Not being able to fall asleep or stay asleep is not a disorder in itself but a sign of some other problems, often a physical one.
If you have trouble sleeping, the American Sleep Disorders Association suggests that, for a week or two, you put down the time you go to bed, get up, exercise, and drink coffee, tea or wine.  The purpose is to find the habits that may affect your sleep.
Then:
a.      Don’t drink coffee in the six hours before going to bed.
b.      Stop smoking and drinking at bedtime.
c.      Don’t sleep during the day.
d.      Go to bed at the same time every night.  Set your alarm clock for the same time every morning and get up at that time, whether or not you sleep well.
e.      Use the bedroom only for sleep.  Read, watch TV, eat and talk elsewhere.
f.       Take sleeping pills according to your doctor’s directions and don’t take them for longer than three weeks at a time.
g.      If you haven’t fallen asleep within 15 minutes of going to bed, don’t turn over worrying about it.  Get up and read or watch TV until you are sleepy, then return to bed.
If you continue to have trouble sleeping, ask your doctor for help or go to a sleep-disorders center.
小题1: According to the passage, there is probably        if you are not able to fall

A cheap drug that can stop bleeding in people recently injured in an accident could potentially save the lives of tens of thousands worldwide, a new study says.
Researchers studied the effects of tranexamic acid (凝血酸), or TXA, in more than 10,000 injured people in 40 countries who received the drug within 8 hours of being injured. The study was published in the medical journal Lancet. Doctors found that patients who got TXA had a 15percent lower chance of dying from hemorrhage than those who didn’t get it . They also had a 10 percent lower chance of dying from any other cause, including organ failure and a head injury. The study was paid for by the British government.
The drug is commonly used in wealthy countries during elective surgeries(外科手术) to stop bleeding , but isn’t used for accident victims. TXA is off-patent and made by many companies. It costs about $4.5 per gram, and a typical dose is two grams. It is usually given via an injection(注射) and would be relatively easy to introduce, even in poor countries, experts said.
Previous tests of the drug regarded its use in elective surgeries, such as heart operations, but this was the first study to test the drug on accident victims. Doctors were worried it might increase side effects such as blood clots (凝块)in the heart and lungs, strokes, or heart attacks. There was no evidence of that in the Lancet study, though the authors said it was possible they might have missed some of these incidents.
For people between 5 and 45, accidents are the second leading cause of death worldwide after AIDS, and about 600,000 injured patients bleed to death every year. Experts estimated that if TXA were readily available, between 70,000 and 100,000 lives a year could be saved. Though the drug wasn’t tested on children , experts said it would almost certainly work with them as well.
小题1:The underlined word” hemorrhage” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________
A.serious illnessB.heart diseaseC.heavy bleedingD.lack of drug
小题2:What can we learn about TXA from the passage?
A.It can only be made in EnglandB.It was only used in operations before
C.It is a patented drugD.It is mainly used in poor countries
小题3:Doctors were worried about using TXA because ________
A.a lot of patients died unexpectedly after using it
B.it has no treatment effect on patients
C.it can cause blood clots or stroke
D.they hadn’t used it on accident victims before
小题4: What do we know from the last paragraph?
A.It is a pity that TXA wasn’t widely used on injured patients before
B.Tests have proved that TXA can be used on children
C.People between 5 and 45 should be injected with TXA every year
D.Accidents are the first leading cause of death worldwide.

There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be 46 .                    Today things are  47  , the world has become too  48  . We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are  49  our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on the earth  50  survive.
  Everyone 51  today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing  52 , more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down,  53  will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we  54  to use bigger and more powerful machines to 55  more and more trees.
  We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die.  56  , in most countries wastes are  57 put into rivers or into the sea, and there are  58  laws to stop this. We know, too, that if the  59 of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years there will not be enough 60 . What can we do to solve these problems ?
   If  we eat more vegetables and less  61  , there will be more food available for everyone. Land that is used to grow crops  62  five times more people than land where animals are kept. Our natural resources will  63  longer if we learn to recycle them. The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth 64  .

Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made.In my early 20s, I rarely went to bed before midnight, and I would almost always get up late the next morning.
But after a while I couldn’t ignore the high relationship between success and rising early.On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity was almost always higher.So I set out to become a habitual early riser.But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep.Eventually some sleep research showed me that I was using the wrong strategy.
The most common wrong strategy is this: You assume that if you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier.It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.
There are two main schools(流派) of thought on sleep patterns.One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day.The second school says you should go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up.However, I have found both of them are wrong if you care about productivity.If you sleep at set hours, you’ll sometimes go to bed when you aren’t sleepy enough.You’re wasting time lying in bed awake and not being asleep.
If your sleep is based on what your body tells you, you’ll probably be sleeping more than you need.Also, your mornings may be less predictable if you’re getting up at different times.
The solution for me has been to combine both methods.I go to bed when I’m sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time.So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 am), but I go to bed at different times every night — sometimes at 9:30pm, and other times at midnight.Most of the time I go to bed between 10-11 pm.
However, going to bed only when I’m sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning is my way.If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.
小题1:According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to ____.
A.people who stay up until the next morning.
B.people who get up early in the morning.
C.people who feel sleepy in the morning.
D.people whose productivity is the highest in the morning.
小题2:Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser?
A.Because he / she wanted to form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
B.Because he / she had found that his / her productivity was higher when he / she got up early.
C.Because he / she wanted to see which of the two main schools of thought on sleep patterns was right.
D.Because he / she was told the high relationship between success and rising early.
小题3:The author experienced all the following EXCEPT ____.
A.going to bed after midnight.
B.getting up early occasionally.
C.pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping.
D.asking scholars for advice on sleeping habits.
小题4:The passage is mainly about ____。
A.how to become an early riser.
B.how to have good sleep.
C.wrong strategies for getting up early.
D.main schools of thought on sleep patterns.
If a person forgets names, places or facts —and has trouble with everyday things like reading or shopping —it may not mean you are getting old. It could be Alzheimer’s disease. So it’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. But a drug called ARICEPT has been used by millions of people to help their symptoms (症状).
In studies, ARICEPT has been proved to work for Alzheimer’s . It has helped people improve their memory over time. It has also helped them to keep doing everyday things on their own.
Ask your doctor if ARICEPT is right for you or your loved one. It is the Number One drug for Alzheimer’s in the world. The sooner you know it’s Alzheimer’s, the better ARICEPT can help .
ARICEPT is good for many but may not be good for everyone. Some people may experience not sleeping well, feeling very tired, or not wanting to eat. In studies, these side effects weren’t serious at all and went away over time. Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed. In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.
小题1:If one suffers from Alzheimer’s, ________  .
A.he has trouble with his memory
B.he can’t do everyday things on his own
C.he often forgets things because he is old
D.he can’t move about
小题2:What is ARICEPT?
A.A medicine to cure Alzheimer’s
B.A medicine to delay signs of aging.
C.A medicine to reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.
D.A medicine to cure brain damage.
小题3:One who is taking ARICEPT should go to see a doctor if he  ________ .
A.can’t fall asleep B.feels tired out
C.has no desire to eat D.feels like a drunken man

Recently the World Health Organization announced that the disease of
smallpox(天花)had almost been wiped out in most parts of the world, thanks to widespread vaccination(种牛痘). Most people are vaccinated at least once in their lives and if they wish to travel from one country to another they must be able to prove that they have had a recent vaccination. In this way the disease has been prevented from spreading and today one seldom hears of it at all.
This is mainly because of the great discovery made by a village doctor, Edward
Jenner, in about 1798 when he published his report of his new experiment called vaccination (from the word ‘vacca’ meaning a cow). Jenner discovered that people who worked with cattle often suffered from a harmless disease which they caught from the cattle, but these people never seemed to get smallpox. So he experimented by putting the disease into a small opening on the arms of healthy people, and though their arms became painful for a day or two, they soon recovered and none of these people ever got smallpox.
So the news of the wonderful discovery spread to other countries and people
rushed to their doctors to be vaccinated. In many countries the simple way to deal with the arm was done on thousands of people, and the terrible smallpox began to disappear.
71.Vaccination against smallpox has been so successful that _________ .
A.the discoverer made a large amount of money
B.Dr Jenner was given a prize by the World Health Organization
C.smallpox has almost disappeared in most countries
D.smallpox was no longer in existence on earth
72 .Smallpox has been prevented from spreading through the following measures EXCEPT that ________.
A.most people were vaccinated against the disease at least once
B.people going abroad should promise not to spread the disease
C.people travelling from one country to another must prove they are vaccinated
D.people must be vaccinated shortly before going to foreign countries
73 .What led Dr Jenner to experiment with vaccination was that ________ . 
A.he wanted to make a great discovery and publish it
B.vaccination could make people's arms safe
C.he tried to cure the farmers of some disease caught from the cattle
D.those who worked with cattle seemed free from getting smallpox
74.The doctor's new discovery was called ‘vaccination’ for the reason that ________ .
A.he discovered smallpox near a farm
B.he experimented with a disease from the cattle
C.he was working with cattle in the countryside
D.people got the disease of smallpox from the cattle
75.The news of the discovery ________.
A.caught people's attention from all corners of the world
B.spread far and near in the western countries
C.made people rush to Dr Jenner for vaccination
D.helped to get rid of the terrible disease of smallpox

There's a lot of discussion these days about healthy kids. People who care (parents, doctors, teachers, and others) want to know how to help kids be more healthy.
Being healthy is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical activity (exercise), and has a healthy weight. If you're healthy, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do. Here are five rules to live by, if you're a kid who wants to be healthy.
Eat a Variety of Foods, Especially Fruits and Vegetables. You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. If you eat different foods, you're more likely to get the nutrients(营养) your body needs. Taste new foods and old ones you haven't tried for a while. Get at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day — two fruits and three vegetables.
Drink Water and Milk Most Often. When you're really thirsty, cold water is the No. 1 for you. Kids need calcium(钙)to build strong bones, and milk is a great source of this mineral. How much do kids need? Aim for 3 cups of milk per day. You can mix it up by having milk and some other calcium-rich dairy foods .
Be Active.One job you have as a kid — and it's a fun one — is that you get to figure out which activities you like best. Not everyone loves baseball or soccer. Ask your parents to help you do your favorite activities regularly. Find ways to be active every day. You might even write down a list of fun stuff to do, so you can refer to it when your mom or dad says it's time to stop watching TV or playing computer games!
小题1: What’s the best title for this passage?
A.Do Your Favorite Activities RegularlyB.Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Every Day
C.Drink Water and Milk When You Are ThirstyD.Tips on How to Keep Healthy
小题2: Which of the following can’t show a kid is healthy?
A.Eating wellB.Having too much sleep
C.Having a healthy weightD.Getting a lot of physical exercise
小题3: The best way to get enough nutrients for your body is ________.
A.to drink milk every dayB.to eat what you haven’t eaten before
C.to eat all kinds of foodsD.to eat fruits and vegetables instead of grains
小题4:The underlined words “this material” in the fourth paragraph refer to _________.
A.calciumB.calcium-rich dairy foodC.milkD.nutrients
