    Researchers(研究者) say that nearly two thirds of children don’t get enough sleep, and this can make them nervous and slower at school. So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don’t get enough sleep at night, you’ll have less energy the next day.

    A report shows that children sleep less because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents don’t read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional “bedtime story” helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms were more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight hours sleep. Even losing one hour’s sleep a night can mean that children do worse than usual at school.

    British scientists think that your brain(大脑) keeps working while you’re asleep. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. You want to know the result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly. Researchers explained that their brains were trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you’ll be at your best tomorrow!

    　 B. Sleeping makes you need less energy.

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet．He held a sign which said, "I am blind．Please help me．"

    　　There were only a few coins in the hat．A man was walking by．He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat．He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it．He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words．

    　　Soon the hat began to fill up．A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy．That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were．The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write? "

    　　The man said, "I only wrote the truth．I said what you said, but in a different way．"

    　　What he had written was, "Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it．"

    　　Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

    　　Of course both signs told people the boy was blind．But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat．The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind．

    　　The first sign simply said the boy was blind．While the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind．

    　　There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story．

    For hundreds of years, Japan has been hit, from time to time, by enormous (巨大的) tsunamis（海啸）. These awful sudden risings of the sea are caused by earthquakes or underwater volcanic actions. The story of the boy Yuuki is the story of such a disaster.
    Yuuki lived with his family in a seaside village, below a small mountain. One day, as he played on top of the mountain, Yuuki felt a small earthquake but it was not strong enough to frighten anybody and passed quickly. Soon after, however, Yuuki noticed the sea darken and begin running away from the shore very fast, leaving behind wide stretches of beach that had never been seen before.
    With a grasp, Yuuki remembered reading that just before a terrible tsunami, the sea suddenly and quickly rolls backward. He ran to the beach, warning the villagers who had gathered to admire the new beach land.
    “Get back!” shouted the boy, “There is a terrible danger!”
    But no one listened. They laughed at him and continued playing in the new sand and watched the sea roll backward even more.
    Desperate, Yuuki could think of only one thing to do. He lit a tree branch, raced to the rice fields and began burning the harvested rice. Then he called out, “Fire! Fire! Everyone run to the mountain! Now!”
    When everyone reached the mountain-top, a villager cried out, “Yuuki is mad! I saw him set the fire.” Yuuki hung his head in shame, but said nothing as the villagers cursed him. Just then, someone shouted, “Look!”
    In the distance what seemed to be a huge dark line was speeding towards the shore. As it got nearer the people realized the long thin line of darkness was the returning sea, towering like a mountain.
    The villagers watched in terror as the water struck the shore, smashing over their homes then tearing out the land as it receded.
    On the mountain everyone stared speechlessly at the destruction below.
    “I'm sorry I burned the fields,” said Yuuki, his voice trembling.
    “Yuuki,” village-chief answered. “You saved us all.”
    The villagers cheered and raised Yuuki into the air. “We were going to
    celebrate our rice harvest tonight,” said one, “but now we’ll celebrate that we’re all still alive!”
    小题1:Where was Yuuki when the earthquake struck?
    A．On the beach.
    B．On the mountain.
    C．In the rice fields.
    D．At his family home.

    c. The land was torn away by the water.
    d. Yuuki ran to warn the villagers.
    e. The villagers stared at the destruction.
    f. The people were cursing Yuuki.
    A．d, b, e, a, c, f
    B．b, a, d, e, c, f
    C．d, b, a, f, c, e
    D．a, d, b, e, f, c
    小题3:How did Yuuki save the villagers from the disaster?
    A．He told them about the earthquake.
    B．He explained why the sea was flowing out.
    C．He told the village chief to warn the people.
    D．He set fire to the rice field.
    小题4:What were the people planning to do before the tsunami struck their village?
    A．Harvest the rice crop.
    B．Play on the beach.
