If your sleep quality is poor, you may find that you still feel tired after getting what should be considered enough.

Cheng Yuyan never expected that the interest group “We Love Strolling in the Park”, which she created by accident on Douban, a Chinese social media platform, four years ago, would now reach 100,000 members.
According to the 25-year-old from Shanghai, creating this group was just an accidental decision, and she didn’t spend much time in it afterwards. However, park lovers from all over China and even overseas have voluntarily made it their gathering place. People share park experiences, post photos taken in parks, and offer recommendations and reviews about parks.
“The growth of this group is the result of organic (绿色的) development, just like a park, where people naturally come together. The rise in member numbers also shows the increasingly important role that parks are playing in people’s lives,” Cheng said.
Within this group, there is a saying called “20 minutes for parks”, which comes from a theory (理论) in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research. According to the theory, spending 20 minutes in a park daily helps to reduce stress, no matter whether people exercise in it or simply take a walk.
With the help of social media, the theory has been receiving popularity among a great number of young people in China. Huang Bingbing from Shenzhen, Guangdong province, is a follower of this idea.
She said that Shenzhen has many parks between office buildings. Over three years ago, when she was still working at an advertising company, she used to visit the small park downstairs during her weekday lunch breaks. “On the grass, I could connect with living plants and animals, allowing me to refresh my mind and recover from the stress of the workplace,” Huang said.
4.What did Cheng Yuyan think of her interest group
A.It surely attracted people. B.It was a serious decision.
C.It took her much effort. D.It got an unexpected result.
5.What does Cheng want to express in paragraph 3
A.People’s love for parks. B.The rise of the group number .
C.People’s changes of lifestyles. D.The benefit of green development.
6.Why is the theory becoming more popular among the youth
A.The pull of the online media. B.Their need for more experience.
C.The heavy load of their work. D.Their easy acceptance of new ideas.
7.What can we learn from Cheng Yuyan’s story
A.Hard work pays off. B.Great minds think alike.
C.A small thing makes a difference. D.Success comes from joint efforts.
C
Facebook parent company Meta recently showed how the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tool can translate between English and the Hokkien language. Its project required different, unusual development methods. That is because Hokkien is mainly a spoken language. It does not have a widely used written form.
Generally, developers of translation systems train AI models on very large amounts of written text in the target languages. This arms the system with many different language examples and combinations in an effort to produce the most correct results.
In general, AI-powered translation systems have improved greatly in recent years. It is now easier than ever to get translation help online or on devices to make international communication better. But one problem with such systems is that there are delays linked to the translation process. For example, when the system records spoken speech, the words are first converted into text and then translated by an AI system. Then, the translated words are converted back into speech so they can be heard.
The unusual part of the Meta project is that the development team did not have large amounts of Hokkien language text to feed into the AI system.
Hokkien is a dialect of Chinese. It is spoken by millions of people in Fujian Province and Taiwan. Additionally, it is also widely spoken in some areas in Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. Generally, families passed down the language throughout the generations.
Meta said it used several different methods to create the new system to translate to and from Hokkien and English. The team trained its AI models on written text examples from another version of Chinese, Mandarin, which is similar to Hokkien. In addition, Méta developers used an encoding tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. The team also worked closely with Hokkien speakers to make sure the results were correct.
The company said, however, that its Hokkien translation model is still a work in progress. It noted that the system is only able to translate one full sentence at a time at the moment.
8.What makes Meta’s project of translating Hokkien unusual
A.The lack of its written form. B.The special Chinese writing system.
C.The limited speakers of Hokkien. D.The complex language examples and combinations.
9.What does the underlined word “converted” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Transformed. B.Guided. C.Sorted. D.Returned.
10.What do AI-powered translation systems fail to do now
A.Get everyone to have access to online translation.
B.Use devices to communicate internationally.
C.Provide a real time translation at any place.
D.Produce the most correct translation results
11.What is the main idea of the sixth paragraph
A.How Mandarin is similar to Hokkien. B.How Hokkien speakers speak Hokkien.
C.How English text is translated into Hokkien. D.How Meta’s translation system translates Hokkien.

I remember clearly my first pineapple on ice at a corner deli in New York. It was on the north-east corner of Columbus and 57th Street, a store filled with flowers and fresh produce that stayed open all night. In my first flush of enthusiasm for the new city, everything about that deli seemed great. Abundance! Convenience! Pineapple, freshly cut and packaged on ice! A lasting memory.
It has been 15 years since then. Corner delis remain, but under pain of competition from a new generation of delivery alternatives like GoPuff and Getir that promise to deliver any item within 15 minutes, getting up off the sofa to walk half a block for some milk is a long past. One ingredient down for your dishes No need to turn off your stove and put on your shoes! Instead, for a small fee, order a person to your door bearing a single can of chickpeas. LEGS NO MORE!
The downfall of old services , and the reversal(反转) of the consumption style are affecting the city landscape at all levels. As a multibillion dollar business, hyper- fast delivery is tearing at breakneck speed to make tiny delivery windows. It not only means more bikes on the streets, large areas of real estate(房地产) are being turned over to “dark stores” that you walk past every day but can only buy via an app once you’re home.
The threat to New York’s symbolic delis remains to be seen. Although nearly every business, from diners to bookshops, has closed their doors over the last 10 years, only the New York delis remain largely untouched. Still, the pressure must be intense.
Instant delivery is making us even lazier and more useless as people, of which I am not proud. Last week, when running out of milk, I ordered the delivery of a single coffee from Starbucks. I gave myself a pass because it was coffee. But if these things are quicker and more convenient, they’re also sadder and stripped of the bare minimum of human contact needed to hold neighbourhoods together. And, like so much innovation in technology, they can run counter to(与…背道而驰) the point of the very thing they enable.
12.What’s the author’s first impression of the corner deli
A.Impressive. B.Comfortable.
C.Disappointing. D.Regretful.
13.What does the second paragraph imply
A.More milk is available nowadays.
B.Chickpeas are cheaper to purchase.
C.People’s lifestyle has changed a lot.
D.Corner delis still have good business.
14.What message does the author convey in the last paragraph
A.New technology is putting old things out of use.
B.Innovation in technology is benefiting us greatly.
C.Fast delivery is leaving us socially disconnected.
D.Instant delivery is bringing us more convenience.
15.What is the passage mainly about
A.A reflection on the new consumption trend.
B.An unforgettable life experience in America.
C.An account of modern fast delivery industry.
D.The pressure new technology brings to delis.

How to Improve Vocabulary Fast
Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. We should learn some ways to expand it.
Read every day. 16 Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.
17 If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.
Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.
Elaborate (阐释) on the meaning of the word. Use imagery and personal relevance. If you have just learned the word “stubborn”, think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car. 18
Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow. 19 But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.
Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is. 20 The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.
A.Find a new word every day.
B.The vocabulary can be increased.
C.Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.
D.The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.
E.Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.
F.The first time you use a new word in speech, it may seem clumsy and forced.
G.Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as “stubborn in his refusal”.

“I want to go to a US university,” she said with confidence. I was surprised.
I agreed to work with her 23 a volunteer basis. For several months, Hani woke each morning at five and caught the city bus to her public high school.

When I met Hani’s family at their 27 little house, I realized they would never be able to afford the expenses of a US university. Hani’s enthusiasm was 28 with her language ability, but I was becoming more and more discouraged.

I told her that there was only a 30 chance of her getting the scholarship and encouraged her to be more “realistic” about her dream. But she remained 31 .
“Will you send in my name ” she asked.
I couldn’t 32 her down. I completed the application, with the painful truth about her academic life, but also with my 33 of her courage and perseverance.
Three weeks later, just before Hani went to Jakarta to take the Test of English Fluency, she received a letter from the scholarship association. She had been 34 .
I leaped around the room, overjoyed and shocked. Hani stood by, smiling. I realized that it was I who had learned something Hani had known from the beginning: It is not intelligence alone that brings success, but also the 35 to succeed, the commitment to work hard and the courage to believe in yourself.

Chris and Paul were good friends and on the same school basketball team, The Lions. They loved basketball very much and were both huge fans of the NBA.After school, when they weren’t playing on the court which was next to their building, they were watching a basketball game on TV. Chris’s favourite player was LeBron James. Paul’s favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, although they actually agreed that they were both champions.
Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA.Guess what Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. He did not miss a single practice and participated in every training. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said firmly, “If Bogues could make it, why not me ”
Their coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. Chris always comforted him and encouraged him, telling him not to give up. However, Paul didn’t get a chance.
This week, The Lions were playing against their main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game. It would be a tough one.
Everyone of the Lions played to the best of their abilities. Suddenly, a player and Chris crashed into each other. Pain raced through Chirs’s body. His knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and The Lions was behind by 10 points.

62. “You can’t play anymore,” the doctor said, putting an ice pack on Chris’s knee. The coach was very sad and told Chris that there were no more players. Then someone recommended Paul, but he said Paul couldn’t play. Meanwhile, another player also suggested letting Paul have a try. Then, Paul asked the coach to let him try and promised that he wouldn’t let him down.
The coach agreed, “Paul, it’s your time to shine.” Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court. And clearly, all the extra hours that he’d spent practicing alone paid off. The other team couldn’t keep up with his energy and speed. He made shot after shot, and the crowd couldn’t stop clapping and cheering. When the game ended, his team had won by two points. The coach was surprised at Paul’s performance. He smiled at Paul and said he’d earned his place on the team.

Everyone has unique needs and preferences, and individual sleep requirements are no different. However, the amount of sleep you need per night is mainly determined by your age. Official recommendations for the length of a person’s sleep are broken down by age group:
Older adults (65+): 7–8 hours
Adults (18–64 years): 7–9 hours
Teenagers (14–17 years): 8–10 hours
School children (6–13 years): 9–11 hours
Preschoolers (3–5 years): 10–13 hours (including naps)
Toddlers (1–2 years): 11–14 hours (including naps)

Newborns (0–3 months): 14–17 hours
However, some people might need more or less sleep than what is generally recommended, depending on the following factors.Genetic makeup
Your genetics are an important factor in how many hours of sleep you need per night.
For example, those with one specific genetic mutation (基因突变) need only around 6 hours, whereas people without such particular mutation require about 8 hours, on average.Sleep quality
The quality of your sleep can also affect how much you need.
If your sleep quality is poor, you may find that you still feel tired after getting what should be considered enough.
Therefore, it’s not only important to focus on sleeping long enough but also on sleeping well enough. If you often feel like you aren’t sleeping well or are extremely tired and don’t know why, it’s a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider.
1.What is the main reason for the amount of sleep we need per night

Cheng Yuyan never expected that the interest group “We Love Strolling in the Park”, which she created by accident on Douban, a Chinese social media platform, four years ago, would now reach 100,000 members.
According to the 25-year-old from Shanghai, creating this group was just an accidental decision, and she didn’t spend much time in it afterwards. However, park lovers from all over China and even overseas have voluntarily made it their gathering place. People share park experiences, post photos taken in parks, and offer recommendations and reviews about parks.
“The growth of this group is the result of organic (绿色的) development, just like a park, where people naturally come together. The rise in member numbers also shows the increasingly important role that parks are playing in people’s lives,” Cheng said.
Within this group, there is a saying called “20 minutes for parks”, which comes from a theory (理论) in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research. According to the theory, spending 20 minutes in a park daily helps to reduce stress, no matter whether people exercise in it or simply take a walk.
With the help of social media, the theory has been receiving popularity among a great number of young people in China. Huang Bingbing from Shenzhen, Guangdong province, is a follower of this idea.
She said that Shenzhen has many parks between office buildings. Over three years ago, when she was still working at an advertising company, she used to visit the small park downstairs during her weekday lunch breaks. “On the grass, I could connect with living plants and animals, allowing me to refresh my mind and recover from the stress of the workplace,” Huang said.
4.What did Cheng Yuyan think of her interest group
A.It surely attracted people. B.It was a serious decision.
C.It took her much effort. D.It got an unexpected result.
5.What does Cheng want to express in paragraph 3
A.People’s love for parks. B.The rise of the group number .
C.People’s changes of lifestyles. D.The benefit of green development.
6.Why is the theory becoming more popular among the youth
A.The pull of the online media. B.Their need for more experience.
C.The heavy load of their work. D.Their easy acceptance of new ideas.
7.What can we learn from Cheng Yuyan’s story
A.Hard work pays off. B.Great minds think alike.
C.A small thing makes a difference. D.Success comes from joint efforts.

Facebook parent company Meta recently showed how the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tool can translate between English and the Hokkien language. Its project required different, unusual development methods. That is because Hokkien is mainly a spoken language. It does not have a widely used written form.
Generally, developers of translation systems train AI models on very large amounts of written text in the target languages. This arms the system with many different language examples and combinations in an effort to produce the most correct results.
In general, AI-powered translation systems have improved greatly in recent years. It is now easier than ever to get translation help online or on devices to make international communication better. But one problem with such systems is that there are delays linked to the translation process. For example, when the system records spoken speech, the words are first converted into text and then translated by an AI system. Then, the translated words are converted back into speech so they can be heard.
The unusual part of the Meta project is that the development team did not have large amounts of Hokkien language text to feed into the AI system.
Hokkien is a dialect of Chinese. It is spoken by millions of people in Fujian Province and Taiwan. Additionally, it is also widely spoken in some areas in Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. Generally, families passed down the language throughout the generations.
Meta said it used several different methods to create the new system to translate to and from Hokkien and English. The team trained its AI models on written text examples from another version of Chinese, Mandarin, which is similar to Hokkien. In addition, Méta developers used an encoding tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. The team also worked closely with Hokkien speakers to make sure the results were correct.
The company said, however, that its Hokkien translation model is still a work in progress. It noted that the system is only able to translate one full sentence at a time at the moment.
8.What makes Meta’s project of translating Hokkien unusual
A.The lack of its written form. B.The special Chinese writing system.
C.The limited speakers of Hokkien. D.The complex language examples and combinations.
9.What does the underlined word “converted” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Transformed. B.Guided. C.Sorted. D.Returned.
10.What do AI-powered translation systems fail to do now
A.Get everyone to have access to online translation.
B.Use devices to communicate internationally.
C.Provide a real time translation at any place.
D.Produce the most correct translation results
11.What is the main idea of the sixth paragraph
A.How Mandarin is similar to Hokkien. B.How Hokkien speakers speak Hokkien.
C.How English text is translated into Hokkien. D.How Meta’s translation system translates Hokkien.
D
I remember clearly my first pineapple on ice at a corner deli in New York. It was on the north-east corner of Columbus and 57th Street, a store filled with flowers and fresh produce that stayed open all night. In my first flush of enthusiasm for the new city, everything about that deli seemed great. Abundance! Convenience! Pineapple, freshly cut and packaged on ice! A lasting memory.
It has been 15 years since then. Corner delis remain, but under pain of competition from a new generation of delivery alternatives like GoPuff and Getir that promise to deliver any item within 15 minutes, getting up off the sofa to walk half a block for some milk is a long past. One ingredient down for your dishes No need to turn off your stove and put on your shoes! Instead, for a small fee, order a person to your door bearing a single can of chickpeas. LEGS NO MORE!
The downfall of old services , and the reversal(反转) of the consumption style are affecting the city landscape at all levels. As a multibillion dollar business, hyper- fast delivery is tearing at breakneck speed to make tiny delivery windows. It not only means more bikes on the streets, large areas of real estate(房地产) are being turned over to “dark stores” that you walk past every day but can only buy via an app once you’re home.
The threat to New York’s symbolic delis remains to be seen. Although nearly every business, from diners to bookshops, has closed their doors over the last 10 years, only the New York delis remain largely untouched. Still, the pressure must be intense.
Instant delivery is making us even lazier and more useless as people, of which I am not proud. Last week, when running out of milk, I ordered the delivery of a single coffee from Starbucks. I gave myself a pass because it was coffee. But if these things are quicker and more convenient, they’re also sadder and stripped of the bare minimum of human contact needed to hold neighbourhoods together. And, like so much innovation in technology, they can run counter to(与…背道而驰) the point of the very thing they enable.
12.What’s the author’s first impression of the corner deli
A.Impressive. B.Comfortable.
C.Disappointing. D.Regretful.
13.What does the second paragraph imply
A.More milk is available nowadays.
B.Chickpeas are cheaper to purchase.
C.People’s lifestyle has changed a lot.
D.Corner delis still have good business.
14.What message does the author convey in the last paragraph
A.New technology is putting old things out of use.
B.Innovation in technology is benefiting us greatly.
C.Fast delivery is leaving us socially disconnected.
D.Instant delivery is bringing us more convenience.
15.What is the passage mainly about
A.A reflection on the new consumption trend.
B.An unforgettable life experience in America.
C.An account of modern fast delivery industry.
D.The pressure new technology brings to delis.

Elaborate (阐释) on the meaning of the word. Use imagery and personal relevance. If you have just learned the word “stubborn”, think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car. 18
Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow. 19 But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.
Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is. 20 The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.
A.Find a new word every day.
B.The vocabulary can be increased.
C.Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.
D.The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.
E.Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.
F.The first time you use a new word in speech, it may seem clumsy and forced.
G.Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as “stubborn in his refusal”.

“I want to go to a US university,” she said with confidence. I was surprised.
I agreed to work with her 23 a volunteer basis. For several months, Hani woke each morning at five and caught the city bus to her public high school. During the one-hour 24 , she studied for her regular classes and finished the English 25 I had given her. At four o’clock in the afternoon, she arrived at my classroom, 26 but ready to work.
When I met Hani’s family at their 27 little house, I realized they would never be able to afford the expenses of a US university. Hani’s enthusiasm was 28 with her language ability, but I was becoming more and more discouraged.
One day I received the announcement of a(n) 29 opportunity for a major US university. After reading the requirements, I knew Hani couldn’t meet the qualifications. I told her that there was only a 30 chance of her getting the scholarship and encouraged her to be more “realistic” about her dream. But she remained 31 .
“Will you send in my name ” she asked.
I couldn’t 32 her down. I completed the application, with the painful truth about her academic life, but also with my 33 of her courage and perseverance.
Three weeks later, just before Hani went to Jakarta to take the Test of English Fluency, she received a letter from the scholarship association. She had been 34 .

Chris and Paul were good friends and on the same school basketball team, The Lions. They loved basketball very much and were both huge fans of the NBA.After school, when they weren’t playing on the court which was next to their building, they were watching a basketball game on TV. Chris’s favourite player was LeBron James. Paul’s favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, although they actually agreed that they were both champions.
Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA.Guess what Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. He did not miss a single practice and participated in every training. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said firmly, “If Bogues could make it, why not me ”
Their coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. Chris always comforted him and encouraged him, telling him not to give up. However, Paul didn’t get a chance.
This week, The Lions were playing against their main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game. It would be a tough one.
Everyone of the Lions played to the best of their abilities. Suddenly, a player and Chris crashed into each other. Pain raced through Chirs’s body. His knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and The Lions was behind by 10 points.
