The siesta competition took place in a supermarket, with plenty of shoppers,
screaming babies, talking voices, and footsteps to take the competitors’ attention away
from their after lunch sleeps.
Five bright blue sofas were laid out, and five competitors at a time were allowed to
take a 20-minute sleep. A doctor measured their pulse to time how long they actually
spent on asleep. Competitors earned extra points for snoring (打鼾),sleeping in strange
positions, or wearing silly pajamas (睡衣).The winners of each round advance to the
next stage in the competition.
It’s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of such a busy
place, while on couches that they are not used to. Yet, many of them did. They hugged
pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes with sleep masks, too. Whatever it
took to help them fall asleep fast and stay asleep.
The siesta is a tradition in Spain that many feel is becoming forgotten. It used to be
that people would take a brief nap after lunch every day. This would energize them, and
keep them going for the rest of the day. Not to mention the health benefits of a good
nap. But, that’s all changing. People are too busy making money or watching gossip
shows on TV after lunch to care about taking a nap.
The National Association of Friends of the Siesta wants to bring Spain back to their
traditional roots. They are doing this by having the siesta competition. They set up the
competition to reward the best sleepers with money. Actually, they were paid to sleep.
There are really health benefits to a midday nap. We could all learn from this
tradition. It’s a much better way to get more energy than drinking a cup of coffee. It is
also believed that a nap, and in fact a good night’s sleep, can help reduce heart disease.
The more rested we are, the less stress we feel with day-to-day life.
24.The underlined word “ siesta ” here probably means“ _____ ”
A.oversleep B.night sleep
C.a short sleep after supper D.a short sleep after lunch
25.In what situation did the competition take place?
A.In a noisy place. B.In a quiet place.
C.In a comfortable place. D.In a familiar place.
26.When the competitors went to sleep, they could ____.
A.have their own beds B.use nothing to cover their eyes
C.have doctors to help them D.use something to help them sleep
27.The competition is held because the Association wants to _____.
A.know if people still know the traditional habit
B.call on people to have their traditional habit
C.do some research on how people sleep
D.give people money in this way
C
Looking at Rosa Ferrigno's new suit, you could swear it was knitted(织) with
regular yarn(毛线).It’s only when you touch it and hear the characteristic rustling(沙沙
声 )of plastic that you realize there's something special about it.In fact, the suit is made
out of over 300 plastic grocery bags.
Ferrigno, who once worked as a tailor before starting a family, got the idea for her
unique hand-made suit last August.She was at a family picnic and saw on of the other
guests carrying a purse made from re-purposed plastic bags.It attracted her, so she and
her daughter searched for instructions on how to make one on You Tube.The 75
-year-old ended up making a purse from colorful plastic bags.But that was only the
beginning.After finishing her second plastic bag purse, Ferrigno realized she needed
something to match it with, so last November she told her daughter she was going to
make a skirt and jacket suit out of plastic bags, as a winter project.
Rosa started by cutting up the plastic bags into strips(A.)and then tying them
together to make longer, yarn- like strips that could be knitted.But to knit the plastic
yarn, she needed that didn't exist on the market so she made them on her own.
The suit took Rosa two months to complete.The jacket was made out of 170 plastic
bags, and the skirt required another 140.Although she didn’t even use a pattern when
knitting the impressive suit, it ended up fitting her perfectly, and when she finally
showed it off at the supermarket earlier this month, everyone went crazy.
“We love it when our customers reuse or recycle grocery bags, but never have we
seen a work of art like Rosa's! It's really fantastic "Jo Natale, the supermarket chains
vice president of media relations, said.
28.What makes Rosa Ferrigno,s new suit special?
A.Its unique way of knitting. B.Its unusual knitting material.
C.Its being knitted by an old lady. D.Its being able to sing when touched
29.How did Rosa learn to make purses out of plastic bags?
A.By modelling a guest. B.By consulting her daughter.
C.By watching You Tube videos. D.By asking a tailor for instructions.
30.What do Jo Natale's words in the last paragraph suggest?
A.She thinks highly of Rosa’s behavior.
B.Rosa's work of art will become popular.
C.The potential of grocery bags needs further developing.
D.She thinks all customers should follow Rosa’s footsteps.
31.What can be inferred about Rosa from the text?
A.She is quite able and patient.
B.She is good at matching clothes.
C.She does nothing without careful planning.
D.She likes showing off her knitting
D
“What are you?” they ask. “Guess,” I say. Some suggest I have Japanese eyes.
Others think I’m Filipino, maybe Indian. Few guess the truth: I am Mexican American.
But it’s not like I’ve ever worn that name alone. I’m part of a younger generation of
Americans whose identity is shaped neither by where we came from nor where we
ended up.
My parents know the California immigrant experience first-hand. They grew up
picking fruit in the San Joaquin Valley, knowing what it was to be poor, but also
knowing what it was to be Mexican. Wanting a better life for their children, they went
to college and got professional jobs. By the time I was born, they were fully accepted
into the middle class. I grew up in the racially mixed zones of Sacramento, and when
my parents talked of their years in the fields it was hard to connect those stories to
where we found ourselves now.
By the time I reached my teens, difference had announced itself. We were all
struggling for a sense of individuality, looking everywhere but where we came from.
Identity became goods. Wearing certain clothes and liking certain kinds of music
created social categories.
I became a junkman, sorting through the ruins of pop culture past looking for the
pieces of myself. In love with the Beatles, I linked myself to England. Fascinated by
Japanese cartoon, I took language classes at the local Buddhist temple.
I grew up American to a fault, rarely considering my own people’s culture and
humanity. I left Sacramento and moved to San Francisco’s Mission District to put
myself together again. There I first saw my people living in a separate community that
had its own language, one I’d never learned. My brown face led people to ask me for
directions in Spanish. I could only respond with a universally understood shrug.
“This is what I am,” I said to myself, looking at a street full of newly arrived
immigrants. No, that wasn’t quite it. I corrected myself: “This is where I come from.”
Is it tragic that I grew up far from my mother culture, discovering it so late in life? I
prefer to think that my American upbringing has taught me to apply insights from many
different cultures to my everyday life. I am a product not just of Mexico or the U.S. but
of the world as a whole.
32.Where does the writer grow up?
A.In Sacramento. B.In a Mexico town.
C.In the San Joaquin Valley. D.In San Francisco’s Mission District.
33.What did the writer learn from his American upbringing?
A.To promote mother culture. B.To adapt to new surroundings.
C.To clearly express individuality. D.To learn from different cultures.
34.You can infer from the article that the writer ________.
A.liked to play sports B.wanted to learn Spanish
C.was interested in different cultures D.did not like living in San Francisco
35.This article is mainly about ________.
A.the growing pains of immigrants B.the culture differences in America
C.the author’s exploration of his identity D.the problems of immigrants in America

lifestyle.39.Pick something that is meaningful and relevant to you and you ll set

mini-deadlines to keep you on track to reaching your big-picture goal.
A. Put a deadline on your goal.
B. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

do.

Hi, everybody,
On this special occasion, I feel much honored to represent the class to express our
sincere gratitude to Ms. King for her excellent work.
Thanks to Ms. King’s generous help as well as her great devotion and efforts,
we’ve become more interested and done better in our English, which will be of great
importance to our further study. Ms. King, here’s a pen container, a souvenir that we’ve
specially prepared for you. Hopefully you’ll like it. This pen container is made of
bamboo, which is evergreen and hollow inside so that in Chinese culture it’s a symbol
of being young and modest. What makes it special is that we’ve all signed on it, making
it a good reminder of the happy time we spent together. Now, I’d also like to wish you a
pleasant journey home and always young and happy!
Thank you very much!
