阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Can you tell the time on an analog clock? 【小题1】 (hope), you can! It’s the only way for you to know the time when 【小题2】 (take) exams.

However, some high schools in the UK will remove analog clocks 【小题3】 exam halls and use digital.【小题4】 instead. The reason is that 【小题5】 (teenage) are unable to read the correct time on analog clocks. They are used to seeing the time on the phone, 【小题6】 on the computer. Nearly everything they’ve got is digital.

Teachers want their students to feel as 【小题7】 (relax) as possible during exams. However, having a 【小题8】(tradition) clock in the room could make students feel stressed out during an exam Many of them might raise their hands to ask 【小题9】 time it is.

The schools are trying to make everything as easy and straightforward as possible for students during the exams. Another advantage of using digital clocks 【小题10】 (be) that students are less likely to get the time wrong.

When we first gave our daughters（then 13 and 15 years old）cell phones for emergencies，we made them sign an agreement in which we strictly ruled where and when they could use their phones and even we could check their every text message. However，in less than a year，we lost control of the situation.

There is a terrible reality that almost every teenager sends between 50 and 100 messages a day-some as many as 300，and 70%of teenagers admit hiding their online behavior from parents. According to a study，teenagers need as much sleep or more than they get as children-that's between 9 and 10 hours of sleep a night，but only 20%of them are getting it. When they don't get enough sleep，they perform poorly in school，feel very hungry，are more likely to have flu and are very emotional.

Recently，we adopted a "check in at tuck in（盖被子时交手机）" rule at our house，an idea I learnt from a parenting expert. It is very simple. At bedtime，when we "tuck in" our children for the night，they must "check in" their phones. They will probably bargain like this：

"But I use it for my alarm clock."

"I'll wake you up."

"My friends might need me."

"If there is an emergency，they can call the fixed phone and I'll wake you up."

A few weeks ago，when I drove my younger daughter to a friend's house for a sleepover（睡衣聚会），she handed me her phone. "I guess I should check this in now，since you won't be there to tuck me in tonight. I'll call you from Ellie's phone if I need you."

【小题1】The writer bought cell phones for his children in the hope of ________.

A．controlling their online behavior

B．making them study hard through the Internet

C．replacing alarm clocks with cell phones

D．keeping in touch if something urgent happened

【小题2】The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.

A．show the writer's family life

B．lead to the topic of the passage

C．advise parents to buy cell phones for children

D．introduce the writer's two daughters

【小题3】From the last paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A．the writer's daughters no longer used phones

B．the writer won the "battle" with his daughters

C．the writer gave up his "check in at tuck in" rule

D．the writer's daughters decided to move out of home

【小题4】Which is probably the best title for the passage?

A．How to Take Control of Children

B．How to Help Children Sleep Well at Night

C．How to Assist Children with Cell Phones

D．How to Keep Children Away from Cell Phones at Night

Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tire. It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情绪的) attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
【小题1】What surprised the scientists a few years ago?

A．Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.

B．Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn after a day’s work.

C．The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.

D．A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.

【小题2】According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?

A．Challenging mental work.	B．Unpleasant emotions.
C．Endless tasks.	D．Physical labor.

【小题3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ idea?

A．He agrees with them.	B．He doubts them.
C．He argues against them.	D．He hesitates to accept them.

【小题4】We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ___________.

A．have some good food.	B．enjoy their work
C．exercise regularly	D．discover fatigue toxins
