   Parents and teens have long been warned that not getting enough sleep can be unhealthy. However, with the demands of schoolwork, activities and family responsibilities teens often don’t spend enough time on sleep. According to one study, only 15% of teens are getting 8-10 hours of sleep a night they need to function best.

High school English teacher and writer Emily Genser says, “My kids are always asking for nap time! Their lives at home are very stressful. I would be more likely to push for later start times for high school students. They would benefit from another hour of sleep.” Not enough sleep is not only bad for teens’ health, but it can also wreak havoc with their academic (学业的) and athletic performance. It is found that not enough sleep can be linked with drinking, smoking and drug use.

Some high schools are trying a different way. They are allowing tired teens to take a nap in school during the school day in specially designed Energy Pods or just allowing them to spend time in a “quiet room” where technology and conversation are banned. Schools say that a little rest during a packed school day helps students face mounting pressure to get into college.

Because students who sleep better do better and not all of our schools offer nap time, here are some suggestions to help our teens get the sleep they need:

▲Just like in earlier childhood, parents should create a calm atmosphere in the house at bedtime.

▲Encourage a relaxing, regular routine (常规) before bedtime which gives them an opportunity to relax.

▲Persuade them to avoid caffeine after 4 pm.

▲If they do nap, tell them to keep daytime naps less than an hour.

▲Teach them that alcohol and nicotine not only damage their health, but affect their sleep.

▲Show them how regular exercise and a healthy diet promote (促进) good sleep.

【小题1】What does Paragraph 1 mainly want to show?
A.Today’s teens are under too much pressure.
B.Not getting enough sleep harms teens’ health.
C.Today’s teens generally don’t get enough sleep.
D.Teenage students should be helped to function best.

A.To reduce students’ pressure.B.To help students get refreshed.

If Confucius(孔子) were alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But that doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
【小题1】The purpose or the first paragraph is mainly to ________.
A.attract the readers’ interest in the subject
B.provide some key facts about Confucius
C.show great respect for the ancient thinker
D.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
【小题2】We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.
A.take an active part in Chinese competitions
B.try to get high scores in Chinese exams
C.fight for a chance to learn Chinese
D.show great interest in studying Chinese nowadays
【小题3】What is the best title for this passage?
A.Forgotten Wisdom in America
B.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C.Old Thinker with a Big Future
D.Chinese Culture for Westerners

   Pop stars today enjoy what once only belonged to royalty. Wherever they go, people turn out in their thousands to greet them. The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, or colorfully dressed idols. The stars are transported by Rolls- Royces, private helicopters or executive aeroplanes. They are surrounded by managers,press agents and bodyguards. Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported. If they enjoy many of the privileges of royalty, they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well. They are no longer private individuals, but public property. The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated, for their rates of pay are great.
And why not? Society has always rewarded its top entertainers generously. The great days of Hollywood have become legendary:famous stars enjoy fame, wealth and adulation(奉承). According to today's standards, the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so surprising. A single record nowadays may earn much more in royalties(版税) than the films of the past ever did. The competition for the title"Top of the Pops"is fierce, and the rewards are truly huge.
It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way. Don't the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the service they perform to their companies and their countries? Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency-often more than large industrial companies-and the taxman can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer(国库). So who would begrudge them their rewards?
It's all very well for people in boring jobs to complain about the successes and rewards of others. People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg. For every famous star, there are hundreds of people struggling to earn a living. A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards. He has chosen security and peace of mind, so there will always be a limit to what he can earn. But a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. He knows at the very beginning that only a handful of competitors can get to the very top. He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure. But he knows, too, that the rewards for success are very high indeed: they are the payback for the huge risks involved and once he makes it, he will certainly earn them. That's the essence of private enterprise.
【小题1】The underlined word "begrudge"in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to "________".
A.be jealous ofB.be satisfied with
C.be anxious aboutD.be crazy about
【小题2】According to the passage, which of the following can match the view of the author?
A.He who laughs last laughs best.
B.Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
C.He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.
D.Success belongs to the persevering.
【小题3】The author holds a(n) ______ attitude towards the high income of pop stars.
A.criticalB.indifferent
C.optimisticD.supportive
【小题4】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.People are blind in idolizing stars.
B.There is fierce competition in becoming pop stars.
C.The government taxes pop stars very little.
D.Pop stars' life is more luxurious than that of royalty.
