My wife and I recently completed a day-long tour of the Great Wall with Jessie. In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history of theareas that we toured, she spoke excellent English and was able to answer all of our questions. Her driver was very experienced and polite, and we really enjoyed being able to have a customized tour that avoided the tourist traps and forced shopping that seem to be a part of the larger group tours.
The attractions themselves were fantastic. I was a little worried that the snowy weather might impact our trip to the Great Wall, but everything went fine, and there weren’t many people out at all that day. I suggest wearing strong shoes—the Great Wall is really a hike. And in snowy or rainy days, the surfaces are pretty slippery (滑的)! Seeing this area in winter was really unique, and the snow made for great pictures. Jessie kept us entertained with stories and facts about the construction of the Wall, and always pointed out great spots for taking pictures. Even though she’s in fantastic shape, she cared about our level of fitness and often stopped to let us catch our breath.
When we got back to our hotel, Jessie gave us a great recommendation for dinner and some tips for our planned stops the next day. If I find myself in Beijing in the future, I will certainly be contacting Jessie for more tour opportunities, and I’ve already recommended her to some friends who are visiting the area later in the year. I can’t say enough about how kind and knowledgeable she was, and she really gave us a great tour experience.
4. What can we infer about Jessie?
A. She is a tour advisor.
B. She is a tour guide.
C. She is a foreign traveler.
D. She is a skilled driver.
5. When did the writer visit the Great Wall?
A. In spring.
B. In summer.
C. In autumn.
D. In winter.
6. What did the writer think of his tour?
A. Adventurous.
B. Disappointing.
C. Satisfactory.
D. Improvable.
7. What is the probable title for the text?
A. A Wonderful Tour Day with Jessie
B. An Extraordinary Tour Company
C. The Great Wall, an Excellent Attraction
D. Jessie, a Kind and Knowledgeable Guide

Hundreds of children are being treated for sleep problems in Wales every year. In some cases，babies，infants (婴儿)and teenagers have been admitted to hospital in north Wales alone.
The Children’s Sleep Charity said many children were suffering from lack of sleep mainly because of technology use. Public Health Wales said sleep was as important to a child’s health as healthy eating and exercise，and children with poor sleep patterns were more likely to be fat.
Statistics obtained (获得) under the Freedom of Information Act by BBC Wales found at least 408 children have been admitted to hospitals across Wales suffering from sleep disorders since March 2013.
Children aged between 0 and 4 made up the highest number of inpatients (住院病人)，with some newborns being treated for sleep-related problems from the day of birth.
Vicki Dawson，who set up the Children’s Sleep Charity (CSC)，said sleepless nights were putting both children and parents in anxiety. “Their weight and growth may also be affected as well as their mental health，”she said.
Teachers said children showing signs of sleep shortage and tiredness in class were a concern as they couldn’t concentrate for long periods.
Psychologist Amy McClelland，of Sleep Wales，saida common problem was that children were “over excited”before bed and that families should get back to basics. “Think 1950s family home. Dinner as a family，read，chat，a film maybe，lights off and then bed. ”She added.
8. What’s the mainreason why children are short of sleep？
A. Less exercise.
B. Eating habits.

D. Sleep patterns.
9. Who are the majority of the inpatients with sleep-related disorders？

C. Teachers.
D. Parents.
10. What can we infer from what Amy McClelland said？

B. It is difficult for children to read before bed.
C. Being too excitedis good for sleep habits.
D. Relaxation has a bad effect on children.

Jules Verne was born on 8 February1828 inthe French city of Nantes. From an early age, he had a fascination with exploration and discovery. When he was six, his teacher, Madame Sambin, told him stories about her husband, who disappeared while traveling the world on a ship 30 years before. She told her class that he was like Robinson Crusoe, a fictional castaway who lived on a desert island. Verne would later write stories about similar characters.
In 1847, Verne was sent by his family to study law at a university in Paris, but he preferred to write novels, poems and plays. After graduating, he realized he wanted to write adventure stories based on science and technology.Thishad never been done before, but Verne was sure that it would be a success. His first story, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in September 1862. His career lasted for more than 40 years, during which time he wrote more than 60 gripping stories.
To begin with, Verne wrote positive and optimistic books. Many of these were to be his most popular creations. Although some included fantastical elements, they were usually based in scientific fact, making them
believable. These happy stories weren’t to last. As he got older, Verne became less confident in the idea that science and technology were always good for the planet. His books started to include more scientists who used technology for their own-sometimes evil - purposes. Verne died on 24 March 1905, but new books continued to be published until 1919. These stories were based on ideas Verne had written about while he was still alive, but featured new characters and plots created by his son, Michel.
In the 20th century, his books were translated into more than 140 languages and several successful film versions were released. His creations have been recognized as an inspiration for many scientists and inventors. Many of the futuristic ideas from his most popular books have since come true.
12. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A To show Verne’s discovery.
B. To offer the background information of Verne.
C. To tell of the adventure of Sambin’s husband.
D. To explain how Verne began his writing career.
13. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in Paragraph 2:
A. Writing novels, poems and plays.
B. Studying law.
C. Graduating from university.
D. Wring adventure stories.
14. What can be learned about Verne’s late works?
A. They covered happy elements.
B. They were unbelievable stories.
C. They revealed Verne’s doubt on science.
D. They were partly written by Berne’s son.
15. Which of the following best describes Verne?
A. Talented and productive.
B. Popular and caring.
C. Optimistic and generous.
D. Friendly and honest.

Mr. Smith had a 8-year-old son named Tony, who enjoyed listen to music very much. So he bought a piano to Tony, hoping that he can become a famous pianist one day. The little boy put her heart into practising the piano day after day and seemed to enjoy every minute of it. Therefore, half a year later, he told his father that he was tiring of practising the piano. Hearing this, Mr. Smith said, “Tony, it is one thing to be fond listening to music, but it is another thing to perform good by yourself. You can never play the piano well even if you don’t practise more.”
