and I was afraid what if my husband had neglected to take Mom shopping for a card？Once Mom found out it was my birthday，she would be sad that she had forgotten it and had nothing to give me．She even couldn't remember what we did two hours ago．
Birthdays are not a big deal to me．I hate growing older．I don't mind if Mom forgets my birthday as long as she still remembers me．That someday she might not recognize me has been my biggest fear ever since Mom got dementia（痴呆）．I can't imagine anything more terrible than being forgotten by your own mother．
When Mom suffered from dementia seven years ago，I was told she did not have Alzheimer's disease．I hoped that meant she would never forget her family．But as Mom's dementia became worse，I realized that I had no idea whether dementia could be as bad as Alzheimer's．
The sleeping house was quiet except for the sound of Mom's washing the bowls left last night in the kitchen．Will Mom live long enough to forget me？Will the day come when she no longer worries about remembering my birthday because she no longer knows that I exist？
In the kitchen，Mom heard me go near．She hurried to the door，her face ringing with smiles．"Happy birthday to you，"she sang．
We laughed as I hugged（拥抱） her tight and both of us were very surprised that she had remembered it．Moments later，she said，"Oh，there seems to be something for you．"She gave me her card．My husband did，after all，take her shopping．The birthday-for-a-daughter card was filled with expressions of love in blue ink．

11．The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past．With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone，writing by hand has become something of nostalgic （怀旧的）skill．However，while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching，many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life．
Virginia Berninger，professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington，says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand．
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand．The study，published in 2009，found that when writing with a pen and paper，participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate．
In a more recent study，Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write．"Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary，word meaning and concepts．It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas．"Berninger said．
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe（转换）"those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen，"the study said．Seeing the words in the"mind's eye"helps children not only to turn their ideas into words，says Berninger，but also to spot（发现） spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time．
"In our computer age，some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks，"she said．"But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level，they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer．"
28．What makes writing by hand a thing of the past？B
A．The absence of blackboard in classroom      
B．The use of new technologies in teaching．
C．The lack of practice in handwriting．
D．The popular use of smartphones．
29．Berninger's study published in 2009A．
A．focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer．
B．indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper．
C．found that good essays are made up of long sentences．
D．discussed the importance of writing speed．
30．What does"mind's eye"in paragraph 5 mean？D
A．Window．B．Soul   C．Picture．D．Imagination．
31．What conclusion could be drawn from the passage？C
A．Computers can help people with their choice of words．
B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching．
C．Handwriting still has a place in today's classrooms．
D．Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade．
8．In our daily life，we have developed a lot of habits，such as，eating habit，study habit，reading habit，etc．However，taking the time to develop a sleep habit is probably the last thing on your mind and some sleep advice simply can't be forgotten．（36）B．
Watching TV until you fall asleep
It has nothing to do with what you watch-TV news isn't a better pre-sleep choice than TV series．（37）C．The bright light keeps you awake all the night．So even if you nod off （in front of the TV，for example），you probably won't stay asleep for long．
Sleeping with pets
（38）F．They get comfortable，and then they move．This goes on all night，and whether you admit it or not，it interrupts your ability to get the level of sleep needed to feel rested．
（39）A
Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever-turing over and over again，never really feeling rested？Well，heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect-it raises your body temperature so that your sleep is disturbed until your body temperature drops to normal，which may take several hours．
Accepting snoring （打呼噜） as normal sleep behavior
Snoring may seem as common as breathing，but it's considered the biggest sleep killer，and it's linked to several causes：sleeping on your back，being overweight，having a cold，drinking，or taking drugs．（40）E．For the snorer，it disturbs sleep by awakening him/her every so often in order to breathe normally．For the partner，the noise can be unbearable．

A．Exercising heavily too close to bedtime
B．Here are some bad habits you need to get rid of
C．Rather it's the TV's bright light that is the criminal
D．Here are some suggestions you'll need to follow．
E．Most seriously，it's caused by a dangerous illness
F．Pets sleep most of the day，and they move a lot when sleeping
G．Reducing your body temperature before bedtime．
9．Food picked up just a few seconds after being dropped is less likely to contain bacteria than if it is left for longer periods of time，according to the findings of research carried out at Aston University's School of Life and Health Sciences．The findings suggest there may be some scientific basis of the"5-second rule"-the belief about it being fine to eat food that has only had contact with the floor for five seconds or less．Although people have long followed the‘5-second rule'，until now it was unclear whether it actually helped．
The study，undertaken by final year Biology students and led by Anthony Hilton，Professor of Microbiology at Aston University，monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety of indoor floor types as carpet，cement floor to toast，pasta，biscuit and a sticky sweet when contact was made from 3to 30seconds．The results showed that：time is a significant factor in the transfer of bacteria from a floor surface to a piece of food，and the type of flooring the food has been dropped on has an effect，with bacteria least likely to transfer from carpeted surfaces and most likely to transfer from cement flooring surfaces to moist foods making contact for more than 5seconds．Professor Hilton said，"Consuming food dropped on the floor still carries an infection risk as it very much depends on which bacteria are present on the floor at the time．"
The Aston team also carried out a survey of the number of people who employ the‘five-second rule'．The survey showed that：87% of the people surveyed said they would eat food dropped on the floor，or already have done so.55% of those that would，or have eaten food dropped on the floor are women.81% of the women who would eat food from the floor would follow the‘5-second rule'．Professor Hilton added，"Our study showed that a surprisingly large majority of people are happy to consume dropped food，with women the most likely to do so．But they are also more likely to follow the‘5-second rule，which our research has shown to be much than an old wives'tale．"

12．According to the passage，which of the following is true？D
A．A toast dropped on the carpet is easier to be polluted than that dropped on the cement floor．
B．A sticky chocolate dropped on the carpet is easier to be polluted than that dropped on the cement floor．
C．The food dropped on the carpet shares the same potential of being polluted with the food dropped on the cement floor．
D．The food dropped on the cement floor is not as safe as food dropped on the carpet within 30seconds．
13．What is the passage probably developed？A
A．Contrast
B．Example
C．Time
D．Space
14．How did Professor Hilton feel after analyzing how many people chose to eat dropped food？D
A．Puzzled
B．Upset
