"I'm going to bed earlier tomorrow! "But no matter how we decide, there are still many chances that we break our promises.

This behavior is called" bedtime procrastination"(睡眠拖延症), and results from being short of self﹣control and our body clock.

Bedtime procrastination is a common problem. According to a study, Among 2, 400 people, 53 percent of them couldn't follow their sleeping time they had planned, delaying(#fE R )it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn't stop doing some other things.

Accordingly, People who usually have trouble resisting temptations(抵制诱惑) and adhering to their intentions(坚持己见) are more likely to delay going to bed.

However, scientists think being short of self﹣control is not the only problem. Our body clock also lays an important role when it comes to bedtime.

In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, scientists studied the sleep patterns (t模式)of 108 people. It was found that those who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime than those who woke up early every morning.

And more surprisingly, night owls(夜猫子)would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. It's their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime.

People always think that bedtime procrastination isn't a big problem, but the choices we make that affect (影响)our sleep could finally be pretty important for our health.

Have you ever had dreams about building a robot?Or putting together a spaceship?Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate?Done.All you need is a 3﹣D printer.

The possibilities of 3﹣D printing seem endless (无穷尽的).All the user has to do is to design an object on the computer and choose a material to print in.The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass,sugar and even skin!When the user presses (按)﹣print,the 3﹣D printer spreads the materials layer (层) by layer and like magic the object is produced.

The first 3﹣D printer was invented in 1986by American,Charles Hull.But 3﹣D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use.Designers now use 3﹣D printing to create unusual things.The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges.

And doctors have used 3﹣D printing to print human body parts!The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man﹣made ear.But like a lot of new technologies,if 3﹣D printing gets into the wrong hands,it can be dangerous.

In 2011a group of four men in the US used 3﹣D printing to Produce ATM skimmers (提款机盗刷器).These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000from users of the ATM.It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3﹣D printer to print a gun.But for better or for worse,3﹣D printing has been put into use.In a few years,you'll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3﹣D printer!

Scrub, the pet cat of Jennifer's, was found! It got lost five years ago. Jennifer looked for it everywhere but failed each time. She thought Scrub would never come back. But one day she got a call from an animal shelter(庇护所) and was told they had found Scrub!

    How did they know Scrub belonged to Jennifer? How did they know Jennifer's phone number? All the information was available because of the microchip, a very small computer chip(薄片). It was placed under Scrub's skin many years earlier.

    The microchip is usually placed under the skin of an animal's shoulder to keep its ID number. Once the chip is in place, the pet does not feel it anymore. When lost pets are brought to animal shelters, people there use a special tool to look for the microchip and read the ID number on it, then they'll call the microchip company to match the number to the information of the pet's owner. This is how the shelter was able to tell Jennifer that they had found Scrub.

    Microchips have helped thousands of owners get their lost pets back. In New York, a dog named Roxy was missing for months. Then a woman found her on a busy street in New Jersey. No one knows how the dog got to a different state. However, thanks to her microchip, Roxy was soon returned to her grateful owner.

    In 2008, a couple got their cat George back after he had disappeared 13 years earlier! When George got lost, the couple tried everything to find him. They visited animal shelters every day for six months, made posters and even offered a $500 reward(酬金). As years went by, they thought George would never be back till they got the call from an animal shelter. Without the microchip, the cat would never be able to come home again.

    Microchips can not only work for a pet's whole life but help lost pets no matter how far they've been away from home. This is why microchips may be just the thing to help bring missing pets back home.

I remember when I was growing up, my mom always said, "Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others." It's so true. Friends allow us to enjoy the taste of our success and our joys and comfort us in our challenging moments. They provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I have always looked at friends as the family members. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, "A ①   friend  is a present which you give yourself."

To be a good friend, ② 成为一个年的听众是很重要的.Hear what your friend says first rather than making conclusions (结论) quickly. Sometimes it is useful to repeat their words back to them, it can help them to realize whether their words were what they wanted to say.

Patience is also important in being a good friend. You know the old golden rule. "Care for others in the way you would like them to care for you." The support of a friend during a difficult time could make a difference between success and failure. ③ Encouragement is the best gift that can change a person's life

We should choose our friends carefully, because they can have a huge influence in our life. As someone told me "Your friends are like the button (按钮) on a lift. ④ Sometimes they will take you up sometimes they will take you down "

Historically,most cars have run on gasoline(汽油),but that may change in the future:cars can also run on other liquid fuels(液体燃料)and electricity.

Gasoline is from oil.The energy in gasoline comes from hydrocarbons(碳氢化合物).Gasoline provides great power for cars.However,it causes environmental problems,like air pollution and temperature rise.So gasoline can't be the best fuel.

Another choice is electricity.Electricity cars can be as efficient(效能好的)as cars using gasoline,And they produce less pollution.But electric cars themselves are more expensive.Good news is that the cost has been lower and there are more and more places for the cars to get electricity ever since 2010.

The other choices are other liquid fuels.Many of these can be stored in the same places as gasoline,and used in the same cars.They can also be friendly to the environment.

One way to make such fuels is to get CO 2from the air and put it in water.Through chemical reaction,hydrocarbons can be created.However,these fuels take up more space.

Another way is to make such fuels from plants which take in carbon from the air.These fuels are greener in use.But not all of them can be as efficient as gasoline.

For a fuel to be the best,people have to be able to afford it.Unluckily,almost every green technology is more expensive than that of using gasoline.Governments and car producers are doing everything they car to cut down the costs.In the end,the best fuel will be both affordable for car users and green for our planet.

The first emperor of China,Qin Shihuang,completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.,he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers(士兵).These,he hoped,would protect his tomb after his death.

    Lost in Time

    The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown,but they weren't always.They began as an army of red,blue,yellow,green,white,and purple.Sadly,most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed(暴露)to air during digging,the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg,taking away with it important pieces of history.

    New Technology

    Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists(考古学家)have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features,including black hair,pink faces,and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid(液体)to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece,archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.

    Back to Life

    Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt,so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece, "says Rong Bo,the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge,says Rong Bo,is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens,artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full,bright colors.

(1)What is the passage mainly about?    

A.The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

B.How the terracotta army was colored.

C.The true colors of the terracotta soldiers.

D.How the soldiers lived during Qin Dynasty.

(2)What does the underlined word "They" in the passage refer to?    

A.Archeologists.

B.Artists.

C.Researchers.

(3)Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree?
