I was a hardworking student and I did well in all the subjects. I finished the questions successfully until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”Of course this was a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She is short and about 60 years old. She has dark hair. But how would I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, Id never even thought about talking to her. I stared at my paper and started to feel rather guilty. Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grades.“Absolutely,” the teacher said. “In your life, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is to smile and to say hello.”Ive never forgotten that lesson.

Do you see any clouds? What do they look like? Some clouds are fluffy(绒毛状的) and white, like cotton balls. Others are dark almost black, and make you hold an umbrella. At sunrise and sunset, clouds can look red, purple, or yellow-as if they were colored with crayons. But what are clouds anyway?You cant reach out and touch the clouds, but you can make your own in a bottle.You need* an adult helper* a huge, empty glass jar* a metal strainer(过滤器)* hot water* iceDo theseStep1. Have your helper fill the jar with hot water, leave it there for two minutes, then pour out most of the water. Leaving just an inch or two at the bottom of the jar.Step2. Its your turn, put the strainer over the mouth of the jar, fill the strainer with ice. Watch the jar.What happened?A cloud formed in the jar! Some of the hot water at the bottom of the jar turned into hot water vapor(蒸汽). The water vapor rose and met with the cold air coming off the ice. When the water vapor condensed, it formed a cloud. Hot air rises and carries with it lots of water vapor, the higher the air rises, the more it cools down. Soon the cold air cant hold all the water vapor so it starts turning into tiny water drops, and becomes a cloud.（1）This text mostly about .A . the weight of a cloudB . what makes a cloudC . the colour of cloudsD . why clouds are fluffy（2）What do you need for Step 1?A . A jar.B . A strainer.C . Ice.D .

Sometimes you may come to realizethis feeling. If so, dont worry. Many people have felt the same thing.In fact, these muscle twitches (肌肉抽搐) in the arms, legs or other parts of the body are called hypnic jerks (入睡抽动) or sleep starts. And they are very common. Up to 70 percent of people experience them sometimes, Huffington Post reported. But what causes it?There are some theories(理论). Some scientists believe that the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing itself, especially if the person is anxious or unable to get comfortable. As youre about to sleep, your muscles become relaxed. But your brain stays awake. It misunderstands the relaxing of your muscles as a sign that youre falling. Then the brain jerks the body awake as if its trying to protect you.Other scientists believe that different phases of sleep might cause the hypnic jerks. When we sleep, we experience two phases: non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM). During REM, our heart rate (心率), breathing and nervous system can act irregularly (不规律地). If the body experiences flashes (一瞬间) of REM while entering sleep, these irregularities could cause twitches.If you dont want to experience hypnic jerks, scientists have some suggestions. When you become deeply relaxed, you can learn how to reconnect slowly by moving your fingers and toes a little bit. Then start to move your head and open your eyes, while being aware of yourself as you get out of the relaxed state.But experts agree that hypnic jerks, though sometimes scary, are harmless. If it wakes you up, simply roll over and go back to sleep. But keep in mind: a caffeinated (含咖啡因的) drink, exciting evening activities or stress may make hypnic jerks happen more often.（1）_ of people dont experience hypnic jerks.A . About 30 percentB . About 40 percentC . 60 percentD . 70 percent（2）The third paragraph mainly tells us _A . there are all kinds of theories about hypnic jerks B . the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing itselfC . different phrases of sleep might cause hypnic jerksD . people sometimes get anxious or uncomfortable（3）From the fourth paragraph, we learn that_A . hypnic jerks take place during NREM B . we experience three phases of sleepC . our nervous system acts regularly during REMD . our heart rate acts irregularly during REM（4）How many theories on what causes hypnic jerks are mentioned?A . TwoB . ThreeC . FourD . Five（5）Which of the following can not make hypnic jerks happen more often?A . Drinking caffeinated drinkB . Playing basketball for a long timeC . Reading a book quietlyD .
