(C) Drriinnggg! That’s the sound children across the country do not want to hear—the alarm bell (闹铃). This means children across the UK have to wake up bright and early to go to school.
But students at one school in north-east England can lie in for one more hour before they go to school. Monkseaton High School says it’s OK for students to come into school an hour later than other schools.
The headmaster, Dr Paul Kelley, says that it helps students to be more active in class. He feels that young people work better later in the day and a late start may be better for their school life than an early one.
Dr Kelley told the BBC that teenagers don’t work very well in the morning and their need to sleep is biological (生物学的).
This new approach (做法) to teaching shows good results. The school has already seen a drop in the number of students playing truant (逃学) by 27%. More importantly, Dr Kelley also said that exam results have improved by 20-30% over the past year.
Lessons at Monkseaton High School begin at 10 a.m. and finish at 3.40 p.m. However, the school opens from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
41. One of the results of starting school late is that ________.
A. students don’t do very well in exams B. students become more polite
C. students feel tired in the afternoon D. fewer students are absent (缺席) from school
42. We may learn from the passage that lessons at other schools in the UK may begin at ______
A. 7 a.m. B. 8 a.m. C. 9 a.m. D. 10 a.m.
43. The underlined word “active” means “________”.
A. 乐观 B. 活跃 C. 紧张 D. 消极
44. What does Dr Kelley want to tell us?
A. The early bird catches the worm (虫子). B. A late start is better than an early one.
C. Better late than never. D. Hard work is the mother of good results.

五、任务型阅读（10分）
What do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It is important in letting others get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others, we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others.
Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements(陈述) and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily. For example, you might say, “I feel happy that you’re here,” instead of, “Are you glad that you’re here?” Finally, try not to say, “I don’t know.” This usually means I don’t want to think about it any more.
Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well, because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel or think to them, they will feel very uncomfortable at times.
In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people, but we’d better keep the balance between being open and not being too open.
