三、阅读理解（共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分）
【A】
In the morning, a grandfather took his grandson to a school. When the boy and his grandfather went into the playground, some children came up.
“What a funny old man!” one boy said, making a face.
“Hey, fatty (胖子),” another one shouted.
The children jeered at them and jumped up and down.
Without saying a word, the old man took his grandson out of the school gate. “Wonderful! I don’t have to go to school!” the boy said.
“You do, but not this one,” his grandfather replied. “I’ll find you a school myself.” The grandfather took his grandson back to his own house, asked the boy’s grandmother to look after him, and then went out to look for a school himself.
Every time he got to a school, the old man went into a playground, and waited for the children to come out at break time. In some schools the children completely ignored (不理会) the old man, and in others, they made fun of him. When this happened, he would turn sad and go home. Finally, he went into the very small playground of a very small school, and stood tiredly against the wall. The bell rang, and the children got out into the playground.
“Sir, are you all right Shall I get you something to drink ” a voice said.
“We’ve got a bench in the playground — come and sit down,” came another voice.
Soon a young teacher came out into the playground. The old man greeted him and said, “Finally, I’ve found my grandson the best school in town.”

【B】
March 16 is International Sleep Day. And we should all celebrate the act of sleeping. Researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning. But what about getting rest during the middle of the day
A recent study on napping (小睡) says short periods of sleep may help our brains work better. Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better. And napping can help brain performance in older adults. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off memory loss because of the increase in their age.
Many Americans do nap. But one-third of all adults in the United States are also chronically (长期的) tired, says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It found that 50 million to 70 million Americans have chronic sleep disorders(紊乱). However, they seem to be unwilling to tell people that they take a nap. They may think that napping shows they are weak or they don't have enough energy. It is not an uncommon opinion that only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap. In fact.Americans sometimes do a very strange thing. Some people brag about how few hours of sleep they need each night to show that they are somehow stronger than the average human — superhuman, if you will. However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms and napping cafes (咖啡馆) are appearing in many U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C.
Remember that an hour long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. It is recommended that 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure (压力) to sleep and will help people feel more awake. If people nap longer, they will get trapped into deep sleep, which can be hard to get out of. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, limit your daytime nap to under 45 minutes. Also nap before 3 p.m.
5. Who are this group of people in Paragraph 2
A. The babies. B. The children. C. The older adults. D. The young people.
6. The underlined word brag in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. chat sadly B. talk proudly C. whisper secretly D. speak politely
7. Why are some Americans unwilling to tell people that they take a nap
A. Because 50 million to 70 million Americans have chronic sleep disorders.
B. Because it may make them seem weak.
C. Because it is common for Americans to take a nap.
D. Because only the old, the sick and children need a nap.
8. For a young man with sleep problems, it is good to ________.
A. take a 40-minute-long noon nap B. take a nap whenever he feels sleepy
C. take a one-hour-long nap after dinner D. take a 30-minute-long nap in the evening
