第三部分 阅读理解 (共25分）
（A）
Swimming is very popular in summer. People like swimming in summer because water makes them feel cool. If you swim in a wrong place, it may not be safe. These years, more than ten people died in the city while they were enjoying in the water and most of them were students. But some people are still not careful in swimming. They often think they swim so well that nothing can happen to them in water. Summer is here again. If you go swimming, don’t forget that better swimmers have died in water. They died because they were not careful, not because they were not good at swimming. So don't get into water when you are alone. If there is a "No swimming" sign, don't get into water, either. If you remember all these, swimming will be safer.

根据短文内容，判断正误。正确的写“A”，错误的写“B”。
( ) 51. Swimming is a very safe sport.
( ) 52.We shouldn't swim in some wrong places.
( ) 53. Not just students died in water.

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 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 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.
