According to Wang's mother, Wang got up at 5:45 am and went to bed at 11:30pm every day during his three years at high school. Sitting down means a big challenge for Wang. Because of his illness, he always felt very tired after sitting for two classes, let alone seven or eight classes a day. But he seldom complained, and just fixed on studying.
The school gave Wang the greatest support. To make it easier for him to take lessons, his class was arranged in the school on the first floor. And that lasted for 3 years. The school also gave his mother a job as a cleaner and offered them free rooms to live in.
Luckily, Wang's hard efforts paid off. He was admitted into Nankai University in 2021. He decided to do something to repay the kindness he received.

March 21 is World Sleep Day. Here are some facts about sleep.
Sleep at advised times
In 2021, the Ministry of Education(MOE)advised that junior and senior high school students should go to bed before 10 pm and 11 pm respectively(分别的).
How do astronauts sleep
Just like on Earth, a person in space goes to bed at night and then wakes up the next day. But in space there is no up or down, and you do not feel the pull of gravity(重力). As a result, astronauts usually sleep in fixed sleeping bags.
Earworms happen while sleeping
Some people enjoy listening to music a lot. While we’re awake, the music we know well keeps ringing in our ears, which is called earworms(耳虫现象). This can happen during sleep as well, which could cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep.
Sleep with your pet
Pets, like dogs and cats, do not sleep continuously and they will often get up and walk on the bed, which can make you sleep even worse.
But recent studies found that having pets in the bed may help people who are often worried. The pets, like soft toys, can help cut down their worry.
Socks can help us sleep
Studies have shown that wearing socks to bed can help you fall asleep faster!
Hands and feet help exchange(交换)heat between the far ends of the body and the heart. Wearing socks means an increase of blood to your hands and feet, which cuts down your core(核心的)body temperature. The lower the core body temperature is, the faster you fall asleep.
36. According to MOE, junior high school students should _________.
A. go to bed before 10 pm B. go to bed before 11 pm
C. sleep at least 10 hours a day D. sleep at least 11 hours a day

第二部分 写作----范文
The results of the survey show that 17% of the students hardly ever practise speaking English. 45% of the students usually practise speaking English, 38% of the students practise speaking English sometimes. How do you practise speaking English Most students speak more only in class. Some of the students talk with friends in English. Some students practise speaking English in other ways.
In my opinion, we should talk with our partners in English as much as we can. Also, we should often listen to English stories in order to improve our understanding about English. Never be afraid of speaking English in front of others! This is quite important. Over and above, we should learn more English words. Only in this way, can we be good English speaker!
