【题目】 When your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder Why on earth does school have to start so early?

Fortunately, there is a new law to support—or better still, science.

A law in California, passed on Oct 13, requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 800 am and that high schools start no earlier than 830 am. The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022.

Starting school at 800 or 830 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change, but it could mean one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7:30 or even earlier.

"The effect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults," Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University, told The New York Times. He said that not having enough sleep can affect students' mental health and increase the risk of being overweight and diabetes (糖尿病).

In the short run, students' school performances should improve almost immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a researcher at the University of Minnesota's College of Education, found that students who have enough sleep are alert in class and get much more satisfying grades.

Some might say that asking students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter puberty (青春期),which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 1100 pm. So when school starts at 800 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.

This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, "Generations of children will come to appreciate this historic day and our governor for taking action."

1Which of the following is TRUE about the law?

A.The law has not been put into practice.

B.The law requires schools to start later than 830am.

C.The law will be passed by July 1, 2022.

D.The law is made by a university in California.

2What does the underlined word alert in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A.Friendly.B.Sharp.

C.Calm.D.Honest.

3For a better academic performance in the daytime, how long do teenagers probably need to sleep?

A.About 8 hours.B.About 9 hours.

C.At least 10 hours.D.At most 8. 5 hours.

4What's the main idea of the text?

A.Lack of sleep could lead to health problems.

B.The amount of sleep people need changes with age.

C.A new law lets students sleep longer.

D.Sleeping problems are leading problems for teenagers.

【题目】 Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.

In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.

In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.

As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.

Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with(涉及)special fields of learning. There's so much to learn that one kind of school can't offer it all.
