24、   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.

25、Guilin is my favorite city in China because of its beauty, its waterways, its cafes, and most of all because I met my wife there. It is her hometown and we will both retire there in a few years.

Not only is Guilin a fascinating city, but there are many interesting places to visit within a short drive from there.

The Ling Canal is the oldest canal in the world. It was built about 2,200 years ago and connects two major river systems, the Yangtze and the Pearl River.

The Longsheng Rice Terraces (梯田) is another man­made wonder that was built around 650 years ago.I have some photos of both of these places in my China Daily homepage Albums.

The Gudong Waterfall Park is another attraction that is worth visiting. The hike to the top of all these waterfalls isn't very difficult and if you want, you can take a ride to the bottom on a personal rail car (机动轨道车) that you control the speed with a brake.

If you want, you can also climb up some of the waterfalls with the help of chains that are placed for the convenience of amateur climbers (业余登山者)．

I have only been in Guilin during the winter and spring, but my wife tells me it gets pretty hot in the summer time. That's OK because I grew up in the Midwest of the US where it gets very hot and humid during the summer months.

But in Guilin almost everything is within walking distance and if you need to go further the buses come by every 5 minutes on the busy streets and every 10-15 minutes just about everywhere else. There are plenty of taxis, too, and most trips are only 6 yuan. It's a perfect place to retire.

A．遥控  B．刹车  C．方向盘  D．油门

26、In order to tell what I believe, I must bring up something from my personal history.

The turning point of my life was my decision to give up my promising business job and study music. My parents didn’t think it was a good choice I took up music as a job. Considering my family background, this was understandable. My grandfather had taught music for forty years at Spring Hill College. Although he was much loved by his students, he didn’t earn(挣钱) enough to provide for his large family. As a result of this example in the family, my parents strongly asked me to the college instead of a music school, and so to college I went.

Before my graduation from Columbia, the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and find a job. That was why I took a business job, which I always think of as the wasted years. I went into it for money, for being able to help the family. Money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by. I became very sad.

My wish was to save enough money to quit(退出) and go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, little by little, I saved enough to go abroad.

At that time, my family got out of the trouble. ____________, and so I gave up my position and sailed for Europe. I stayed four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working before, and enjoyed every minute of it.

“Enjoyed” is too soft a word. I walked on air. I really lived. When I broke away from business, it was against the advice of all my friends and family, but if I had stayed in business, I do not believe I would have made a success of living.

Money is a wonderful thing, but now I know that it is possible to pay too high a price for it.

【1】The writer gave his grandpa’s example in order to ______.

A. show how great his grandpa was   forty years ago

B. thank his parents’ support for studying in a music school

C. tell others that a musician wasn’t a good choice for the writer

D. explain why his parents disagreed him to take up music as a job

A. My dream came true at last   B. I went on to practice the violin

C. My family no longer needed my help   D. I made so much money to support my family

【3】The underlined sentence “I walked on air” means the writer______.

A. couldn’t find his place in a new environment   B. couldn’t make a success of living

C. felt free because he was doing what he loved   D. felt a pity for beginning new life

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Life in a Business World.   B. Money Is Success.

C. Stick to Something in Your Life.   D. Learning Music in Europe.

We talk and connect while we are doing it, so that is the fun.And we’ve been doing more activities together, like reading aloud at night.

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)

How can you be sure that you know w【1】 you know? That may sound silly but it’s really a serious question. Have you ever “thought” you knew something but when it came time to write in the exam you discovered that you r【2】 didn’t “know” it, after all.

Strategies (策略) you can use

When that happens, it isn’t because you have a bad memory, it’s because the things you are trying to r【3】 haven’t been properly learned.

Luckily, there are strategies you can use to help you learn difficult things. And scientists say that there is even a part of your brain that can “predict” whether this new knowledge has been completely u【4】.

Judgement of learning

Scientists call this predicting, the “judgement of learning”. It really just means looking over your own shoulder w【5】 you are studying and asking yourself, “Do I really get this?” And if you don’t, it means adjusting your “strategy” until you do.

Here’s one strategy:

Set a short-term goal to learn something.

Study as you normally would.

Answer some test questions to g【6】 some feedback.

Use that feedback to work on your weak points.

In the driver’s seat

Developing the ability to “judge” your own learning needs a lot of p【7】. But it can be a very useful skill. It puts you in the driver’s seat and in charge of your own studies. In effect, it lets you know that you really know what you think you know. You know?
