Ⅴ.阅读理解
In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!
Not all past predictions have been proven wrong. A few of them have been surprisingly accurate. Some great thinkers predicted the arrival of the credit card, the fax machine and even the Internet years before they happened. But for each prediction that has come true, some others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn't consider how people would want to use the technology, or whether people really needed it in their lives or not. Let's look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.
Robot helpers
Where's the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he's probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other working environments.Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people's homes.So why hasn't it happened? Maybe because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And probably the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too strange. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
Telephones of tomorrow
In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn't caught on yet. Why? The technology worked fine, but it overlooked something obvious: people desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower? Probably not—it could be uncomfortable! Just because technology doesn't always mean people will want to use it.
And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It's not so crazy any more! But a flying car remains one of the most wonderful technology ideas to catch our imagination. Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring.
1．The passage mainly deals with________.
A. predictions that can catch our imagination
B. predictions that haven't come true
C. new technology that can benefit our life
D. predictions that have come true
2．According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Technology doesn't always mean people will want to use it.
B. Predictions don't need to consider people's practical use of the technology.
C. Not all the high-tech things people thought we'd be using by now are widely used.
D. High-tech things are not always convenient to people's life.
3．Robot helpers haven't been used in most people's homes because________.
A. using the kind of robots at home is simply a waste of time and money
B. the kind of robots hasn't been developed yet
C. people find it difficult to control the kind of robots
D. the kind of robots won't bring people practical use
4．How does the writer find the flying car?
A. It is too difficult to imagine.
B. It is too crazy an idea to realize.
C. It is likely to appear in the future.
D. It has been the focus of the news.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt people when it burnt, children would play with it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn't, a child would burn himself or herself again and again, because fear would not warn himself or herself to keep away from the fire that had burnt himself or herself before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist, is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out.
In our first sentence we suggested that fear should be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe, an aeroplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer!
The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.
In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you. Fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.
In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you can't prevent an aeroplane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.
1．Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if ________.
A. they were given no warning beforehand
B. they had never burnt themselves
C. they had no sense of pain
D. they were fearful of the fire
2．A really fearless soldier ________.
A. is of great use to the army
B. is a real soldier
C. is nothing but a dead soldier
D. easily gets killed in a battle
3．People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding the danger because ________.
A. they have gained experience
B. they jump out of the way in time
C. they are calm in the face of danger
D. they are warned of the danger by fear and take quick action
4．What's the writer's suggestion when the danger can't be avoided?
A. You have to try to overcome it.
B. Fear can really help you to run away.
C. Fear always helps you stay safe.
D. Fear is of great use to you.

Dear Sir，
I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this route—No.49 and No.16. However, by the time No.16 reaches Souk Road, it's always full. __1__ The timetable states that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes.__2__ The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting.__3__
The instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday, I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. __4__ There were 129 of them.

It is obvious that our bus companies have neither respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers. Can nothing be done about this?

UK education is all about giving you inspiration to develop your knowledge and skills, freedom to be creative, and support to help you achieve your best.
On a UK course you will benefit from excellent teaching and facilities. In order to accept students, UK education centres must meet strict quality standards set by the UK government and education bodies.
With such a good reputation for research and education, universities and colleges in the UK attract some of the world's leading academics and professionals. You will be encouraged to express your own ideas and think for yourself.
The attention to quality is reflected in the UK's excellent results：four of the top six universities in the world are in the UK.
The UK is a world-leading research nation. 54% of the research conducted by UK universities and colleges is classed as either “world-leading” or “internationally excellent”．
At the most recent inspection, 97% of further education colleges were judged satisfactory or better, for their overall effectiveness.
In the recent BIS Tracking International Graduate Outcomes survey, more than 88% of international higher education graduates said they were satisfied with their UK learning experiences.
Likewise, in the Higher Education Academy Postgraduate Taught Experience survey of UK postgraduate students, 93% rated the quality of teaching positively.
For English language students, you'll find the UK has long been at the forefront of language teaching, and pioneered many of the techniques now used around the world. The emphasis is on learning the language through fun and participation: instead of just listening to your teacher, your classes will involve games, problem-solving and discussions. You might also listen to songs, watch television or read magazines to practise your comprehension skills.
The UK's boarding schools also offer excellent teaching, facilities and support. At UK independent schools (most boarding schools are independent), a teacher has just 9.4 pupils on average, so teachers have more time to give you individual support. This is reflected in the results: 91% of students from UK independent schools go on to higher education.
1．What do the education centres do to accept students?
A. To develop knowledge and skills.
B. To help achieve your best.
C. To meet strict quality standards.
D. To benefit from excellent teaching.
2．How many foreign students are said to be satisfied with their learning experiences in the UK?
A. About 97%. B. Below 54%.
C. 93% or so. D. Over 88%.
3．How do the students learn English in the UK?
A. By listening to the teacher.
B. By working in the class.
C. By teachers' support.
D. By playing and discussing.
4．What's the purpose of the author to write this passage?
A. To introduce the education in the UK.
B. To make their students love the UK.
C. To attract foreign students.
D. To show his pride in the UK.

Harvard University in the United States has been ranked as the university with the best “reputation” in the world.
The Times Higher Education magazine has listed 200 top universities all over the world based on how they are regarded by a group of international college teachers. That is to say the list measures how universities are regarded, rather than how they actually perform.
“A subjective, word-of-mouth(口碑的)quality such as ‘reputation’ has genuine economic value for universities，” said Simon Marginson, professor of higher education at the University of Melbourne in Australia.
“Reputation is not just an impression, though it might be not as reliable as performance by objective indicators(客观指标)，” said Professor Marginson.
Based on the views of 13,000 college teachers around the world, it confirms the power of the US universities, which dominates this list. Seven of the top 10 are US universities, headed by Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Furthermore, 14 of the top 20 are from the US. Cambridge is the highest ranking UK university on the list, in third place, with Oxford ranked as sixth.
“For students applying to universities, reputation may be hard to quantify, but it is an important part of the attractiveness，” said the president of Cambridge University's students' union, Rahul Mansigani.
“Reputation makes a huge difference. If there is an idea that somewhere is great, it will get lots of good people applying whether it's true or not. Factors such as a sense of history and the presence of outstanding college teachers are part of the reputation of Cambridge，” he said.
5．The underlined word “dominates” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”．
A． affects B． decides
C． controls D． improves
6．What can be inferred from the text?
A. No Asian universities are among the top 10.
B. At least five UK universities are among the top 20.
C. The Times Higher Education magazine is from the US.
D. Reputation affects students' decisions when choosing universities.
7．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Turning ideas into reputation
B. World's best universities ranked in order of reputation
C. The top 200 universities in the US
D. Reputable universities are attractive to more students

2．B 推理判断题。根据段落中描述的预测未实现的原因可知选B。
3．D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Maybe because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And probably the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too strange. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.”可知，家用机器人在很多方面还不够实用，故选D。
4．C 推理判断题。根据“It's not so crazy any more！But a flying car remains one of the most wonderful technology ideas to catch our imagination. Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring.”可知，作者认为随着科技的快速发展，飞车的预测很快就会实现，故选C。
Ⅵ.1.used 句子有谓语，the English language 和use之间是被动关系，故用过去分词used。
2．difference 不定冠词用在名词前面，different是形容词，所以用名词difference。
3．the 这里指“因为美国英语的广泛使用”，特指美国英语的使用，故填the。
4．ones 句意：很多英国人开始用一些美国的单词代替英国的一些单词。为避免重复，用ones代替“words”，所以填ones。
5．that/which 这是一个There be 句型，many other words 是先行词，指物，后面是一个定语从句，句子缺主语。句意：也有很多其他正在被替代的单词。故填that/which。
6．when 这是一个There be 句型，times 是先行词“指时间”， 后面是一个定语从句，缺引导词，故填when。
7．to be similar to…与……相似。故填to。
8．adding enjoy doing sth享受做某事。故填adding。
9．It 有趣的是很多说英国英语的人欣赏美国口音。根据句意此处应该用it作形式主语，后面的that从句作真正的主语，故填It。
10．simply 与此同时，很多说美国英语的人只是喜欢英国口音。副词修饰动词，simple是形容词，所以此处用副词simply。

Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了恐惧和疼痛是人类与动物最有用的两个事物，我们要正确地利用它们，不要过于害怕，也不要无所畏惧，危险之时，恐惧给你的提示能让你做出对自己有利的决定。
1．C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“If fire did not hurt people when it burnt, children would play with it until their hands were burnt away.”可知，如果火在燃烧的时候不会使人受伤，孩子们会一直玩火直到他们的手被烧坏。故选C。
2．D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第四句“A really fearless soldier—and some do exist, is not a good soldier because he is soon killed…”可知，一个真正无畏的战士，的确存在，他不是好战士因为很快他就会被杀死。故选D。

4．A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.”可知，在这种情况下，恐惧已经给过你提示，你需要仔细检查并且决定你的行动。于是恐惧这种危险已经对你没有用，你需要努力去克服它。故选A。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 该文是一篇抱怨信，属于说明文范畴。抱怨公共巴士不遵守既定规则，超载顾客还超速行驶，导致了作者的不便。
1．E 根据所缺句子的前一句“However, by the time No.16 reaches Souk Road, it's always full.”知然而，当16路车到达Souk路的时候，车上总是满的。结合选项分析，这种情况导致了49路车有时候有一些空位。故选E。
2．F 根据该空前一句“The timetable states that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes.”可知，时间表表明从Souk路到机场的巴士每十分钟就有一辆。由于这是一封抱怨信，这一句可以成为下一句提出疑问的理由。结合选项分析，如果是真的话，为什么“我”几乎每天都需要等半个小时呢？故选F。
3．G 该空前一句“The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting.”表明，如果车上有空座位，巴士必须在人们等待的每一站停留。根据这一句，可以分析出下一句跟车不停有关，故选G。
4．A 根据该空后一句“There were 129 of them.”可以推断出前一句一定是和人数有关的词，故选A项。当其他乘客下车时“我”数了数下车的人数。
5．D 结合该段可知，作者是在分析车的时速。该段落中列举了规定的最高时速以及该段路程的实际行车时间，还需要这一段路的距离才能进行比对，故选D。

过去分词作宾语补足语
过去分词作宾语补足语时表明宾语是过去分词动作的对象，过去分词与宾语之间有逻辑上的动宾关系。在高中阶段主要有以下几种情况：
1．感官动词see, hear, notice, observe，watch，feel，find等后可用过去分词作宾语补足语。如：
I saw an old man knocked down by a car.
我看到一位老人被车撞倒了。
[注意] 在此类“动词＋宾语＋宾语补足语”的结构中，如用过去分词作宾语补足语，表示过去分词的动作与宾语构成动宾关系或所处的状态。(用现在分词作宾语补足语表示动作正在进行且与宾语构成主谓关系。)Period Three │ 语法归纳2．意欲动词want，like，wish，order，expect等动词后接过去分词作宾语补足语，相当于过去分词前省略了to be，表示“希望/要求某事/某人被……”。如：
The father wants his daughter taught the piano.
这位父亲想让女儿学钢琴。
I'd like the job done when I come back from the journey.我希望我旅行回来时，这项工作已经做了。
3．使役动词have, get, make, leave, keep等后可用过去分词作宾语补足语。如：
Have you got your films developed?
你拿胶卷去冲洗了没有？Period Three │语法归纳The speaker raised his voice but still couldn't make himself heard.
演讲者提高嗓音但还是不能让听众听到他的声音。
[注意] “使役动词have＋宾语＋过去分词”的几种含义：
(1)主语请别人做某事 如：
He wants to have his eyes examined tomorrow.
他明天想去检查眼睛。
(2)主语遭遇到某种不幸的事情 如：
While they were on holiday，they had their car broken into.他们在度假时车被撬了。Period Three │语法归纳(3)使完成某事(事情既可以是别人做完，也可以由主语参与完成) 如：
He had the walls painted this morning.
他今早给墙刷漆了。(主语自己可能参与)
4．在“with＋名词/代词＋过去分词”的复合宾语结构中，过去分词表示被动意义，过去分词与宾语在逻辑上是动宾关系。如：
With all the work done，I feel very relaxed now.
所有的工作都做完了，我现在感到非常放松。
An old man was brought in，with his hands tied behind his back.一个老人被带了进来，他的双手被绑在背后。Period Three │语法归纳[注意] 过去分词与现在分词作宾语补足语的区别：
一般说来，过去分词作宾语补足语时，与宾语在逻辑上是动宾关系，现在分词则是主谓关系。如：
I saw her coming into the classroom.
我看见她正进教室。(her和come是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示“进来”这一动作正在发生)
I saw her taken out of the classroom.
我看见她被人从教室里带了出来。(take和her是逻辑上的动宾关系，表示“她是被带出来的”这一动作)Period Three │语法归纳With a local guide leading the way，we had no difficulty finding the old temple.
由当地的一位导游带路，我们毫不费事地找到了那座古庙。
(guide和lead之间是主动关系，因此用现在分词)
With the problem settled，he could finally have a good sleep.
问题得以解决，他终于可以好好睡一觉了。(problem和settle之间是被动关系，因此用过去分词)Period Three │语法归纳【活学活用】

5．表示解释、说明关系

You must know what BYD stands for? Yes, Build Your Dream. Have you built your dream and spared no effort to achieve it? Here is an inspiring story from http//www.naijamotiveation.com.
Eddie Arcaro dreamed of becoming the world's greatest jockey(赛马骑师). But after watching him ride a horse for five minutes, reality reflected a rough contradiction. He was awkward and clumsy, and in his early years in the saddle(马鞍)he couldn't do one thing right.
In his first 100 races he never even came close to winning. Still, he got right back on and trained again. Even as a schoolboy, Arcaro had set his own track in life. Because he was only a little over five feet tall (1.5 metres) and weighed barely 80 pounds (36kg), the other students picked_on him. So he skipped school, hanging out at the local race track where a trainer let him ride horses.
His father reluctantly agreed to let him pursue a career as a jockey. The trainer had told him so. “Send him back to school，” he said. “He'll never be a rider.” In spite of that, Arcaro was determined not just to ride, but to become the world's greatest jockey. But first someone would have to give him a chance.
He finally got to ride in a real race. Before it was over, he'd lost his whip and his cap and had almost fallen off the saddle. By the time he finished the race, the other horses were on their way to the stables(马厩). He'd come in dead last. Nevertheless, Arcaro went from track to track, looking for any opportunity to ride.
Finally, a trainer who pitied him took him in and gave him a chance. One hundred losses later, he was still giving him chances. He saw something in this unlucky jockey, something he couldn't define.
There were many brushes with death and several broken bones. Every time he would return to the saddle. Then Arcaro began to win. In thirty years of riding, he won 4,779 races, becoming the only jockey in history to win the Kentucky Derby five times. By the time he retired in 1962 he was a millionaire and a legend in his own lifetime.
1．The underlined phrase “picked on” in the passage probably means “________”．
A. paid attention to B. made fun of
C. offered help to D. took special care of

A. Arcaro had shown great talents in horse racing
B. he thought all that Arcaro needed was a bit of luck
C. he had sympathy for Arcaro for his unfortunate experiences
D. he was impressed by the way Arcaro stuck to his dream
3．The key message the author wants to convey through the passage is that ________.
A. a man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds
B. you can't stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf
C. winners in life set goals and follow through on them
D. life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing well those you hold
4．Which of the following would be the most proper title for the passage?
A. The man with the one track mind
B. A star with many skills
C. An inspiring website story
D. Inspiration is around us

Ⅱ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个身材矮小、瘦弱的人通过设定目标并且朝着目标努力，最终获得了梦想的机会并且实现了自己的梦想。以此告诉我们有梦想且不断努力就有可能实现梦想。
1．B 词义猜测题。由该词所在第三段的原句“Because he was only a little over five feet tall (1.5 metres) and weighed barely 80 pounds (36kg), the other students picked on him.”(因为他只有1.5米多的身高，体重接近36公斤，其他的同学都捉弄他。)由此可以得知，他的体型很小，是很瘦弱的一个人，作为一名赛马骑师来说，身体条件比较差。所以可以推断出其他人对他是歧视、取笑的态度。故选B。
2．D 推理判断题。从文中来看，教练想让Arcaro回学校去，并且说他不可能成为一个赛马骑师。但Arcaro决定不仅练习骑术还要成为世界上最伟大的骑手。一位教练看到了他对于梦想的追求，所以给了他机会，故选D。
3．C 推理判断题。从全文来看，文章描写了一个身材矮小、瘦弱的人通过设定目标并且朝着目标努力，最终得到了梦想的机会并且实现了自己的梦想，故选C。
4．A 主旨大意题。根据全文来看，文章描写了一个身体素质不适合的人，为了实现自己的梦想，设定目标并为之努力奋斗，最后成功拿到很多奖项，成就了自己的传奇的人生，相比之下A更合适。

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn't too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in their house, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she'd give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn't often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证) if I wanted to work with children. I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I've got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that I could have a career, even if I am not the top of the class at school.

There was once an old wise man living on the top of a mountain. Whenever the villagers had a problem, they would climb up the mountain and ask the old man for advice.
One day a young man arrived. “Wise man，” he asked, “what makes a man truly great？”
The old man said, “Do you sincerely want to know？”
“Yes, yes！” the young man replied.
“Well，” the wise old man said to him, “let me tell you in the form of a story.”
There was once a Greek man who suffered from a deadly disease. Knowing that he would die soon, he was the first to join the army when his country was in a battle with the enemy. Hoping to die in the battle, he would fight in the front line, risking himself without any worry for his life. Finally they won the battle and he was still alive. His general(将军) was so impressed with his bravery which contributed much to the victory.
The general decided to promote him and award him with medals of bravery and honour. On the day of presentation(授予仪式), he was looking very down and sad.

So the general hired the best physician and finally cured the soldier. But from that day on, the once valiant soldier was no longer seen at the front.

Fear is an emotion like others such as happiness, anger, hurt and sadness. We need emotions to process the information we receive and decide how to respond. Being afraid of fast cars, for example, is something that might protect us from harm. Being afraid of the consequence of a choice may prevent us getting into trouble.
Fears in young children commonly centre on certain animals like snakes or big dogs. Fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others, and at times, the media. Many normal fears during the early years, like men with beards, or large dogs, disappear with age. Those relating to personal failure and ridicule(嘲笑) remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome.
Children's fears are often trivial,_but that doesn't mean they should be ignored. They need to be recognized and accepted as real for children. Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to deal with them.
Research shows that as a child grows up, the centre of his fears changes a lot. Things like divorce, a teacher who “shouted at me”， people with guns, bullies, big boys, or “making fun of me” top the list of childhood fears.
We cannot always prevent these experiences from happening, but it's essential that children be allowed to freely express their emotions without judgement. Sympathy and a caring listener will help ease the pain of these fears. Read books and stories to your child about children who have experienced similar fears. This helps children talk about their fears and find ways to cope. With all emotions, fears become less of a problem for children as they gain self-confidence and they find that fear is normal and can be dealt with.
9．The underlined word “trivial” in the third paragraph probably means “________”．
A. small B. serious
C. harmful D. common
10．From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. some childhood fears may have a lasting influence
B. children should avoid the media to reduce their fears
C. fears can be judged according to the environment
D. children with similar fears can communicate easily
11．What's the best title for this passage?
A. How to overcome children's fears
B. Children's fears
C. The kind of children's fears
D. The bad effects of fears
D
Believe it or not, there're always some people who like staying up too late. However, sleeping early can bring us many benefits.
1. Healthy heart. Staying up late in the night is a way to hurt your body with high blood pressure and cholesterol(胆固醇). These are the risks associated with the heart.
2. Reduce stress. A peaceful sleep in the night relieves physical and mental stress. It relaxes the body and mind. With insufficient sleep you're risking your health with heart attacks and other diseases.
3. Improve memory. Sleeping early lets your mind arrange the thoughts well. Waking up early with a fresh mind will regain all of them.
4. Protect you from diseases. By sleeping late in the night you're only stressing yourself, which will increase the blood pressure and cholesterol levels. So sleep early and let your body keep the pressure levels constant.
5. Breakfast is very important to start the day. Most of the time as we wake up late we miss it.
6. Positive performance. Sleeping continuously for at least 7 hours in the night is necessary. Inadequate sleep will limit your ability to think creatively, handle stress and concentrate.
7. Help metabolism(新陈代谢). Our body needs to send away all the unwanted waste. Sleeping through the day till noon will disorganize the exile(排泄). We need to eat and sleep on time to keep energy.
8. Reduce the risk of cancer. Sleep in the dark. Light in the night reduces the melatonin(褪黑激素) level which's supposed to cause sleep and prevent the risk of cancer.
9. Increase energy. Sleeping early will let you complete your 7 hours of sleep and make you fresh the next morning. It gives you the energy to perform better.
