LONG, long ago, a king had a big rock placed(放置) in the middle of a very busy road. Then he hid nearby to see if anyone would move the rock out of the way to make it convenient for others. Some of the king’s wealthiest supporters came past and simply walked around it. Many others complained(抱怨) about the rock and some blamed (责备) the king for the problem. To the king’s surprise, no one did anything about moving it out of the way.
Finally, a poor farmer came along, carrying a load of old vegetables. When he saw the rock, he put down his load, and tried to move the heavy rock to the side of the road. No one stopped to help him. Many laughed at him and made jokes as they walked past. Finally, after much pushing and straining, and with no help, the farmer managed to get the rock to the side of the road. As he bent down to pick up his vegetables, he noticed a small bag lying in the road, exactly where the rock had been. There was a lot of money and a note in the bag. The note was from the king saying that the money was for the person who moved the rock out of the way.
Taking responsibility (责任) is about solving hard problems. The farmer takes responsibility when no one else is prepared to. It does not always mean that you will get an instant reward, but it is a value that builds up a community, and makes life better for all of us.

JAMES shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed. All that he had was $24.52 (about 153 yuan). The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! How on earth (究竟) was he going to get the rest of the money
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out (闲逛) with people when you were the only one without a bicycle. He thought about what he could do. There was no point asking his parents, for he knew they had no extra money.
There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice.
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr. Clay. “You see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”
That was the beginning of James’ part-time job. For the next three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks, cleared out cupboards and mended books.
The day finally came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard working for the money, but James knew that he valued(珍惜) his bicycle far more because he had bought it with his own money. He had achieved what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.
( )6. Why didn’t James ask his parents for help
A. Because they didn’t have extra money. B. Because they didn’t love him.
C. Because they lived far away from him. D. Because they didn’t need a bike.

Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. However, many Chinese do not sleep well, and many do not pay enough attention to(注意) sleep.
The Chinese Medical Doctor Association released the 2013 China Sleep Quality Index(指数) on March 19 to mark World Sleep Day – March 21.
According to the index, nearly a quarter of Chinese people don’t sleep well. Half said that they feel tired after getting up and 15 percent people have problems falling asleep.
Ye Jingying, a sleep expert(专家) at Beijing Tongren Hospital, says: “If people often wake up during the night, or always feel weak and tired in the day, they should pay attention to their sleep pattern (模式).”
Many people play with their mobile phones or iPads before sleeping. The report said that this is one of the main reasons for bad sleep. Other reasons include stress(压力) and bad moods(心情).
How to sleep well Above all, get enough sleep. Seven to nine hours of sleep every night is good for an adult, and eight to nine hours is best for a teenager.
Forming good sleep habits is important. The report suggested that people need to keep away from digital devices(数码产品) for at least an hour before sleep. The lights keep their brains excited for a long while. Other suggestions include: try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays, and do the same relaxing things before bed each night, like listening to soft music.
( )11. From Paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT true
A. Sleep is very important for our body and brain. B. The longer you sleep the better.
C. Many Chinese people don’t sleep well. D. Many Chinese people don’t care about sleep.
( )12. Which of the following does not mean that you sleep badly
A. You feel tired after getting up. B. You need a long time to fall asleep.
C. You wake up several times during the night. D. You can remember a dream from last night.
( )13. _______ hours a day is best for a teenager to get enough sleep.
A. Five to eight B. Eight to nine C. Seven to nine D. Nine to twelve
( )14. From the article, which of the following may NOT cause sleeping problems
A. Playing with digital devices before sleeping.
B. Being under strong stress about their life or work.
C. Having sad or angry feelings. D. Reading a book late at night.
( )15. Which of the following helps teenagers sleep well
A. They should sleep for no more than eight hours a day.
