六、阅读理解（共20小题，计30分 ）
A
For many people the subject of hiccups (嗝) is a joke, but for Harry Mendes, a fifteen-year-old schoolboy from Birmingham, it was something quite different.
His hiccups began one Sunday lunch time and continued day and night for two weeks. After the first week, Harry's parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure his attack.
Harry, who is now back at school, described what happened to him.
“When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water but that didn't do any good. That evening I had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them. I held my breath and drank cold drinks. My father even tried to give me a shock but that didn't work either.”
After a week of sleepless nights, he went to hospital. The doctors took an X-ray of his chest but they couldn't find anything wrong.
“They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped.”
Harry was very lucky. The world record holder is the American farmer Charles Osborne, who hiccupped for sixty-eight years. He stopped in 1990 at last, but nobody knows why.

Yang Liwei circled the earth 14 times in 21 hours on October 15 and 16, 2003, landing on the grasslands of 　Inner Mongolia　. Looking a little tired, Yang stepped out of Shenzhou V, smiling and waving at the waiting people. “I feel very good.” Yang said to Premier Wen Jiabao on the phone. Yang said to a newspaper, “For our motherland and me, this is a great moment.”　　
　　China　　’s launch of Shenzhou V shows a higher starting point. It has two special systems（系统） to protect the spaceman, but neither Russian rockets（火箭）nor American ones have.　　
Yang didn’t know that he was chosen as 　　China　　’s first spaceman until just before the launch. Although Yang was excited at the news, he still slept at 8p.m. as usual and was woken up at 8p.m. the next morning. Before the launch, Yang ate Chinese traditional food-dumplings. We all know that travelers usually eat them before going on a journey for good luck.　　
A stamp Success of China First Manned Space Flight was issued（发行）on October 16, 2003, making China the third country to send a spaceman into outer space.　　
( )51. It took Yang Liwei_____ to travel around the earth every circle.

C. celebrate the success　　
D. give them to Russian and American spacemen.　　
D　　
Experts(专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指) with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “ early birds” in 　　China　　, he has to get up before six every morning.　　
A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker (虚弱) than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.　　
Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.　　
( )5 6. The 10-year-old boy begged for more minute to sleep because__________.　　
A. he didn’t have enough sleep B. it wasn’t time for him to get up　　
C. he didn’t want to go to school D. he wanted his mother to wake him up　　
( )57. In this passage we know if students don’t get enough sleep, they may________.　　
A. become too weak to sleep B. not work well in class　　
C. go to bed early D. be weak in English 　　
( )58. In this passage “early birds” means “persons who ______________”　　
A. get up early B. get up late C. sleep less D. don’t want to sleep　　
( )59. “Stay up late” here means “_____________”　　
A. study late B. watch TV late C. not go to bed until late D. stay outside　　
( )60. According to the passage, which of the following is right?_________　　
A. If you want to study better, you must work hard at night.　　
B. Sleeping less means working hard.　　
C. Some clever students are able to work well in class because they have good study habits.　　
D. Students don’t have enough sleep because they have lots of homework to do
