“Tom? Are you in bed yet?” called Mrs. White. There was no answer. Mrs. White put down her book and went to her 14-year-old son’s room. Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a motorbike was running fast.
“Oh, Tom. You’re still playing on that computer game. You must stop now, because it’s half past eleven. If you don’t go to bed soon, you’ll be very tired tomorrow.” Said Mrs. White.
“But I’ve nearly won the game.” Tom said to Mrs. White. She could see the excitement on his face. She sat beside him.
“You’re always playing on the computer. You spend more time on this machine than on your homework.”
Today more and more families have computers. Parents hope computers can help their children improve their study at school. But many of their children use computers to play games, listen to songs and watch videos instead of studying. We often see that computer net bars are crowded with people, especially young boys. They spend a lot of money competing(競(jìng)爭(zhēng)) with the computerized(用計(jì)算機(jī)控制的) machines. The more they lose, the more they want to win. The result is that they don’t’ want to work or study.
In some countries, even scientists hate computers. They say computers cause millions of people to lose their jobs or cause them a lot of trouble. Computer game addiction(癮) is a serious problem in social life. Something should have to be done to solve the problem.

Saying no starts small
“All right then — just one more piece...” Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.
It isn’t just girls. Most of us find it hard to say “no” to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.
Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people’s lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.
In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow (圓形軟糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.
Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.
But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理學(xué)) professor (教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles(肌肉). Even a little practice can strengthen(加強(qiáng)) our overall self-control if we do it regularly.
You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.
Like muscles, willpower can “get tired”. Don’t try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don’t have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢復(fù)) your willpower with a good night’s sleep and by eating well.
【小題1】The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to

A.prove that girls have weak willpower
B.introduce the topic of willpower to the readers
C.show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girls
D.show the connection between willpower and success
【小題2】What can we infer from the experiment?
A.The scientists had already known the results before the experiment.
B.It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.
C.The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives.
D.The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower.
【小題3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?
A.You should have a goal every day.
B.Good rest and proper diet can help.
C.Willpower needs to be exercised regularly.
D.Keep willpower from being used too much.
【小題4】What is the article mainly about?
A.How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained.
B.How willpower affects people’s lives and how it is similar to muscles.
C.How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger.
D.How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other

(1)I was only an 11-year-old girl when my parents told me that we would soon move to America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear(忍受)the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again which I listened to every morning.
In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I even felt a little excited because I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.
The first four years in America taught me the importance of optimism(樂(lè)觀), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools and I (2)________most of my time(2)_________learning the English language.I hardly had any time for fun. Sometimes I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried(再婚), and things became even harder for me. It took me some time to get used to my stepfather(繼父). I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
I had to do many things for the family since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated(翻譯)all kinds of information and took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there.
Luckily, things got better and better later and almost all common troubles went away at last  From those experiences I have learned one important rule: Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!

March 16th is World Sleep Day. This year’s slogan (標(biāo)語(yǔ)) is “Breathe Easily, Sleep Well”. Its aim is to celebrate the benefits (好處) of good and healthy sleep.
Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.
But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night.
These sleeping problems greatly affect people’s lives. Experts have shown that lack of sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, the lack of sleep may make them depressed (沮喪的).
Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold.
【小題1】If Li Hong is 15 years old, how much sleep does she need every night?

A.10-12 hours.B.8-9 hours.

【小題3】The underlined word “insomnia” means “_______” in Chinese.
A.健忘癥B.肥胖癥

【小題4】 Which is NOT a reason why so many students don’t get enough sleep?
A.They cannot pay attention in class.
B.They have too much homework to do.
C.They have to get up very early to go to school.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺點(diǎn)). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.                   
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to(不注意) the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a quite clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
【小題1】 What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?

A.Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
B.She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C.I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D.Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
【小題2】 Why did her father listen to her quietly?
A.Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
B.Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C.Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D.Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
【小題3】 The writer felt________ when she did the things as her father had told her.
A.surprised B.a(chǎn)ngry
C.disappointed(失望的) D.sad
【小題4】 Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A.Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
B.The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C.My Father
D.My Childhood

Sometimes people are not clear about what kind of food is healthy, and what kind of food may do harm to our health. The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat (like fish and chicken), dairy (like milk and cheese),grains (like bread and rice), fruit and vegetables. The last group is fats and sweets. The USDA also suggests how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful for people all over the world.
As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of the way they eat, they have a high rate of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and heart disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However, when Japanese people move to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan, the rate of heart disease and cancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries, in which the disease rate is going up along with the change of the way people eat. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food.
Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat in the same way as their parents. When parents eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop good eating habits. Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit, vegetables and juice.
Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects us in different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people from many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause diseases. We can change our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living.
【小題1】What is the USDA in the passage?

A.A group of doctors in the US.
B.An office of the US government.
C.A report on diseases in the US.
D.An order given by the US President.
【小題2】What does the underlined word “result” mean in Chinese?
A.結(jié)果B.論文C.儀器D.程序
【小題3】The second paragraph mainly tells us that __________.
A.Japanese are always healthier than Americans
B.living in the US is not good for people’s health
C.if you eat too much fat you will have cancer
D.the way we eat may cause some health problems
【小題4】The greatest help the passage gives us is __________.
A.to introduce a food guide to the world
B.to suggest a way of eating for a healthy life
C.to find the main cause of some serious diseases
D.to provide us with knowledge of six food groups
