Early risers are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise, according to the old saying. But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have advantages, researchers say. They have found that night owls(夜猫子) are generally brighter and wealthier than those who are able to get up early in the morning.
Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late showed the kind of intelligence to find good jobs and earn much money. Larks or “morning people”, however, often get better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls.
The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the young people to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their best state in the morning. School performance and problem solving ability, were judged and test grades in the major subjects were also taken into consideration.
Jim Horne, professor of psychophysiology at Loughborough University, said: “Evening types tend(倾向) to be the more creative types, the poets, artists and inventors, while the morning types are considered to be civil servants and accountants(会计). ”
25 The researchers from the University of Madrid found _______.
A. morning people will probably find good jobs and earn a lot
B. morning people show higher intelligence from an early age
C. night owls may earn more money than morning people
D. night owls might be healthier than morning people
10
26. Early risers often do well in exams possibly because_______.
A. they go to bed by 10p.m. regularly B. they make full preparations before exam
C. lessons are held at the right time for them D. they have longer time to prepare for their lessons
27. The research may include questions about the following EXCEPT_______.
A. favorite sports B. grades in main subjects
C. living habits and body clocks D. school performance
28. In Jim Horne’ opinion, Larks may choose to be _______ in the future.
A. inventors B. artists C. poets D. civil servants

What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even from hundreds years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. So we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world, we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays, our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time, it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair ? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
32. The passage mainly tells us that .
A. Man's life will be different in the future
B. Future man will look quite different from us
C. Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D. Man's organs' functions will change
33. The change in man's size of the forehead is probably because .
A. he makes use of only 20% of the brain's capacity
10
B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries
C. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on
D. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time
34. Future man will probably _____.
A. see better B. have larger eyes C. have smaller eyes D. have to wear better glasses
35. The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _____ .
A. is always so B. never stops changing
C. hopes for a change D. will live a different life

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In the USA, conversation is less lively than in many other cultures, where everyone talks at the same time. When someone talks, everyone is expected to listen, no matter how dull the person’s speaking may be.
36 .We’re defined by our jobs and we’re usually happy to talk about them, unless you’re a spy!
Americans talk about their feelings more than Asians, but are more secretive about factual matters. You can safely ask questions about families. We’re interested in people’s ethnic background too. 37 .
A highly personal conversation can take place after a very short period of knowing someone, but this doesn’t mean that you’re close friends. Many Americans will talk about safe topics because they don’t dare to be too curious or personal, but will happily talk about more private matters if you take the lead.
38 ,and we avoid topics which lead to disagreement. There are a couple of dangerous topics of conversation: age and money. Age is not treated as something very special, unless someone is very old: “Isn’t she wonderful for her age!” and there are no special rules or signs of extra respect for elderly people. 39 !
Income is a very private matter, and you’d do well to avoid asking how much people earn, although some people may not only be open about it, but show off their wealth. 40 .
But what we don’t like is silence, and almost anything is better than the embarrassment of a quiet party and silent guests.
10
A. But it’s best to avoid politics, religion and other sensitive topics
B. Generally we dislike arguments
C. If you’re not sure what to talk about, you can ask what people do
D. You should accept compliments graciously and say “Thank you!”
E. We don’t ask how much things cost, either
F. In fact, it’s a sign that they don’t wish to violate your private life
G. Anyway, Americans always want to look younger than they really are, so don’t expect an accurate reply

Family time is one of the most important times in a child’s life. My family and I 41 a lot of time together, including every 42 .

I did a little research on the “family table” 48 . Statistics(统计) show that only 50% of 49 sit down to dinner together each night. That’s a 50 , because researchers 51 that kids who have these regular family dinners have 52 behavior, grades, and a larger vocabulary.

Now with many single -parent families or homes 56 both parents work, making time together has become harder. There have been many recent studies showing kids are “ 57 ” than they used to be. I think it’s primarily parents’ 58 . Only good things 59 taking 15 minutes away from television and five minutes from video games to have this time with your family. By spending 20 minutes with 60 , I believe this idea of “wild kids” would decrease greatly.

Dear teacher,
This is my first term at Senior High school. Our school is gorgeous and our teachers are very enthusiastic and friendly and the classrooms are amazing.
I’m writing this letter mainly to tell you I’m addicted to smoking. But my parents don’t allow me to smoke though they are both smokers. And my school friends don’t like me smoking when I’m with them. They dislike the smell of smoking. Our school doesn’t let students smoke.
I know smoking is bad for health. But I can’t give up smoking.
Best wishes! I’m looking forward to your early reply. Thanks a lot!
Yours truly,
A teenage smoker
