26、   Your alarm goes off on your phone, and instead of turning it off and going on sleeping, you pick it up and stupidly say, “Hello?”

You are, to use the technical term, suffering sleep drunkenness (迷糊), those first few confused minutes people sometimes experience after waking, according to a just-published paper in Neurology (神经学). For the first time, the phenomenon has been studied in a general adult population.

In telephone interviews the researchers conducted with more than 19,000 healthy individuals, about 25 percent reported experiencing some sort of sleep-drunk episode (插曲) in the last year, and 12 percent said this happens to them at least once a week.

Most of their stories were actually pretty funny, said Stanford University School of Medicine psychiatrist (精神病学家) Maurice Ohayon. One man picked up his alarm clock and mistook it for his phone, holding a two-minute conversation on it. Another participant woke in the middle of the night and couldn’t find the bathroom in her own home. Other common examples are that foggy feeling you get when you first wake up with a start on a Saturday before realizing it’s the weekend, or when you wake up in a hotel room and can’t immediately figure out where you are.

Ohayon explains that a sudden awakening, to our poor, half-asleep brains, signals an emergency - a time for action, not reason.

“For most people, and especially if this only happens to you every once in a while, it’s nothing to worry about. But for people who experience sleep drunkenness once a week or more, you might as well refer to professional help to have a sound sleep.”

【1】The intended readers of the passage are probably ___________.

A.adults who don’t sleep well

B.teenagers who don’t have enough sleep

C.people who suffer sleep drunkenness

D.researchers who are fond of sleep disorder

【2】We can know from the first three paragraphs that ___________.

A.it’s stupid to leave the alarm on when sleeping

B.after waking all people struggled for awareness

C.there are many studies on adults’ sleep patterns

D.it’s common for adults to suffer sleep drunkenness

【3】What do we know about sleep drunkenness from the fourth paragraph?

A.It leads to different reactions.

B.It comes without any reason.

C.It hits when people are working.

D.It attacks those who are depressed.

【4】What will be talked about after the last paragraph?

A.Something to expand your sleep time.

B.Ways to improve your sleep pattern.

C.Methods of curing sleep drunkenness.

D.Tips on how to help you to sleep better.

27、Mail lay scattered across the kitchen table. I couldn’t put off sorting through it any longer. I checked the envelopes, putting aside the ones addressed to my husband.

It had been over three years since Bob had died. To friends and family it looked like I had moved past the worst of my sorrow. I took care of my house, socialized and kept up with community. On the outside everything appeared to be normal. But inside I was anything but I worried I would never get better, never be myself again. They say sorrow has no set time limit, but I was so tired of feeling empty and hopeless. My sorrow was sharp and fresh as ever. It was like a wall of pressure in my chest, pressing my heart.

I picked up a piece of Bob’s mail and held it out to tear in half, but stopped myself from cutting up the envelope. The letter was from an organization that funded a Haitian orphanage called My Father’s House. Its founder, Carol Hawthorne, had given a presentation at our church. Bob and I had donated, and Bob ended up on the mailing list to receive the newsletter (通讯) with updates on the children.

I hadn’t read one since Bob died. But just three months before, in January 2012, the country had been hit by a terrible earthquake. In my depressed state, it hadn’t even occurred to me to wonder whether the orphanage had survived. I opened the newsletter and was surprised to find out that My Father’s House was still standing. Of course now it was more crowded than ever. At the bottom of the page was an announcement about an upcoming trip to visit the orphanage in person. “I should go.” The thought wouldn’t leave me. I contacted Carol Hawthorne.“What would I do if I go?” I asked.“Build houses?”

“The Haitian people there are eager to work and they know what they’re doing,” said Carol. “What they need are raw materials, and we provide them. We also visit with the children. We go to clinics and schools, pass out supplies. You’ll be very busy, I promise!” I reserved a seat but didn’t mention it to any of my friends. Just a few weeks later, I was at the airport with seven strangers, waiting to board a plane to Haiti. Even after takeoff I wasn’t really sure of what I was doing.

In Haiti we were met by Pastor Ronald Lefranc, the director of My Father’s House. We piled into an old school bus and drove over uneven roads full of stones and mud. We passed women shaking under the weight of huge water buckets balanced on their heads. Piles of rubbish scattered across the landscape, and the land was covered with broken tents. Finally we pulled up to the orphanage. A crowd of children—52 in all—rushed up to greet us. I couldn’t understand the words of the song they sang in Creole, but with the smiles on their faces I didn’t need to. Each child planted a big kiss on my cheek.

Carol and Pastor Ronald led us into the main building. “What are those over there?” I asked, pointing to a collection of thin tents. “Is there not enough room in the building for all the children?”

“We have the room,” said Pastor Ronald. “But many of these children came here after the earthquake. They still don’t feel safe sleeping under a roof.”

There was no sign of fear in the playroom inside. I played dolls and other games. Children I’d just met presented me with pictures they’d drawn and letters written in Creole. In the evening the children gathered in the dining room. They took turns reading aloud and then they all joined in song. The words were strange, but the tune sounded familiar.

They’d lost so much, yet were so joyful. In the evening the children gathered in the dining room. One of the older children stood up to speak and then they all joined in song. The words were strange, but the tune sounded familiar. The children settled down. In the silence, a quiet noise began.

28、“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to everyone.Parents can help you.Teachers can help you.Others can help you.But all these only help you to help yourself.

There have been many great men in history.But many of them were poor in childhood, and had no uncles，aunts or friends to help them.Schools were few and not very good.They could not depend on them for education.They saw how it was, and set to work with all their strength to know something.They worked their own way till they became well­known.

One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I can not make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”

Some young men do not try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings.They can never gain achievements  unless  they  see  their  weak­points  and change their courses.They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own honest efforts.

29、In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her soft voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. 【1】At that time, the girl knew she had misspelled the word.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

“How can I buy a present without any money?” he thought.

Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree (狂欢购物) for her,” said the ad.

“This is perfect!” thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper. Taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.

“My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes a lunch for me to take to school and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monster. And she gives the best hugs, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom.”

Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry. “Mom will love having a shopping spree, ” he thought.

Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize. Days passed by, and then weeks.

Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Jim still had not heard anything about the contest. With time going by, the mixed feeling of disappointment and anxiety was growing in his heart.
