The magician，Liu Qian，discovered it, in front of an audience of millions at CCTVs Spring Festival Gala.

As a seasoned young magician from Taiwan, Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States, Japan, South Korea and the UK. Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of peoples love for magic. Liu is known for his interaction(acting together) with his audiences.

Elizabeth Goudge CIts true that teens dont get enough sleep, but changing the school starting time would have a chaotic effect and throw everyone off balance.Scientists have shown that teens are more active later at night than children and adults, so most teens are probably staying up later for whatever reasons.The researchers measured the presence of the sleep- promoting hormone in teenagers saliva (唾液) at different times of the day. They learned that the hormone (荷尔蒙) levels rise later at night than they do in children than adults and remain at a higher level later in the morning. Measuring the hormone in the saliva is a good way to show that most teens have sleep problems, but changing schools schedules isnt the best way to do to fix this. Most people arguing against changing school schedules would say that it would only cause teens to stay up and wake up later, thus leaving them with the same problem.The biggest problem schools would come across from changing their schedules would be the after school and job conflicts students and teacher would meet. Teachers reported that students were more alert, and research showed that after-school sports and jobs would suffer. Students in that area might have been able to deal with less time for jobs and sports somehow, but some of them have practice and earlier plans that would become conflicted if this change were to occur. Most students rarely have time to play a sport and do homework before 9 or 10 oclock. Opening schools later may have worked for some areas, but the reality is often very different.63. The meaning of the underlined word chaotic (in the 1st paragraph) is close to_.A. positiveB. apparentC. negativeD. definite 64. Most teens have sleep problems because _.A. they are more active than children and adults B. school work takes up most of their time C. their hormone levels are higher later at night D. they probably like staying up for no reasons65. Which of the following is TURE according to the passage? A. There are many conflicts between students and teachersB. Some of the teachers have practice and earlier plansC. Most students are able to do sport and homework before 9:00D. Ways to solve students sleep problems depend from area to area66. The passage mainly develops by _.A. giving reasons B. showing examples C. presenting questions D. offering solutionsDEvery time an election rolls around, people want to know what each candidates stance (立场) is on the issue that are important to them. In deciding which candidate I want to vote for, there are two main issues for me：the economy and education. These issues are important to me because they affect me the most right now.The economy affects everyone, and education is important because I am about to enter college.When I looked at how each candidate views these issues, one man stood out to me, and that is Democratic candidate Barack Obama. I like all of Senator Obamas ideas for improving the economy. He wants to bring the troops home from Iraq, thereby saving the $12 billion we spend there every month.Another point that Obama makes is that the United Statescurrent energy policy is hurting the economy.He believes thal if new energy bills are passed, it will help the U.S.A get out of its current economic slump (萧条), and I agree. With these ideas and strategies, I strongly believe that Obama can improve the current state of the economy. Obama also has a plan to improve education. He believes that we need to start educating children at a young age. He also hopes to close the gap of achievement between students,which means improving schools that need help. He wants to pay teachers more and treat them like professionals, but in exchange he calls for higher responsibility. Obama also has a plan to make college more affordable. He wants public colleges to be free for students who maintain a“B”average during high school. And he plans to give a $4,000 tax credit for college and university students who complete 100 hours of community service each year.I believe these ideas to improve education are good enough and will help many students. Therefore, there is no longer any doubt in my mind who will be receiving my vote：Barack Obama. 67. We may learn from the passage that the author is a (n) _. A. college studentB. economistC. senior high studentD. candidate68. What interests the author most in Obamas stance is_. A. economy and educationB. the military and educationC. foreign affairs and education D. the military and economy69. Which of the following are among Obamas promises?a. to bring troops home from Iraqb. to reduce income taxc. to start early educationd. to develop American eco
