This is a true story in Guyana. One day, a child took some silver paper from a cigarette box. He rolled it into a tiny ball and pushed it up his nose. He couldn’t get it out again. He ran crying to his mother. His mother couldn’t get the paper out, either. A week later the paper was still in his nose. His nose began to have a bad smell.
So his mother took his child to the hospital. The doctor looked up his nose. She put a tiny steel rod(钢棒) into his nose and felt the paper. She said she would have to cut his nose to get the paper out.
The child’s mother came home looking sad. She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut. He was a handsome boy and the cut would make him ugly.
Next day, the child’s mother took him to her friend Sidney. Sidney lived in a house with an old woman called May. She asked to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose. He closed his eyes.
“Yes, I can see it,” May said. “It will be out soon!”
As she spoke, she shook black pepper on the child’s nose. He gave a mighty(有力的)sneeze and the paper flew out. His mother was surprised. May told her to take the boy to the sea for a swim. She said the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell.

We now only sleep for six hours and 41 minutes each night and half of us have no chance of a weekend lie-in, a new study shows. And it seems even during the week, we are struggling to get enough shut-eye.
It is said that two-thirds of us are sleeping for only six hours and 27 minutes every night, one hour and 33 minutes shorter than the normal daily amount (总额) of sleep — eight hours. More than 27 percent are getting less sleep than they did a year ago. Instead of a weekend lie-in, most people will choose 11 minutes of extra snooze button (睡眠键) time, which could be bad for health. 68 percent now use their mobile phone to wake them up every morning. Four out of ten adults say they set their wake-up call earlier than needed, then hit the snooze button on their mobile phones twice for an 11 minutes’ rest, in order to make their bodies feel like they have had more sleep.
Professor Stevie Williams said, “Setting your alarm clock much earlier and continually
pressing the snooze button actually makes you feel even weaker after a night’s sleep. Napping in this way can make you miss out on the important REM sleep, which happens just before you wake up. And it is necessary for you to use the weekend to catch up on the sleep debt during the week.”
A third of adults are kept awake at night because of money worries, a quarter can’t fall asleep due to family problems, and just under one-fifth worry about work stresses. Being short of sleep is extremely harmful to a person’s heath and well-being. But we have to stop treating sleep as a luxury (奢侈品), and realize that it is necessary to get eight hours of sleep every night.
44. What can we know about REM sleep?
A. We should avoid it before we wake up each day.
B. It happens before we wake up and is good for our health.
C. It’s useless to enjoy this stage of sleep before we wake up.
D. It can do harm to our health as it makes us wake up earlier.
45. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A. To show what keeps us awake.
B. To tell us why we need to treat sleep seriously.
C. To give us some tips on how to get a sound sleep.
D. To offer some evidence that sleep is a kind of luxury.
46. The author writes the passage in order to tell us that we should .
A. avoid working late into the night
B. get enough sleep and know its importance
C. try to keep a balance between family and work
D. replace the unhealthy lifestyle with a healthy one
47. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. What an eight-hour sleep means
B. Why people need to sleep every day
C. How to get a sound sleep
D. Enough sleep is very important\

Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together:
piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.
When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding (婚礼) and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address (地址) Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda.
Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share (分享) happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but J still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”
Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

China is going to make a new education policy (政策). Students’ volunteer (志愿)work will be considered when their performances are evaluated (评估). The policy is to help students develop a spirit of selflessness (无私) by doing more volunteer and social work.
In the past, most Chinese schools evaluated their students through exam results. When the policy is put into practice, volunteer work will play an important part in school life. According to the policy, good volunteer work records will also help students to get scholarships (奖学金).
班级 姓名 考号
The Ministry of Education asked schools to do something to teach students about volunteer work. These things include providing teaching information about volunteer work, setting up scholarships for volunteer services and encouraging students to take part in social activities during holidays.
Because of the big differences between Chinese schools, the schools are also asked to make their own evaluation rules as soon as possible so that they can evaluate their students in the most proper way.
The Beijing government believes that the new policy could greatly increase the number of volunteers in social activities.
In the past years, volunteers have always played a big part in many important activities in China.
It’s believed that there will be more and more volunteers in China in the future.
