At first sight, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed he was surely a thief.However, when I saw his eyes full of fear, my anger disappeared. I smiled and asked, Are you Mr. Rams student Rubens? Im his butler (男管家). Ive heard Mr. Ram say his student will come. It must be you.Has my teacher gone out? the boy said, I think Id better visit him again in a while.I nodded and asked him, Do you like playing the violin?Yes, but Im too poor to afford one. the boy replied.Then, Ill give you this violin. The boy looked at me surprisingly, but he picked up the violin. While going out of the room, he suddenly saw a huge photo of me playing the violin at the Grand Theatre of Sydney on the wall. His face turned pale. He stood there for a moment and ran out. He must have understood what had happened because no master (主人) would put up the butlers photo on the wall of his living room.A few years later, at a music competition in Melbourne, I was invited to be the judge (评委). Finally, a violin player called Merritt won the first prize.After the prize-giving, Merritt ran to me holding a violin box, his face red, and asked, Mr. Brian, do you still know me?

I remember when I was traveling, I began to know the world better. The world is not just about me, my small town and home. Although you will meet different people from all over the world, you will realize that people are similar in their dreams, hopes and feelings. Enjoy exploring(探索) the different cultures, and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live. Once you understand their ways, it will not be strange or scary(吓人的). Often we read stories about other cultures in books. Only when we visit their areas, do we find that those stories are something wrong. One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world. We cant just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out. The world should get involved(干预) and help wherever there are problems. People everywhere should be given a chance. It is so easy to ignore(忽视) this if one does not travel or explore. One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges(挑战) worse than ours. One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all. On your journey you will meet lots of new friends. Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time. You will certainly be more confident after having to deal with problems and make many decisions along the way. When you travel, you have to be on your own in some situations. You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that. All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read. It would be filled with your special memories. Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience. If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences, we would all be better people and the world would be a better place. （1） The writer wants to tell us that _ in paragraph 2.

But no matter how we decide, there are still many chances that we break our promises.This behavior is called bedtime procrastination(睡眠拖延症), and results from being short of selfcontrol and our body clock.Bedtime procrastination is a common problem. According to a study, Among 2, 400 people, 53 percent of them couldnt follow their sleeping time they had planned, delaying(推迟)it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldnt stop doing some other things.Accordingly, People who usually have trouble resisting temptations(抵制诱惑) and adhering to their intentions(坚持己见) are more likely to delay going to bed.However, scientists think being short of selfcontrol is not the only problem. Our body clock also lays an important role when it comes to bedtime.In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, scientists studied the sleep patterns (t模式)of 108 people. It was found that those who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime than those who woke up early every morning.And more surprisingly, night owls(夜猫子)would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. Its their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime.People always think that bedtime procrastination isnt a big problem, but the choices we make that affect (影响)our sleep could finally be pretty important for our health.（1） Bedtime procrastination is partly because of .

A . is not a big problemB . has no any influence on our bodyC . is the choice we makeD . is harmful16. （6分） 阅读理解 Dreams may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream, some scientists say.Dreams take up about one quarter（四分之一）of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may think about their work all day. These ideas can carry over into dreams.Too many dreams can be harmful(伤害的).The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep but we still wake up tired.（1） Dreams take up about _ of our sleeping time. A . halfB . one thirdC . one fourthD . one fifth（2） It may be less important to sleep than to _. A . thinkB . dreamC . workD . study（3） Dreams are usually _.

She wanted to buy her a present that would be nice and useful but not expensive.A week before her mothers birthday, she went shopping after a quick and simple lunch.
