Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed for millions of teenagers across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are part of a virtual community.
"I rarely talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ," said Fox's Shadow, the online nickname used by a Senior 2 girl in China. "Eighty percent of my classmates use QQ after school. "
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record shows 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October, according to Tencent ( 腾讯公司), the company which developed QQ.
And Fox's Shadow might well have been one of them. "I log in on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel bored. I usually spend about 10 hours chatting online every week," she said. "But I rarely talk with strangers, especially boys or men. "
Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. "You don't know who you're talking to. You should always be careful about who you trust online. "

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature(体温) goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates（气候）, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional（传统的）, people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.
Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
5．Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?
A．Their body temperature becomes lower. B．They eat too much for lunch.
C．They sleep too little at night. D．The weather becomes a lot warmer.
6．If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?
A．About 12:30 pm. B．About 2:30 pm
C．About 1:30 pm. D．About 3:30 pm
7．Naps are good for everyone in any climate because ______________ .
A. a nap makes both your body and mind have a good rest.
B. a daily nap benefits your health.
C. people who often take naps suffer less from problems such as heart disease than those who
don’t.
D. All the above.
8.What would be the best title for the text?
A．Just for a Rest B．A Special Sleep Pattern.
C．Taking Naps in Warmer Climate D．All for a Nap
C
Once a teacher, always…
Mom was a teacher most of her life. When she wasn’t in the classroom, she was educating her children or grandchildren: correcting our grammar; starting us on collections of butterflies(蝴蝶), flowers or rocks; or inspiring a discussion on her most recent“Book of the Month Club” topic. Mom made learning fun.
It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her suffering in later years. At eighty-five, she suffered a stroke and she went steadily downhill after that.
Two days before she died, my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair（轮椅）. While we waited for the staff（护工） to lift her back into bed, Mom fell asleep. Not wanting to wake her, we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly.
After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a sound coming from across the room. We stopped talking and looked at Mom. Her eyes were closed, but she was clearly trying to communicate with us. We went to her side.
“Whirr,” she said weakly.
“Where?” I asked. “Mom, is there something you want?” “Whirr,” she repeated a bit stronger. My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.
Mom opened her eyes, sighed, and with all the energy she could master said, “Not was, say were!”
It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother Jim’s last sentence. “If it was up to me…”
Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek. “Thanks, Mom,” he whispered（低语）. We smiled at each other ----remarkable（卓越的）teacher.
9. When Mom said, “Whirr”,what did she really want to do?
A. She wanted to correct the mistakes Jim made while talking.
B. She wanted to tell her sons her will.
C. She wanted to have something to eat before she died.
D. She wanted to teach her sons more because she was dying.
10. Which of the following statements is NOT right?
A. Mom was a good teacher and never wanted to stop her teaching.
B. Mom was no longer a teacher when she was at home.
C. Mom was always making her teaching fun.
D. Mom didn’t forget her teaching until she died.
11. What does the writer think of his mother?
A. His mother was great because she devoted herself to teaching.
B. He loved her but was tired of his mother’s teaching at home.
C. His mother should forget her teaching and enjoyed the rest of her life.
D. His mother was an excellent teacher before she was retired.
