Later the woman responsible (负责) for spreading the gossip learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.
    “Go to the marketplace,” he said. “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pluck (拔) its feathers and drop them one by one along the road. ” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.
    The next day the wise man said, “ Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me. ”
    The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.
    “ You see, ” said the old man, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back . So it is with gossip. It doesn’t take much to spread a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong.”

    A student newspaper reports that most students go to sleep at 1:30 am. Even if that’s an overstatement (夸张), it’s close to the truth. Scientists say teens should sleep nine hours each night. But that’s hard. Some are even “pulling all-nighters” (开夜车). These students must hand in their homework the next day but they haven’t done it. In the morning they don’t look healthy and you can tell who’s been doing it. One of my classmates did a survey on the topic. She found that most kids pull all-nighters to finish homework, but some do it for other reasons, such as playing computer games!
    Maybe our lack(缺乏) of sleep is because of laziness — I think I’m a rather lazy student — or maybe it’s because we have too much to do in American high schools. I usually go to bed around midnight. If I stayed up past 1:30 am, I wouldn’t get any work done. I’d be falling asleep at my computer. My classes begin at 7:30 am. I’m partly awake in my first class. By the second, I’m a little sleepy. By my third class, I’m sleepy. By midday I’m finally fully awake. But by 3:00 pm, I’m slowing down again. Yet I get more sleep than usual students.
    Most American high schools seem to have a similar(相似的) problem with sleepy students. High school classes start at 7:30 am, so students have to get up one and a half hours before that to get ready and catch the bus. It’s believed that lack of sleep can be bad for both grades and health. Some schools are paying attention. Classes in those schools start at 8:30 am.
    【小题1】What does the underlined sentence “it’s close to the truth” mean?
    A．It doesn’t tell the truth. B．It is quite true.
    C．It is impossible.D．I don’t think it’s right.
    【小题2】Why do most of the teens have to stay up late?
    A．They play computer games.B．They watch videos late.
    C．They have to do a lot of housework.D．They have to do a lot of homework.
    【小题3】When do students in most American high schools have to get up?
    A．At 7:30 am.B．At 6:00 am.C．At 9:00 am.D．At about 7:00 am.
    【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the reading?
    A．The writer usually stays up past 1:30 am.
    B．The writer usually goes to bed around midnight.
    C．The writer usually does a survey.
    D．Many American students don’t get enough sleep, so they can have high grades.
    【小题5】What’s the main idea of the passage?
    A．Something has to be done to solve the problem of students’ lack of sleep.
    B．Many American high school students are sleepy in class.
    C．Many kids have too much homework to do.
    D．Students can’t play computer games.

    Do you play a musical instrument? If so, you may be getting smarter. A recent study shows that taking music lessons can raise a person’s IQ.
    Scientists studied 132 children in Canadian schools. At the beginning of the school year, these children took an IQ test. Then they were divided into four groups. One group took singing lessons. Another group took weekly piano lessons. The third group took classes in drams(戏剧). And the last group did no special activities at all.
    At the end of the school year, the 132 children took an IQ test again. In all four groups, the average score went up. However, the piano players’IQs went up 7.0 points on average. The average increase for the other three groups was only 4.3 points.
    The researchers say that the difference is small and it may not result in better grades for the piano players. However, they still consider the results important. Learning an instrument helps kids becomes better at concentrating and at memorizing things. Therefore, the researchers say, it may be good for brain development in young people.
    If you have a chance to learn to play a musical instrument, never miss it. Remember it can make you smarter.
