VI、阅读理解（每小题2分，共30分）
A
根据短文内容，判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。

It seems unbelievable: Early­morning sunlight helps you sleep well at night. But it's true, because it is part of the sleep­wake cycle.
Light tells the brain it is time to wake up. That's why you will have trouble getting back to sleep if you turn on a light in the middle of the night.
But why does morning sunlight help you sleep well at night? Researchers say it helps set your “body clock”. When there is less and less sunlight at the end of the day, your body starts
to make melatonin (褪黑素). It makes you feel sleepy. Your body makes the most melatonin at night. During the day, sunlight tells your body to make less melatonin, which keeps you awake.
A team of researchers from New York, US ever did a study on 109 office workers across the US. They found that some of the workers saw lots of light during the morning hours, between 8 a. m. and lunchtime. They found that they had a better sleep than others. They also fell asleep more quickly at night.
So researchers suggest we see 15 minutes of sunlight in the morning. It can help balance (平衡) the melatonin in our body.
51. Sunlight in the morning makes us sleep well during the night.
52. We have trouble getting back to sleep because of less light.
53. Our brain sets our “body clock” to wake us up.
54. Sunlight helps your body make less melatonin.
55. It's good for our sleep if we see 15 minutes of sunlight in the morning.
B
What do we do when we go camping? First, we make a plan. We take food, clothing, a knife, and things for cooking and eating. We take things to keep us away from insects and the sun.
Then we put everything into the car and we go to the woods by car. We look for a place for campers(露营者) and we look for a good place for our tent(帐篷). The place should have a lot of moving air. This will keep some insects away. High land with water on both sides of it is good. Then we put up our tent. We put everything into the tent, and we are ready for fun. We can swim in the lake, walk in the woods, climb a mountain, row a boat, or go fishing.
In the evening we come back to the tent, and we build a big fire because it can keep the
insects away. We sit around the fire and talk. We may tell interesting stories or we may sing songs.
At night we lie down on the grass. We can look up at the stars. It is a busy day, so we try to go to sleep early.
Everything is dark. Everything is quiet. We hope we won’t hear music from the radio in the next tent. We hope it won’t rain.

Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard­working people live longer than
those who have no jobs. Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job­holders. Career(职业) women are healthier than housewives.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness (孤独). Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between dreams and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss(丧失) of work means the loss of everything. It affects man's spirit and it will cause more illnesses.
Besides, work gives one a sense of hope and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status(形象)in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are very happy.
From the above, we can come to a conclusion: the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be.
61. How will people feel when they have nothing to do from the passage?
A. Relaxed and excited.
B. Happy but bored.
C. Worried and unhappy.
D. Relaxed but unhappy.
62. Who are the happiest people?
A. Those who are rich.
B. Those who are friendly.
C. Those who are famous.
D. Those who are busy.

A. the loss of happiness
B. the loss of work
C. the loss of energy
D. the loss of health
64. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. If you are happy, you will have more work to do.
B. If you are healthy, you will have more work to do.
C. The more you work, the happier you will be.
D. The more work you do, the more money you will have.
