Sometimes students have to stay at school foran extra hour. If a student behaves(表现) very badly, the headteacher can suspend(使暂停上课)the student. The student can't come to school for one, two, or three days. Mr Lazares didn't like to suspend students. When he suspended students，they were happy. "A three-day holiday!" they thought. One day，a boy named Robert was in Mr Lazares' office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr Lazares phoned the boy's parents.“If you come to school with your son，I won't suspend him，" he said. The boy's father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students all looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed(尴尬的).After that he behaved better. He didn't want his father to come to school again. Other students behaved better，too. They thought，"I don't want my parents to come to school!"That year about 60 parents came to school with childrenrwho didn't behave well. The next year only a few parents had to come to school. The students were behaving better. ( )1.

Robert's mother( )4 .The students behaved after their parents did what Mr Lazares told them to do.A. badB. goodC. worseD. betterBMarch 21 is International Sleep Day. And we should all celebrate the act of sleeping. Researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning. But what about getting rest during the middle of the day?A recent study on napping(⼩睡)says short periods of sleep may help our brains work better. Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better. And napping can help brain performance in older adults. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off memory loss because of the increase in their age.Many Americans do nap. But one-third of all adults in the United States are also chronically(长期的)tired, says the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC). It found that 50 million to 70 million Americans have chronic sleep disorders. However, they seem to be unwilling to tell people that they take a nap. They may think that napping shows they are weak or they don't have enough energy. It is not an uncommon opinion that only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap. In fact, Americans sometimes do a very strange thing. Some people brag about how few hours of sleep they need each night to show that they are somehow stronger than the average human. However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms and napping cafes(咖啡馆)are appearing in many U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C. Remember that a one-hour-long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. It is recommended that 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure(压⼒)and will help people feel more awake. If people nap longer, they will get trapped into deep sleep. which can be hard to get out of. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, limit your daytime nap to under 45 minutes. Also nap before 3 p.m.( )5.Who are "this group of people" in Paragraph 2?A. The babies.B. The children.C. The older adults.D. The young people.( )6 .The underlined word brag in Paragraph 3 means .A. chat sadlyB. talk proudlyC. whisper secretlyD. speak politely( )7.What may Americans think of napping in the future?A. Healthy adults needn't take a nap.B. They won't tell others about their naps.C. It may be common for Americans to take a nap.D. Only the old, the sick and children need a nap.( )8 .For a young man with sleep problems, it is good to .A. take a 40-minute-long noon napB. take a nap whenever he feels sleepyC. take a one-hour-long nap after dinnerD. take a 30-minute-long nap in the evening三、阅读表达Susan was a shy but clever girl. She couldn't see too well and had worn glasses for as long as she could remember. And again, for as long as she could remember, some of her classmates always made fun of her big glasses, laugh at her and call her names (起外号).The worst thing was that Lewis started to call her “Four Eyes”.

You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school.A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sportsplayers. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited( 限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks.

Why Can't We Buy Energy Drinks?DAs a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passingcar lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象)would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敌人) " would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life. ( )11.
