二、阅读理解
There are many colours in nature. But do you know if a colour has weight I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs(感觉器官).
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colours.
1. The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us _____.
A. a red box is heavier than a white one B. a colour has weight in one’s mind
C. white paper is lighter than red paper D. you can know the weight of a colour by holding it
2. Why did the scientist say colours have smell
A. Because people can sense the light from colours.
B. Because we can smell colours with our nose.
C. Because every colour has its own sweet smell.
D. Because every colour can give off light of the same length.
3. If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will _____.
A. rise B. fall C. stay the same D. change now and then
4. This passage is probably a _____.
A. book review B. fiction novel C. fairy tale D. science report

Sleep plays an important role in our life. A lack of sleep can influence our ability to work and study.
Sleeping hours
Normal people need 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. But for teenagers, a healthy amount(数量)is about 8 to 10 hours. Sadly, only 1/3 of people manage that.
The most tiring moments
Tiredness usually reaches its highest twice a day, at 2 a.m. and 2 p.m. That explains why students easily fall asleep in afternoon classes. So sleeping at noon for a while helps us work better in the rest of the day.
Bad influences
People can make mistakes if they don’t get enough sleep. Students cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Drivers who have fallen asleep while driving have caused 1%﹣10% of the traffic accidents in our life. And we can imagine what will happen if a doctor feels sleepy at the operating table!
Good sleeping habits
There are several ways that can help us sleep better, such as avoiding drinks that make us excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet and warm.
Title: Some 1 About Sleep
It is important to have a good sleep in our life.
Sleeping hours It is 2 for people to have 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. Teenagers need even more hours of sleep.
The most tiring moments There are two most tiring moments in a day. Sleeping at noon for a while is 3 to us.
Bad influences People can make mistakes 4 enough sleep.
Good sleeping habits 5 drinking something that can make us too excited. Go to sleep at the same time each night. Sleep in a dark, quiet and warm place to make yourself comfortable.

My 100 Days Without a Mobile Phone
When was the last time you left home without your mobile phone Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time
As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities, I just cannot afford to not be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothersome (恼人的).
One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications (通知) off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone.
Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted (分心的) with, and the worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me.
However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes — changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to reorganize some of my habits.
First of all, I noticed that I became much more focused (专注的). Before, while doing something, I would often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that the urge (冲动) was already not that strong and that my ability to focus improved.
I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I sensed the seasons change. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares.
Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible.
1.Why did the writer check the phone more often than before when he was terribly tired out
2.What changes did the writer have after three weeks without a mobile phone
3.Would you like to follow the writer’s example Why or why not (Please give two reasons.)
