         Weighing too much can damage your health, and fatness is a growing problem for both kids and adults around the world.
         Sleep might be one answer to the problem. A new study has found that elementary school students who slept too little were more likely to gain pounds.
         Past studies have shown a link between sleeping less and weighing more, but scientists have had a
    tough time determining "which came first, the chicken or the egg," says Julie C. Lumeng of the University of Michigan.
         To get a better idea of which causes which, Lumeng and colleagues interviewed the parents of 785
    third graders from around the United States. The parents answered questions about how well their kids
    slept that year. Three years later, the parents answered the same questions.
         By sixth grade, 18 percent of kids involved in the study were obese (肥胖的) . The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students' race or gender (性别). It also didn't matter how strict their
    parents were, or whether they were boys or girls. Obesity struck all of these groups equally.Instead, sleep seemed to be the key factor. Over the 3 years of the study, the children averaged a healthy 9.5 hours of
    sleep a night. Some kids, however, slept a lot more-- or less-- than others.
         For the sixth graders, every hour of sleep above the 9.5-hour average was linked to a 20 percent lower risk of being obese. Sleep appeared doubly important for the third graders. Every extra hour of sleep they got was linked to a 40% drop in obesity by sixth grade.
         "I expected we'd find that this sleep link with obesity was just a bunch of nonsense." says Lumeng, a
    pediatrician (儿科医生). But their findings were convincing. No matter how her team looked at the link, "we couldn't make it go away."
    1.Which of the following statements is TURE?
    A.More and more kids put on weight.
    B. 18% of the six graders were very fat.
    C.9.5 hours of sleep a night is harmful.
    D. Parents should be strict with their children.
    2. We can infer from the passage that            .
    A. the sixth graders need more sleep than the third graders
    B. the third graders need more sleep than the sixth graders
    C. boys and girls were quite different in sleeping hours
    D. after three years' study, the children had healthy sleeping hours
    3. What does the word "it" in the last line of the last paragraph refer to?
    A. Julie C. Lumeng's team.
    B. The conclusion of the study.
    C. The relation between less sleep and less weight.
    D. The relation between more sleep and less weight.
    4. What is the best title for the passage?
    A. Sleeping is Important
    B. Over Sleeping is Harmful
    C. Less Sleep, More Weight
    D. More Sleep, More Weight

         Christmas is a religious holiday. It is the day on which Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a happy holiday. Families come together to share their happiness, go to church, and exchange gifts. During the days before Christmas, parties are held in schools, offices, factories, and clubs; homes and stores are
    crowded with shoppers.
         Cities and towns in the United States sparkle with bright lights and decorations. Churches, homes,
    schools, shops, and streets are decorated with Christmas trees, colored lights, Santa Claus and his
    reindeer, and nativity scenes showing the stable where Jesus Christ was born. Store windows display gifts and Christmas scenes. The traditional colors for this holiday are red and green, and red poinsettia is
    considered as the Christmas flower. On Christmas Eve, President of the United States turns on the lights of the Christmas tree near the White House and sends his greetings to the nation.
         Families prepare for this holiday a few weeks before. They make special foods. They make and buy
    gifts. They wrap them with ornaments and lights. Houses are decorated with wreaths of holly, evergreens, and mistletoe. Many families share memories by following special ethnic Christmas traditions from their
    country of origin. On Christmas Eve, many read the famous prom A Visit from Saint Nicholas by Clement Moore. Children hang up stockings to receive gifts from Santa Claus. Schools usually have two weeks of
    vacation, and some families take vacations together.
         People wish each other "Merry Christmas" during this holiday season. In many states, people look
    forward to snow (White Christmas). Christmas carols are sung on the radio and in public places during this season. Some of the most famous carols are Silent Night, The First Noel, Joy to the World, and Jingle
    Bells. There are many shows on television called "Christmas Specials". Films like A Christmas Carol (by
    Charles Dickens) and Miracle on 34th Street are family favorites. Churches, organizations, and
    newspapers ask for donations of money and food for the needy. Volunteers from the Salvation Army stand outside stores collecting money for the same purpose. Meals are prepared and served to the poor and
    homeless.

         Football is, I suppose, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to one of the important
    matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting and cheering for
    one side or the other.
         One of the most surprising things about football in England to a stranger is the great knowledge of the
    game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the
     important teams. He has photographs of them and knows the results of a large number of matches. He will tell you, with a great air of authority, who he expects will win such and such a match, and his opinion is
    usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age.
         Most schools in England take football seriously--much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all-important, and games are left for private arrangements. In England, it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy's mind with facts in a classroom education also means
    character training. One of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games, where the boy has to learn to work with others for his team, instead of working selfishly for himself alone. The school therefore arranges games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game, it is good
    exercise for the body, it needs skill and a quick brain, it is popular and it is cheap. As a result, it is the
    school's favorite game in the winter.

    1. In England football is a game enjoyed______.
    A. only by young people
    B. only by rich people
    C. only by boys
    D. by people of all ages and classes
    2. A stranger in England will be surprised to find that in that country_____.
    A. people have little knowledge of football
    B. even small boys know a lot about football
    C. girls are more interested in football than boys
    D. children are not interested in football at all
    3. There is a great difference between schools in England and those in Europe in that_____.
    A. European schools take football seriously
    B. schools in England care little about lessons
    C. European schools often arrange football matches for their pupils
    D. schools in England believe character training to be part of education
    4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true of the football game?
    A.It is not expensive.
    B. It encourages cooperation.
    C. It makes people selfish.
    D. It is good for health.

         Let us suppose it is now AD 2060. Let's believe it is fifty-three years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
         Travels to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it
    was for the people in 1990 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many
    hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the
    beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window where everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and the old.
         What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. But many foods now come in pill
    form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
         Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,
    most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer
    destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and
    then.    
         People are now largely vegetarians. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes of diseases and pain and cures for them, and it is possible to get rid of
    diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
