2. Reducing the amount of sleep affects students’ performance at school. An American study asked schoolteachers to look at the effects of sleep restriction(限制) on children between six and twelve years of age. The teachers found that children who stayed up late had trouble thinking clearly and had more learning problems.
【小题1】          Doctor Fallone now works at the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, Missouri. He presented the results last month at a science reporter conference in Washington, D. C.. The publication Sleep also reported the findings.
The teachers were asked to complete weekly performance reports on seventy-four schoolchildren. The study lasted three weeks. During that period, Doctor Fallone and his team controlled the amount of sleep the children received.
【小题2】         During another week, every child was kept awake later than normal. Each night, the youngest boys and girls had less than eight hours of sleep. The older ones were limited to six and a half hours. During the final week of the study, each child received no less than ten hours of sleep a night.
The teachers were not told about how much sleep the students received. The study found that students who received eight hours or less had the most difficult remembering old information. 【小题3】
The study did not find that sleep restriction caused hyperactivity(极度活跃) in the children. 【小题4】          .
Doctor Fallone said that the results provided experts and parents with a clear message:【小题5】
A.The sleeping time that the students have can be changed easily.
B.They also had trouble learning new information, completing difficult work and following directions.
C.During one week, the children went to bed and awoke at their usual time.
D.The teacher should restrict the amount of the sleep of the students.
E. Gahan Fallone did the study at the Brown Medical School and Bradley Hospital in the state of Rhode Island.
F. The teachers reported that students were, in fact, a little less active at school when they got less sleep.
G. When a child has learning problems, the issue of sleep must be considered among the possible causes.

1. I was walking down the road one day when my cell phone rang. A little girl’s voice on the other end        , “Dad, please come back soon. I miss you so much!”  Instinctively(本能地), I knew it was a(n)        number, so I rudely        , “You’ve  dialed  the  wrong  number!” and  then       .
During the following days, I got the same call       . But I didn’t care much about it. Then one day she constantly called me,        I didn’t answer. Finally I answered the phone and heard a torpid (有气无力的) voice,      “Dad, please come back. I miss you so much! Dad, I’m in so        pain! Mom said you were too busy to take      of me. But, dad, please       me again, OK?” The innocent         was difficult to reject. I made a loud kiss on the phone and heard the        voice say, “Thank you ... Dad, I am so ... happy, so ... happy ...”
Shortly after this, I became      about who had been on the other end of my phone. So I called back, and a woman answered, “Sorry, sir. I am really sorry to have        you. My daughter has suffered from bone cancer       she was born. And her father died in an      a short while ago. I       not tell her this news. Poor baby. When she couldn’t      with the painful chemotherapy (化疗), she would cry for her dad, who had always     her, so I gave her a random (任意的)         number...”
“How is your daughter now?” I couldn’t wait to ask.
“She has        . You must have kissed her on the phone, because she went with a smile, tightly holding the cell phone ...”
Tears filled my eyes. Little help may make big effect.

1. People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velve-the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained—and added three inches(英寸) to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.
Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylor moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult(成人)roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? (1966)
Taylor’ s fame(名声)and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra—the highest pay received by any star up to that time.
Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (传奇人物) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky, she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others —several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.
【小题1】The producers didn’t let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she _____.
A.did not show much interest.B.was too young.
C.did not play well enough.D.was small in size.
【小题2】What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both         .
A.popular all their lives
B.famous actresses
C.successful when very young
D.rich and kind-hearted
【小题3】Taylor became Best Actress at the age of         .
A.12B.28C.31D.34
【小题4】In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor devoted herself to            .
A.doing business and helping others
B.turning herself into a legend
C.collecting money for the poor
D.going about research and education work
2. The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments outside the jeweler’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present.
The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewelry and was a little worried aboutoverspending, because he was not very rich. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose.
At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. Half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura. The assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the ones she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied. Later James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married.
【小题1】The good title for this passage is “______”.
A.A Clever Assistant.B.Buying a Birthday Present
C.How to Choose a NecklaceD.A Brave Young Man
【小题2】The underlined word “overspending” in the passage means ______.
A.spending too much
B.spending too much time
C.spending more time than he planned
D.spending too much money
【小题3】James and Laura reached the shop at _______.
A.4:30B.5:30C.5:00D.6:00
3. How long has 3-D technology been around? Most of us might think of crowds of teenagers in a 1950’s movie house watching Bwana Devil in 3-D. But 3-D technology made its first appearance on the scene in 1838 with the first stereoscope(体视镜). And the first actual 3-D movie was a 1903 film called Le Ariveed’un Train.
Although it has such a long history, the technology has still remained based on one simple principle-----to make 3-D effects you must find a way to project two slightly different pictures to each eye. Modern 3-D technology works by rapidly flickering(闪动) two versions of the movie and projecting them onto each eye. The brain does the rest of the work, combining the two pictures together into one and giving the show the appearance of depth, the third dimension.
But does this exposure, especially long exposures, cause harm to the child’s developing brain and visual system? Unfortunately, long-term studies on new flicker digital 3-D technology and children aren’t yet available. We do not know if regular or daily 3-D viewing over years affects the developing visual system, although older 3-D methods basically do the same thing and are not considered harmful.
The question of possible harm in modern 3-D use in TV is really based on two facts: the amount of time children will now be watching 3-D TV each day and the sensitivity some children show in reaction to 3-D viewing. It is difficult to make actual lab studies of longer term 3-D viewing in children because of the possible harm of the experiment. Researchers will have to wait until 3-D TV technology is already in the marketplace for a number of years, then check heavy 3-D TV watchers and compare them with non-watchers.
With a 3-D television technology in the home, we will soon be able to answer the question of whether or not longer and more frequent periods of 3-D exposure cause more changes in the visual system. We may find that the bigger problem is the introduction of a new technology that leads to even more time spent on TV rather than playing outdoors.
【小题1】According to the text, 3-D technology ______
A.was refused by people when it first appeared.
B.will soon change the way we watch TV.
C.does no good to our visual system.
D.has a history of nearly 200 years.
【小题2】Paragraph 2 is mainly about________
A.how 3-D technology works.
B.why 3-D movies are popular
C.the history of 3-D technology.
D.the influence of 3-D technology.
【小题3】What’s the method suggested in paragraph 4?
A.To wait and seeB.To carry out lab studies
C.To stop making 3-D moviesD.To improve 3-D technology
【小题4】The author’s purpose in writing the text is to _______
A.ask children not to watch 3-D movies
B.discuss if 3-D viewing is harmful to children.
C.introduce the advantages of 3-D technology.
D.predict the development of 3-D technology.
