We've all heard it before：to be successful, get out of bed early. After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook gets up at 3：45 am, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3：30 am and Richard Branson at 5：45 am﹣and, as we all know, "the early bird's catches the worm. "
But just because some successful people wake up early, does that mean it's a trait most of them share？And if the idea of having exercised, planned your day, eaten breakfast, visualized and done one task before 8 am makes you want to roll over and hit snooze till next Saturday, are you really doomed to a less successful life？
For about half of us, this isn't really an issue. It's estimated that some 50% of the population isn't really morning or evening﹣oriented, but somewhere in the middle. Roughly one in four of us, though, tend more toward bright﹣eyed early risers, and another one in four are night owls. For them, the effects can go beyond falling asleep in front of the TV at 10 pm or being regularly late for work.
Numerous studies have found that morning people are more self﹣directed and agreeable. And compared to night owls, they plan for the future more and have a better sense of well﹣being.
Although morning types may achieve more academically, night owls tend to perform better on measures of memory, processing speed and cognitive（认知）ability, even when they have to perform those tasks in the morning. Night﹣time people are also more open and more creative. And one study shows that night owls areas healthy and wise as morning types﹣and a little bit wealthier.
Still think the morning people sound more like CEO material？Don't set your alarm for 5 am Just yet. As it turns out, overhauling（全面改革）your sleep time may not have much effect
"If people are left to their naturally preferred time, they feel much better. They say that they are much more productive. The mental capacity they have is much broader, " says Oxford University biologist Katharina Wulff. On the other hand, she says, pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful. When they wake early, for example, night owls are still producing melatonin（褪黑素）. "Then you disrupt it and push the body to be in the daytime mode. That can have lots of negative physiological consequence. " Wulff says, like a different sensitivity to insulin and glucose（葡萄糖）which can cause weight gain.
4. What does the authordo in the first three paragraph？
A. raising the problem→analyzing the problem → solving the problem
B. leading in the topic→challenging a viewpoint → discussing about the topic
C. presenting a viewpoint → providing supporting proofs→making a conclusion
D. introducing a viewpoint →raising the question→presenting author's viewpoint
5. What can we know from the 4th and 5th paragraph？
A. Morning types tend to have clear goals and better mood.
B. To beat night﹣time people ask them to do math calculation in themorning.
C. Night owls tend to sacrifice their health for their wealth.
D. Neither night owls nor morning persons perform better than the middle ones.
6. Which of the following does Katharina Wulff support？
A. Don't fall sleep in front of the TV.
B. Avoid being regularly late for work.
C. Stop setting your alarm for 5 am.
D. Better not overhaul your sleep time.
7. Why does the author write this article？
A. To explain why some people are more successful.
B.To compare the differences between early risersand night owls.
C. To advise people to get up neither too early nor too late.
D. To argue against this view that the Carly bird catches the worm.
C
Newspapers in Great Britainvarygreatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.
The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.
Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of
thirty years ago.
8. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself _________.
A. a serious newspaper
B. foreign newspaper
C. any independent paper
D. a popular newspaper
9. The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for ________ years.
A. 19
B. 85
C. 236
D. 229
10. The Times is an independent paper because ________.
A. it supports no political parties
B. it is not controlled by the British Government
C. it gives special support to all the political parties.
D. the editor’s opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper
11. The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “_________”.
A. improve
B. compete with each other
C. are different
D. keep in touch with each other
D
Why do you check social media? Is it to keep up with everything that your friends and family are doing? Is it to find new trendy spots to eat?Regardless of the reason, you may find yourself with different degrees of envy or discomfort after a quick look at your phone. Then you might be suffering from a phenomenon known as “Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). ”
While the phenomenon of FOMO can be traced back for centuries, it had never been the issue as it is today, causing widespread discussion and research. This rise in checking social media is naturally connected to the increasing leading position that social media holds over our lives. Every time someone opens their WeChat Moments, Facebook, Twitter... etc. , they are bombarded with the highlight reels of other peoples' lives. A sunny beach, delicious-looking food, a super cute kitten-they are all uplifting photos, yet they're very likely to bring about more unhappiness than joy. You see, the first thought to come out of your mind may be “Wow, that's so cool/delicious/cute”, but then it takes a hard U-turn. You're thinking: “I wish I were there” or “my life is so boring compared to his/hers.” The more you see, the more likely you are to have these negative feelings.
What's worse is the habit many people have of turning to social media in search of happiness when they are feeling down, not realizing that they are just going to end up in a negative cycle of endless disappointment. Montesquieu once said: “If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be
happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.”
FOMO will go hand in hand with dissatisfaction and envy. Appreciate what you already have, because someone else out there in the world would gladly give everything to be you.
12. What is the purpose of the questions in paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic of the passage.
B. To explain the function of FOMO.
C. To describe the features of FOMO.
D. To give the reasons for checking social media.
13. How might people feel seeing other's perfect life through social media?
A. Joyful.
B. Admiring.
C. Comfortable.
D. Envious.
14. What can we conclude from Montesquieu's words in paragraph 3?
A. We could turn to social media for happiness.
B. We couldn't realise our dream without hard work.
C. We couldn't harvest happiness through comparison.
D. We could live better than others by showing ourselves online.
15. What is the author's attitude towards FOMO?
A. Indifferent.
B. Objective.
C. Doubtful.
D. Hopeful.

51.短文改错
My classmates and I were to graduate next month. We were determined to do anything. After a heating discussion, we decided on making a video to record our experience at school.
It took us a whole week to collect materials, during that we interviewed our teachers or took photos of every aspect of school life. The editing part before that was tough. We discussed what to put into the video. Some compromises are unavoidable, but the video proved perfectly. Several days later, when the video was playing on the graduation ceremony, it was well received. The teachers and students shared a great time. That surely gave to us a great sense of achievement.
