    Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.
    Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say if a person wants to be successful he has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
    Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks(手艺). They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
    Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rain in summer may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.

    SPACE is a lonely place. Hundreds of thousands of kilometers from home, astronauts have a hard life. It stands to reason that, once in a while, they need to have a good cry. But this is a lot harder than it sounds.
    We still know very little about space, and about living in zero gravity. In fact, we are discovering new things every time astronauts take to the skies (and beyond). As The Atlantic reported in January, crying is not all that simple in space. This is because when a person normally cries,  gravity makes their tears move downwards. But in a spacecraft, this is not the case. Here, there is no gravity, which is why we so often see pictures of astronauts floating around. This means that, strangely, when you cry your tears have nowhere to go. As a result, they just stick to your eyes.
    In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this. “Tears,” as he said, “don’t fall off your eye… they just kind of stay there. ” This can be quite painful. In space, your eyes get very dry, and the added moisture is irritating (气人的). Sometimes, things get even weirder(更怪异的). The astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic that when tears get big enough, they “break free of the eye and float around”.
    No one can be quite sure why we cry. Why should water in our eyes have anything to do with feeling sad? If you stop to think about it, crying is a very strange thing indeed. And now, thanks to the wonders of space, it just got even stranger.
    小题1:The first paragraph mainly wants to tell us that       .
    A．living in space is lonely
    B．it’s easy to feel sad in space
    C．it’s hard to cry in space
    D．nobody wants to live in space
    小题2:If astronauts cry in spacecraft, their tears will       .
    A．move downwardsB．move upwards
    C．go out of the windowD．stick to their eyes
    小题3:Astronauts feel       if tears are always in their eyes.
    A．sadB．comfortableC．happyD．uncomfortable
    小题4:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．In space our eyes are very wet.
    B．Tears will float around if they are big enough in space.
    C．People know everything about living in zero gravity.
    D．Gravity makes people’s tears move upwards in space.

    Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. However, many Chinese do not sleep well, and many do not pay enough attention to sleep.
    The Chinese Medical Doctor Association released the 2013 China Sleep Quality Index (指数) on March 19 to mark World Sleep Day – March 21.
    According to the index, nearly a quarter of Chinese people don’t sleep well. Half said that they feel tired after getting up and 15 percent people have trouble falling asleep.
    Ye Jingying, a sleep expert at Beijing Tongren Hospital, says: “If people often wake up during the night, or always feel weak and tired in the day, they should pay attention to their sleep pattern (模式).”
    Many people play with their cell phones or iPads before sleeping. The report said that this is one of the main reasons for bad sleep. Other reasons include stress and bad moods.
    How to sleep well? Above all, get enough sleep. Seven to nine hours of sleep every night is perfect for an adult, and eight to nine hours is best for a teenager.
    Forming good sleep habits is important. The report suggested that people need to keep away from digital devices (数码产品) for at least an hour before sleep. The lights keep their brains excited for a long while. Other suggestions include: try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays, and do the same relaxing things before bed each night, like listening to soft music.
    小题1:From Paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT true?
    A．The longer you sleep, the better.
    B．Many Chinese people don’t sleep well.
    C．Many Chinese people don’t care about sleep.
    D．Sleep is very important for our body and brain.
    小题2:Which of the following means that you sleep well?
    A．You feel tired after getting up.
    B．You can fall asleep within 20 minutes.
    C．You wake up several times during the night.
    D．You often do something boring until you feel sleepy.
    小题3:From the article, which of the following may NOT cause sleeping problems?
    A．Reading a book late at night.
    B．Having sad or angry feelings.
    C．Playing with digital devices before sleeping.
    D．Being under strong stress about their life or work.
    小题4:Which of the following helps teenagers sleep well?
    A．They should do different things before sleeping.
    B．They should sleep for more than nine hours a day.
    C．They should not use any digital devices during the daytime.
    D．They’d better go to sleep and get up at the same time every day.
