25、Mexican people have a tradition of greeting each other with handshakes and kisses on the cheek. But recently, the government asked people to stop doing this. They have also closed schools and museums, and advised people to stay at home. This is to stop people from catching an infectious (传染性的) disease, swine flu (猪流感). The disease has spread over the country in the past month. It has killed 159 people and caused 4,000 to become sick. What is swine flu? Swine flu is a disease that causes illness in pigs. It spreads to people in two ways. They catch the virus (病毒) after being with infected pigs, or they get it from an infected person.The disease spreads in the same way as human flu, through coughs and sneezes, or by touching a contaminated surface (被污染的表面) and then touching the nose or mouth. However, it cannot be spread by eating pork. People who have caught swine flu will have a fever, a cough, a sore throat and body aches. In most cases, the infection makes people unwell but their lives will not be in danger.   How serious is the situation? Since swine flu started in Mexico about a month ago, it has spread to a few other countries. The US has reported 65 cases and Canada has reported 13 cases. Other countries are checking for possible cases. Last week, the World Health Organization said the flu was a “public health emergency (紧急情况)”. It says the disease could become a global outbreak. A few governments around the world have advised people in their countries not to visit Mexico. Some countries have begun checking air travelers for the disease. Russia, China and other countries have stopped buying pork from Mexico, though the flu cannot be caught by eating the meat. Health experts advise people to wash their hands frequently, to cover coughs and sneezes and to stay home if they feel ill.

26、   In today's world, sleep experts say that for a better night's rest, Americans should turn off their smartphones or iPads before sleeping. Such electronic products make the brain more active, and then influence people's sleep. But according to a latest survey, more than 90% of Americans usually use a computer or some other kinds of electronic products in the hour before bed.

Researchers found that man-made light from some electronic products at night might reduce the levels of the brain chemicals that help sleep. The researchers showed that sitting in the light from tablets clearly reduced the levels of the chemicals which manage our body clocks and play a great role in the sleep cycle.

In the study, the researchers let volunteers read, play games and watch movies on a tablet for different time while measuring how much light their eyes received. They found that sitting for two hours before a bright tablet at night reduced the levels of the chemicals by about 22%.

Studies of students using computers at night have got the similar results. And researchers said that might not only cause sleeplessness, but also increase the risk of obesity(肥胖症), diabetes(糖尿病) and other diseases.

To be on the safe side, the researchers advise us to use computers less before bed, or turn down our screens low.

【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A.Americans don't get enough sleep. B.Electronic products are very popular.

C.The brain becomes more active at night. D.Sleep experts never use smartphones.

【2】How many electronic products influence people's sleep?

A.By making our brains more tired. B.By making our bodies weak.

C.By reducing the levels of the brain chemicals that help us sleep. D.By changing our body clocks.

【3】What does the underlined word "that" refer to?

A.Making a survey about sleep. B.Using smartphones in the daytime.

C.Sitting in a bright room. D.Surfing the Internet at night.

【4】What do the researchers advise us to do to have a good sleep?

A.Learn to use smartphones or iPads. B.Watch some relaxing TV programs.

C.Turn down the screens low. D.Try to sleep earlier than before.

28、   More and more people can drive today. So there are a lot of cars on the street. At this time, many driving direction apps 【1】 (use) very widely in our daily life. Now driving is very different.

But a wrong direction app may make it hard to find the place. It happens to everyone. The direction app tells you 【2】 (turn) left, but there’s no street there. It says you should make a U-turn, but there is a sign 【3】 (tell) drivers not to make U-turns.

An app is helping with directions, but you should know 【4】 you are going and what is happening on the roads. There is a man who is driving 【5】 a new city. He doesn’t know the way well, 【6】 he opens his direction app and hopes that will help. But some minutes later, he and his car are in a lake. The app tells him to drive on a 【7】 (break) bridge.
