A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ¥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.
“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valua-ble lesson today. No matter  what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值)。 It was still worth ¥ l00!”

It was Day 1 of our vacation on Cortes, a beautiful quiet island. "iPhone, iPhone, iPhone," my son kept moaning (呻吟). In front of him was a big window facing the blue ocean. And a cool gentle wind was coming in from the door. Clearly, he saw and felt none of it.

Back at home, I'd soon give up and hand the phone over to him after five minutes of listening to this kind of moaning.

But not here,Before we left,I had told my 10﹣year﹣old son the rule ﹣﹣ no emails,no Facebook,no video games, and no iPhone. We came here to get away from them all. Here we were on our first day and already, he couldn't stand it.

I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea. My 6﹣year﹣old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood. They were doing just fine.

On Day 2,we spent the whole morning digging for shells (贝壳).This time, my son joined us. He collected shellfish and other sea treasures. When we got back to our little wood house, I gave my son a book, and put him on the lovely garden chair. It was almost dinner when he looked up.

The next few days passed in peace.

On Day 6, my son was lying beside me on the beach, watching the sun going down. He was playing with the sand. And there was something shining in his eyes. I realized how time slowed down for both of us. It was exactly what I wanted. Finally, we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens, phone calls and e﹣mail.

Sleep plays an important role in our life. A lack of sleep can influence our ability to work and study.

Normal people need 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. But for teenagers, a healthy amount(数量) is about 8 to 10 hours. Sadly, only 1 3 of people manage that.

(3)  

People can make mistakes if they don't get enough sleep. Students cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Drivers who have fallen asleep while driving have caused 1%﹣10% of the traffic accidents in our life. And we can imagine what will happen if a doctor feels sleepy at the operating﹣table!

阅读下面材料,然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案.

Mark Zuckerberg, who starts the social network Facebook, often wears jeans and a T﹣shirt to work, including to important business meetings. Not everyone agrees with him. Some people say he doesn't look serious this way.

Harvard Business School researcher, Franccsca Gino, has a different idea. While most people seem to think that dressing differently from those around you generally has a bad influence, she believes it can actually have a positive(积极的) effect. And she's done experiments to support her idea. When her researchers, wearing sportswear, visited the expensive shops an Italy, they were usually viewed as wealthier and more important people than those who were well﹣dressed in designer clothes.

Do people always view less formal(正式的) clothing more positively? Researchers in France took their research out into the street, to the general public. The video they made shows an actor dressed in a well﹣cut suit and shiny shoes. While walking along the road, he begins to cough badly, stops to catch his breath and falls down. Before he even calls for help, people rush to help him. In another video, the actor appears at the same crowded place and repeats the actions in exactly the same way. But this time, no one comes to help. What's the difference? He's wearing untidy clothes and looks like a homeless person. In a situation like this, the clothes you're wearing could mean the difference between life and death.

It seems that our clothing doesn't only change the way others view us, but also the way we see ourselves. In an experiment testing students' ability to pay attention to details(细节), the group wearing white lab coats did the best.Why? Researchers told them that they were wearing the doctors coats. The experiment didn't show whether such influences would last long. More experiments are needed in the future before we decide to make the doctors' coats a must of fashion.

(1)Mark Zuckerberg is not considered serious by some people because   

A. he does not listen to others' advice

B. he sets up a network of video games

C. he wears jeans and a T﹣shirt to work

D. he often plays jokes at business meetings

(2)Which of the following is Gino's opinion according to Paragraph 2?  

A. It is necessary to buy expensive clothes.

B. Wearing less formal clothes is in fact good.

C. It is bad to dress differently from people around you.

D. Wearing sports clothes makes you look less important.

(3)In Paragraph 3, the writer proves(证明) his (her) opinion mainly   

A. by giving reasons

B. by using pictures

C. by comparing facts

D. by listing numbers

(4)What can we learn from the passage?  

A. What we wear makes a difference.

B. Formal clothing makes a wise man.

C. Our value depends on what we wear.

D. Our clothing influences our characters.

阅读下面材料,然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案.

Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9, 500﹣square﹣metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well﹣organized park but there's a difference. It lies on the roofs(屋顶) of industria land office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.

Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.

Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the "urban heat﹣island effect". On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.

Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage(排水) system._____ And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.

While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic, whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten﹣floor block.

(1)With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain   

A. how wildlife is protected

B. what a green roof is like

C. how to organize a good park

D. what to do with a spare roof

(2)The underlined word " moderate" in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to "  ".

A. raise

B. check

C. record

D. control

(3)Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?  

A. A green roof is alive.

B. A green roof stops pollution.

C. A common roof is noisy.

D. A common roof increases the cost.

(4)The purpose of the passage is to   

A. discover the problems with green roofs

B. introduce the change of green roofs

C. show the amazing beauty of green roofs

D. describe the advantages of green roofs
