Once upon a time， a young man wanted to go to a village on business．Halfway there was a mountain． Before he left home， his family warned him to stay calm and climb onto trees if he was in face of beasts（野兽）． In this way， the beasts couldn't do anything to him．
The young man remembered these words and began his trip．
He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there． He thought his family's worries were unnecessary． And he became relaxed as he walked． Just at that moment， he saw a fierce（凶猛的） tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once．
The tiger roared（咆哮） around the tree and even jumped to reach the man． The young man was too scared to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger． Full of fear． he had to hold the tiger tightly． The tiger thought that must be a giant beast， So it was afraid and started running madly．
People on the road didn′t know what happened and said，" Look at the young man， He is riding a tiger! "Cool!" "Superman!"

After a while attention to Tom ended， and the usual school murmur（嗡嗡读书声）rose upon the boring air once more． Now the boy began to steal secret glances（偷看） at the girl． She noticed it， made a face at him and gave him the back of her head for the space of a minute． When she slowly faced around again， an apple lay before her． She pushed it away． Tom gently put it back． She pushed it away again， but with less animosity（敌意）． Tom patiently returned it to its place． Then she let it remain． Tom wrote on his paper， "Please take it﹣I got more．" The girl glanced at the words， but made no sign．
Now the boy began to draw something on the paper， hiding his work with his left hand． For a time the girl refused to notice； but her human curiosity（好奇心） soon began to show itself by hardly noticeable（明显的） signs． The boy worked on， seemingly not aware． The girl made some non﹣committal（含糊的） efforts to see， but the boy did not display that he was aware of it． At last she couldn't bear it and whispered：
"Let me see it．"
Tom partly uncovered the picture of a house with some smoke rising from the chimney（烟囱）． Then the girl's interest began to fasten itself upon the work and she forgot everything else． When it was finished， she gazed a moment， then whispered：
"It's nice﹣draw a man．"
The artist created a man in the front yard； she was satisfied， and whispered：
"It's a beautiful man﹣﹣now draw me in it．"
Tom drew an hour﹣glass（沙漏） as the body， a full moon as her head and some arms added to it． The girl said：
"It's ever so nice﹣I wish I could draw． No one has ever taught me that．"
"It's easy，" whispered Tom， "I'll learn you．"
"Oh， will you？ When？"
"At noon． Do you go home to dinner？"
"I'll stay if you will．"
"Good﹣that's a deal． What's your name？"

We wake up very early to go to school， maybe even earlier to meet with a teacher， complete our extracurricular（课程以外的） activities， come home to have a quick dinner， talk for eight minutes with our parents and do homework until we fall asleep． But then we remember． We have to look at the American College Test（ACT） exercises one more time． Half asleep， we run downstairs to get the ACT book， and start studying． After this we finally get to turn off the lights and drift away to sleep． And then six hours later， we do it all over again．
In my health class， my teacher told us that teenagers need at least eight to nine hours of sleep each night． The sad truth is， with so much to do every day， high school students cannot keep to this sleep schedule（安排）．
Let me ask you all a question： Doesn't it seem more humane（人道的） to give a teenager perhaps two hours of homework each night？ This would allow us to have the eight to nine hours of much needed sleep． Or does it seem better to pile students with five hours of work a night？ It leaves us very little time to relax， therefore reducing the time that we can sleep．
In my opinion， the present structure（结构） of the junior year of high school doesn't work well． Junior year of high school is a time for growth． By this time many students have the ability to think creatively， and solve challenging problems． Homework is important for a student's growth． But do we really need to spend countless hours a night doing it？ Too much homework can only lead to too little sleep and too low an ability． I do think it is time to change the structure， so that we sleep at home， and learn at school．
（1）In the first paragraph the writer gives ．
A． a picture of the present daily life of high school students
B． an example of an ideal daily life of high school students
C． a reason for high school students to live a busy daily school life
D． a suggestion of what high school students should do to pass ACT
（2）From the last paragraph we know that the writer thinks ．
A． Junior year of high school is the most important growth period
B． challenging problems are needed for a teenager's growth
C． the ability to think has nothing to do with homework
D． the present structure leads to students often sleeping in class
（3）Why does the writer write this article？
A． To prove the role of enough sleep in teenagers' growth．
B． To complain about the problems in the system of the ACT．
C． To ask for a change for less homework and more sleep．
D． To discuss the relationship between sleep and homework．
How to investigate
①Planning
•Decide on a scientific problem to investigate
For example， a student named Mary has decided to research into how quickly sugar dissolves（溶解） in water．
•Write down your hypothesis
You may already have an idea of what you expect to happen in your investigation． This idea is called your hypothesis． It may not be right! It is just an idea， though it may be based on work in science which you have done before． The aim of your investigation is to test your idea．
•Decide what variables（变量） you are dealing with
Things like temperature， size， weight， and colour are called variables． Variables are things you can
measure（测量）．
In your investigation， you have to decide what the variables are， which ones you will keep fixed， and which you will change．
You need to change just one variable at a time． If lots of variables change at once． it won't be a good test．
•Decide what equipment you need， and in what order you will do things
•Prepare tables for your results
②Getting your evidence（数据）
•Make your measurements， and record your results
③Reaching conclusions
•Look for patterns in your results
•Present your conclusions
What links（关联） did you find between any of the variables？ How would you explain these links？
④Checking your findings
•Compare your conclusions and hypothesis
Do your results support your idea？
（1）What does the underlined word "hypothesis" most probably mean？
A． reason
B． result
C． method
D． guess
（2）In Mary's investigation， which of the following about the variables is true？
A． She can only change one variable at a time．
B． Some of the variables can't be measured．
C． Her weight and age can be the variables．
D． The temperature of water cannot be a variable．
（3）What is the passage mainly about？
A． How to do a scientific research．
B． How to explain a scientific finding．
C． How to deal with a chemistry problem．
D． How to understand some chemistry knowledge．
