In China, more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before. Most students sleep less than nine hours every night, because they have much homework to do. Some homework is given by their teachers, and some by their parents. Also, some students don’t know how to save time. They are not careful enough while they do their homework, so it takes them a lot of time. Some students spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games. They stay up(熬夜) very late. Some students have to get up early every morning on weekdays to get to school on time by bus or by bike. It can be a long way from home to school. It will probably make them sleepy(困的) during school hours.
Schools and parents should cut down some of the homework so that our children can enjoy more than nine hours of sleep every night for their health. For children, they should make the most (best use ) of their time. When they have enough time for sleeping , they will find it much better for both their study and health.
According to the passage, who else gives children some homework to do besides their teachers? (no more than 2 words)

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?
  Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an"Official Taste Tester"for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream--as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).
 Some people think that it would be easy to do this job: after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No--there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this"cool"field.
  In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains,"You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup."
  While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance."Tasting begins with the eyes,"he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself,"Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?"Next it’s time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy--working at one cool job.
What is John Harrison’s job?

A.An official. B.An ice-cream taster.
C.A chemist. D.An ice-cream manufacturer.

According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the"cool field", it is helpful to ______.

A.keep a diary of work B.have a degree in related subjects
C.have new ideas every day D.find out new flavors each day

What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?

A.He stirs the ice cream.
B.He examines the color of the ice cream.
C.He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.
D.He lets the ice cream warm up.

Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?

A.Tasting with Eyes B.Flavors of Ice Cream
C.John Harrison’s Life D.One Cool Job

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a piece of advice, “I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,” she offered. “Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”
The husband agreed. So each of them tried to think of the things that annoyed them about the other and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.
“I’ll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband’s eyes because he never thought that he had so many shortcomings.
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. “Now, you read your list and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists,” she said happily.
Quietly the husband stated, “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect. I don’t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn’t want to try and change anything about you.” The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us and see the wonderful things before us?
Why were there tears in the husband’s eyes when the wife read his annoyances?

A.Because he had no courage to face his shortcomings.
B.Because he never thought he had so many annoyances in his wife’s eyes.
C.Because he was sorry that he didn’t find any annoyance about his wife.
D.Because he didn’t think he deserved to have such a perfect wife.

After hearing the husband’s words, the wife felt _________.     .

A.moved and ashamed B.sad and disappointed
C.satisfied and proud D.surprised and confused

The story is intended to tell us that ___________.     .

A.disappointment cannot be avoided in our life
B.young couples should be more tolerant (宽容的) to each other
C.we should turn a blind eye to other people’s blame
D.we should try to look for and see the wonderful things around us

Stop Spam!
When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming (发送垃圾邮件) a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual (个人的) e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.messages B.ideas C.connections D.programs

A.Companies rely on e-mail for communications.
B.More people in the world communicate by e-mails.
C.Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.
D.More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.

According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?

A.The business B.The advertiser.
C.The employee D.The consumer.

What is the purpose of the text?

A.To inform. B.To educate. C.To persuade. D.To instruct.

Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills. With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs(READ).
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department.
Last November, the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children's department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “paw graphed” book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.
What is mainly discussed in the text?

A.Children’s reading difficulties.
B.Advantages of raising dogs.
C.Service in public library.
D.A special reading program.

Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think ______________.

A.dogs are young children's best friends
B.children can play with dogs while reading
C.dogs can provide encouragement for shy children
D.children and dogs understand each other

By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”, the writer means the library ____________.
A. uses dogs to attract children.
B. accepts the idea put forward by ITA.
C. has opened a children's department.
D. has decided to train some dogs.
A “paw graphed” book is most probably_____________.

A.a book used in Saturday classes
B.a book written by the children
C.a prize for the children
D.a gift from parents
