A study finds that not enough morning light causes teenagers not to get enough sleep at night. “As teenagers spend more time indoors, they miss necessary morning light. Day light is needed to keep the balance of the body’s 24-hour biological system (生物系统), which regulates (调节) body temperature and sleep styles,” reports Dr. Mariana Figueiro. “These teenagers who receive little morning light are going to bed later, getting less sleep and doing badly in tests. They are more likely to fail in their exams.”
In the study, Dr. Figueiro asked 11 students in Grade 8 to wear special glasses to prevent blue morning light from reaching their eyes. At the end of the 5-day study she found that they fell asleep 30 minutes later than usual.
Throughout her research, Dr. Figueiro has been very worried about teenagers going to bed too late. The problem is that today’s schools require teenagers to be in school very early in the morning. These students are likely to miss the morning light because they often go to school before the sun is up or as it’s just rising.
Furthermore (此外), the schools are not likely to provide enough electric light to keep the balance of this biological system. Our biological system is much more sensitive (敏感的) to blue light. Therefore, having lots of light in the classroom does not make sure that there is enough light to keep our biological system balanced. Which of the following is the result of the study?
| A．Blue light in the morning harms the biological system. |
| B．Not enough morning light keeps teenagers sleep less. |
| C．Not getting more light in the morning make teenagers happy. |
| D．Not enough sleep makes teenagers fail in tests. |
We know from the passage that morning light __________.
| A．has the same effects as afternoon light |
| B．may change studying habits of teenagers |
| C．is important to children’s biological system |
| D．has no effect on students’ tests |
What’s the problem of the students according to the study?
| A．There are not enough electric lights in the classroom. |
| B．Being in school early affects their study habits. |
| C．They have to go to bed very early to have enough sleep. |
| D．They go to school too early to get enough morning light. |
Nobody is happy all the time, but some people are really happier than others. Here are some tips for you to be happy.
Make enough money to meet your basic needs: food, shelter, and clothing. In the US, that magic number is $40,000 a year. Any money you make beyond that will not necessarily make you happier. Once you make enough money to support your basic needs, your happiness is not affected by how much money you make.
______________________________ Or move to where other members are－so you can see them more. Now, people follow jobs around the country and sometimes around the world. As a result, our relationships with our friends and family have a far greater impact (影响) on our happiness than our jobs do. So next time you think about moving, consider a place where most of your friends and families live.
Find happiness in the job you have now. Many people expect (期待) the right job to change their level of happiness. But happiness research makes it clear that changing jobs can’t bring you happiness. If you want, you will make the best of any job. If you have good relationships with people, you won’t depend on (依赖) your job to give your life a greater sense of meaning. You will find it in your interactions with the people you care about.
If you are unhappy for a long time, you should ask an expert (专家) or a doctor for help. I hope you will be happy all the time.The writer wrote this passage mainly to _____________.
| A．make friends |
| B．give suggestions |
| C．put on an advertisement |
| D．complain about your actions |
The underlined word “interactions” means ____________.
| A．arrangement | B．choice | C．communication | D．agreement |
What is the title for the third paragraph?
| A．Ask family members for help. |
| B．Borrow money from family members. |
| C．How to make family members be happy. |
| D．Stay close to friends and family. |
I still remember the last time when two of my children and I went to the playground. It had rained during the night and the playground was very muddy (泥泞的). They had just put on clean clothes, so I was a little worried about the pools of water on the playground. It was not long before Kathy got her beautiful skirt dirty on the playground. She dug through the rocks. I was about to blame her for getting her clothes dirty when she ran towards me with a smile on her face. When she got to me, she handed me a little heart-shaped rock and said, “Here Mom! Here is a heart for you－just because I love you! Keep it!” with tears in my eyes, I thanked her.
Should I blame her for getting her clothes muddy? No way! I still have that little heart-shaped rock. It is one of the best gifts that I have ever received. I realize that many times it is not necessary for us adults to worry about the small things our children do. Let them do what they’d like to.
I will spend a lot more time on the playground with my children. I’m sure I will learn a lot from the children. It reminds me of some years ago when my grandfather told me, “You would not enter the kingdom (王国) of happiness until you pretended (假装) to be a small child.”The writer was deeply moved by her daughter’s ____________.
| A．digging task on the playground |
| B．love of the muddy playground |
| C．special way to show her love |
| D．smile on her face when running |
From Paragraph 2, we can learn that the writer thought parents should _________.
| A．allow kids to do whatever they like |
| B．keep the presents given by children |
| C．not give too much care to their own children |
| D．not worry about the small things their children do |
In the last paragraph, Grandpa’s words imply (暗示) that _____________.
| A．children may find happiness easily in life |
| B．children care more about happiness than adults do |
| C．adults cannot share children’s happiness |
| D．adults should pretend to be a child |
请阅读以下关于幸福心态的文章，根据所提供的信息，完成下面表格，请将答案写在答题卷相应题目的答题位置上。
Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money.
When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you can’t always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
