conditions in which sleep takes place. the young may need more sleep than the old, but usually eight hours are enough for the health of grown-ups. some can do with less than this amount, but others may need more. every person knows his own need. it is then a matter of good judgement to satisfy his need. sleep should always be enough to make one bring back his strength and get ready for a days work. fresh air is necessary to sound sleep. it is not without reason for some people to think that it is practicable to sleep in the open air. when one can keep himself warm, out-of-door sleeping probably gives the body its most complete relaxation(松弛). ability to sleep is largely a habit. the conditions referred to only lead to sleep. out-of-door exercises, a good habit of regular hours and the avoidance(避免) of late eating and worry, which are largely within the control of any person, are all helpful to sound sleep. a bath at bedtime, neither hot nor cool but of body temperature, may be helpful to sleep. sleep-producing drug(药）should never be taken except when suggested by a doctor. 21.which of the following is helpful to good sleep?a. keeping good habits. b. staying up late at night. c. eating something at bedtime. d. forming the habit of taking sleep-producing drug. 22. the amount of sleep a person needs has something to do with_. a. his ageb. his heightc. his weight d.

am so sorry”“its okay, sweetheart. ill be okay. ”“no,” i said, “i mean about what i said to you that day. you know, that morning?”my father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. he looked at me and said. “sweetheart, i dont remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. i remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though. ”he managed a weak smile. my

october as a day to make someone happy. it is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed. over 60 years ago, when a cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. he did this by giving them small gifts. with the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a saturday in october. during the years that followed, other clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “sweetest day”. over time, the sweetest day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. soon the idea spread to other cities all over the usa. sweetest day is not based on any single groups religious beliefs or on a family relationship. it is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving, sweetest day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.28. what can we learn from the first paragraph?a. sweetest day is a day to make others happy.b. sweetest day is just an occasion to care about disabled people.c. sweetest day is an occasion for lovers to express love.d. sweetest day is celebrated on the third sunday in october.29. what is cleveland?a. an island. b. a country. c. a village in england. d. a city in america.30. what do most people usually do to show their care to others according to the passage?a. they give money. b. they give gifts. c. they send regards. d. they offer help.第二节：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 make friendsfriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. good friendship has many benefits. it offers
