A private sixth grade is set to start its lessons at 1.30 pm every day because the school’s teacher thinks his students will study better after a morning lie-in (懒觉).

Instead of rising early for a 9 am start, students at the £15,000-a-year Hampton Court House, in East Molesey, Surrey, will get to enjoy a lie-in and work from 1.30 pm until 7pm. Head teacher Guy Holloway says the move for all sixth grade students, set to begin from September, has been made according to research by scientists. He predicts (预测) that not only will his students aged 16 and upwards get great night’s sleep, but their productivity (效率) will also be improved.

The co-educational school will have the latest start time in the UK, and will be the only one to begin lessons in the afternoon.

Experts say young people are programmed to get up later, and that rather than laziness it is simply a shift (转变) in their body clocks.

‘There are 168 hours in a week and how productive they are depends on how they choose to use those hours,’ said Mr Holloway. ‘At Hampton Court House we don’t think we have the answer for everybody; it’s about what works in our school. We want to get them into a condition where they can get great sleep and study well.’ He said students would also benefit from reduced journey times as they travel to and from school after rush hour (上下班高峰时间).

Year 10 student Gabriel Purcell-Davis will be one of the first of 30 A-level students to start at the later time. ‘I want to wake up in my bed, not in my maths lesson,’ said the 15-year-old. Lessons for all other students at the school will still begin at 9 am as usual.

1.Why did the school decide to start the class at 1.30 pm?

A. It may be good for students’ study.

B. Students wanted a morning lie-in.

C. Students were often late for school.

D. Teachers wanted to have a good sleep in the morning.

2.What can we learn about the new start time?

A. It’s suitable for every student.

B. It was based on scientific research.

C. Students are following the new school time now.

D. Only the sixth grade students will use the new school time.

3.Experts think young people’s getting up later ________.

A. is a bad habit

B. is a natural thing

C. is because of laziness

D. is helpful to their study

4.In Mr. Holloway’s eyes, students can improve their productivity by ________.

A. working harder

B. not wasting time

C. using time wisely

D. learning new study methods

5.What’s Gabriel Purcell-Davis’ attitude towards the new school time?

A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Worried.D. Objective.

Reading is the key to success. Apparently every successful person develops a passion for reading. This is because reading is a key element to obtain the information required to understand something. For instance, lawyers have to study and learn every established law on their specific branches. Sometimes the law changes according to people’s needs. A good lawyer has to be informed about the latest news in the court. A doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine.

Reading is very important for all mankind. Everything is relative in this world, especially reading. Reading can open any doors and it can lead you into a path of success. Studies have confirmed that reading to your unborn child is very good. This way your child will develop a passion for reading.

How do you develop a passion for reading? There is only one way you can boost your passion for reading. Let me explain this to you. If you want to learn how to ride a bike, you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned. It works the same way with reading. If you want to boost your reading, take a book and read it all the way through. When you finish reading your first book, take another book and do the same. Try to read as much as you can. If you are going out, grab a magazine, a book, an article or something to read.

There is a very important factor behind the reading—reading comprehension. It’s what makes you understand the meaning behind the text.

The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and for the environment. Those findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.

David Tilman is a professor at the University of Minnesota. In the study, he examined information from 100 nations to show what people ate and how diet affected health. Mr. Tilman noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized(工业化), population increased and earnings rose. More people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet. The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker.

“The food, let us say, in the 15 richest nations of the world, right now contains about 400 or 500 extra calories(热量) a day that are eaten beyond what people need, and that leads people to gain weight.”

David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for diseases like diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. Diabetes is shooting to very high rates in the United States and across Europe. Heart disease is a major cause of death in the Western nations. Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these same health problems.

A diet bad for human beings, it seems, is also bad for the environment. As the world’s population grows, experts say more forests and areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for raising cattle. These areas will be needed to meet the increasing demand for food.

Mr. Tilman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health, “a dilemma”, a situation where it is very difficult to decide what to do. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.

1.Why did people get fatter in the 1960s?

A. They ate foods high in calories.

B. They adopted a western lifestyle.

C. They set aside little time for exercise.

D. They had a better life and became lazier.

2.According to the text, overweight people may suffer the following diseases EXCEPT_______.

A. diabetes B. skin disease

C. cancers D. heart disease

3.What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?

A. To tell people effective ways to keep healthy.

B. To call on people to give up the Western diet.

C. To show the problems industrialized nations are facing.

D. To draw people’s attention to environmental protection.
