B
　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, ______.

roperly

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．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”

Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a few, for example, the average among students is about six per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy (亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.

Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common—they often talk about “being on the same wave length”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate difference of opinion.

In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experience and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class race.

1．What are friends according to the author?

A．Friends are those who can get on well with each other.

B．Friends are those who can understand each other.

C．Friends are closer than those who get on well with each other.

D．Friends are those who know how to get on well with each other.

2．In Paragraph 2,“being to the same wave length” most probably means _____.

A．keeping friendship all the time

B．having the same age and background

C．sharing similar interests, ideas, attitudes and beliefs

D．sharing the same rights between friends

3．Which of the following statements is implied in the passage?

A．Sometimes friends may have different ideas.

B．Close friends must have similar ideas, interests, beliefs and attitudes.

C．Friends can break a promise.

D．Friends never argue with each other.

4．To strengthen the association between two people, ______.

A．friendship ceremonies must be held.

B．differences in background have to be removed.

C．people should make friends only with those who are similar to them in age and background.

D．they should support and understand each other in any case.

That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in 1 for seventeen years, I had no 2 about my ability to hold their attention and to 3 on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, " 4 !" The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 5 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly 6 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect—perhaps 7 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.

My students 8 diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 9 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. 10 her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 11 theme. "Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 12 for all the works we’ll study in class," I complained." How _13 they say I didn’t teach them anything?"

It was a long term, and it 14 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as_15 of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 16 questions and provide enough background so that students could 17 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide _18_ information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Tired of telling students to ask questions and to think about what they were doing, Damien Hynes, a high school geography teacher in Australia, decided to do an experiment to test what he had long been thinking．He wrote some well－organized nonsense(something untrue)on the blackboard．The students simply copied it but very few asked any questions．This shows that students are willing to believe anything given by teachers．The story is repeated in support of the Project for Enhancing Effective Learning(PEEL)．

　　PEEL was carried out by some teachers and researchers in Melbourne who had concluded that normal teaching methods seldom achieve their intended goals; what the teachers think they are teaching is one thing and what the students actually learn is something else．Students’ lack of an over－all view of learning goals and their concentration on test scores make them see each lesson as a separate activity．

　　Researchers realized that many students do not come into class empty－headed but have their own explanations of how the world works．Their own ideas can remain important to them even when they conflict with scientific explanations that are learned later．In fact such ideas are hardly affected by traditional teaching．Students accept the teacher's scientific explanation, but do not drop their own．They simply keep both and use them practically：in a class test, they copy the teacher's idea, but in real life they use their own．

　　Clearly what was needed was to make students aware of their learning process, and this is what the PEEL teachers set out to deal with．On the surface, a class being taught by PEEL methods only differs from an ordinary class in being a little noisier, because more people are talking．But there are some meaningful changes．Students are given much more time to express their views, and teachers don't make immediate judgment．The students are allowed to guide what is done in class and their own ideas are always respected．This draws their attention to the actual learning process, and they become responsible for their own progress．

　　The PEEL researchers rejected the idea of numerical(数字的)comparisons between PEEL and non－PEEL classes．They decided that their experiment would be proved valuable if the experiences of children and teachers in different classes using PEEL methods were similar．So far, all teachers and students who have worked with PEEL methods agree that their approach to teaching and learning has really changed．The students are far more ready to question what is presented to them, while the teachers are convinced that the traditional methods are not good enough．
