26、One in every five young people has a sleep problem, so you’re not alone. Getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It’s very important for your body. Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine hours. And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping on weekends. It doesn’t really work. In fact, sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm that good, if you have sleep problems.
What happens if you don’t get enough sleep? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights, you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse, if your sleep difficulties last a long time, that could lead to anxiety or depression(抑郁). Therefore, you’ve got to have some healthy sleep habits. Below are some suggestions:
GO to bed at the same time—including weekends, if possible.
WAKE up around the same time every morning. When you wake up late just one morning during the week, it may disturb your body clock. This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.
DO something relaxing before going to bed.
EXERCISE during the day. Don’t exercise right before going to bed.
AVOID drinking alcohol. Alcohol makes you excited. This prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night.
DON’T smoke. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps you awake. If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. Do not take any sleeping pills without first asking your doctor. Many have strong side effects.
【1】According to the passage, if you have sleep problems for a few nights, you could be _____.
A. lonely B. serious
C. forgetful D. depressed
【2】The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should _____.
A. eat vegetables and exercise regularly B. make up for lost sleep on weekends
C. follow a fixed timetable for sleep D. sleep seven hours every day
【3】We can learn from the suggestions that _____.
A. waking up late one morning makes it easier to fall asleep that night
B. listening to soft music before going to bed may help you fall asleep
C. smokers and those who drink alcohol usually have no sleep problems
D. exercising in the evening will help you get to sleep
【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Sleep problems are serious among young people.
B. Sleeping late on weekends can make up for lost sleep.
C. Your eating habits will be broken because of lack of sleep.
D. You’ll no longer have your sleep problem if you try the tips.
27、 Giving is one of the main ways of understanding the value of money—but it often gets ignored. When we pay close attention to what we want for Christmas or birthdays and spending lots of money on our loved ones, why not take the time to teach your sons or daughters a little bit about giving back? Here are 4 activities which can help your children know what is the real meaning of “giving".
Donating (捐赠)Online
Because your children have seen all the fun and games from the charity organization Children in Need fundraising, it's the perfect time to show them how easy it is to donate money to charity online and how rewarding this can be.

Whether it's clearing rubbish from a park or visiting the elderly, volunteering is certainly the most direct way for your children to understand what we mean when we say “giving". This really helps understand the value of giving some of their time.
Time: Monday every summer vacation
Getting Them to Actively Raise Money for Something
Help them discover something they really care about and get their mind set on how they could raise some money for people in need.

28、 Once upon a time, there lived a rich man. He had a servant (仆人). He and the servant loved wine and good food very much. Each time the rich man left his home, the servant would drink the wine and eat up all the nice food in the house. The rich man knew what his servant did, but he had never caught his servant doing that.
One morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, “Here are two bottles of poison (毒药) and some nice food in the house. You must take care of them.” With these words, he went out.
But the servant knew that the rich man had said was untrue. After the rich man was away from his home, he enjoyed a nice meal. Because he drank too much, he was drunk and fell to the ground. When the rich man came back, he couldn’t find his food and his wine. He became very angry. He woke the servant up. But the servant told his story very well. He said a cat had eaten up everything. He was afraid to be punished(惩罚), so he drank the poison to kill himself.

29、Underground farming, as the name may suggest, is the practice of growing food underground. 【1】 Food can then be grown in stable, predictable and sustainable ways there.
Until recently, underground farming is a recent and important trend, but why? Because of its potential (潜力) and the benefits that it brings.
·【2】
It has been estimated that even if cities were to build rooftop greenhouses on every possible building and fill the parking spots with growing containers — it would only be able to reach around 5% of the crop requirements of the city. 【3】 Rooftop greenhouses, on the other hand, require buildings that have very large flat roofs and are strong enough structurally, yet most buildings simply don’t have that. That’s where underground farms stand out. They require less surface space and can be applied to almost any new building.
·Lowers Heating Costs for Building Above
Even the most efficient LED lights generate waste heat, which means that they heat up the farm, and for most modern indoor farms that's a major issue because not only energy is lost through lighting, but it's also required to cool down the farm. 【4】 Besides, people are working on ways to recycle the waste heat in order to help heat the building above and reduce its energy.
·Enables Farming in Unfriendly Environments
Obviously when going under a certain depth, the weather and environmental conditions of the surface have no effect on the growing environment. 【5】
A.Replaces rooftop greenhouses.
B.Increases the urban farming capacity (容量).
C.Underground farms have a big advantage here.
D.It aims at creating stable underground environments.
E.Growing in cities is highly limited due to less empty space.
F.Underground farms can reduce that waste of energy as much as possible.
G.So it's possible to build productive farms in deserts and even mountainous areas.
