 Two experts did some experiments on two groups of people — one who tended to sleep less than the
people around them and the other group more.
According to their report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men automatically began to cut down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.
   In general, these “short sleepers” appeared with ambition, active, energetic, cheerful, and conformist (不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or even worked full time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “acceptable” or “outstanding” to their friends and associates.
  When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering them. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.
  The experts also stated that those “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. They reported that those men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were a bit concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than the “short sleepers did.
  Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly express it that being asleep was a good escape from their daily problems.
All in all, proper time of sleeping should be admired, not too long, neither too short.
【小题1】According to the report, ______.

A.many “short sleepers” need less sleep just by nature
B.many “short sleepers” are obliged to reduce sleep time by work
C.long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day
D.many “long sleepers” formed sleeping habit during childhood
【小题2】 Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that ______.
A.sleep is a very efficient escape from the reality
B.sleep is just an item which should be denied by them
C.sleep might be a disturbing thing for their daily business
D.sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles
【小题3】 It is stated in the forth paragraph that “short sleepers” ______.
A.are ideally energetic under the pressures of life
B.often ignore the ill effect of not enough sleep
C.do not know how to relax themselves properly
D.are more unlikely to run into mental problems
【小题4】Which of the following is nearest to the meaning of “… were a bit concerned” in the fifth Para?
A.appeared troubled B.became energetic
C.felt dissatisfied D.were much depressed
【小题5】Which of the following is NOT correct according to the passage?
A.If one sleeps improperly, his performance suffers and his memory is weakened
B.The sleep patterns of short sleepers are the same as those shown by “long sleepers”
C.Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleep
D.Short sleepers may have been better off if they have more rest

Dear Steve,
     You asked me to write you something about my visit the British Isles. I will tell you the culture of the
people of the British Isles.
     The culture of the British Isles is influenced by the culture of the people on the European Mainland many
centuries ago. In the fifth century, people from different part of north Europe settled in England, brought
their own culture and languages with them. Their languages formed the basis for English. Some of the native
population moved to the inland, mountainously parts of the islands, to Ireland, Scotland and Wales, which
they continued speaking their own languages. In 1066 England was conquered by the French. For the next a
few hundred years, the upper classes spoke French when the common people spoke English. The result of
this French influence was whether the English language ended up with many French words such as table,
animal and age.
     I will stop here, and hope me enjoy it.
                                                                                                                                      Best wishes,
                                                                                                                                       Lee

     A rich man was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. On the ground lay
a young tree, ready to be planted. The rich man called out to the old man, "What kind of tree are you planting
there, my good man?"   
     "This is a fig (无花果) tree, sir." he said.   
     "A fig tree?" the rich man was very surprised. "Why, how old are you, may I ask?"   
     "I am ninety years old."   
     "What!" cried the rich man. "You're ninety years old. You are planting a very young tree now and it'll take
years to give fruit. You certainly don't hope to live long enough to get any fruit from this tree." The old man
looked around the garden. Then he said with a smile, "Tell me, sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy?"
"Sure." the rich man did not know why he asked this question. "Then tell me this," he said, "Who planted the
fig trees?" "Why? I don't know." "You see, sir," went on the old man, "Our ancestors planted trees for us to
enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me."   
     The rich man was quiet and said, "You are right, my good man. We should do some good things for the
people after us. Thank you very much." Then he rode away.

阅读下面短文并回答问题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1] You've known your best friend for many years and shared many precious moments together, they
have always been there for you and have been your rock to lean on when you were down. Now
someone is making you send them away, and you may never see them again. How do you feel?
[2] This is how many Harbin citizens are currently feeling as a new policy has recently been passed
banning large dogs from being kept in urban areas. Sadly then, all current owners have to _________
_________. Understandably this is heartbreaking.
[3] The animals are being forced away from the city under the banner(旗号) of public safety and
cleanliness. It's understandable that city officials want to create a safe and clean environment for the
people of Harbin, but is the ban reasonable? Are big dogs that much of a danger and dirtier than
smaller dogs? I can understand the cleanliness issue: there's nothing worse than walking in dog wastes
and having to clean it off your shoes. It's disgusting! But smaller dogs create just as much mess, so
the problem will still be lying around.
[4] Cities in other countries have no policies dictating what kind of dog one can own. But their streets
are still clean and people aren't getting chased around by crazy dogs. Dog owners should be educated
properly in how to look after their animals and be punished for breaking the laws. The dog doesn't
break the law by using the sidewalk as a toilet; the owner does for not cleaning afterwards. Maybe
more severe punishments for the few offending owners will be a better solution, because many dog
owners do clean up after their animals.
