阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

It’s a time when school，homework，active social lives and pare-time jobs keep teenagers busy from early in the morning until late at night．They are likely to try to make up for a lack of sleep by “sleeping in” on the weekends．Unfortunately，this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse．

Most teenagers are not able to fall asleep until late at night．Since many teens aren’t sleepy until around 11 pm．but need to be at school by 7:30 or 8:00 am ．They cannot get enough sleep ．During puberty(青春期)，the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time ，and this causes teens to fall asleep later．Then ，when it’s time to get up ，a teen’s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones ．This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning．

A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance，achievements and grades．A few years ago in an important study ，test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina，Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average，when the morning school bell rang an hour later．Unfortunately，most schools are not set up to start later and fail to satisfy teen’s sleep needs．

1.What effect does “sleeping in” on the weekends have on teenagers?

A．Improving their health

B．Weakening their energy

C．Disturbing their biological clock

D．Making up for their hormone loss

2.The study in Minnesota shows that starting morning school one hour later helps to______．

A．make teenagers grow faster

B．change teenagers’ sleep needs

C．do more research on teenagers

D．improve students’ achievements

3.The text helps us to know more about teenagers’______．

A．daytime activities B．sleeping habits

C．mental problems D．studying methods

—Who______ it be that is knocking at the door？

—It ______ be Father，but I’m not sure．

A．can; must B．can; may

C．must; can D．may; must

On August18,2012,the White House staff prepared for a special group of guests. The First Lady was hosting an important lunch.

At 10 o’clock, her guests arrived. Fifty-four children, each with a parent or grandparent, walked into the White House. The lucky guests were the winners of the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. It was a contest created by the First Lady a few months ago. She asked kids ages 8 to 12 to think up healthy, delicious lunch recipes. Winners from across the country, one from every state, were brought to Washington D.C, for the “state dinner”.

At the start of the meal, the First Lady welcomed her guests and congratulated them on winning the contest. “You were the winner in your state---the whole state,” she said. “You guys won! Cool!” She also explained what made the recipes win. “You came up with dishes that are good for you, but more importantly, they taste good, too,” she said.

Just before the dessert time, Michelle stood up to make an announcement. “We have a special guest who wanted to stop by and say hello,” she explained. “So it’s my honor to introduce the President of the United States.”

The President walked to each table, shaking hands with the winners and their family members. For the kids, this was the icing on the cake.” It was amazing to watch the President,” Kayla, one winner said. “His visit was a surprise and that ‘s a really big meal.”

One day a man was walking in the street when he met a penguin (企鹅)．It was a handsome and very brave bird． It seemed to take an immediate liking to the man, because it walked up to him and then followed him wherever he went．This was funny for a while but in the end became rather embarrassing(尴尬的)．

“Go away, you silly bird, ’’the man said to the penguin, but the bird ignored him. It simply would not leave him alone．Wherever he went, the bird went too. At last, in desperation (绝望) the man walked into a police station．“Excuse me, officer．” he said． “I need some advice. I met this penguin in the street and I don’t know what to do with it．”

A bored policeman looked up from what he was writing and said, “Just take it to the zoo, sir．’’

“Oh，all right．’’said the man．

The next day the man was walking along the street, still accompanied (陪伴) by the penguin, when he met the policeman he’d spoken to the day before．The policeman was not pleased to see them．“I thought I advised you to take that animal to the zoo, ” he said．

“Well, yes, officer, you did．And I did take him to the zoo, ” the man explained. “And we had a great time． But we can’t go to the zoo every day．I thought today I'd take him to the movies．’’

My students often tell me that they don't have "enough time" to do all their schoolwork.

My reply is often a brief "You have as much time as the president." I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that "not enough time" is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.

Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, "That's irrelevant (无关的). What's important is the quality of your work." Since then I have had time to think carefully about the "hard worker" dodge (诀窍), and I have come to some conclusions- all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.

If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of "time", which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of "work" during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it's not how hard one works but the quality of the product that's important.

That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone's office: "Don't work harder. Work smarter." There is a lot of sense in that idea.

If you can't get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since "work" for students usually means "homework", the expression "work habits" should be read as "study habits".

Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.

1.From the passage, we know that the author is probably ______.

A. a poet B. an engineer

C. a novelist D. an educator

2.We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still _____.

A. have enough time

B. can meet the president

C. get everything done well

D. should accept the explanation

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The author's students make good use of their time to do all their homework.

B. The author tried to tell the professor that he/she (author) had done a good job.

C. You can't improve the quality of the work if you can't get more time.

D. You'll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you're a clever student.

4.What's the passage mainly about?

A. Students don't have enough time.

B. No one can get more time.

C. Don't work harder; work smarter.

D. Read better and write better.

My friend Jim was a well-known radio host, who worked at a radio station all his life. All his colleagues knew him about one characteristic: If he’s on-air, he is always wearing a suit and a tie. They laughed at him, saying, “No one ever sees you. Why do you dress like that?” But he always turned that into a joke.

One day Jim was invited to appear on the TV. There was a show for the oldest radio employees. For the first time his fans, who only knew Jim by his voice, would see him. Before the recording of the show, the director came to Jim and asked, “Usually you arrive on time, but today you are 10 minutes late. It’s not terrible, but I still want to know why.”

“You see,” Jim answered, “at the last moment when I was already dressed up, I noticed that I didn't have new socks. For the first time I was invited to the television, and I thought that simply wearing clean socks was not enough. So I needed to go to the store for new socks.”

The director was surprised. He asked, “Why do you need new socks? You could have come without the socks because we will be filming you only over the waist.”

“ You see, to be perfect, I need to feel myself perfect in everything, starting with the shirt and finishing with the pen in my pocket,” Jim said. “And if my socks have holes in them or my shoes are dirty, I’m not spotless anymore. And it may make me less confident.”

1.From Para. 1 we can learn that when Jim is on-air, he______.

A. likes telling jokes

B. behaves strangely

C. always wears the same clothes

D. is careful about his dress

2.Jim was late for the TV show because______.

A. he went to buy new socks

B. he didn’t like to be filmed

C. he had to clean his clothes

D. he was too nervous

3.For Jim, being perfect in everything ______.

A. brings him success

B. makes him popular

C. gives him confidence

D. is difficult but necessary

A

5 Secrets of Web Travel Sites

Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient，but comes with its own set of problems．

1．They know who's on a Mac and who's on a PC and who's going to spend more．

Last year，US travel research company Orbitz tracked people's online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users．On average，Mac users lay out US$20?30 more per night on hotels and go for more stars，according to the Wall Street Journal．As a result，online travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first．To avoid inadvertently paying more，sort results by price．

2．Their software doesn't always hook up to the hotel's system．

A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere—but the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third?party providers．The middle?man's software isn't immune to system errors，so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed．

3．Don't be fooled by packages: Often，they're low?end items grouped together．

Ever notice how travel sites recommend a hotel，a rental car，and tour package all in one click? These deals usually feature travel that no one wants，like flights with multiple layovers．Check the fine print．

4．You could miss out on loyalty points．

Third?party providers can get between you and frequent flyer miles or points．Many hotel loyalty programmes don't recognise external sites，others award only minimum points and exclude special offers，like double points on hotel stays．

5．Once your trip is purchased，you're on your own．

An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard．Basically，when you arrive at the airport or hotel，you're just another client who booked at the lowest rate．

1.Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Third?party providers can ensure your reservation．

B．Mac users are likely to spend more money than PC users．

C．An online travel agency functions the same as an agent．

D．Packages usually provide travelers with satisfactory programmes．

2.What's the purpose of the passage?

A．To encourage readers to book a trip on an online travel site．

B．To make an advertisement about several travel sites online．

C．To convince readers not to book a trip on an online travel site．

D．To warn readers of some problems with booking trips online．
