In China, more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before. Most students sleep less than nine hours every night, because they have much homework to do. Some homework is given by their teachers, and some by their parents. Also, some students don't know how to save time. They are not careful enough while they do their homework, so it takes them a lot of time. Some students spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games. They stay up（熬夜）very late. Some students have to get up early every morning on weekdays to go to school in time by bus or by bike. It may be a long way from home to school.
Schools and parents should cut down some of the homework so that our children can enjoy more than nine hours of sleep every night for their health. For children, we should make best use of our time. When we have enough time for sleeping, we will find it much better for both our study and health.

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
There's no one reason why women return to school. Going back to school provides private and public benefits. College graduates, generally enjoy higher salaries, (employ) more consistently, and work in nicer conditions. College-educated people vote more, give more to charity, and rely (little) on government support.
Making the switch from (support) to supporting oneself can be a challenge, often a necessary one. Financial (dependent) for women is key, says Nancy Schlossberg, professor at University of Maryland. “I think important for women to do some direct achievement, because chances are that women will live alone in later life, either divorced never married.”
To Schlossberg, education is critical in the long run. She says, “You are going to do much better than before you have a good education; you are going to be happier than before on condition that you have education that enables you to do what you have to do in life. The question is you are ready at this time to go for it.

We live in a sweet world. An average American kid consumes(消耗) more than 20 teaspoons of sugar per day, and adults eat 50% more sugar today than they did in the 1970s. We all know that too much sugar isn't good for us. Researchers at the University of Utah used mice to make a study to prove the toxic effects of eating more sugar. They found it could influence people's health seriously.
During the 58-week-long study, mice were fed a diet containing 25% more sugar. This percentage is equal to a healthy human diet along with three cans of soda daily. The team found that these mice were twice as likely to die as mice without eating so much sugar. Though the mice did not show signs of obesity or high blood pressure, male mice produced 25% fewer offspring(后代) than the other mice.
The reason why mice were chosen for research by scientists is not far to seek. “Mice have the genetic(基因)structure similar to humans'. Most substances(物质) that are harmful to mice are also harmful to people; it's likely that those important physical problems that cause the rising death rate among mice can also influence people,” says the study author James Ruff of the University of Utah. Findings from this study reveal negative effects that are not as detectable as weight gain or heart problems. Sugar can contribute to long-term changes in the body that can affect development and even shorten lives.
Different types of sugar have different effects on the human body. Some of the sugar we consume comes from foods we might expect—candy, soda, and cookies. But much of the sugar that we eat is hidden. Food companies add large amounts of sugar to items we may not classify as sweets. To help cut down extra sugar consumption, nutrition experts suggest looking at the ingredients on food packages. Cutting sugar out of the American diet altogether may be difficult, but making every effort to control our nation's desire for sugar will avoid a sweeter future.
（1）The underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph1 probably means “__________”.
A.positive
B.harmful
C.doubtful
D.reasonable
（2）According to Paragraph2, we can know __________.
A.mice eating more sugar will live longer
B.the study on mice lasted less than a year
C.the study showed the bad effects of more sugar on mice
D.mice eating more sugar will become fatter and fatter
（3）Why did the scientists choose mice to do the study?
A.Because a substance may have the same effects on mice and humans.
B.Because mice have a longer lifespan(寿命) than other animals
C.Because mice can take in the harmful substances easily and quickly.
D.Because mice are sensitive to the sweet taste.
（4）It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.
A.sugar from candy, soda and cookies is helpful for us
B.we should never believe what food companies said
C.most types of sugar have similar effects on people
D.it's necessary to control people's wish for sugar

More and more Americans are showing an interest in healthy and locally-produced food. As the interest increases, raising chickens has been gaining popularity in some American cities.
“Look, we get three eggs this time.”
Collecting eggs is a daily pleasure for the Hurst family. Naomi Hurst says her family started to raise chickens in back of their home in Maryland a month ago.
“We have wanted to try having backyard chickens for a couple years now. And really just didn't have the time to build my own coop（鸡笼；鸡舍） and look out where to buy chickens. And then we met Rent a Coop,” said Naomi Hurst. Rent a Coop is a chicken rental business. Tyler Phillips launched the company with a partner 18 months ago. It comes with a mobile coop on wheels, two egg-laying hens, feed, bedding, water bowl, feed bowl, and our 24-hour chicken hotline. You can call with any questions. The price is 185 dollars for four weeks. After the four weeks passed, individuals can extend the rental agreement, return everything or purchase the animals and supplies.
Tyler Phillips designs and makes the coops. He says he wants to do as little damage as possible to the environment.
“We always try to have as many recycled materials as possible. And I want the coops to be safe for kids. I want the chickens to be comfortable and they have access to the grass while being inside the coop. I want it to be easily movable, light weight,” he said.
Some cities require people have large pieces of land, if they want to raise farm animals. Others require an agreement with neighbors, limit the number of chickens, or, even ban the birds.
Tyler Phillips expects that would change as interest in small poultry (家禽) coops grows.
“I see cities around the D. C. area changing laws almost monthly and different cities will change the law to being prochicken(赞成养鸡). That is happening all around the United States,” he said,
He believes that there will be chicken rental businesses in most American cities within five years.
（1）According to the passage people raise chickens probably to __________.
A.save the living cost
B.reduce farmers' burden
C.solve the employment problems
D.get safe and healthy food
（2）The Hurst family used to have trouble in ____________.
A.building a website for raising chickens
B.building the coops and buying the chickens
C.finding some place to raise the chickens
D.persuading the neighbours to accept their idea
（3）We can learn from the passage that __________.
A.you can enjoy the Rent a Coop service after 18 months
B.you can search online for any questions related to raising chickens
C.you can pay for keeping the supplies and the chickens for ever
D.you can pay 185 dollars a week for renting things to raise the chickens
（4）Tyler Phillips designed and made the coops ____________
A.based on the environmentally friendly concept.
B.based on the government's supporting policy.
C.to help advertise the organic and local food.
D.to meet his neighbors' need of raising chickens.

【题目】In Cairo, formal education is very important. There are twelve years of formal education in Egypt, and public schools are free, though the government does not have enough money. Many families can afford to send their children to private schools. Toward the end of high school, children planning to go to college should take an exam required. The results of that exam determine which college each student will attend and also which fields of study are open to that student. Top students can attend the American University in Cairo, which teaches its course in English. Other universities in the Cairo area include Cairo University, with over 30,000 students, Ain Shams University and Al–Azhar University. Many Children do not complete school or go on to college but learn a trade or apprenticeship in business instead.

Education comes from the family—this is where children learn about social values. The family is very important in Egyptian society. Though modern families are adopting the idea of the “nuclear family” common in the West, the traditional Egyptian family unit consists of parents, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws and all sorts of people. Even though the modern family unit tends to be smaller, families usually live close together and visit each other often.

Unlike in the West, children usually live with their parents until they get married, even through college. It is very rare that children move out and establish their independence before they get married. Usually, this only happens if the child goes abroad to save money before getting married. Many young Egyptian men work for a few years in the rich countries of the Persian Gulf, where wages are much higher than they are in Egypt, and this allows them to have a better start when they return to Egypt and get married.

【1】If Egyptian children graduate from high school, _______.

A. some of them will decide not to attend university

B. all of them will take an exam for entering collage

C. some of them want to attend university in America

D. many of them can’t afford their higher education

【2】If you are an excellent student, you will _______.

A. be sent to American universities for study

B. be admitted to Cairo University

C. take class taught in English in Cairo

D. get a high–paid job in the future

【3】Where do the Egyptian children learn about social values?

A. Egyptian society. B. The family.

C. The West. D. All sorts of people.

【4】In Egypt some young people go to the Persian Gulf because they_______.

A. need to gain rich experience there

B. want to establish their independence

C. intend to show respect for their parents

D. wish to have a better life in the future
