It′s still there, the Vietnamese school where my brother and I used to go. Even with a new coat of paint and the high wire fence, the school I knew ten years ago remains the same.
Every day at 5 p.m., instead of flying kites with our friends, my brother and I had to go to Vietnamese school. Nothing could stop my determined mother to have us learn the language of our culture. She held us by the collar and walked with us from our home to school, leaving our tearful faces before the front of the school.
Although the school mainly taught language, the lessons always began with an exercise in politeness. With the entrance of the teacher, the best student would tap a bell and everyone would get up, and say in Vietnamese, "How are you, teacher？"
The language always made me embarrassed. More often than not, I hail tried to separate myself from the loud voice that followed me whenever I went to the American supermarket outside our area. The voice belonged to my grandmother, a small old woman whose Vietnamese was quick, loud, but not beautiful. I did not want to be seen speaking Vietnamese with her and thought of as talking
stupid.
When I spoke English, people nodded at me, smiled and encouraged me. My brother was even stricter than I about speaking English. He was especially cruel towards my mother, scolding her for her poor English. Bits of Vietnamese were often mixed in her conversation.
After two years of struggle, I finally divorced my culture. I was permitted to stop Vietnamese school. I thought of myself as American. At last, I thought I was one of you；I wasn′t one of them.
Sadly, I am only an American.

Nowadays the U.S. students are sleepy in school because they spend too much time texting, playing video games, watching TV, and using the media in other ways.
"Heavy media use interferes with sleep by reducing sleep duration, making it harder to fall asleep, and lowering sleep quality," Meilan Zhang, an assistant professor at the University of Texas at E1Paso, wrote in her research review in the journal, Sleep Medicine.
But the relationship between youth′s media use and sleep is not so simple, said Michael Gradisar, who authored both that review and the Sleep Medicine meta﹣analysis. "Technology use is the new evidence when we are trying to answer ′Why are school﹣age children sleeping less？" said Mr. Gradisar, an associate professor of psychology at Flinders University in Adelaide,
Australia.
There may be safe limits to technology use, Mr. Gradisar stated. For instance, recent research results indicate that using a bright screen for an hour before bed or even playing violent video games for less than that will not necessarily interfere with teenagers′ sleep, he wrote.
But longer periods of usage can be harmful to sleep, Mr. Gradisar added. Rather than delaying school start times, he said, the first step should be educating parents about limiting the hours that their children are using technology before bed, and enforcing a consistent bedtime.
Early school start times are also commonly blamed for students′ sleepiness, especially for adolescents. Secondary schools around the nation and the world have been delaying start times, often with positive results.
Mr. Minnich of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center hesitated to put blame to any particular factor. But he did think that cost﹣saving measures to consolidate （合并） bus routes might help explain U.S. students′ sleepiness.
"For those children who board the bus first, they must get up earlier, may end up sleeping on the way to school, and may end up arriving at school sleepy." he said.
28.Which of the following may be the best title for the text？______ （2分）
A.Kids benefit a lot from technology
B.Some tips can help kids sleep well
C.Several factors affect kids′ sleep
D.Several sleep troubles appear at school
29.According to Meilan Zhang,_______. （2分）
A.students are good at using the media
B.students′ sleep is affected by the media
C.students use the media during sleeping
D.students suffer from technology badly
30.Which of the following may be the good way to help kids sleep better？_______ （2分）
A.Their playing time must be limited.
B.Technology is forbidden at home.
C.They are allowed to go to school early.
D.Parents should be well educated.
31.Who are most likely to be interested in the text？______ （2分）
A.The officials
B.The teachers
C.The parents
D.The researchers

Does happiness have a scent？
When someone is happy, can you smell it？
You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile,
heating them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also
smell their happiness？ Surprising new research suggests that happiness
does indeed have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell, reports .
For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.
Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling﹣though it′s uncle ar why only men were chosen to produce the scents.
Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents﹣﹣particularly their facial expressions﹣﹣indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them.
"Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell," said study co﹣author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.
This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.
Researchers have yet to isolate（分离） exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies （香味疗法） could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.
Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.
32.What is the main finding of the new research？_______ （2分）
A.Men produce more sweats.
B.Negative emotions have a smell.
C.Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.
D.Women have a better sense of smell.
33.The underlined part "abstain from" in Paragraph 3 probably means_____. （2分）
A.avoid
B.practice
C.continue
D.try
34.What is the application value of the new research？________ （2分）
A.Perfumes could help people understand each other.
B.Some smells could be developed to better our mood.
C.Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases.
D.Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.
35.We can learn from the last paragraph that_______.（2分）
A.happiness comes from a scent of sweat
B.positive energy can deepen understanding
C.people need more emotional communication
D.social surroundings can influence our emotions
