People often think of the North Pole（北极） and the South Pole as similar frozen（冰冻的）
wastelands．They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there．However，the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine．
The North Pole has no land，only thick ice．Temperatures seldom go above 32°F，at which water turns into ice．Most of the time，it stays below zero．In winter temperatures are usually as low as﹣30°F．
Although conditions were very poor，people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole．About 100years ago，two men，Robert Peary and Mathew Henson，were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties．They reached the North Pole on March 8th，1909．It was really a hard trip for them．
There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic（北极圈） on foot．People who stayed there may face many problems：very cold temperatures，sudden storms，and even hunger．Most of the area is uninhabited．Few people can live in such a difficult place．
People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year，the ice would be thick and hard．However，this is not true in the Arctic．The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface．Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water（水道） called"leads"．Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes．
（1）This passage is probably from ．
A．a book review
B．a science book
C．a school report
D．a computer magazine
（2）According to the passage，what happened about 100years ago？
A．Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole．
B．Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F．
C．The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse．
D．The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures．
（3）What does the underlined word"uninhabited"probably mean in Chinese？
A．气候恶劣的
B．充满危险的
C．困难重重的
D．无人居住的
（4）The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is ．
A．that the temperature suddenly drops
B．that the water under the ice is frozen
C．that the ocean water under the ice moves
D．that the surface is covered with lots of ice
（5）What does this passage mainly talk about？

B．A difficult trip to the North Pole．
C．The real situation in the North Pole．

Put on your T﹣shirt and shorts. It's （hot） than yesterday.
"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．
