    A beautiful and very successful actress was the star for a new musical show. Her home was in the country, but she didn’t want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the center of the city, got some beautiful furniture and got a man to paint the rooms in new colour.
    It was very difficult to get tickets for her show in the evening, because everyone wanted to see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of month, when she got the painter’s bill. At the bottom of it were these words: “Four hours from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. watching Miss Hall sing and dance: 3 pounds,” with this note: “Before 5:00 p.m. I get 10 shillings (先令)an hour and after 5:00 p.m. 15 shillings.”

    A study finds that not enough morning light causes teenagers not to get enough sleep at night. “As teenagers spend more time indoors, they miss necessary morning light. Day light is needed to keep the balance of the body’s 24-hour biological system (生物系统), which regulates (调节) body temperature and sleep styles,” reports Dr. Mariana Figueiro. “These teenagers who receive little morning light are going to bed later, getting less sleep and doing badly in tests. They are more likely to fail in their exams.”
    In the study, Dr. Figueiro asked 11 students in Grade 8 to wear special glasses to prevent blue morning light from reaching their eyes. At the end of the 5-day study she found that they fell asleep 30 minutes later than usual.
    Throughout her research, Dr. Figueiro has been very worried about teenagers going to bed too late. The problem is that today’s schools require teenagers to be in school very early in the morning. These students are likely to miss the morning light because they often go to school before the sun is up or as it’s just rising.
    Furthermore (此外), the schools are not likely to provide enough electric light to keep the balance of this biological system. Our biological system is much more sensitive (敏感的) to blue light. Therefore, having lots of light in the classroom does not make sure that there is enough light to keep our biological system balanced.

    1. 1.

      Which of the following is the result of the study?

      1. A.
        Blue light in the morning harms the biological system.
      2. B.
        Not enough morning light keeps teenagers sleep less.
      3. C.
        Not getting more light in the morning make teenagers happy.
      4. D.
        Not enough sleep makes teenagers fail in tests.
    2. 2.

      We know from the passage that morning light __________.

      1. A.
        has the same effects as afternoon light
      2. B.
        may change studying habits of teenagers
      3. C.
        is important to children’s biological system
      4. D.
        has no effect on students’ tests
    3. 3.

      What’s the problem of the students according to the study?

      1. A.
        There are not enough electric lights in the classroom.
      2. B.
        Being in school early affects their study habits.
      3. C.
        They have to go to bed very early to have enough sleep.
      4. D.
        They go to school too early to get enough morning light.

    In the sea there are many islands. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them coral(珊瑚) islands.
    A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass, and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.
    If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers.
    If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.
    They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.
    Then the sea brought to it small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island. The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.
    So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. Don’t they teach us a lesson? Can you think what the lesson is?

    At 18, many American young people go off on their own. They go away to college or find full-time jobs, and they often rent their own apartments. Some get married and start families.

At 3, many children do simple chores like setting the table.
