    　　Remember how great exercise was when you were a little kid?Back then, racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours, you weren't thinking fitness, you were thinking entertainment．But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships, the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten, Rediscovering it will give you a total-body exercise you can find．

    　　Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons．First, most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular(心血管的)exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult．In other words, they don't think they'll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical outcome．Second, many view it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive not as something fun or enjoyable．

    　　As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practice it．Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again, people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps．A single bounce, a double-bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping．

    　　Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning．It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres to perform in parallel to each other．In short, jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life．

    　　Going to sleep may seem pretty boring compared with all the fun things there are to do while you're awake．But there's a lot going on in your mind and body while you're tucked under those covers．

    　　Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival as eating and drinking．Sleep improves your mood, makes you a better athlete, and helps you remember and understand what you learned during the day．During sleep your temperature drops．Your heart rate slows．Down goes the pressure of the blood moving through your veins．A chemical that controls growth(called a hormone)surges into your bloodstream．Scientists think sleep restores energy and improves your immune(免疫)system．We know what happens while we're asleep because scientists study volunteers who sleep in laboratories．The sleepers are hooked up to machines that measure brain waves, eye movements and muscle activities．

    　　Sleep is like a school day：it's divided into different periods, or stages．When you're awake, your brain waves fire rapidly．As you begin to relax and drift into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces slower-moving waves and you lose awareness of your surroundings．As you slide to deeper sleep, your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life．Then, as you begin to drift back up to a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert(机警), and your dreams begin．You're in REM sleep．

    　　REM was names far the“rapid eye movement' that happens while you're dreaming．During REM sleep, your eyes move back and forth behind your timed lids, as though you were washing a movie．During other stages, you might move at that in bed, but during REM sleep you're still．That's probably because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams．As you get closer to morning, you spend more time in REM than in deep sleep, so you dream more．Researchers know that during REM sleep the part of the brain that handles learning and thinking is very active．

    　　Getting too little sleep can affect your personality．Experts recommend that children get at least nine hours d sleep a night．So sleep fight．

    阅读理解

    　　Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors(流星), but also because of rays from the sun and other stars．The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on the earth．Light gets through, and this is necessary for plants to make the food which we eat．Heat, too, makes our environment suitable to live．Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off．As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage．

    　　Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space．The unit of radiation is called “rem”．Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem

    　　without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on．The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed(畸形的)children or even grandchildren．Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems．So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short．We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory．Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far．

    (1)

    According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is necessary to man because of the following reason EXCEPT________

    [　　]

    A．

    protecting him against the harmful rays from space

    B．

    providing sufficient light for plant growth

    C．

    suppling the heat necessary for human survival

    D．

    screening off the falling meteors

    (2)

    We learn from the passage that ________

    [　　]

    A．

    exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal

    B．

    the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming

    C．

    radiation is avoidable in space exploration

    D．

    astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage

    (3)

    The harm radiation that has been done to the Apollo crew members ________

    [　　]

    A．

    is insignificant

    B．

    is enormous

    C．

    seems overestimated

    D．

    remains unknown

    (4)

    It can be inferred from the passage that________

    [　　]

    A．

    the Apollo mission was very successful

    B．

    the protection from space radiation is no easy job

    C．

    astronauts may possibly have deformed children or grandchildren

    D．

    radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers

    (5)

    Which of the following is TRUE?

    [　　]

    A．

    Space is dangerous only because of meteors．

    B．

    Explorers in space have to avoid the damage from radiation

    C．

    We have got effective ways to treat illnesses caused by radiation．

    D．

    The atmosphere doesn’t screen off radiation

    　　Few of us make money by losing sleep．But three graduate students at Brown University in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation(睡眠不足)．

    　　Jason Donahue, Ben Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Brown’s business and engineering schools．They began thinking about ways to sleep better．They discovered they weren’t alone in burning the midnight oil．Around 20％ of Americans get less than six hours of rest a night．

    　　The friends imagined a smart alarm clock that could track how much time people spend in the most restorative(有回复作用的)stages of the sleep cycle：REM(rapid eye movement)and deep sleep．What would it cost to design such a thing? Five years of research, 20 employees, ＄14 million and a whole lot of doubting from investors and scientists．

    　　Their company, Zeo, based in Newton, Mass, launched its product in June, 2009．The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors(传感器)that scan your brain for signs of four sleep states －REM, light, deep and waking sleep．The smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as you’re not in REM sleep(which is when you’re least groggy)．In the morning you can upload the data to the company’s Web site, and so track your sleep over time．Most of the feedback comes in the form of Zeo’s ZQ score showing how well you’ve slept．

    　　“Zeo allows people to unlock this black box of sleep,” says Dave Dickinson, a health-care CEO．

    　　Whether any of this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer, who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 pm．

    　　For now the company is selling Zeo online only．Dickinson also plans to spread it to countries such as Australia, where sleep deprivation approaches US levels．

    (1)

    Who will support Zeo?

    [　　]

    A．

    People full of imagination．

    B．

    People suffering sleeping problems．

    C．

    People having access to the Internet．

    D．

    [　　]

    A．

    To wake them up on time in the morning．

    B．

    To earn enough money for their study．

    C．

    To improve the quality of people’s sleep．

    D．

    To enjoy their life while working at night．

    [　　]

    A．

    spent much time and money

    B．

    were widely supported by scientists

    C．

    worked by themselves all the time

    D．

    attracted many investors

    (4)

    What can we know from the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Zeo has a direct effect on users’ lifestyles．
