Tears came into this mother’s eyes when she talked about waking up her son. Every morning, her ten-year-old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging for one more minute to sleep.

Why is he so sleepy? Because, lik e thousands of student “early birds” in China, he has to get up before 6 a.m. every morning.

School students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep a night. But in Shanghai, it’s reported that 90% of the students do not get enough sleep. And studies show t hat without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many become near-sighted as a result.

Li Ming, a student at Qinghua High School, said that he usually goes to bed after 11 p.m. But when he has exams coming up, he can stay u p as late as midnight. This “night bird” lifestyle has made many students nod off in class. Li Ming said that it is during afternoon classes that he feel most sleepy. “My parents are usually happy to see me studying so late,” he said. “They think I work ve ry hard and they make me cups of coffee.”

However, not all parents are happy about this. “My daughter gets up so early. She looks tired and it really hurts me.” said one of the parents. Why don’t so many students get enough sleep? Now many members of society began to think about it.

A. Because her son’s lack of sleep hurt her but she had to wake him up.

B. Because her son wasn’t good at lessons.

C. Because she thought her son was too lazy.

D. Because her son was badly ill.

67. Which is NOT the result of lack of sleep?

A. T he body’s weakness.

B. Nodding off in class.

C. Near-sighted eyes.

D. Poor academic developments.

68. How does Li Ming’s mother feel to see him studying late?

A. Sorry.

B. Worried.

C. Not unhappy.

D. Angry.

69. Which one is True according to the passage?

A. All the parents hope their children stay up.

Reading is the key to success in all school subjects. With a bit of creativity, you can help your child enjoy reading more, and encourage him to do more!

Buy or borrow a lot of “fun” books. Choose books that are slightly below his level of reading ability. Don’t forget what your child likes to do when choosing books for him. Don’t comment about the books. Simply leave the books lying on the table where your child is sure to see them. Computer games are not as harmful as most parents usually think them to be. Instead, you should take advantage of your child’s love of computer games to purchase those that require a lot of reading and avoid those that are simply computerized video games.

Buy your child a bedside reading lamp, or a tiny book light. Tell him that from now on, he must be in bed by a specific time (say 8:30) and that he can either sleep or read. Most kids will do anything else rather than go to sleep, so there’s a chance you’ll create a new bedtim e reading habit.

Many children will read when they are sitting alone having a snack, or when they have a few minutes of unplanned free time. Put a box of books and magazines near the kitchen table so that reading material is accessible.

Often, once children learn to read independently, parents stop reading to them. This change of routine causes great sadness to a child who has come to love falling asleep as you read. Even a teenager will enjoy being read to if you pick books that interest him. Select books together, and make sure they’re ones you enjoy as well, so your enjoyment will come through as you read to them.

73. In order to make children become interested in reading, what should parents do?

A. Tell them what they can learn from these books.

B. Choose books based on their interest.

C. Choose the easiest books for them to read.

D. Always read books together with them.

74. Which of the following is NOT what parents are advised to do?

A. Reduce children’s sleeping time.

B. Read to children when possible.

C. Have reading material available.

D. Pick the right computer games.

75. What attitude do most parents hold towards children playing computer games?

A. Supportive.

B. Negative.

C. Neutral.

D. Doubtful.

76. What’s the main purpose of the passage?

A. To help children succeed in school subjects.

B. To give parents advice on how to educate children.

C. To remind parents of the importance of reading.

D. To teach parents how to encourage children to read.

D

Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. “Yes, honey. Of course.” she said.

“Can we write him a letter?”

She pause d, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, “Yes.”

My heart jumped. “How? Does the mailman go there?” I asked.

“No, but I have an idea.” Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.

“Just wait, honey. You’ll see.” Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.

She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped (缠绕) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.

“Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three.”

The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.

Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he’d persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary. I prayed to be a balloon.

77. What does the underlined sentence imply?

A. When the girl asked if they could write to her father, her mother felt it hard to answer.

B. When the girl asked if they could write to her father, her mother thought her a creative girl.

C. When the girl asked if they could write to her father, her mother believed it easy to do so.

D. When the girl asked if they could write to her father, her mother found it easy to lie.

78. When the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father, she _________.

A. jumped with surprise

B. became excited

C. didn’t know how to write

D. was worried that it couldn’t be delivered

79. In the eyes of the author, what was the rain like?

A. An incurable disease.

B. An unforgettable memory.

C. The hard time her father had.

D. The failures her father experienced.

Getting married can be one of the happiest moments in a person’s life. Throughout the world, weddings are very important events. Let’s look at some interesting wedding customs from different countries.

For African Americans, it is tradition for the married couple to jump over a broom covered with flowers. This represents the beginning of family life. It is interesting to note that African slaves who were brought to the USA started this tradition. African American couples were not allowed to have a legal marriage, so instead they had a ceremony where the bride and groom jumped over a broom “into marriage”.

Making jokes about the bride and groom is a wedding tradition in both France and Germany. In France, this includes making loud noises with pots; in Germany, wedding guests break dishes. Weddings in Germany often last for three days. On Thursday, there is a simple ceremony at a government office noting the official marriage of the couple. Then the couple will have a dinner with family and close friends. On Friday, there is a party. This is when guests break dishes to represent the start of a new life. Then on Sunday, there is a ceremony in a church.

In Greece and Italy, people eat special kinds of sweets at the wedding. Both Greece and Italy also have their own special wedding dances, which all of the guests enjoy.

In Russia, couples tie a doll to their wedding car if they want to have a daughter, or a toy bear if they want to have a son.

In England, it is tradition for the little girls to throw flowers on the ground on the way to the wedding ceremony. The bride and groom walk on these flowers. This represents the hope that the couples will follow the path that leads to a happy life.

Topic ·Getting married can be 81. __________ than any other moment in a person’s life.

书面表达(25’*1)

Some of us Senior Two students have held a discussion about whether it is necessary to take part in the coming “Campus Culture & Art Festival” in December.

The majority are in favor of the activity where they can relieve some study pressure from their parents, teachers and themselves. Not only can the festival make the school life colorful, but in it they can know more about each other. At the same time, some students can develop more interest and improve their abilities. What’s more, some can display themselves and earn respect.

However, a small part of them hold a different view. Firstly, they think that it will take them a lot of time to rehearse, which lasts nearly a whole month and affects their academic study. And the festival will cost them money. Secondly, some are too devoted to activities to concentrate on studies. Last but not least, some even dress and behave strangely, which is obviously against the school rules.

Personally, I think it is good to participate in the festival. I can always enjoy myself and get relaxed in activities. But we should try to, with less money, attract more students to join in the festival.
