Hey kids! Sleep is important! You might have heard this before. Scientists found out that sleep helps you grow strong and keeps you from getting sick. And guess what? A new study shows sleep also works on your grades.

The scientist, Jeffrey Grossman, wanted to see how sleep helps students in school. He asked 100 students to wear a special wristband (腕带) called Fitbit. This cool thing can tell how long you sleep and if you wake up a lot during the night. The students wore these wristbands all term long, and at the end, Grossman looked at their sleep information.

He found some interesting things. As expected, kids who tossed and turned a lot at night didn’t do well on their tests. The same went for those who didn’t get enough sleep. ▲  Whether you sleep more or less during the night before the test does nothing to your grades! So is staying up studying before the big test okay? No!!! What really mattered was sleeping the same hours every night for a week or even a month before the test. “That means a student who sleeps seven hours at night, every night, will do better than a student who sleeps 7.5 hours one night and 6.5 another night,” Grossman said. This was really unexpected!

How long you sleep, how well you sleep, and sleeping the same hours every night together made a big difference to your test scores. And it appeared especially important for boys. Grossman’s team is not sure why. But boys who didn’t sleep well or fell asleep at different times did worse on tests than girls who had the same sleep. These findings show that sleep is really important for students to study well in school. And knowing how to get good sleep can make a big difference!

13．According to the passage, Fitbit can ________.

A．help you fall asleep easilyB．fix your sleeping problem

C．tell how well you sleepD．make you sleep longer

14．What BIG question does paragraph 2 answer?

A．How long should we sleep?B．How did Grossman do the study?

C．Why is sleep so important?D．What did Grossman find?

15．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?

A．And here’s a big surprise.B．And we know little about those.

C．Sleeping well comes first.D．So make sure you get enough sleep.

16．According to the study, which line chart (线型图) may be from the student with the best grade?

17．What would the writer write about after the last paragraph?

A．The result of the study.B．The way to get better sleep.

C．The importance of sleep.D．The difference between boys and girls.

C篇

Many people think it’s important and good for health to wash the food before cooking it. But for some food like eggs, washing can do more harm (坏处) than good.

People like to wash the shell (壳) before they cook the egg. They want to make sure the egg is clean and there are no germs (细菌) on it. But they don’t need to do this, because factories (工厂) will do the cleaning work when they sell the eggs.

There is a coating on the shell of the egg. With the coating, germs can not get into the egg easily. When factories do the cleaning work, they wash away the coating and put a kind of special thing on the egg shell. It is there to keep germs from coming into the egg.

“Of course there are germs on the egg, but by washing it, you make it worse (更糟糕的). The egg shell is porous (可渗透的). The water can get germs into the egg when you wash it,” says health scientist Amy Leigh Mercree. “And this can happen more easily when you use cold water or running water.”

“So don’t wash eggs—save yourself some time and keep the germs where they are,” Mercree says.

18．According to (根据) the text, washing eggs before cooking them is ________.

A．hardB．healthyC．badD．important

19．What do factories do with eggs?

A．They use a special thing to keep germs from coming into the egg.

B．They wash eggs with a special kind of water.

C．They spend a lot of time washing eggs.

D．They get all the germs out of the eggs.

20．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The egg shell.B．The egg.

C．A special kind of thing.D．The coating.

21．What will happen when people wash eggs with cold water?

A．The egg shells will break easily.

B．The water will go into the eggs.

C．Germs will go into the eggs easily.

D．There won’t be germs on the egg shells.

22．What does the text want to tell us?

A．How to cook eggs well.

B．Why we should buy eggs from factories.

C．How to get germs away from eggs.

D．Why we don’t need to wash eggs before cooking them.

Physical exercise is good for our body and mind.

I also love being a “little     43     (poem)”. I would use simple     44     (express) to share my feelings. Sometimes I read my poems to my classmates, and     45     return, they tell me their favourite lines. This makes me want to write more.

These hobbies allow me     46     (try) new things. Programming trains my logic, and poetry lets me express my heart. They are not easy in fact.     47    , they bring me so much joy. I’ll keep doing them and see how much I can improve!
