You may know about “ junk food” like French fries. But do you know about “junk sleep”?

Recently, a British survey found that electronic products in teenagers bedrooms are affecting(影响)their sleep.

The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16. It found that 30 percent of them got just 4 to 7 hours sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.

“This is very worrying.” Said Dr Chris Idzikowski, a British expert, “We call it ‘junk sleep’, It means you don’t get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep is bad, too. If you don’t get good rest, yo u don’t perform well in school the next day.”

Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.

It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.

Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying; it will stay safely on the skateboard.

V olvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.

Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them. Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second to keep the people inside safe.

11. The passage mainly tells us .

A. two important ways to keep safe in cars

B. how air bags work to make cars safe

C. how seat belts work to make cars safe

D. why we must tie the egg to the skateboard

12. The writer gives the example of the egg to _.

A. tell us that eggs are easy to break

B. show how to wear a seat belt

C. show why it's important to wear a seat belt in a car

D. tell us what a skateboard is

13. Seat belts can make us safer because .

A. we are interested in them

B. they can stop us from hitting other cars

C. they can help us stay safely on the seats

D. they are made of strong materials

14. Air bags are important for cars because _.

A. they are made of plastic

B. they can also help us to keep safe in a car

C. they can keep cars running slowly

D. they are put in front of and next to the seats

15. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?

A. It won't be dangerous if there are seat belts or air bags in a car.

B. Now most of new cars still have only one air bag.

C. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out a few minutes later.

D. V olvo was the first to use seat belts.

When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?

In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.

Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.

Maybe you have heard of the lucky ra bbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”

People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck!

21. ______ is mentioned in the oldest good luck tradition.

A. A rabbit’s foot

B. A falling leaf

C. A cheerful wish from friends

D. A shooting star

22. From Paragraph 3, we know that ______.

A. shooting stars can often be seen

B. people can see a shooting star on a rainy night

C. your wish may come true if you see a shooting star

D. people believe that it’s unlucky to see a shooting star

23. British people try to catch 12 falling leaves because ______.

A. the leaves fall in autumn

B. there are so many leaves to catch

C. the leaves can bring them a lucky month

D. they want to have a whole year of good luck

24. In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “them”refers to ______.

A. trees

B. people

C. leaves

D. years

25. The passage is mainly about ______.

Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree（有分歧） on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other.

B Every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don't worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people. Many earthquakes happened in China, such as the big one in Sichuan in 2008. Thousands of people died in it. So it's important to know what to do when one hits. Here are some tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake. 1. If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you. 2. If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you. 3. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don't try to run outside and rush for exits (出口). Everyone will be doing that and you'll find it hard getting out. Don't get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide under some strong cover near you. 4. When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it's safe to get up. 5. If you are at home and you smell gas (煤气), open the windows and get out of the building as quickly as you can. A gas line in your house may be broken. This could be very dangerous. 51. Most earthquakes are too _______ to hurt people. A. strong B. weak C. dangerous 52. If you are outdoors, it would be safe to _______.

C Raising pets is a popular online game among teenagers. “More than 20 of my classmates have adopted(领养) pets online.” Said Wang Hui from Beijing. If you go to some websites, you can adopt virtual(虚拟的) pets like penguins(企鹅), chickens, dogs and elephants. You can feed, wash, talk to and play with your pet. Dai Yingshuang of Shanghai said, “It’s great fun and I have also learned how to take care of others.” She usually asks her uncle to take care of her pet while she is at school. If you don’t feed and care for the pet, it will become unhappy and unhealthy. So raising an online pet means spending a lot of time online. This makes many parents worried. They fear it will have a bad influence on the children’s studies. Wang Zha otong from Anhui has raised a pengu in since last year. She said, “My parents know about the penguin and think it’s okay.” If the students can kee p the balance between studying and playing, it’s not bad for them to “raise” pets online. 56．Over ______ students in Wang Hui’s class have adopted pets online.
