If so, you know that not getting enough sleep can leave you tired and grumpy . Not sleeping enough can also make it harder to think clearly the next day. Sleep experts have long known that getting a good nights sleep is important. It helps kids perform their best during the day. A recent study shows that sleep helps improve problem- solving skills and creative thinking. For the study, two groups of volunteers answered a math problem. The group that slept for eight hours solved the problem correctly more often than the group that did not get enough sleep. While you sleep, your brain is busy doing its “homework”. It sorts out information from your day. Getting enough sleep each night can boost your brainpower. That will help you do your best in school. Experts say that, in return, can lead to better grades.56. What is the best title for the passage?A. Too Much Sleep B. Its Homework TimeC. Sleep to Succeed D. Math Problems57.

Adults need more sleep than kidsBOnce upon a time, there was a farmer in central China. He didnt have money, so instead of a tractor(拖拉机) , he used an old horse to plow his field(犁地). One afternoon, while working in the field, the horse fell down, dead. Everyone in the village said, “Oh, what a horrible thing!” The farmer said simply, “Well see.” He was so peaceful and so calm that everyone in the village got together and, admiring his attitude, gave him a new horse as a gift.Everyones reaction now was, “What a lucky man!” And the farmer said, “Well see.” A couple of days later, the new horse jumped over a fence and ran away. Everyone in the village shook their heads and said, “What a poor fellow!” The farmer smiled and said, “Well see.”Finally, the horse found his way home, and everyone said, “What a fortunate man!” The farmer said, “Well see.”Later in the year, the farmers young boy went out riding the horse and fell and broke his leg. Everyone in the village said, “What a poor boy!” The farmer said, “Well see.”Two days later, the army came into the village to draft new recruits (征召新兵).When they saw the farmers son had a broken leg, they decided not to recruit him. Everyone said, “What a fortunate young man!” The farmer smiled again and said, “Well see.”Theres no use in overreacting(反应过度) to the events and circumstances(境况) of our everyday lives. When our hearts are in the right place, all events and circumstances are gifts that we can learn valuable lessons from.60.

It is a traditional festival for Chinese people. It comes from a romantic ancient Chinese story. Niu Lang and Zhi Nv, two lovers who got separated by the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens, can only meet that night. Thanks to this touching story, Chinese people regard the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar as Chinese Valentines Day. In China people also call it “Qixi”.Meanwhile, February 14 of the solar calendar is European Valentines Day. It is related to a moving story too. The story goes that, there was a cruel king in ancient Rome whose name was Claudius. He forbade the youth to get married during the wars, which made the lovers angry. There was a monk (修道士) named Valentine who was very angry at the rule and the king. One day a couple of lovers came to his temple to ask for help to get married. Valentine helped them. Later, many couples got married with Valentines help. But Claudius knew it soon. He put Valentine to death cruelly. And that day was February 14, the year of 270.Compared with European Valentines Day, Qixi is less popular in China though it is a traditional Chinese festival. There may be many reasons. First of all, the lunar calendar is not easy to remember for most of the young people who are used to the solar calendar. Secondly, to many businessmen, European Valentines Day is not only a festival for lovers but also a good chance to make money. Most of the flower shops can sell their flowers at a good price on European Valentines Day while the business drops in Qixi, because on European Valentines Day lovers know more about how to enjoy it. They exchange cards, flowers and go out to date. But most of them dont know the culture of Chinese Valentines Day or how to celebrate it.64. This text is mainly about _.A. two moving romantic storiesB. something about Qixi and Valentines DayC. why young people prefer Western festivalsD. how Qixi is different from European Valentines Day65. Qixi is less popular than European Valentines Day because _.A. businessmen think that European Valentines Day is more important than QixiB. the government encourages people to celebrate foreign festivalsC. the costs on Qixi are higher than those on European Valentines DayD. the lunar calendar is not easy to remember and people dont know how to enjoy Qixi66. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Lovers exchange cards, flowers and go out to date on Qixi.B. Valentine helped a couple of lovers kill the cruel king.C. European Valentines Day was named after a person.D. Old people in China dislike young people celebrating European Valentines Day.67. If the text goes on, what will probably be talked about in the next paragraph?A. Young people should fight for love and happiness.B. Chinese people should treasure traditional Chinese festivals more.C. Qixi will also become an international festival in the future.D. Chinese people should stop celebrating European Valentines Day.DEveryone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are Gods way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it? The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks.

You should make each other happy and share your lives.But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesnt want to talk, you could write a letter.There are three steps to being friends again:Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that.
