Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.28. The text makes us know that not getting enough sleep might make you _.A. suffer form poor health B. enjoy more C. dream more often D. breathe quickly29. During REM, _.A. you move restlessly B. you start dreamingC. your mind stops working D. your eyeballs move quickly30. The underlined word “drowsy” in the last paragraph probably means_. A. lazy B. sleepy C. relaxed D. pleased31 A good title for this text might be_. A. Dreams B. Sleep C. Good Health D. Work and Rest32. One of the ways to fall asleep easily is to _. A. breathe slowly and deeply B. drink cold drinks C. get up and run D. look for some sheepDMy dearest son and daughter, The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing (起诉) her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter. Let me just put this out there: the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a judge. There are two things about this case that seem to be disaster. First, its natural for parents and children to argue. I can guarantee that we will disagree. One or both of you will, at some point, scream at the top of your lungs the various ways you hate me. And I wont always like you, either. But I will always love you and do everything I can to keep your best interests as my focus, even when Im so angry. We are family. That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh, blood and bones in our body. And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond(纽带).Second, Ill be honest, no matter how far apart we are on your life choices, your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education. But that doesnt mean you deserve it. To be clear, that is a privilege we happily extend (给予) to younot a right you are born with. And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege. Growing up is hard work. If I do my job properly as your motherand you do yours as my childrenyou would sooner get a job or two, and find a way to make your dreams come true than go to trial over what you think you have the right to. Love always, Mom33. The mother writes this letter because she wants her children to _.A. be prepared for educationB. learn a lesson from the caseC. take up the legal professionD. remember Rachel Canning34. When in disagreement, the mother expects her children not to _.A. guarantee anythingB. scream out their angerC. break the family bondD. forget their best interests35. The mother thinks of parents paying for their childrens higher education as _. A. a way in which children realize their dreams B. a test of whether parents love their childrenC. a privilege that children should earnD. a right that parents are born with第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Public Speaking TrainingGet a coach 36 ，so get help.
