一、阅读理解
(2019·预测)Do you sleep well? If your answer is no, the following might help you.
Set a certain bedtime and rising time
A certain bedtime and rising time can help you build up your body clocks. Set a bedtime which is good and natural for you. Don't change your bedtime and rising time on weekends.
Avoid exciting activities just before sleeping
Exciting activities get your thoughts running. At the same time, if you make tomorrow's plan or read an exciting story before turning off the light, it doesn't give you enough time to relax before you try to sleep.
Keep the bedroom for sleeping only
It's a bad habit for you to use your bedroom as a place to eat, watch TV, read, talk on the phone, or discuss important matters with your family members. Break that habit to get better sleep.
Don't go to bed too early
Your body usually lets you sleep only the number of hours it needs. You should decide how many hours you must sleep in order not to experience daytime sleepiness.
Take a warm shower before your bedtime
A twentyminute warm shower at a temperature of about 45～50 not only is a great relax at a day's end, but also raises your body temperature by several degrees. The coming drop in temperature of your body will naturally make you feel sleepy.

I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra(额外的) help. Still, I suffered(遭受) the rest of my school days in public schools.
My life improved greatly when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually became good at making things with clay. Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.
I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn't a talent thing: it needed lots of practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.
Later I decided to learn how to read and write. I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two years, I was literate(有文化的)．

五、 Would you like to live in school? We had a survey about it and here's the result. Most students prefer to live in school because they find it convenient to communicate with their classmates. Also, they can learn how to look after themselves in this way.
However, some students think living at home is a better choice. The main reason is that they can relax better at home. Besides, they can spend more time with their family members and get on better with them.
As for me, I'd like to live in school. That's because I can spend more time on study. What's more, it's a wonderful experience to live with other classmates.
