Magazine.BI was never very neat，while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled everything. I always looked for everything. Over time，Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!" Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers，sobbing. Obviously，that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, "Thanks."Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.

Learning to Be RoommatesCOne in every five young people has a sleep problem, so you're not alone. Getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It's very important for your body.Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine hours. And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping on weekends doesn't really work. In fact, sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm than good, if you have sleep problems.What happens if you don't get enough sleep? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights, you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse，if your sleep difficulties last a long time，that could lead to anxiety. Therefore，you've got to have some healthy sleep habits. Below are some suggestions:* Go to bed at the same time—including weekends, if possible.* Wake up around the same time every morning. When you sleep late just one morning during the week, it may3disturb your body clock. This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.* Do something relaxing before going to bed.* Exercise during the day. Don't exercise right before going to bed.* Avoid drinking. Alcohol makes you excited. This prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night.* Don't smoke. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps you awake.If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, consult your doctor. Do not take any medicine without first asking your doctor. Many of them have strong side effects.8. The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should .A. eat vegetables and exercise regularlyB. make up for lost sleep on weekendsC. follow a fixed timetable for sleepD. sleep seven hours every day9. According to the suggestions, which of the following makes it easier for you to fall asleep?A. Getting up earlier than usual in the morning.B. Listening to soft music before going to bed.C. Drinking alcohol before going to bed.D. Doing exercise in the evening.10. What should you do if these tips don't work on you over a period of time?A. Just keep trying.B. Turn to a doctor for help.4C. Try some medicines.D. Wait for your sleeping problems to get better.11. Where is the text most likely from?A. A diary.B.A novel.C. A travel guide.D. A magazine.DI love snakes. My mom definitely does not. When she was a kid, snakes used to hide in warm spots under the furniture. So she grew up afraid she'd step on a snake. I grew up hoping I'd see one outside! Lots of people who are afraid of snakes have never even seen one. So where does our fear come from?Scientists wonder about this too. Their experiments with adults, kids, and even babies show that it's complicated. In tests with pictures, people picked out snakes faster than they could find flowers, frogs, and caterpillars. It wasn't just snakes, though. People also found spiders and angry faces faster than "safe" things like flowers. It seems like we find things that might be dangerous to us faster than things that aren'tPeople also learn to fear snakes faster than we learn to fear many other things. We take our hints from other people's scared voices and faces. Some scientists think we've evolved this way faster to see snakes and faster to learn to fear them. After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that it's dangerous, we might learn our lesson too late.So why does it matter if we're afraid of snakes? It may not matter much to us, but it matters to snakes. People protect animals they like, not animals they fear. Snakes may not be as cute as dolphins, but they're just as important to the environment. Snakes eat insects that are pests to humans. Snakes are also food for other animals, so when we kill snakes, we're hurting other creatures too.How do we get past our fears to give snakes a chance? Scientists did a study recently where students of your age went on a field trip, Guides helped them find and capture snakes in the forest. Everyone could safely touch and hold a snake. It turns out that snakes aren't so bad when you get to know them. Most people who were afraid of snakes before the field trip weren't afraid afterward. In fact, snakes even became some students' favorite animal. Hmm, maybe I should take my mom on the next field trip.Remember: Always respect snakes, whether you're afraid of them or not.12. According to Paragraph 3, people's fear comes from ____________.A. school educationB. scientific researchesC. self-experienceD. others' influence13. Which paragraph shows people the way to overcome their fear of snakes?5A. Paragraph 2.B. Paragraph 3.C. Paragraph 4.D. Paragraph 5.14. Which of the following is Wrong?A. In tests with pictures, people may pick out tigers faster than rabbits.B. Snakes play an important role in the ecosystem.C. Snakes are not so bad; therefore, everyone can safely catch snakes in the forest.D. After the field trip, few people may still be afraid of snakes.15. Which of the following will the author agree with?A. Snakes are not dangerous at all.B. People should make peace with snakes.C. People's fear matters little to snakes.D. Snakes are well protected by humans.EI really love this saying, “ Love is endless and unlimited.” For me, there’s a story behind it. When I used to hand out chocolates with beautiful paper bags, my friends always told me , “You are wasting time and money.

They were becoming thinner and thinner and they would did of hunger sooner or later.But my habit of loving dogs has changed all these things. I began to walk close to them and give them food regularly. When I touched their heads and gave love to them, I could see tears in their eyes. My friends noticed , and now even kids and elders in the community provide them with food and also love them. I am really glad to see that I saved their lives.What I started will lead to beautiful memories with them. They enjoy playing with me and they even have a particular pose when they see me.
