[1] One of the tough things about being a high school student is that you never Seem to get enough sleep at night, which often leaves you nodding off during classes．The best amount of sleep is about seven and a half to eight hours．Spending either less than six or more than nine hours in sleeping puts your health at risk．
[2] A popular solution to a lack of sleep at night is to take a “power nap” during the day, but does this work?
[3] Generally speaking, it can be beneficial．Research shows that a nap in the middle of the day—even a brief one as Short as five or 10minutes—can clear your mind and leave you with increased energy and improved productivity．
[4] But here are some things you need to know to do it correctly．To start with, every time you doze off （打瞌睡） during the day does not count as a “power nap”．The best time to take a power nap is in the mid-afternoon, when your energy level tends to decrease．
[5] But how long should a power nap be? Ideally, it should be kept to between 10 and 30 minutes．Nodding off for five minutes does not really provide established sleep．If you, however, go into the deeper stage you will wake up feeling weak．
[6] However, refreshing as it might be, if you get adequate sleep at night, taking a power nap isn’t such a wise choice．The reason is that sleeping during the day can interfere with your body’s biorhythms．The brain gets used to going to bed and getting up at roughly the same time each day, and you don’t want to disturb this routine．
[7] One more thing to keep in mind is that a power nap should never be used as a replacement for a good night’s sleep．A power nap during the day is not like a tablet which will definitely work．An hour’s sleep before midnight is worth a couple of hours’ sleep after midnight．What is the main idea of the passage? （no more than 5 words）

A middle school student from Milton, Wash., stopped a potentially disastrous situation on Monday morning when he guided his school bus safely off the road after the driver had a medical emergency, KOMO News reports.
Thirteen-year-old Jeremy Wuitschick was on the bus to Surprise Lake Middle School when he noticed that something was wrong.
“I knew something was wrong,” the seventh grader said. “The bus driver…looked funny. His eyes were bulging(凸出), he was sitting back and his hands were waving around.”
Immediately, Wuitschick and another seventh grade student -- Johnny Wood -- leapt out of their seats and rushed to the front of the bus. Grabbing the wheel, Wuitschick steered（控制）the vehicle, preventing it from crashing off the road; while Wood, who knows CPR, tried chest compressions on the driver who had become unconscious.
It was pretty scary, said Wuitschick, who then took the key out of the bus, making the bus -- with 15 other middle school students in it -- stop.
Ill tell you, Ill give the kid credit for fast thinking. He did the right thing and we’re going to do something for him. The kid definitely deserves credit,” Milton Police Chief Bill Rhodes said
When asked what made him to come forward to help, Wuitschick said he had acted “on instinct(本能),” adding that a “book about superheroes” had inspired him to turn the vehicle's engine off.
He also said that he knows how to drive because his mother lets him back the car out of the driveway when he washes it -- but that, until now, it had been his little secret.

At least 36 people have been killed and another 42 people have been injured in a stampede that broke out during a New Year Eve celebration in downtown Shanghai, which may have been caused by the crowd rushing to grab fake money thrown from the balcony of a building.
Survivors described the stampede as "horrible and hellish."
A woman said she covered two kids in front of her with her arms in the chaos. Her son followed her. Dirty shoe prints covered her son's clothes when the 12-year-old boy came to safety.
"The crowd was in a panic. We stood in the crowd, feeling squeezed and almost out of breath," a boy said. "Some yelled for help, but the noise was too loud."
Other survivors said police rushed to the scene and tried to pull out people who were stuck, but without much success.
The local authorities said that one of the victims was a female student from the Shanghai-based Fudan University. The student, surnamed Du from Yunnan Province, was fatally injured during the incident and died later in the hospital.
"The chaos lasted several minutes, and then some of the injured were seen being carried out of the crowd," Yu said.
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday demanded an immediate investigation into the cause of the stampede and urged prevention of such incidents in the future.
The city has set up a working team for rescue operations to deal with the aftermath.
Fatal incidents like this one were not rare in China, the world's most populous country. Stampedes in the past were mainly due to safety measures.
In September 2014, six students were killed in a stampede at a primary school in Yunnan Province after a stairway was blocked. In January 2014, a mosque(清真寺) stampede killed 14 people and injured another 10 in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. In 2004, a stampede on a bridge in suburban Beijing killed 37 during a local lantern festival.

He seems an unlikely hero, especially one that would save a kid from the jaws of a wild cougar (美洲豹) .
Shen Huigang is just now getting recognition for his bravery in fighting off a cougar on Vancouver Island, Canada, during a family outing on Aug .30.
Shen, also known as Ian, was then an exchange student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University enjoying the afternoon on a beach near Ucluelet, a small town on the edge of the Pacific Ocean.
With him was a friend, Myles Hagar, and Hagar’s two grandchildren.
Silently and suddenly a cougar appeared out of nowhere.
By the time the two adults spotted the cat, believed to be young but still weighing 30 to 35 kilograms, it already had the head of 18-month old Julien in its mouth. Instinctively﹙本能地﹚, the young man gestured as if he were ready for a fight, and tried to scare the beast off with the bag in his hands.
On hearing the noise Shen made, the animal dropped the kid and Hagar grabbed his grandson from the cougar’s jaws. Shen and Hagar gradually chased the animal back into the woods.
“We also moved slowly to our vehicle, as we waved our fists and bags, pretending we wanted to fight with it,” Shen said. “The vehicle wasn’t far away but it felt like it took us a century to travel the short journey.”
“Any hesitation, at any moment, even a second delay, would have resulted in certain death for Julien. The cougar was just about to break his neck and carry him away to be eaten in the forest.” Hagar said. Julien has since made a full recovery.
Parks Canada spokeswoman Arlene Armstrong told the National Post newspaper of Canada in an interview in August. “The two men acted properly by maintaining eye contact with the big cat and aggressively scaring it off.” Why is Shen Huigang getting recognition on Vancouver Island?(No more than 9 words )

We stayed at the Altapura for 9 nights over the Christmas period. The hotel benefits from a perfect location with easy ski in and ski out. The ski room is well equipped and the staff are very friendly and helpful in fitting the correct skis and boots.
Overall the hotel is well appointed and conveniently located with its own underground car park, a selection of restaurants and spa facilities. We particularly enjoyed lunches on the sunny terrace(露天平台) facing the slopes and have a late afternoon drink at the bar area in the comfortable chairs and sofas which are surrounded by two fires.
We support the repeated comment in all the reviews that there is no control over the temperature in the room. We were also surprised the bathroom floor was not heated. This is to be expected at any five star hotel in the Alps and is a standard these days in so many homes that for a hotel not to have it is disappointing.
Our main letdown with the hotel was service and this was broken down to the actual servicing of the room and the overall operation of the hotel. By our third night we did complain to the management and the GM Praveen was quick to meet with us and crack all the issues as well as offer us a drink and dinner on the house, which was highly appreciated.
The managements’ timely response to our issues is why we have given this review 4 out of 5. Otherwise we would have given this hotel 3/5.
Overall if you are looking to stay at the highest resort in Europe and want to be guaranteed snow, then the Altapura is the place to stay at in Val Thorens.What is the passage mainly about? (No more than 10 words)

In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about attack from other animals. This sometimes happens to humans, too. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have found that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people. Often, we try every way to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But when we stop pretending we’re strong, people around us will show their kindness.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I suddenly felt sick and drove very slowly. People behind me began to speed, horn(鸣喇叭) or even shout at me. At the moment I decided to do something. I put on the car flashlight.
No more angry shouts and no more horns! I knew when I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I have already done my best.” Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They could not get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the drivers in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those seldom happen. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we actually feel weak.How do people feel when they offer their help?(No more than 3 words)

Why do young adult children become independent so much later than they did in 1970, when the average age of independent living was 21? Why have reduced class sizes and increased per－pupil expenditures(花销) not resulted in higher academic achievement levels? Why is the mental health of today's kids so poor when compared with that of children in the 1960s and before? Why do today's parents become defensive when told by teachers that their children have misbehaved in school?
The best answer is that parents play a different role in children’s growth, which also summarize the differences between “old” child raising and new, post－1960s parenting. Then, the overall philosophy was that parents were not to be highly involved with their kids. They were available in case of crisis, but they stood a (an) safe distance from their kids and allowed them to experience the benefits of the trial－and－error process. It was the child's job, back then, to keep his or her parents from getting involved. That was how children learned to be responsible and determined.
Today's parents help their kids with almost everything. These are parents who are confused when it comes to an understanding of their purpose in their kids' lives. Their involvement leads them to personalize everything that happens to their kids; thus the defensiveness. But given that schools and mental health professionals have been pushing parental involvement for nearly four decades, the confusion and defensiveness are understandable.
University researchers analyzed three decades of data relating to parental participation in children's academics. Their conclusions confirmed what I've been saying since the 1980s: parental help with homework lowers a child's academic achievements and is not reflected on standardized tests.
Parents who manage a child's social life interfere with the development of good social skills. Parents who manage a child's after－school activities grow kids who don't know how to fill their own free time. Parents who get involved in their kids’ conflicts with peers grow kids who don't know how to avoid much less trouble.
These kids have anxieties and fears of all sorts and don't want to leave their home. And their parents, when the time comes, don't know how to stop being parents. You can imagine what will become of their future.What accounts for the differences between parents of different period? (no more than 5 words)

In my dual（双重的） profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life．They have taught me so many things，but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages．Let me tell you about Tyler．
Tyler was born infected with HIV；his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications（药物） to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgicallyinserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back．Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing．
Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard，wearing his medicine－laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard，she could quickly spot him．
This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler．He grew quite ill and，unfortunately，so did his HIV－infected mother．When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive，Tyler's mom talked to him about death．She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too，and that s he would be with him soon in heaven．
A few days before his death，Tyler beckoned10) me over to his hospital bed and whispered，“I might die soon．I'm not scared．When I die，please dress me in red．Mom promised she's coming to heaven，too．I'll be playing when she gets there，and I want to make sure she can find me．”What’s the profession of the writer?

Parent involvement is critical in helping with children’s development and achievement and in preventing and correcting educational and developmental problems.
The degree to which American parents are involved in their children’s schools is often surprising to people of other countries. Most schools have organizations consisting of both parents and teachers (usually called P.T.A from the initials of the “Parent-Teacher Association”). They meet together regularly to discuss and consult on various matters related to the school-curriculum, budgets, faculty, salaries, libraries facilities, or whatever it may be.
Mothers often volunteer to help with classroom or after-school activities. They sometimes make costumes for plays or play the piano or assist a teacher on a class field trip. Some of them give regular time, under the direction of the teacher, in working with tutoring children in the classroom.
In good schools a real effort is made to have both the home and the school work together for the child’s well-being. You will generally find teachers eager to talk with you about any problems concerning your child-although the larger the school, the less likely this is to happen. When the size permits, there are often scheduled appointments so that parents can meet privately with one or more of their child’s teachers to discuss his particular problems or progress. You will be sent notices of meetings or programs to which you are invited.
Both mothers and father are expected to attend such meetings and to show their interest in the school. You may be invited to a “Parents’ Day”, where you follow a child’s schedule through a full day of classes. This is inspiring and enjoyable for most parents.
School activities provide a good way to meet your neighbors and to make friends in the community. Since Americans enjoy meeting people from other countries, you will probably find your national background a help rather than a disadvantage in getting to know others. This is true even if you are having trouble with the language.

Making friends can be difficult, especially these days with so many peer pressures. If you want to develop a more pleasing personality and make friends，become genuinely(真正地) interested in other people and show kindness. You may be wearing the latest designer label clothes，the hottest brand shoes and the coolest jewelry, but if you display sourness and selfishness you’ll have a battle ahead of you to make good friends.
Smile...smile and continue to smile. It costs nothing, enriches those who receive it, happens in a flash but the memory lasts forever；it creates happiness in the home and classroom. A smile can not be bought，begged or borrowed，it comes from the heart. If you want other people to like you, make the other persons feel important, and do it sincerely!
Choose your friends carefully. If others try to persuade you to smoke, take drugs, steal，gamble, fight etc...dare to say NO. Doing the wrong thing is the quickest way to lose friends，especially honest, good and upright friends.
Being mentally strong is not always easy but let me assure you that the more you practise it, the easier it becomes. Soon those who thought they were trendy will want to dress like you，talk like you and be with you because you have a personality which is different. People like being different! By being an individual with your own personality you can achieve the very best experiences in your life. You may not ever have many friends but let me tell you that it is better to have one good friend than ten dishonest friends who will stab you in the back at the very first opportunity that arises.What prevents your from making good friends according to Paragraph 1?

With a good shopping position and the right amount of money, any educated person ought to be able to make a living out of a bookshop. It is not a difficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop. But the hours of work are very long---I was only doing a part-time job, but my boss put in a seventy---hour week, besides regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books.
The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life, however, is that while I was in it I lost my love of books. A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books, and that gives him a dislike for them. There was a time when I really did love books---loved the sight and smell and feel of them---if they were fifty or more years old, that is. Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them on sale for several pounds. There is a peculiar flavour（独特的味道）about the unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection: little-known eighteenth-century poets, or out-of-date geography books. For occasional reading---in your bath, for example, or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed---there is nothing as good as a very old picture story-book.
But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop I stopped buying books. Seen in a mass, five or ten thousand at a time, books were dull and even a little tiresome. Nowadays I do buy one occasionally, but only if it is a book that I want to read and can’t be borrowed easily, and I never buy rubbish.List two conditions that are necessary to run a bookshop.

Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond.
The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.
Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.
By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.For what purpose is the passage written? (within 6 words)
What does the author mean by the underlined word ‘beyond’ in paragraph 1? (within 5 words)
