As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes. They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his days work. The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his confusion when he cannot find them”. “My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by tricking on the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him.” The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. After he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something hard. He bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen on his face. He fixed his eyes on the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and cried a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread, whom the timely help, from some unknown hand, would save from dying. The student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the professor, “are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?” The youth replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. 24.

Actions speak louder than words. CNo one on earth would love to visit a doctor. But no matter how much we hate to knock at the doctors door, something or other takes us right there. And the visits increase with age, as does the number of health problems. Now while it is true that doctors cannot be totally done away with, you can keep well just by a smile every now and then. The reasons are not hard to guess. Everyone likes to share humor. But what you might not know just is that fun, joy and humor are instrumental in improving the mental and physical health of a human being. Research says that the chances of a heart attack are reduced for those who laugh more than their fellows. In the rapid pace of life, every little thing may lead to stress, anxiety or depression. The monantidoteto all these is nothing but a hearty laugh.One good thing about laughter is that you can never possibly have enough of fun. If you love to laugh, you are all set to live a healthy stress-free life. And this may hold fine testimony(证明) to all stories of humor or humorous pieces of work, in books or on the Internet. Take for instance the funny stuff you get online to tickle your funny bone. Didnt you get hooked on it for hours grinning from ear to ear?Nowadays, the Internet is a place of generating humor where people spend hours to do away with their boredom, or even when they are not bored. In order to see the doctor less people eagerly read jokes, watch funny videos or play fun games.28.

Im not one of them. After a night without enough sleep, I feel bad-tempered. I have trouble remembering things. And all I want to do is crawl back into bed and sleep. How do you feel after youve stayed up late to finish schoolwork? Or the day after an overnight party? Scientists now say that your answers to these questions may depend on your genes. New research suggests that a gene called period 3 affects how well you function without sleep. The period 3 gene es in two forms: short and long. Everyone has two copies of the gene. So, you may have two longs, two shorts, or one of each. Your particular bination depends on what your parents passed on to you. Scientists from the University of Surrey in England studied 24 people who had either two short or two long copies of period 3. Study participants had to stay awake for 40 hours straight. Then, they took tests that measured how quickly they pushed a button when number flashed on a screen and how well they could remember lists of numbers. Results showed that the people with the short form of period 3 performed much better on these tests than the people with the long form did. In both groups, people performed worst in the early morning. Thats the time when truck drivers and other night-shift workers say they have the most trouble concentrating. After the first round of experiments, participants were finally allowed to sleep. People in the group that performed well on the tests took about 18 minutes to nod off. People with the long period 3 genes, by contrast, fell asleep in just 8 minutes. They also spent more time in deep sleep. That suggests that people with the long form of the gene need more and deeper sleep to keep their brains working at top form. I think I must have the long form of period 3. What about you? 32. The purpose of this passage might be_ A. to tell us the importance of plenty of sleepB. to tell the result of a research on sleepy gene C. to find out the authors forms of genesD. to announce the sleeping rules of humans33. What kind of people need less sleep according to the research? A. Those with two short copies of the gene.B. Those with two long copies of the gene.C. Those with one short and one long copies of the gene. D. Those with four short copies of the gene. 34. If one lacks enough sleep, one should avoid doing important or dangerous things_ A. at night B. at dusk C. at noon D. at dawn 35. Why did the author suppose he or she had a long form of period 3?A. Because the author spent less time in deep sleep. B. Because the author could concentrate in the early morning. C. Because the author needed more sleep to keep energetic. D. Because the author could remain energetic without enough sleep.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。How to Have a Successful Teenage Life Everyone wants to succeed in their life, dont they?
