in my case it was definitely made. in my early 20s, i hardly went to bed before midnight, and i would always get up late the next morning. but after a while i couldnt ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. on those rare occasions where i did get up early, i noticed that my productivity (效率) was always higher. so i set out to become a habitual early riser. but whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. eventually some sleep research showed that my strategy was wrong. the most common wrong strategy is this: supposing youre going to get up earlier, youd better go to bed earlier. it sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.there are two main schools (流派) of thought on sleep patterns. one is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. the second school says you should go to bed when youre tired and get up when you naturally wake up. however, i have found both are wrong if you care about productivity. if you sleep at fixed hours, youll sometimes go to bed when you arent sleepy enough. youre wasting time lying in bed awake.my solution is to combine both methods. i go to bed when im sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. so i always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but i go to bed at different times every night.however, going to bed only when im sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning are my ways. if you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.56. according to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to _.a. people who stay up until the next morning b. people who feel sleepy in the morning c. people who get up early in the morningd. people whose productivity is the lowest in the morning57. why did the author want to become a habitual early riser?a. because he / she wanted to have more sleep time.b. because he / she wanted to do morning exercise.c. because he / she wanted to test which school is better.d. because he / she found that the productivity was higher. 58. the author experienced all the following except _.a. going to bed after midnight b. asking scholars for advice on sleeping habitsc. getting up early occasionallyd. pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping59. whats the authors sleep pattern?a. going to bed early and getting up early.b. going to bed late and getting up late.c. going to bed when sleepy and getting up at a fixed early time.d. going to bed early and getting up late. 60.the passage is mainly about _.a. how to become an early riserb. main schools of thought on sleep patterns c. how to have a good sleep d. wrong strategies for getting up early bstill seeking a destination for your weekend break? there are some places which are probably a mere wall away from your college. kings art centrea day at the centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. this weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists. you could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters or get more creative with paint free of charge. the centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee. the botanic gardenthe garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for cambridge university. the multi-branched torch aloe here is impressive. the african plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss. get to the display house to see dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the venus flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals. the garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. look for grass snakes in the lake. a snake called hissing sid is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun. byrons pool many stories surround lord byrons time as a student of cambridge university. arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. however, it seems as though byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. he spent a great deal of time walking in the village. it is also said that on occasion byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as byrons pool. a couple of miles past grantchester in the south cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by the fields. the cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. if you dont trust me, then perhaps youll take it from virginia woolf over a century after byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool. 61. as mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for _. a. attending the masters class b. working with local artists c. learning life drawing d. seeing an exhibition62. “torch aloe” and “venus flytrap” are _. a. common insects b. impressive plantsc. rarely-seen snakes d. wildlife-enthusiasts63. we can infer from the passage that byron seemed _. a. to fear pet bears b. to be a heavy drinker c. to finish university in 1805 d. to like walking 64. in the passage byrons pool is described as a lake _. a. surrounded by fields b. owned by lord byron c. located in grantchester d. discovered by virginia woolf65. what is the passage mainly about? a. the colorful life in the countryside. b. a way to become creative in art. c. unknown stories of cambridge university. d. some places for weekend break.cit may be one of britains most successful exports miss world. this 53-year-old event took place in china last week and attracted over 120 women worldwide with knockout looks in a mad struggle for the crown.traditional values have long kept the chinese, especially women, from displaying beauty. but chinese people have now changed their attitude toward beauty contest, although some men will still be shouting that the winner is no more beautiful than his wife or his former girl friend or even his mother in a sour tone. but such men are not shouting for the right reason. the question to be asked is : why isnt there a mr. world beauty contest?and a further question to be asked is: does taking part in a beauty contest show a womans courage, wisdom and liberation or rather the opposite a forced choice and a revolting act made under conditions of long-term discrimination?organizers of such beauty contests claim that the contestants are judged on qualities other than just their physical appearance. but still no answer is given to why there isnt a mr. beauty or a mr. world contest? or at least, why isnt that kind of contest popular? why is it that only womens “qualities” need to be recognized but not mens?think about who is always standing beside a fancy car on show? is it a boy or a girl? and this is how “qualities” are judged: if the girl looks good, there is little reason why the car beside her is not of high quality.the beauty contests go on year after year, with winners enjoying fame which quickly disappears. while such events go on and on, what never changes is the routine practice that in every fancy car show, a girl stands beside a fancy car. what never changes is the need to hold a womens conference every year to appeal for the promotion of respect for and improvement of women. what never changes is the fate of women as a class. so lets put more time and resources into trying to change all this rather than holding beauty contests.66. miss world beauty contest in britain has a history of _.a. 120 years b. about half a century c. 100 years d. about half a year67. which of the following is true to the passage?a. miss world beauty contest first began in china.b. 120 women took part in beauty contest last week.c. women were not allowed to show their beauty in china.d. winners enjoy fame which lasts forever.68. according to the writer, .a. people can accept a beauty contest in china nowb. chinese women are not allowed to display beautyc. the winner of miss world is not as beautiful as his wifed. some men are not shouting for the right person69. from the passage we can know the writer thinks that _.a. contestants qualities are more important than their physical appearanceb. a mr. world contest should be held instead of a miss world contestc. a boy should stand by a fancy card. womens social status is still low70. the best title for this passage is _.a. what about a mr. world contest?b. history of miss world contest.c. quality or appearance?d. miss world contest is the most important in our life.dlondon (reuters) children are dying for lack of drugs tailored to their needs, according to the world health organization (who), which launched a global campaign on thursday to promote more research into child medicine.more than half of the drugs currently used to treat children in the industrialized world have not been specifically tested on youngsters. the problem is even worse in developing countries where price remains a major barrier and 6 million children die each year from treatable conditions.in the case of hiv/aids, the few existing pediatric therapies（儿科的疗法）developed for children generally cost three times more than adult ones. as a result, clinicians lack clear guidelines on the best drug to use and often have to guess at the correct dose. fortunately, the who has drawn up the first international list of essential medicines for children, containing 206 products considered safe for children.“but a lot remains to be done. there are priority medicines that have not been adapted for childrens use or are not available when needed,” said dr hans, the u.n. agencys dir
