Sleeping without worries about waking up too eary and enjoying wonderful dreams are like “ the castle in the sky” for many people; not everyone can get it. A study shows that only Americans sleep more than seven hours each day over surveying many countries, such as Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, etc. It is said that people over 20 should get seven hours of sleep each night and those under 20, one more hour of sleep. Sleeping less than six hours a night can make one get sick easily, lose his/her attention at school or at work and leave one 12% more likely to die before 65 years old.

25、A new taxi-hailing (打车) app on smart phones started to be in use in Shanghai in October, 2020, allowing users to hail a taxi with only one press (一键), as it requires no input of destination information. This app called “Shen Cheng Chu Xing” is more user-friendly. The setting is developed to offer more convenience to the elderly.

“Finally, I could manage to hail a taxi without my daughter’s help. It’s so amazing!” Wang Junxia, a 68-year-old lady said.

Supervised (监管) by the city government and SAIC Motor (上汽集团), the app will provide users with over 20,000 taxis by 100 taxi companies in the city.

The app can automatically (自动地) catch the real-time position of passengers and this will help drivers reach a pick-up position more efficiently and cut down the time of taxis hanging around the city without passengers, according to Yuan Dongliang, general manager of the app.

To make sure the safety of customers, all the taxi drivers must pass health and background checks before they can receive orders from the app.

26、 Water pollution happens when waste things from many areas are thrown into rivers,lakes and seas．

Industry

Many children were born with birth deformities(畸形)．As a result，people lost their，hearing and sight，and thousands of people died in the end．

27、   If you know a place really well, you might say that you know it "like the back of your hand". How well do you know the back of your hand, though? New research shows that we don't know as much about our hands as we think we do.

Wider and shorter

Professor Matthew Longo, at the University of London, tried an experiment. His team of researchers covered the left hands of 100 people. They then asked the people to point to where they thought their fingertips and knuckles(指关节)were. They found this very difficult.

"People think their hand is wider than it actually is," said Longo. Fingers also seem shorter.

Sense of position

"It is connected to our sense of position" explained Longo. This is our ability to tell where different parts of our bodies are, even when we can't see them. "It tells us whether a joint(关节) is straight or not," he said. It also tells us whether we are going up or down in an elevator. All the information comes from our nerves. It's like our brains have maps for the size and shape of our bodies. "This experiment tried to find those maps," said Longo.

Strength of feeling

These maps make mistakes. "Our brains see areas as larger where the skin feels touch strongly," said Longo. Body parts don't appear as their true size, but appear bigger or smaller depending on how strongly they feel touch. Our lips, for example, have more nerves than our noses, so our "maps" show lips as being bigger than our noses.

【1】What do we know about Longo's experiment?

A．It examined left-handed people.

B．People could find their knuckles.

C．People thought their hands were smaller than they actually were.

D．People thought their fingers were shorter than they actually were.

【2】What does the underlined "it" refer to?

A．The new experiment.

B．The misbelief people had.

C．The size of the hand.

D．The location information.

【3】Where does our sense of position come from?

A．The maps people draw.

B．The nerves in our brains.

C．Other people's descriptions.

D．The shape of our bodies.

【4】We can infer from the article that ________.

A．there are more nerves in the fingers than in the toes

B．our lips have a weaker sense of touch than our nose

C．the hand feels touch more strongly than fingers do

D．our brains can see the world better than other mammals

28、   As we all know, life is f【1】 of dreams and having a good dream is of great importance in our daily life. Without a good dream, people can’t make progress(进步); without a good dream, countries can’t d【2】; without a good dream, the world can’t become so beautiful! And I believe that everyone, the old or the y【3】, the poor or the rich, does have a good dream! After all, dreaming is certainly a part of our life, and wishing for good things, h【4】, costs nothing!

What’s more, it is important to fly our dreams, e【5】 for those who are Grade9 students. It is high time for them to fly their dreams. If they can’t let their dreams fly, the dream would just die!

Therefore, it is no wonder that so m【6】 people have a dream since their childhood. With a nice dream, China held the 29th Olympic Games successfully in 2008; with a nice dream, Hong Kong r【7】 to the motherland peacefully in 1997; with a nice dream, I can stand on this stage to take part in the final English speech competition. And in order to a【8】 success, I must do the best!

So my good friends, if you want to r【9】 your dream, please do not be a【10】 to face the difficulties. You must keep going forward bravely! Just fly your dream high above the sky!
