Many people commented on our websites.For example, Damla Ece in Turkey wrote: I agree with the idea of starting lessons later so teenagers can feel better in the morning.Tran in Vietnam disagreed: I think teenagers, on average, need eight to ten hours for sleep everyday. Its useless trying to force them to concentrate while they cant concentrate. Afshin Heydari from Iran wrote: Schools should start early to avoid heavy traffic later in the morning.And Suze from Jordan wrote: When I was a teenager, I enjoyed taking my courses as early as possible. That way I could find a long time in the day to do my own activities.Joruji in Japan wrote: When I was a teenager, I used to get up before six to go to school, which was far from home, and I dont remember having problems. I think nowadays the Internet, TV games and cell phones make teens go to sleep later. Thirty-year-old Kika in Spain said: In my opinion, young people are very lazy. But Dennis Jin disagreed: For high school students in China, we must reach the classroom at six-twenty in the morning and be back home usually at ten in the evening. Then well have some extra schoolwork to do. Can you imagine how long could we sleep every day?Teenagers are not the only ones who suffer. Kathy in Canada wrote: My daughter likes complaining about everything in the morning, and I wish schools should change their start time to 8:30 or 9:00 in the morning.And Naima Star in Libia wrote: Getting up so early in the morning and leaving the warm bed is so difficult, especially in the cold weather. It reminds me of that old song: “Its nice to get up in the morning,but its nicer to stay in bed.”21. About teenagers sleep time, which people belong to one group?A. Joruji, Tran, and Kika.B. Tran, Kathy, and Dennis Jin.C. Suze, Kathy, and Afshin Heydari. D. Suze, Tran, and Afshin Heydari.22. From Dennis Jins words, we can see he expressed his _.A. amazement B. PleasureC. determination D. dissatisfaction23. While giving his view, Suze took into consideration（考虑） _.A.her own habit B. the political situationC. The school environment D.the traffic conditionsBWhile at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a beach near a playground. “Thats my son over there,” she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding(滑行) down the slide.“Hes a fine-looking boy,” the man said. “Thats my son on the swing in the blue sweater.” Then, looking at his watch, he called to his son,” What do you say if we go, Todd?” Todd pleaded(恳求), “Just five more minutes, Dad. please? Just five more minutes.”The man nodded and Todd continued to swing to his hearts content. Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his son. “Time to go now?” Again Todd pleaded, “Five more minutes, Dad. Just five more minutes.” The man smiled and said, “Okay.” “You certainly are a patient father,” the woman responded.The man smiled and then said ,”My older son Tommy was killed by a drunken driver last year while he was riding his bike near here. I never spent much time with Tommy and now Id give anything for just five more minutes with him. Ive vowed(发誓) not to make the same mistake again with Todd.” “He thinks he has five more minutes to swing. The truth is I get five minutes to watch him play.”Life is all about making priorities(优先). What are your priorities? Give someone you love five more minutes of your time today. 24. The womans son was_ .A. in red B. wearing a blue sweaterC. called Todd D. playing on the swing25.

As I got older, I realized something very important. If just once you stop being honestand tell a lie, it will greatly change peoples opinions about you and their way of acting toward you. When you tell a lie, you lose that persons trust forever or have to work your whole life to get it back. It is my personal goal to achieve great things in life and honesty will sure help me get there. For me right now losing somebodys trust would be a truly terrible thing. My parents would be stricter on the things they let me do and the places that they used to let me go to. My friends would never again tell me a secret or believe many things I told them. Whatever you do for a living or wherever you live, honesty is something very important for all of you. Honesty gets you much higher in life while telling a lie can make you get into more problems. I can already tell that the great people I have met so far are all extremely honest people. Being dishonest to me in a way is like taking drugs. It will permanently reflect upon you and change everything about you. I hope that Ill never fall into a situation where Ill lie. Honesty is just as important to me as my family. Already, I know it is something that will improve my future and my relationship with all people. It is something about myself that I hope to never lose no matter what happens. Most of all honesty will help me no matter whether Im at school, home or just hanging out with friends. It is something that I hope my children will also have and value.28. Which of the following ideas does the author agree with?A. Parents should not take kids lies seriously.B. Being honest isnt any good for our lifestyle.C. Telling a lie once can have very bad effects on ones life.D. One develops the habit of telling lies in his childhood easily.29. Whats the character(品质) great people share according to the author?A. Courage B. Honesty.C. Intelligence D. Leadership30. The underlined word “permanently” in paragraph 3 probably means _.A. for the moment B. all of a suddenC. from time to time D. for a long time31. What can we learn according to the text?A. Being honest can helps us achieve high goals.B. True friendship is possible without being honest.C. To avoid problems in life we have to be kind first.D. We have to trust people if we want to get along with them.DWe all know that exercise is good for your healthBut some kinds of exercise may be better than othersRunning, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problemsRunning may also help you live longer. It also does not matter how fast or even how often you run. As advertisements for the running shoes Nike say, “Just Do It.” Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About a quarter of the adults reported running regularlyThe study found these runners were considerably less likely than non-runners to die any form of disease. In fact, the runners lived , on average, three years longer than the non-runnersThis study lasted 15 years. During that time, more than 3,400 of the individuals died. About 1,200 of the deaths were linked to heart disease, heart attack or stroke.One of the researchers is a man named D.C.Lee, a professor of Iowa States University. Compared to non-runners, he say, runners showed a much lower risk of dying from some diseases. “compared to non-runners, runners showed 30 percent lower risk of death by any causes, including heart attack, stroke or cancer. Also runners compared to non-runners showed 45 percent lower risk of death by cardiovascular disease(心血管疾病), including heart attack and stroke”D.C.Lee and the other researchers found that speed, distance and how often one runs made little difference in reducing the risk of death. The runners in the study averaged between 10 and 16 km per hour. Mr. Lee said slower runners, and those who only run once or twice a week, were helped nearly as much as those who ran faster and further. “and we also looked at the running over time and we found that persistent runners (over six years) showed the biggest benefits, as well.”32. What does the author mean by quoting Nikes ad “Just Do It”?A. Its time for you to start running. B. Nike has always keep its promise.C. You have to run as fast as possible. D. Running does you good whatever its form.33. The researcher got the results of their study main by _.A. Analyzing dataB. Having interviewsC. Doing experimentsD. Doing field survey34.

Running greatly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.35. What can we know according to Mr. Lee?A. Slower runners and faster runners benefit equally from running.B. You can benefit most if your speed is over 10km per hour.C. You must control you speed properly while running.D. The further you run, the more benefits you will get.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。Ways to Take Care of Your BooksWhat do you do to take care of the books in your library?
