On a monthly or yearly visit to a doctor's, the doctor may ask a few questions about diet, exercise, drinking and smoking problems. One thing the doctor probably won't ask is "how do you sleep?" If we're serious about preventing possible diseases, that will be a serious miss. Poor sleep may lead to obesity, diabetes, mood disorders and heart disease. Put simply, poor sleep can shorten your life. How can the problem be fixed?
Perhaps the most possible reason is not having enough research into women's sleep. Women usually report poorer sleep quality and more easily to wake up than men. This may lead to depression(抑郁症)and other diseases. However, the reason for men and women's differences in sleep behaviour is still unknown.
Then there are teenagers. Their hormonal turmoil(荷尔蒙混乱)is said to have some effects on their ability to sleep well, but there is no clear evidence(证据)to prove that.
Older adults have a problem with sleeping pills. On one hand, they find it hard to fall asleep without pills; on the other hand, taking them often makes sleep problems worse. Using sleeping pills does not seem to improve sleep health.
With the development of modern medicine, doctors have the chance to give different therapy plans to different cases. And, unlike being advised to eat five pills a day or drink less than 21 ml a week, being advised how to get the right number of hours' sleep a night is something we really need.
55. When you go to a doctor's, he or she may not ask you the questions about .
A. sleep B. diet C. drinking and smoking D. exercise
56. Which of the following is NOT caused by poor sleep?
A. Obesity. B. Diabetes. C. Mood disorders. D. Blindness.
13
57. Which of the following statement is the writer sure about?
A. Doctors should advise their patients to have the right number of sleep hours.
B. We have known the reason for men and women's differences in sleep
C. Old people can improve their sleep by taking sleeping pills.
D. Teenagers cannot sleep well only because of their hormonal turmoil.
C
Donald Trump took office as the 45th president of the United States on Jan 20. Soon after that, he began using his power to make changes to the country by signing president's orders. Some of them are quite controversial(有争议).
Travel ban(禁令)
This order stops all refugees(难民)from entering the US for 120 years. It also stops anyone arriving from seven mainly Muslim(穆斯林)countries for 90 days. "This (order) is about keeping our country safe," Trump said on his Twitter account.
However, judges in the US said that the ban was against the Constitution(宪法),because it looked down on Muslims. Leaders in the UK, Germany and France also didn't agree with the order.
Wall building
When Trump was running for president, he said he would build a wall along the southern boundary. He believes it will stop Mexican(墨西哥)people from moving to the US. On Jan 25, Trump signed an order to start the project. "Mexico will pay for the wall!" He said on Twitter.
But Mexico said it would not pay for it. In fact, since 2008, more Mexicans have left the US rather than entered it, according to Pew Research.
Quitting(退出)the TPP
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP,跨太平洋伙伴关系协定)is a free trade agreement between 12 countries around the Pacific. In 2008, former US President Barack Obama signed the agreement to join it, hoping to make trade easier among the 12 countries.
But Trump decided to leave it. He wants to do trade deals with one country at a time, instead of in a big group like the TPP, reported The Independent.
58. According to Trump himself, he signed the travel ban in order to .
13
A. work out the refugee(难民)problems B. stop Asian people from entering the US
C. keep his country safe D. fight against Muslims
59. When did Trump sign the order to start building the wall between the US and Mexico?
A. On Jan 20. B. On Jan 23. C. On Jan 25. D. On Jan 10.
60. Who will pay for the wall?
A. Mexico. B. The United States.
C. Countries joining the TPP. D. We don't know yet.
61. Trump decided to leave the TPP, because .
A. he prefers to do trade deals with one country at a time rather than with a group
B. he didn't want to make trade deals with Australia and Japan
C. he thought the TPP group was not big enough
D. he didn't like the former US President

Team spirit means the willingness of people to work together and help each other in a team.
With this spirit, people try hard to make their team the best of all. Everyone has experienced team
spirit one way or another, whether they were part of a team or saw a group of people cheer for their favourite player.
There are different kinds of team spirit. One kind is the connection between a team of people because their efforts and cooperation(合作)are necessary in reaching a common goal. Another kind is when a group of people support a person or a team. Another is people's natural love for their country, when a whole nation cheer for its country in competitions. Team spirit can also be seen in the workplace or in some activities
Team spirit creates many good effects. It creates trust and friendship between people. There may also be bad effects. Too great team spirit may cause arguments or fights with other team members.
Some people don't understand team spirit properly. They think team spirit means having to become an official member of an organization, a team or a fan club. In fact, team spirit can be built anywhere-between friends, coworkers or even between two people sitting next to each other. You don't have to be wearing the team spirit clothes. Anyone can show team spirit just by showing
13
support for the goal.
78. What is team spirit?
79. Where can team spirit be built?
80. Do you think team spirit is important? Why or why not?

Dear Tommy.
I am very glad to receive your letter. Our winter vacation/holiday will start in a week. We
usually have 3 weeks off. During the vacation, we spend most of the time doing our homework. Butit is also a good chance for us to relax ourselves. I like going to the city library to read interestingbooks. Books help me open my mind. I can also spend the Spring Festival with my family. I canwear new clothes and get red packets.
I am not very good at my lessons, so my parents will ask me to go to a winter school to have
some extra lessons, I doubt whether the lessons are usefu but I have no choice but to take them
In fact, I want to go travelling most. The world is so big that I want to see it more.
That's all for my winter vacation. What about yours?
I look forward to hearing from you soon。
Yours faithfully
Samuel
