In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. A father rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: “No matter what happened, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his promise to his son.
Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging.
Other parents tried to pull him off the ruins, saying: “It’s too late! They’re all dead! You can’t help!” He replied, “Are you going to help me now?” The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins saying, “Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Go home.” This loving, caring American father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”
The police came and said, “You’re anxious and it’s over. Go home. We’ll handle it!” He replied, “Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.
Courageously he went on alone. He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then, in the 38th hour, he heard his son’s voice. He screamed his son’s name, “ARMAND!” He heard back, “Dad! It’s me, Dad! You promised no matter what happened, you would always be there for me! You did it, Dad!” “What’s going on in there? How is it?” the father asked.
“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. ”

B
People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term-quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.
Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.
6.________ leads to people's deeper understanding of health.
A．Common knowledge B．Progress in scientific research
C．Better conditions of living D．Quality of life

A. absence of illness B. a long life

9. We can infer from the passage __________.
A. nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus because of improvements in the quality of food
B. the overall quality of people's lives improved greatly in the 20th century
C. those who never fall ill are the truly healthy people
D. those who were born before 1900 could not have lived until now

C. the importance of quality living
D. people's expectations of a long and healthy life

Wake Up, Sleep Gene
Some people can stay up all night and still get work done the next day. I’m not one of them. After a night without enough sleep, I feel bad-tempered. I have trouble remembering things. And all I want to do is crawl back into bed and sleep.
How do you feel after you’ve stayed up late to finish schoolwork? Or the day after an overnight party? Scientists now say that your answers to these questions may depend on your genes.
New research suggests that a gene called period 3 affects how well you function without sleep. The period 3 gene comes in two forms: short and long. Everyone has two copies of the gene. So, you may have two longs, two shorts, or one of each. Your particular combination depends on what your parents passed on to you.
Scientists from the University of Surrey in England studied 24 people who had either two short or two long copies of period 3. Study participants had to stay awake for 40 hours straight. Then, they took tests that measured how quickly they pushed a button when number flashed on a screen and how well they could remember lists of numbers.
Results showed that the people with the short form of period 3 performed much better on these tests than the people with the long form did. In both groups, people performed worst in the early morning. That’s the time when truck drivers and other night-shift workers say they have the most trouble concentrating.
After the first round of experiments, participants were finally allowed to sleep. People in the group that performed well on the tests took about 18 minutes to nod off.
People with the long period 3 gene, by contrast, fell asleep in just 8 minutes .They also spent more time in dip sleep. That suggests that people with the long form of the gene need more and deeper sleep to keep their brains working at top form.
I think I must have the long form of period3. What about you?
11. The purpose of this passage might be________.
A. to tell us the importance of plenty of sleep
B. to tell the result of a research on sleepy gene
C. to inform the harm of lacking sleep D. to announce the sleeping rules of humans
12. Which of the following decides how well you perform without sleep?
A. One short form B. One long copy C. Period 3. D. One short and two long copies.
13. What kind of people need less sleep according to the research ?
A. Those with two short copies of the gene B. Those with two long copies of the gene
C. Those with one short and one long copies of the gene
D. Those with three short copies of the gene.
14. If one lacks enough sleep, one should avoid doing important or dangerous things________.
A. at noon B. at night C. in the afternoon D. at dawn
15. Why did the writer suppose he or she had a long form of period 3?
A. Because the writer could remain energetic without enough sleep.
B. Because the writer could do things correctly at dawn.
C. Because the writer needed more sleep to keep energetic
D. Because the writer recovered quickly after sleep.
