It' s a time when school, homework, active social lives and part-time jobs keep teenagers (少年 ) busy from early in the morning until late at night. They are likely to try to make up for a lack of sleep by "sleeping in" on the weekends. Unfortunately, this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse.
Most teenagers are not able to fall asleep until late at night. Since many teens aren't sleepy until around 11 p.m., but need to be at school by 7: 30 or 8: 00 a. m., they cannot get enough sleep. During puberty(青春期), the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time, and this causes teens to fall asleep later. Then, when it' s time to get up, a teen' s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones(荷爾蒙). This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning.
A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance, achievements and grades. A few years ago in an important study, test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina, Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average, when the morning school bell rang an hour later. Unfortunately, most schools are not set up to start later and fail to satisfy teen's sleep needs.
21. What effect does "sleeping in" on the weekends have on teenagers?
A. Improving their health.
B. Weakening their energy.
C. Disturbing their biological clock.
D. Making up for their hormone loss.
22. The study in Minnesota shows that starting morning school one hour later helps to________.
A. make teenagers grow faster
B. change teenagers' sleep needs
C. do more research on teenagers
D. improve students' achievements
23. The text helps us to know more about teenagers'
A. daytime activities
B. sleeping habits
C. mental problems
D. studying methods

We feel it is important to start reading to your child right from the start--the younger the better! With little ones (children from birth to 4 ) it is very important to read and reread books. Starting early makes the job of the listener (for you will be teaching your child how to listen) easier, as it helps to develop an early love of the written and spoken word.
We believe that you should read aloud to your child at least once every day. Set a special reading time during the day or evening when you can settle down and enjoy a book, without interruption. For most families, reading aloud at bedtime is a common practice.
We understand that it can be quite discouraging to read to a child who takes no interest. Take heart! Learning to listen takes experience. The more you read, the more your child will learn to sit for a story. Children have a natural development of responses(反應) to your reading. By the time your child reaches 6-7 months, s/he is attracted by the book in your hand, and would like to test it out by using it as a chew(咀嚼) toy. This is natural! By one year, your child is learning to listen and talk about the pages, often shouting out things s/he recognizes. Encourage this! And at the onset(起始) of walking, you have your biggest challenge yet. Your child is always on the go. You need to set your reading time for a time in the day when your child is preparing to settle down. This means bedtime. Remember, it is your right and. duty to teach your child about the power of, books. Of course, it doesn't happen overnight, but the returns are great!
28. Who does "the listener" in the first paragraph refer to?
A. The writer.
B. The child.
C. The parent.
D. The teacher.
29. The best time of the day to read stories to a child is
A. when the child is still active in the early evening
B. when the parents finish the day's housework
C. when the child has chew toy to play with
D. when the child is quiet and peaceful
30. Parents may find it most difficult to read to their child when s/he
A. is 6- 7 months old
B. is one year old
C. starts to walk
D. starts to talk

There are few people who draw up life goals. Most people want to take one step at a time, and are frightened when they to set life goals. 31.
They can't be more wrong. Life goals are only a road map. They record what you want to be at the end of your life. 32 Others may want to be known as great builders or great sportspeople. In fact, there is no end to what you may want to be.
However, the only way you can achieve your dream is by writing down your goal. Once you have done that, you need to break this goal into several small goals. While writing the small goals, you must provide for change. 33 If you want to achieve your goals, you should be prepared to change them from time to time. This makes your goals really up-to-date.
Also, there cannot be just one life goal. There are at least five subjects that you need to address. These are: education, career(職業), family, health and money.34 For example, there can no career goals unless they are backed by education goals. Similarly, there can be no family goals unless they are based on practical financial(金融的) goals.
None of these goals is taught in college. Yes, there are some families that try to train their kids to think wisely, and plan for their life. 35 They know what they want to get in life, They are also mentally prepared for most of the difficulties they expect to meet on the way.
A. These are happy families.
B. Good health helps you to realize your goals,
C. Nothing remains unchanged in this world.
D. Many people do not know how to set life goals.
E. to them, life is too big to be reduced to a few goals.
F. You will find that all these goals are related.
G. Some may want to be known as great scientists.

I became interested in writing at an early age. So when my fourth-grade teacher told me about a 36 writer's conference where students my age could 37 published writers, I decided to go.
