This week was busier than usual, and I was very tired today. All I wanted to do was to go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup.
But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things; Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I. But today I had to give up our evening. I said how tired I was feeling. “Bryan, I’m sorry. Tonight I don’t feel like having fun or playing games. We’ll have our night together some other time.” I saw the sadness in Bryan’s eyes. He said, “I like soup, Grandma.” I knew he meant “Please don’t send me away. Please let me stay.” I saw the shadow (阴影) in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come any more — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. I was glad to see his eyes light up. After I put the soup on the stove (炉子) and turned on the TV, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored (烦躁的)! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said. “Haven’t we had a nice time together?” His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword — together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together.

RIDING in school buses in the early morning，then sitting in poorly lit classrooms，are the main reasons students have trouble getting to sleep at night，according to new research．
Teenagers，like everyone else，need bright light in the morning to allow their circadian rhythms(生理节奏)to get into step with nature's cycles of day and night．
If they don't get blue 1ight in the morning，they get to sleep an average of six minutes later at night，until their bodies are completely out of sync(同步) with the school day，researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York said last month．
The finding was made by fitting goggles(护目镜)that block blue light from the sun to a group of students．The researchers discovered that their circadian rhythms were greatly affected．
Parents and teachers have been complaining in recent years that teens stay up too late at night，then fall asleep in class the next morning and do poorly in school．The new findings provide a possible explanation for the problem．
At the root of the research is the circadian rhythm, the body's natural sleep and waking cycle．Even though the Earth makes a full rotation(旋转)in 24 hours，the body's circadian cycle is about 24 hours and six minutes 1ong．The cycle is mediated(调节)by a chemical called melatonin(褪黑激素)．The body starts to produce it about two hours before it is time to sleep and, in the absence of blue 1ight，the body produces about six minutes later each day.
In the study, the researchers studied 11 students at Smith Middle School in New York, which was designed so that a lot of sunlight reaches classrooms．
On a Friday night，the researchers measured what time the 11 students’ bodies began releasing melatonin．On Monday morning，the students were sent to school with orange goggles that blocked most blue light from their eyes to mimic(模拟) the conditions found in many---if not most--schools．
By the end of the week，the students were releasing melatonin 30 minutes 1ater in the evening---an average of six minutes a day--and going to sleep correspondingly(相应的) later．
“This is our first field study，”said lead author Mariana G．Figueiro．He said they would like to repeat it in larger studies and for longer periods of time。
If the findings are repeated，a variety of solutions are available．Ideally, new schools would be built to allow more natural sunlight into the classrooms．Students could also be exposed to more sunlight outside．
68. According to the findings related in this article, many teenagers stay up late because_______
A. they lack melatonin in their bodies
B. they have to get up so early to catch the school bus
C. their circadian rhythms are in disorder
D. they do not get enough blue light in the morning
69. According to the findings, a student who normally slept at 10:00 pm, but who spent 10 days in a poorly lit classroom, would probably be falling asleep at___________after the period.
A. 12:00pm B. 11:30pm C. 11:00pm D. 10:00pm
70. What does the article tell us?
A. Unlike adults, teenagers tend to feel sleepy during daytime.
B. The sunlight is the only thing that can affect our circadian rhythms.
C. If the findings prove correct, solutions could be found to teen sleeping problems.
D. Most schools have small windows and the classrooms are poorly lit.
71. The main point of the article is to___________
A. warn teenagers not to stay up late or sleep in class
B. report on some new findings related to teenagers' sleeping problems
C. give suggestions on how to build schools
D. advertise goggles which can protect the eyes from the sun

As we all know, language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.
There are several major(主要) language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.
【小题1】The early language had ________.
| A．a lot of problems |
| B．words and easy grammar |
| C．words but no grammar |
| D．grammar but not many words |
| A．stay exactly the same |
| B．change a great deal |
| C．change only a little |
| D．ask more words and drop some grammar |
| A．languages change fast |
| B．languages really don't want to change |
| C．language really with changes in society |
| D．Spanish and English change |

I don't think there is anything wrong with your blood. The key to your problem is that long nap（打盹,小睡）after dinner. If you didn't sleep for hours during the early part of the evening, you would be more ready to sleep at bedtime. If you didn't nap after dinner, you would not want to stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill. The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the morning. This helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day. You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, engage in some sort of physical activity - a sport such as bowling, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get a good nights rest without taking a pill.
If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way, I am sure you will feel less tired during the day. At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy. If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself a few hours'sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill.
