I have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later “Amazing!” a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness which is really unbelievable. Until today I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I can not wipe out forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination, but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasingly unbelievable and satisfied. So it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.

A. Nearly 6 o’clock. B. Nearly 5 o’clock.
C. About 4 o’clock. D. About 3 o’clock.
25. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “chilly” in paragraph two?
A. Terrible. B. Interesting. C. Total. D. Cold
26. What’s the author’s attitude towards waiting for the sunrise?
A. Afraid all the time. B. Excited all the time.
C. Firstly excited then impatient. D. Firstly excited then afraid.
27. What does the author want to tell us by this passage?
A. His friends and he took a trip to Hawaii.
B. He enjoyed the most flaming sunrise in his life.
C. Sometimes it is worthwhile to wait for the best.
D. Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise.

Hundreds of children are being treated for sleep problems in Wales every year. In some cases, babies, infants and teenagers have been admitted to hospital in north Wales alone.
The Children’s Sleep Charity said many children were suffering from lack of sleep mainly because of technology use. Pubic Health Wales said sleep was as important to a child’s health as heathy eating and exercise, and children with poor sleep patterns were more likely to be fat.
Statistics obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by BBC Wales found at least 408 children have been admitted to hospital across Wales suffering from sleep disorders since March 2013.
Children aged between 0 and 4 made up the highest number of inpatients, with some newborns being treated for sleep-related problems from the day of birth.
Vicki Dawson, who net up the Children’s Sleep Charity (CSC), said sleepless nights were putting both children and parents in anxiety. “Their wright and growth may also be affected as well as their mental health.” she said.
Teachers said children showing signs of sleep shortage and tiredness in class were a concern as they couldn’t concentrate for long periods.
Psychologist Amy McClelland, of Sleep Wales, said a common problem was that children were “over excited” and “not having the chance to relax properly” before bed and that families should get back to basics. “Think 1950s family home. Dinner as a family, read, chat, a film maybe, lights off and then bed.” She added.
28. What’s the main reason why children are short of sleep?
A. Sleep patterns. B. Less exercise. C. Technology use. D. Eating habits.
29. Who are the majority of the inpatients with sleep-related disorders?
A. Infants. B. Teenagers. C. Parents. D. Teachers.
30. What can we infer from what Amy McClelland said?
A. Being too excited is good for sleep habits.
B. It is difficult for children to read before bed.
C. Relaxation has a bad effect on children.
D. Chatting and films make children sleep more.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Sleep Habits of Welsh Children B. Ways to Treat Sleep Problems
C. Sleep Problems of Welsh Children D. The Problems of Welsh Children
