         Do You Go To Sleep In Class?
         The "Acronym", our student newspaper, reports that most students go to sleep at 1: 30 a. m. Even if
     that's an exaggeration (夸张), it's too close to the truth. Scientists say teenagers should sleep nine hours
     each night. But that's hard to do.
         Some even "pull all-nighters". These are lazy students who have homework due (到期) the next day
      that they haven't done. In the morning they don't look healthy and you can tell who has been doing it.
         One of my classmates did a survey (调查) on the problem. 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 of sleep is because of laziness-I think I'm a 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 a. m, I wouldn't get any work done. I'd be
      falling asleep at my computer. My classes begin at 7:30 a.m. I'm partly awake in my first class. By the
      second, I'm slightly tired and sleepy. By my third class, I'm sleepy. By midday I'm finally wide-awake.
     But by 3: 00 p. m., I'm slowing down again.
         Most American high schools seem to have such a problem.
         High school classes start at 7: 30 a. m., so students have to wake up one and a half hours before that to
      get ready and catch the bus. It's believed that lack of sleep can damage both grades and health.
         Some schools are paying attention. Classes in those schools start at 8:30 a. m.
    1. What's the problem talked about in the passage?
        A. Many kids have too much homework to do.
        B. Many teenagers don't have enough sleep.
        C. Many children are crazy about playing computer games.
        D. Many kids are too lazy to finish their homework on time.
    2. The underlined expression "pull all-nighters" most probably means _____.
        A. 开夜车
        B. 上夜班
        C. 睡懒觉
        D. 补作业
    3. Which of the following is NOT a reason mentioned in the passage?
        A. Laziness.  
        B. Homework.
        C. Housework.  
        D. Computer games.
    4. What's the idea suggested at the end of the passage?
        A. Later start of classes.  
        B. Less homework.
        C. Going to bed early.  
        D. Eating healthy food.

         Will Chips One Day Be Planted In Our Bodies For Identification?
         A US doctor has planted under his skin a computer chip (芯片)that can send personal information to
     a scanner (扫描仪). It's a technology that may someday be widely used as a way to identify (识别)
     people. The chip gives off information which will be scanned by a hand-held reader.
         The chip is similar to that planted in more than 1 million dogs, cats and other pets in recent years to
      track (跟踪) and identify them.
         The doctor decided to test the chip himself after the World Trade Center disaster (灾难). The dead
     could have been identified if their names and other important information had been chipped.
         Officials of the company said they hope to sell the chips to patients with man-made arms or legs or
      other body parts. The idea is that the chip will provide immediate and correct medical information when it
      is needed.
         The information can contain (包括) name, telephone number and other information. Or it can send out 
     a message that, when connected to a computer, can call up records. The scanner can read it through
      clothes from over a meter away. The new product also could be used to control prisoners. Workplaces
      of great importance may want to use the chips for employees, too. Some parents may consider planting
     chips in young children or elderly relatives who may be unable to say their names, addresses or telephone
      numbers.
         Some medical and technology specialists (专家) said the product raises new questions about the
     relationship between humans and computer technology and could cause problems if it is used against some
     one's wishes, or if your personal information is read by those who should not see it.
    1. According to the passage, computer chips have already been used to _____.
        A. catch escaped prisoners
        B. find missing children
        C. follow lost animals  
        D. treat sick people
    2. The doctor decided to test the chips himself because he believed that _____.
        A. nobody would dare to try it
        B. they can be used for identification purposes (目的)
        C. it has been proved successful on animals
        D. his patients expected him to experience it first
    3. Which of the following statements is best supported by the text?
        A. This chip has been proved to be very successful.
        B. The use of this chip will be favored by everybody.
        C. There will be a great market for chip planting in humans.
        D. Doctors will make good money by using chips.
    4. What problem may be caused by planting chips in the human body?
        A. People will be controlled by computers.
        B. Computers could send out wrong information.
        C. Chips can be the cause of diseases.
        D. Information may be used improperly.

         Geography is the study of Earth and its climates. Scientists use it to study global (全球的) warming and
     track (跟踪) the weather. Governments use it to learn where people live and work and to plan what to do
      with the land. It is now easier than ever to use geography because of a science called space technology.
         The United States launched its first satellite in 1958. Some space missions (使命) that followed were
      geographical studies. In fact, earth science is a big part of the work of the National Aeronautics and
     Space Administration(NASA).
         Astronauts looked out of the space shuttle (航天飞机). They decided to take photographs of Earth
     from their vantage point. Over the years, picture quality improved. Shuttle photography now shows land
     features, such as rivers. It can even show the streets of large cities. Photos of the same places at different
     times show how the land is changing.
         NASA does not use just photographs, though. In 1958 it launched TIROS (the Television Infrared
     Observation Satellite). This first use of a satellite to study Earth was effective (有效的) in giving weather
      forecasts. It led to the creation of new space tools to use in geography.
         The Landsat Program began in 1972. This satellite sent detailed (细致的) views of Earth from space.
     The pictures were so precise (精确) that scientists could count the number and kinds of crops in a field.
     Landsat showed where Earth's surface had faults along which earthquakes might happen. This information
      helped in the planning of new cities and factories. Landsat also made discoveries. In Antarctica it located
      ranges of unknown mountains. It pinpointed small lakes. in Virginia that were not on maps. Landsat, now
      more advanced, still flies today.
         Another space tool is Earth Observing-1(EO-1). This spacecraft flies right behind Landsat. It takes
     pictures of the same sites. The two sets of pictures, viewed together, show how cities grow and how other
      places, such as rain forests, become smaller over time. This helps scientists learn how people affect (影
     响) geography.
         One of the newest space tools is the Geographical Information Systems(GIS). GIS is computer
     software  that helps scientists to study Earth. GIS is different from earlier space tools. Businesses, schools,
      and even average people--not just the government--can use it to show them how changes in the planet
     might affect them.
    1. Why do governments study geography according to the passage?
        A. To improve the environment.
        B. To make the land use plan.
        C. To make new discoveries.
        D. To count the crops in a field.
    2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
        A. The U.S. satellite program began in 1972.
        B. Landsat was able to take pictures of other planets.
        C. TIROS was successful in giving weather forecasts.
        D. GIS can only be used by the government.
    3. EO-1 takes photographs of the same places as Landsat because _____.
        A. the two groups of pictures can show the changes of Earth
        B. EO-1 is practicing for future photography missions
        C. Landsat is out of date and new pictures are needed
        D. Landsat can't send detailed views of Earth from space
    4. From the passage, we can infer that _____.
        A. GIS is the newest computer to study Earth
        B. NASA only depends on photos to study Earth
        C. satellite pictures can give more detailed information
        D. recent U. S. satellites are as advanced as the old ones

         Eating in space is different from eating on Earth. The food that astronauts carry with them does not look
      like the food you eat.
         Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen (冷冻) before the astronauts get it. All the
      water is removed from the food. In the spaceship, the astronaut puts the water back. He "shoots" hot or
     cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag. Other
     foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There can be no crumbs
     (碎屑). Crumbs would float (漂浮) around the spaceship and get in the way. Meat and cake often come
     in bite-size pieces.
         Astronauts cannot drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is
      put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth.
         Eating in space is not easy. Astronauts must learn to eat in their way.
    1. What is the food carried in closed bags by astronauts like?
        ___________________________________________________________________.
    2. How do the astronauts eat food in space?
        ___________________________________________________________________.
    3. How do the astronauts drink water in space?
        ___________________________________________________________________.
    4. Why can't the astronauts drink water from open cups?
        ___________________________________________________________________.
    5. What is the main idea of the passage?
        _______________________________________________________________.
