Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock    36    Here is how to make one.

●    37    In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.

Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags.    3 8    That's a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.

Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you're tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found.    3 9   

Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you've tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record.    4 0   If not, take another look at other methods you could try.

A．	Get a sleep specialist.
B．	Find the right motivation.
C．	A better plan for sleep can help.
D．	And consider setting a second alarm.
E．	If the steps you take are working, keep it up.
F．	Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.
G．	Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.

The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named "DriveLAB" in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.

Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.

Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.

These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: "For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others."

"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to."

Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, "The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.

"For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.

"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel."

32.What is the purpose of the Drivel LAB?

A．	To explore newmeans of transport.
B．	To design new types of cars.
C．	To find out older driver's problems.
D．	To teach people traffic rules.

33.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?

A．	It keeps them independent.
B．	It helps them save time.
C．	It builds up their strength.
D．	It cures their mental illnesses.

34.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?

A．	Improve their driving skills.
B．	Develop driver-assist technologles.
C．	Provide tips on repairing their cars.
D．	Organize regular physical checkups.

35.What is the best title for the text?

A．	A new Model Electric Car
B．	A Solution to Traffic Problem
C．	Driving Service for elders
D．	Keeping Older Drivers on the Road

After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Ziyuanku.com

Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displacedby human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.

The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations - major food sources (来源) for the wolf - grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park' s red foxes, and completely drove away the park' s beavers.

As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.

The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red fores have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.

28.What is the text mainly about?

A．	Wildlife research in the United States.
B．	Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C．	The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D．	The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.

29.What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean?

A．

Tested.

B．

Separated.

C．

Forced out.

D．

Tracked down.

30.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about？

A．	Damage to local ecology.	B．	A decline in the park's income.
C．	Preservation of vegetation.	D．	An increase in the variety of animals.

31.What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？

A．

Doubtful.

B．

Positive.

C．

Disapproving.

D．

Uncaring.

Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater's 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building's end.

The film classic The Last Picture Showwas the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-be to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.

Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater's location(位置) was also a reason. "This used to be the center of town," he said. "Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses."

Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.

The theater audience said good-by as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.

24. In what way was yesterday's cleanup at the Plaza special?

A．	It made room for new equipment.
B．	It signaled the closedown of the theater.
C．	It was done with the help of the audience.
D．	It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.

25. Why was The Last Picture Showput on?

A．	It was an all-time classic.	B．	It was about the history of the town.
C．	The audience requested it.	D．	The theater owner found it suitable.

26. What will probably happen to the building?

A．	It will be repaired.	B．	It will be turned into a museum.
C．	It will be knocked down.	D．	It will be sold to the city government.

27. What can we infer about the audience?

A．	They are disappointed with Bradford.	B．	They are sad to part with the old theater.
C．	They are supportive of the city officials.	D．	They are eager to have a shopping center.

Mr. and Mrs.Zhang all work in our school.They live far from the school,and it takes them about a hour and a half to go to work every day.In their spare time,they are interesting in planting vegetables in their garden,that is on the rooftop of their house. They often get up earlier and water the vegetables together.They have also bought for some gardening tools.beside,they often get some useful informations from the internet.When summer came,they will invite their students pick the vegetables！

In 1863the first underground passenger railway in the world opened in London. It ran for just under seven kilometers and allowed people to avoid terrible __61__(crowd) on the roads above as they travelled to and ___62__ word. It took three years to complete and was built using an interesting method. This included digging up the road, ____63___(lay) the track and then building a strong roof over___64___ top. When all those had been done, the road surface was replaced.

Steam engines ___65__(use) to pull the carriages and it must have been___66__(fair)unpleasant for the passsengers, with all the smoke and noise. However, the railway quickly proved to be a great success and within six months, more than 25,000 people were using___67__ every day.

Later, engineers ____68___(manage) to construct railways in a system of deep tunnels (隧道）, which became known to the tube. This development was only possible with the ___69___ (introduce) of electric-powered engines and lifts. The central London Railway was one of the most ___70___(success) of these new lines, and was opened in 1900. It had white-painted tunnels and bright red carriages, and proved extremely popular with the public.

In1973,I was teaching elementary school.Each day,27 kids 41    "The Thinking Laboratory."That was the      42    students voted for after deciding that "Room 104" was too    43   .

Freddy was an average      44    ,but not an average person .He had the rare balance of fun and compassion（同情）.He would    45   the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone's    46    .

Before the school year     47    ,I gave the kids a special       48    , T-shirts with the words "Verbs Are Your    49   on them. I had advised the kids that while verbs（动词）may seem dull ,most of the 50   things they do throughout their lives will be verbs.

Through the years, I'd run into former students who would provide    51   on old classmates. I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his 52   from high school and remained the same    53   person I met forty years before .Once, while working overnight at a store, he let a homeless man 54   in his truck. Another time ,he 55   a friend money to buy a house .

Just last year,I was    56   a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door. A woman    57   the interruption and handed me an envelope. I stopped teaching and    58   it up. Inside were the "Verbs" shirt and a    59   from Freddy's mother. "Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving. He wanted you to have this."

I told the story to the class. As sad as it was, I couldn't help smiling . Although Freddy was taken from us,we all    60   something from Freddy.
