Reducing the amount of sleep affects students’ performance at school. An American study asked schoolteachers to look at the effects of sleep restriction（限制） on children between six and twelve years of age. The teachers found that children who stayed up late had trouble thinking clearly and had more learning problems.
1. Doctor Fallone now works at the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, Missouri. He presented the results last month at a science reporter conference in Washington, D. C. The Publication Sleep also reported the findings.
The teachers were asked to complete weekly performance reports on seventy-four schoolchildren. The study lasted three weeks. During that period, Doctor Fallone and his team controlled the amount of sleep the children received.
2. During another week, every child was kept awake later than normal. Each night, the youngest boys and girls had less than eight hours of sleep. The older ones were limited to six and a half hours. During the final week of the study, each child received no less than ten hours of sleep a night.
The teachers were not told about how much sleep the students received. The study found that students who received eight hours or less had the most difficulty remembering old information. 33.
The study did not find that sleep restriction caused hyperactivity(极度活跃) in the children. 4.
Doctor Fallone said that the results provided experts and parents with a clear message: 5.
A. The sleeping time that the students have can be changed easily.
B. They also had trouble learning new information, completing difficult work and following directions.
C. During one week, the children went to bed and awoke at their usual time.
D. The teacher should restrict the amount of sleep of the students.
E. Gahan Fallone did the study at the Brown Medical School and Bradley Hospital in the state of Rhode Island.
F. The teachers reported that students were, in fact, a little less active at school when they got less sleep.
G. When a child has learning problems, the issue of sleep must be considered among the possible causes.

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
1.How do you understand‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate, …’?
A. People don’t communicate without telephone.
B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D. People communicate more because of more traffic.
2.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?
A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.
B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well as little secret to people.
C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
D. Mobile phones are part of people’s life.
3.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through _______.
A. the TV screen
B. a fax machine
C. the phone line hooked up to the computer
D. a microphone
4.The best heading for the passage is _________.
A. Phone Power
B. Kinds of Phone
C. How to Use Phones
D. Advantage of Phones

LEEDS, England--- A Leeds University psychology professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Bristons forgive their enemies.
“The hatred we hold within us is a cancer,” Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
More than seventy people have become members in Hart’s first 20-week workshop in London--- a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.
These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian- born Hart.
The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.
The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. “People have lots of the attitudes towards forgiveness,” he said. “People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one.”
Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.
“The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you’re angry with,” said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project. Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people “want to get free of the past.”
1.According to the passage if you’re angry with somebody, you should ________.
A. try your best to defeat him or her
B. break off relations with him or her
C. persuade him or her to have a talk with you
D. relax yourself by not thinking of him or her any more
2.Afrer reading the passage we are more aware that ________.
A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hatred
B. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professors
C. without hatred people will have less trouble connected with blood and heart
D. people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies
3.If you’re a member of Hart’s workshop, you’ll _______.
A. pay a large amount of money
B. go to the course every night in twenty weeks
C. attend a gathering twice a month
D. pour out everything stored in your mind in the workshop
4.The author wrote this passage in order to _______.
A. persuade people to go to Hart’s course
B. tell us the news about Hart’s workshop
C. tell us how to run a workshop like Hart’s

The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its finding on the safety of cloned animals.
The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult animals are safe to eat. They called them “as safe to eat as the food we eat every day.” And when those clones reproduce sexually(有性繁殖), the agency says, their offspring(后代)are safe to eat as well.
The United States this year could become the first country to allow the sale of foods from cloned animals. First，however，the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. On December 28th the F.D.A. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents. The agency says it must receive comments by April 2nd. The F.D.A. seemed ready to act several years ago，but an advisory committee called for more research.
For now，the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they do not sell foods from cloned animals.
Clones are still rare. They cost a lot and are difficult to produce. The F.D.A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves, but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.
Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals. But this research also shows the public know little about cloning. Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a socalled donor animal is grown into an embryo(胚胎)in the laboratory. Next, the embryo is placed into the uterus(子宫)of a female animal. If the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches its full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.
1. From the passage, we know ________.
A. the US government is very cautious about the safety of cloned foods
B. foods from cloned animals are popular in America
C. cloned animals will be easy to produce
D. most foods from cloning are expected to come from clones themselves
2.Who believes that foods from cloning are safe to eat?
A. Most Americans. B. An advisory committee.
C. Critics. D. The F.D.A. .
3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A. cloning has much in common with genetic engineering
B. not every cell taken from a donor animal can grow into a genetic copy
C. the donor animal should be a female one
D. cloned animals grow faster than normal ones
4. Whether the sale of cloned foods is allowed in the US depends on ________.
A. cloning technology
B. the advisory committee’s research
C. public comments
D. the documents of the F.D.A.

Tayka Hotel De Sal
Where: Tahua, Bolivia
How much: About $95 a night
Why it’s cool: You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That’s something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt—including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses (床垫) and blankets).The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried-up lake that’s the world’s biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste of wet salt that hardens when it dries. When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.
Green Magic Nature Resort
Where: Vythiri, India
How much: About $240 a night
Why it’s cool: Ridding a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure. As you look out of your open window—there is no glass!—you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy. Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read. You don’t even have to come down for breakfast—the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”.
Dog Bark Park Inn B&B
Where: Cottonwood, Idaho
How much: $92 a night
Why it’s cool: This doghouse isn’t just for the family pet. Sweet Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly. Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side. You can relax in the main bedroom, go up a few steps of the loft in Willy’s head, or hang out inside his nose. Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters, there is also a toilet in the 12-foot-tall fire hydrant outside.
Gamirasu Cave Hotel
Where: Ayvali, Turkey
How much: Between $130 and $475 a night.
Why it’s cool: This is caveman cool! Experience what it was like 5,000 years ago, when people lived in these mountain caves formed by volcanic ash. But your stay will be much more modern. Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel, and the white volcanic ash, called tufa, keeps the rooms cool, about 65℉in summer.(Don’t worry—there is heat in winter.)
