As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.

In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.

On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute(降落伞), then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.

Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.

Spider monkeys have long, thin arms with hooklike hands that allow them to swing through the trees. They do not have opposable thumbs(对生拇指).

The brown-headed spider monkey has a prehensile(缠绕性的)tail, which means it can grasp and can be used like a fifth leg to grab trees. During the day, the spider monkey searches for fruits, which make up the main part of its diet. They will also eat flowers, seeds, leaves, and small insects during the dry season when fruits aren’t available. They spend most of the daylight hours climbing and swinging through the high branches of trees.

The brown-headed spider monkey lives in a large community of about 20 to 100 male and female monkeys. They split into smaller groups for feeding. Females usually give birth to only a single baby each year or two. Young monkeys are carried on their mothers’ stomachs until about 16 weeks old. Then they are strong enough to ride on their mothers’ backs. All brown-headed spider monkey babies are born with a pink face and ears.

Spider monkeys hug each other and wrap their tails around each other. They are very intelligent and have strong memories. They were named spider monkeys because they look like spiders as they hang upside down from their tails with arms and legs swinging. Their genus (属)name is Ateles, which means “imperfect”. This refers to the fact that they don’t have thumbs.

Hunting the brown-headed spider monkey is now barred in Ecuador, a country in northwestern South America, but humans have killed them for their meat for hundreds of years.

15.Experts recently suggested that teens should start adopting early bedtimes.Before you dismiss it as a habit suited only for young kids,consider that there are serious advantages in being well-rested.And now,even more research suggests that putting phones away before going to sleep is important to teens'well-being.
A new study from Seton Hall University School of Health and Medicine Science found that 62percent of kids used their smart phones before bed,and it's causing less sleep and poor performance in school.
Those teens who text(发短信) before bedtime tend to go to sleep later,and get up later in the morning.Such behavior can be associated with mental health issues like depression or anxiety.Besides,once teens do receive a text,experts found,they tend to respond right away.Then the text conversation continues----resulting in an even later bedtime.
The study's co-author Dr.Peter Polos says this leads to excessive stimulation(过度刺激) at night.Light from electronic devices can block the secretion(分泌) of melatonin---a hormone(荷尔蒙) that promotes sleep,which makes sleep difficult in the face of overuse of smart phones at night.It's true!More screen time means less sleep time; other studies have suggested the same idea.
As for a final piece of advice,Dr.Sushanth Bhat says,since getting the proper amount of sleep is very important for brain development and learning in the teenage years,our study should encourage parents and guardians (监护人) to limit adolescent smart phone usage at night.Keep in mind that teens aren't the only ones addicted to their phones!Adults can also benefit from setting a tech curfew(宵禁) for themselves.After all,kids learn by example!
32.What is the text mainly about?D
A.How to promote sleep.
B.How kids learn from their parents.
C.The advantages of going to bed early.
D.The disadvantages of phone usage before bed.
33. Who are likely to go to sleep later according to the text?A
A.Kids having text conversations before bed.
B. Kids putting their phones away at night.
C.Kids studying their lessons hard at school.
D.Kids exercising with friends after school.
34.Melatonin canC.
A.make sleep difficult                 
B.lead to later bedtimes
C.help people fall asleep               
D.wake people from a sleep
35.The author advises parents toC.
A.learn from their kids
B.get rid of smart phones
C.set a good example to their kids
D.try to benefit from hi-tech development.
