26、Most children are now working longer hours than their parents with some saving for over 46 hours a week, according to a new survey.

The research shows that parents are creating crazy schedules for their children with after school activities in addition to school tasks. This means children are actually working harder than the average parents who only work for 37.5 hours a week.

The average child already completes 30 hours and 50 minutes a week at school from Monday to Friday, as well as seven hours and 51 minutes of clubs and homework. Actively reading with parents daily takes a further five hours and 49 minutes a week. The Center Parcs study of 2,000 parents also found the average child also helps with housework for up to an hour and 37 minutes each week.

Colin Whaley, marketing director from Center Pares, said, “We made this report to further understand family life and what challenges parents and children are facing and overcoming, so we can always make sure we’re offering what they need. What has undoubtedly come out of this is the need for families—parents and children alike—to take time out to relax.”

In response to the findings, Center Parcs let child psychologist(心理学家)Dr Sam Wass to develop a Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for free time which needs three hours and 51 minutes every day. The RDA provides a variety of free-time activities, which will allow children to use their imagination and develop creative thinking.

27、   Sleeping is important, but we all know that, right? Many people have experienced strange sleeping patterns, unusual dreams and a feeling of restlessness and sleepiness during the coronavirus lockdown, despite a good night’s sleep. So what sort of things can help you to improve your sleep?

Wrong Habits

Many myths related to sleep can be quite damaging for our health. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher famously claimed that she only hit the sack for five hours a night. But according to experts this is harmful to health.

Likewise, falling asleep in front of the TV is another thing to avoid. The bright lights can prevent you from entering deep sleep.

Wrong Ways to Help Go to Sleep

From a young age we’re told to count sheep to help us to nod off, with some choosing to stay in bed to battle with insomnia (失眠). However, some experts advise getting up and doing something mindless, like folding socks, to help us get in the mood to catch forty winks.

Psychologist Seth J. Gillihan PhD. recommends walking to help in the battle against insomnia. He talks about a sleep study published in the journal Sleep Health which suggests that those who walk slightly more will experience better quality and length of sleep. Watching what you eat or drink can also improve the amount of REM, or rapid eye movement you experience.

Snoring (打鼾)Can be Dangerous

If you’re a snorer, you might also want to take note. While most breathing noisily is harmless, it could be a sign of sleep apnoea, with people suffering from the condition more likely to have strokes or heart attacks, irregular heartbeats or high blood pressure.

A Short Sleep during the Day May Refresh You

Finally, decent nap, or even- power nap, can help you to be more alert, calm and focused. So while there are some good tips like exercising or folding socks to help us get a good night’s sleep, sometimes a good afternoon’s sleep can help us deal with the day ahead.

【1】Why do some people still feel tired and sleepy in spite of having a good night sleep according to the passage?

A．They have slept for too long.

B．Their sleeping quality needs improving.

C．Their dream should be nice and happy.

D．Coronavirus lockdown makes them depressed.

【2】Which fact is NOT true?

A．Hitting the sack is bad for health.

B．Five hours is not enough for people to keep fit.

C．The bright lights of TV will stop people sleeping soundly.

D．Margaret Thatcher didn’t have a healthy sleeping habit.

【3】The author will agree that ________.

A．Snoring will surely result in damage to people’s health.

B．When one is sleepy, quick eye movements increase.

C．A decent nap will affect your night sleep

D．Taking exercise may do good to your afternoon sleep.

【4】You may read this passage in ________.

A．a psychology textbook

B．a medical essay collection

C．a health and care section in a newspaper

D．an advertising leaflet in a drug store

28、Online learning is now becoming very popular around the world. As we know, it allows people to learn at home and people can learn the courses from anywhere in the world. Anyone who wants to learn something can enroll (注册) into a good school offering online courses and complete their education. Besides being convenient, there is no age limit; one can take a course anytime and at any point in their career.

Online learning also means that people have more time for their own life while continuing their education. They are able to learn when it’s convenient for them, and in many cases the courses can be completed in less time than at a traditional school. People can go to work during the day and finish their homework at night. Parents can spend time with their children and then complete online classes when their children are at school or asleep. Since people don’t have to take part in any classroom activities, it does not do any harm to their lives. They can work and learn at any time of the day and at their own speed.

Many people find that online courses are less expensive than traditional ones. Classroom teaching is usually expensive and not suitable for a lot of people. Through online learning, one can save a lot. People don’t have to spend more money on traveling, staying in hotels or eating in restaurants. Online courses are a good choice for those who are short of money but want to learn something and improve themselves. According to the U.S. Department of Education, students learning online have not only saved a lot of money but also performed better than those learning in traditional schools.

Of course, online learning requires a regimented lifestyle and the ability to learn on one’s own. For people who are not strict with themselves, online learning can be a real challenge. For busy people who take online classes, time management can be a challenge. They have to decide for themselves when to work on class tasks and how long they will need in order to finish the work. So, people must think about all of these things before making a choice.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands. I fumbled (抚弄) with the string and then, unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I opened it. It was a shiny, brand new laptop. I had scored straight As for my O level examination and this was my reward. I had always envied my friends who were exchanging news about “chat rooms”,“instant messaging” and “e-mailing”, all of which I knew nothing about. Now I was going to find out.

It started out simply enough. I was searching for some information online when I chanced upon a social networking site. Soon I became glued to my new-found electronic friend. I began to spend more and more time on YouTube and became trapped by Facebook and Twitter. I had never imagined that the day would come when I would be addicted to the glowing screen before me. Whenever I was not glued to these social networking sites, I would be going through gossip or fashion websites.

As time passed, I realized that I was hooked on the Internet. During weekends, when I had more time on my hands, I could easily spend a few hours on my laptop. It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room, refusing to come out and take part in family discussions. I preferred to stay connected to the people I befriended in cyberspace although I had never met them. Soon I was spending the small hours of the morning glued to the Internet. Sleep was no longer complete and continuous but divided into small pieces. My grades at school also began worsening.
