Most of us spend a third of our lives sleeping. Scientists have been studying the brain to learn what happens while we sleep. Scientists tell us that there are four stages(阶段)of sleep. During each stage our brain behaves differently, and so does our body. Each stage is marked by changes in the pattern of brain waves, which can be recorded by machines.

In the first stage, we drift off to sleep. Our muscles(肌肉)begin to relax. Our heartbeat and breathing slow down. Body temperature and blood pressure(压力)begin to drop. Stage—two sleep is a time of small, fast brain waves. Our eyes move quickly from side to side as if watching a movie. This is known as rapid eye movement, or REM sleep. During REM sleep, dreaming takes place. In stage three the brain wave becomes slower again.

Within about 45 minutes after falling sleep, we progress into the fourth stage – deep sleep. As this happens, our brain sends out slower but larger brain waves. This is the most restful kind of sleep, but it is also the time when sleepers are most likely to change positions or sleepwalk. After deep sleep we return to stage two. As the hours pass, we repeat the sleep cycle four or five times. Then we wake up.

1.How many stages of sleep do we repeat several times during a night?

A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.

2.When does a person most likely change his positions?

A.When first falling asleep. B.During stage three.

C.During REM sleep. D.During deep sleep.

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.We can dream in all the stages of sleep, especially during REM sleep.

B.It is impossible to record the pattern of our brain waves with machines.

C.Our body, like our brain, behaves differently during each stage of sleep.

D.It takes about 45 minutes to complete the sleep cycle after we fall asleep.

When you're in school, the last thing you want to do is to work on weekends. There's homework to do, sports to play, fun to have. But our parents may persuade(劝说) us to find a job to earn money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager, I had to deliver the newspapers to people's homes. Then I got a Saturday job at a supermarket: putting everything in order on the shelves and working as a shopkeeper.

Today in the UK you can work from the age of 13 and many children have part-time jobs. It is almost seen as an adult ceremony. It's an independent experience. Teenagers agreed that it taught them valuable lessons about working and managing money with adults. So that's not a bad thing!

Some research suggests that not working on Saturdays or holidays may be harmful to one's later life. But recent statistics(数据统计)show 20%of the students have given up having part-time jobs in the past three years.

So does this mean British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts believe young people feel that going out to work hinders(阻碍) their performance in school, they are now under more pressure(压力) to study hard, get good grades and have a good job in the long run. However, proper part-time jobs are a great way to help young people learn the skills they need in the workplace. In fact, the key is to keep a balance between taking a part-time job and having enough time to study and rest.

Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. A 13-year-old girl named Rachel works in a shop on Saturday. She told the BBC: I like my job because I'm making money and it helps me to talk to people confidently and work with others closely. It seems like a valuable thing to do on a Saturday morning.

1.When I was a teenager, I ___________at first.

A.had too much homework to do B.played sports with my good friends

3.What makes some students give up part-time jobs ?

A.They are now more afraid of hard work.

There is half a glass of water on the table. Is the glass half empty or half full? This question can represent a situation where there is both opportunity( 机 会 ) and trouble, but people with different point of views see the same situation in different ways. Ask yourself this question and see what kind of person you are.

If your answer is “half empty”, it shows that you tend to look on the dark side of things. You are a negative—thinking person. You are worried about what you don’t have or what you have lost more than what you already or still have. In other words, you are a pessimist(悲观主义者).

If you see the glass as half full, you tend to look on the bright side of things. You are a positive—thinking person. You know you should take the opportunity that comes your way rather than worry about getting into trouble. This is to say, you are an optimist.

We don’t live in a perfect world, but if we can change the way we see things, the things we see will change.

1.What’s on the table?

____________________________________________________________

2.According to the article, which two sides does a thing usually have?

____________________________________________________________

3.Do you think you are an optimist? Why or why not?
