17.For every woman who feels like she's had to scale back her personal ambitions since becoming a mother,gold medal cyclist Kristin Armstrong has a message:Don't give up on your dreams.
She retired after winning gold in Beijing to start a family; son Lucas arrived in 2010,but then she decided to compete again in the London Olympics.She won a gold medal at last.
The decision to start training again wasn't easy."I struggled with that a lot,"she told a newspaper."At the beginning I felt selfish,I felt like,‘Well,I'm not supposed to be thinking of myself anymore.It's all supposed to be for my kid.'"
She faced physical challenges of getting back into competition shape after giving birth,as well.When she started racing in the spring of 2011,she was still breast-feeding; she would nurse her son,then race,then breast-feed again after the race.Her days revolved around Lucas and training.
"I feel like I'm able to do what I love to do and still manage a family and have that balance,"Armstrong said."That you have a family or a child doesn't mean that you have to stop going after what you dream of individually."
Armstrong makes balance look easy,whether it's on her bike or as an athlete-mom.But she points out that you can't have it all without making some sacrifices.For example,don't expect a neat home-her husband,Joe Savola,who she describes as her support system and her"protector",says he's had to give up on trying to keep everything orderly at home and just accept that their living room has become Lucas's playroom.For Armstrong,she's sacrificed time with friends who had kids around the same age-there just wasn't time.
Now,she says,"That sounds like fun to me."As she heads home to Boise,Idaho,she's ready to do regular mom stuff.

12.After Kristin Armstrong retired,sheC.
A.lived an easy life
B.moved to a new house
C.still had a great interest in cycling
D.spent much time with her kid
13.It was difficult for Armstrong to make the decision to participate in the London Olympics because sheB.
A.was too old to train racing
B.had to give her family much consideration
C.faced big physical challenges
D.could not get support from her family
14.In most days of 2011,Armstrong could be described asC.
A.a housewife and a new mom
B.an athlete and a career woman
C.a parent and a sportswoman
D.a wife and a good mother
15.We can know from the passage that itD for Armstrong to keep a balance between her family and dream.
A.was quite easy   B.made her feel tired   C.surprised herself   D.was a hard job.

2.A policeman was questioning 3 blondes who were training to become detectives.To test their skills in recognizing a suspect,he shows the first blonde a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it.
"This is your suspect,how would you recognize him?"
The first blonde answers,"That's easy.We'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!"
The policean says,"Well…Uh…that's because the picture shows his profile."Slightly  confused  by  this  ridiculous response,he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the
second blonde and asks her,"This is your suspect,how would you recognize him?"
The second blonde giggles,flips her hair and says,"Ha!He'd be too easy to catch because heonly has one ear!"
The policeman angrily responds,"What's the matter with you two?Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his profile!!Is that the best answer you can come up with?"
Extremel frustrated at this point,he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks"This is your suspect,how would you recognize him?"He quickly adds,"Think hard
before giving me a stupid answer."
The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says,"Hmmmm…the suspect wears contact lenses(隐形眼镜)."
The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the
suspect  wears contacts or not."Well,that's an interesting answer…wait here for a few minutes
while I check his file and I'll get back to you on that."He  leaves the room and goes to his office,checks the suspect's file in his computer,and comes back with a beaming smile on his face.
"Wow!I can't believe it…it's TRUE!The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses.Good
work!How were you able to make such an acute observation?"
"That's easy,"the blonde replied."He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear."

24.Why did the policeman show a picture to the three blondes?D

9.阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题.
Sleeplessness in Seattle?Hardly.West Virginia is where people are really staying awake,according to the first government study to monitor state-by-state differences in sleeplessness.West Virginians'lack of sleep was about double the national rate,perhaps a side effect of health problems such as obesity(肥胖),experts said.
Nearly I in 5 West Virginians said they did not get a single good night's sleep in the previous month.The national average was about 1 in l 0,according to a federal health survey.Tennessee,Kentucky and Oklahoma also were notably above average with nearly 1 in 7 people reporting in a lack of sleep.In contrast,North Dakota was below average,with only 1 in 1 3 reporting that degree of sleeplessness.Health officials do not know the exact reasons for the differences.
In.the survey,people weren't required to answer the question why they were not able to get enough rest or sleep.But experts noted several possible explanations:West Virginia ranks at or near the bottom of the nation in several important measurements of health,including obesity,smoking,heart disease and the proportion of adults with disabilities.
Studies have increasingly found that sleeping problems often occurred among people with certain health problems,including obesity."You would expect to see poorer sleep within a chronically(慢慢地) diseased population",noted Dr Ronald Chervin,a sleep disorders expert in University of Michigan.
Financial stress and work shifts(倒班)can play roles in sleeplessness,too,Chervin added.He suggested those may be contributing factors in West Virginia,an economically depressed state with tens of thousands of people working in coal mining.
The report was based on results of an annual telephone survey of more than 400,000 Americans,including at least 3,900 in each state.The survey did not include people who use only cellphones.
56.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?(No more than 15 words.)
West Virginians suffer from lack of sleep the most perhaps due to health problems.
57.What does the underlined word"notably"in Paragraph 2 mean?(No more than 3 words.)Highly
58.What was the possible reason for the high rate of sleeplessness in West Virginia according to Paragraph 3?(No more than 12 words.)West Virginia had a low level of several important measurements of health.
59.List three factors that contribute to sleeplessness based on the passage.(No more than 8 words.)
(1)being too fat(2)financial stress(3)work shifts
60.How was the research carried out?(No more than 10 words.)By interviewing over 400,000 Americans on the telephone..
