Tears came into this mother’s eyes when she talked about waking up her son. Every morning, her ten-year-old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging for one more minute to sleep.
Why is he so sleepy Because, like thousands of student“early birds”in China, he has to get up before 6 a.m. every morning.
School students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep a night. But in Shanghai, it’s reported that 90% of the students do not get enough sleep. And studies show that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many become near-sighted(近视)as a result.
Li Ming, a student at Qinghua High School, said that he usually goes to bed after 11 p.m. But when he has exams coming up, he can stay up as late as midnight. This “night bird” lifestyle has made many students nod off(打瞌睡)in class. Li Ming said that it is during afternoon classes that he feels most sleepy. “My parents are usually happy to see me studying so late,” he said. “They think I work very hard and they make me cups of coffee.”
However, not all parents are happy about this. “My daughter gets up so early. She looks tired and it really hurts me.” said one of the parents. Why don’t so many students get enough sleep Now many members of society began to think about it.
44、The ten-year-old boy’s mother talked about waking up her son with tears in her eyes because_______.
A、her son’s lack of sleep hurt her but she had to wake him up
B、her son wasn’t good at lessons
C、she thought her son was too lazy
D、her son was badly ill
45、School students usually need to sleep for_______ a night.
A、more than ten hours B、at least eight hours
C、less than eight hours D、six to eight hours
46、For school students, lack of sleep may lead to________.
A、the body’s weakness B、nodding off in class
C、near-sighted eyes D、all the above
47、Li Ming’s mother is________ to see him studying late.
A、sorry B、worried C、happy D、angry
48、Which one is True according to the passage
A、All the parents hope their children stay up.
B、No students complain about their lack of sleep.
C、Most students watch TV or play computer games deep into night.
D、Some parents are worried about the fact that most of the students don’t have enough sleep.

A lot of people are familiar with the story of Brave Gelert, a dog that faithfully defended the prince’s son, but which was then killed while it was fast asleep through a terrible misunderstanding. However, only a few people know that the story is really a pack of lies. Let me explain.
About a hundred or so years ago there was a hotel owner in Wales who was fed up with business being so bad. His hotel was stuck in the middle of nowhere and hardly anyone came to stay. Then, one day, he had an idea. A famous prince called Llewellyn had lived in the area during the Middle Ages and had been keen on dogs. This is hardly surprising as hunting was extremely popular at that time. So what he did was to make up the story of the brave and faithful Gelert and how he had been killed by his ungrateful master.
Of course, people would be far more likely to believe the story if there was something they could see. So one day, the hotel keeper went to the top of a high hill and built a sort of monument from the stones he found lying around. A friend of his, who was an accountant, helped him to construct it. The “tale”soon caught on and developed a life of its own. Afterwards, people came from far and wide to see the spot where the dog was buried. Needless to say, business became very good for the hotel owner.
49、According to the tale, the dog was killed by_______.
A、a hotel owner. B、a famous accountant.
C、its master. D、the prince’s son.
50、The owner of the hotel successfully improved his business by________.
A、making up a story. B、constructing a hotel on the hill.
C、showing people around his hotel. D、inviting a friend to help him.
51、The hotel owner built the stone monument in order to________.
A、make more money. B、remember the loyal dog.
C、show off. D、honour the prince.
52、What could be the best title for this passage
A、A Prince and His Dog. B、A Profit-Making Lie.
C、A Magnificent Hotel. D、A faithful but Unlucky Dog.
D
If music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into an intelligent person.
A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments(试验)on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease following operation. They found that people who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Visalia’s “The Four Seasons”did much better on language ability tests than without music.
“Facts suggest that exercise improve the learning ability of people with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together, ” he added.
The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after working out with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health, education and well-being. It helps reduce stress, sadness and nervousness; encourages relaxation or sleep; wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.
In medical fields, music is used widely for patients who have had head hurts before and after operation.“The Four Seasons”was used because of its moderate tempo(舒缓的节拍)and positive results in earlier research.“Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nervous system(神经系统)and these changes may have a direct result on learning ability.”Emery said.
Scientists have been studying the results of music on understanding since the early 1950s. By 1990, psychologists were using Mozart’s music, especially his violin pieces, to help children with speech disorders. Mozart was chosen because his music it not over-exciting and has clear structures. A study showed students who listened to Mozart went on to score higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.
53、The underlined word enhance can be replaced by________.
A、impress B、improve C、provide D、produce
54、The text is mainly about that________.
A、music and exercise lead to relaxation or sleep.
B、33 volunteers work on music in medical fields.
C、exercise to music makes people healthy and bright.
D、scientists give suggestions on choosing music to exercise.
55、It can be learned from the last paragraph(段落)that________.
A、you are supposed to follow your parent’s words.
B、students should not listen to music before exams.
C、you have some good reasons to exercise to music.
D、music might help you to get higher grades in tests.
