Up to two thirds of children don’t get as much sleep as they should do, and this can make
them nervous and slower at school，researchers say．
So 31 should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours．
If you don’t get enough sleep at night，you’11 have 32 energy the next day．
But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4，500 hours of sleep 33
the time they are 7 years old．They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms and 34 parents don’t read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional “bedtime story” helps children to relax and fall asleep 35 . Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms are more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than 8 hours sleep．Even losing one hour’s sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.
German scientists think that your 36 keeps working while you are asleep．To show that
they were 37 ，they gave two groups of people a problem to work out．One group went to
sleep and the other group stayed 38 . The result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly，suggesting that their brains had been trying to 39 the answer while the people were asleep．So，make sure you get enough sleep tonight， 40 you’ll be at your best tomorrow．

Apple’s logo is one of the most familiar icons(图标)around the world．
But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious，because that’s the name of the company．What about the bite? The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing．He was the father of computer science．He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能)and unlocked German wartime codes(密码)．However，after the war，he was put into
prison，because of his beliefs．He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned
apple to end his life in the prison．
However，Rob Janoff，who designed the famous Apple logo，said，“It’s not the truth, but
only a legend．The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple．I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry．When I go to markets to buy apples，I always mistake apples for cherries．It really has nothing to do with the scientist．”
Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than a cherry. It’s very easy to tell. But if you use an apple to design a logo some people may mistake it for a cherry.
41. Both the apple and the cherry are almost the same actually in________．
A. shape B．size C．colour D．weight
42. According to the passage，Alan Turing________.
A．died in the prison
B．used an apple to design a logo
C．was put into prison during the war
D．was the father of a computer company
43. What’s the purpose of writing the passage about the apple logo?
A．To introduce its designer．
B．To tell us a legend about it．
C．To try to find the truth of it．
D．To explain its market research．

On April 18，the 100-day countdown to the 2012 Olympic Games in London began. For this
year’s Games’ slogan，the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games has chosen the
phrase “Inspire a Generation” (激励一代人)．It is expected to inspire athletes to do their best，and common people to do better in their daily lives．
The Games are also inspiring lots of tourists to come to London．But if you go there，you’d better try your best to follow British manners and customs．Otherwise，you’ll end up in a right mess! Expert William Hanson has given the Associate Press a few tips for tourists on how to act while in the UK．Let’s have a look：
Don’t talk about money．According to Hanson，British people hate talking about money and it is considered rude to do so．In particular，never ask anyone about their salary．
Afternoon tea．The traditional view of the British sitting down for an afternoon tea is not exact．Few people keep the tradition nowadays．
Give tips—but not in an obvious way．The British favor a quiet “thank you” gift for good service rather than the rigid 16-20％tip Americans always give．In fact，many British waiters will not feel anxious and nervous if you decide not to tip at all.

Greeting with a kiss．The British are not like their passionate neighbors in France. Many prefer a handshake or a pat on the back to say “hello”．
Conversation tip．If you want to be friendly，end a sentence with the word “mate”·
44．The underlined word “It” in the first paragraph refers to_____．
A．London B．“Inspire a Generation’’
C．The 100—day countdown D．The London Organizing Committee
45．British people think it rude to_______.
A．have tea in the early morning
B．ask others about their salary
C．give a 10％tip to a waiter
D．shake hands with friends
46．The underlined word “passionate’’ in the passage means “_______” in Chinese．
A．冷酷的 B．羞涩的 C．有激情的 D．聪明的
47．When will the London Olympics be held?
A．On August 18． B．At the end of July．
C．At the beginning of August．D．In the middle of July．
C

Huckleberry Finn，the great character from the Mark Twain book，did not like school．He
preferred floating down the Mississippi River on a raft and looking for adventure．That’s why
generations of schoolboys have loved reading Huckleberry Finn：they feel the same way about
school as he did．
For many boys，being forced to sit all day in a school room is like being punished for a crime they did not commit．There are endless hours of boredom spent learning things they have no interest in．That’s why many boys do poorly in school and many give up on education altogether．
Ironically(具有讽刺意味的是)，the whole idea for schools was invented for boys．If a boy wanted to grow up to be a useful man，he had to be educated．By and by，people realized that educating girls was a good idea，too．And，ironically again，it was discovered that the school
system suits girls just fine；so fine that girls now do much better than boys in school．
No one really knows why that is．Some say that girls mature(发育成熟)quicker than boys and adapt better to school life．Some also say that the school system and the curriculum(课程) have changed to encourage girls but the needs of boys have been overlooked．
Educators are now trying to find ways to get boys to be more successful in school．There are
suggestions to separate the sexes and teach boys separately．There are also suggestions to change
the curriculum to make it more interesting for boys．
Whatever the changes are，boys still will be boys，and dreams of floating down the Mississippi River will always be an attractive choice to just sitting in a classroom．
52. Huckleberry Finn is________.
A. a boy of Mark Twain’s B. a character in a book
C．an American writer D．a river’s name
53．Many boys do poorly in school because________．
A. they give up on education
B．they’re punished for a crime they did not commit
C．they have no interest in the things they’re learning
D．they prefer floating down the Mississippi River on a raft
54．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means that________．
A. more boys are needed B. boys need to be cared about a lot
C．the needs of boys have been very important
D. People have paid little attention to the needs of boys.
55．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Girls now do much better than boys in school.
B．The school system has changed to encourage girls．
C．Girls mature quicker than boys and adapt better to school life．
D. The curriculum has changed to be more interesting for boys.
