14.Why is it so difficult to fall asleep when you are overtired?There is no one answer that applies to every individual.But many people fail to note the difference between fatigue,physical tiredness and sleepiness,the inability to stay awake.It's possible to feel"tired"physically and still be unable to fall asleep,because while your body may be exhausted,you don't feel sleepy.To fall asleep,you need enough time to relax,even if you feel fatigued.It's not so easy to simply"turn off".According to Carl E.Hunt,director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research in Bethesda,Maryland,most people do not allow themselves relaxed.
Lack of sleep complicates matters even more.Experts say adults need at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night to function properly.When you get less sleep than that on consecutive (连续) nights,you begin to be burdened by"sleep debt".As sleep debt increases (and functionality decreases),your body experiences a stress response and begins to release adrenaline (肾上腺素).Now a bad cycle has been created:You experience the feeling of being more and more tired,but your body is increasingly stimulated."Power sleeping"for more hours on weekends is only a temporary solution."There is no substitute for getting a good night's sleep on a regular basis,"says Hunt.
Most of us,however,don't get the sleep we need.According to the 2002 National Sleep Foundation,Americans sleep an average of 6.9 hours per night during the week,and 58 percent of adults experience sleeplessness a few nights a week or more.

33.The writer intends to tell usD.
A.Americans don't get enough sleep
B.what benefits we can get from enough sleep   
C.lack of sleep has a bad effect on our body  
D.why it's difficult for overtired people to fall asleep  
34.Which of the following is NOT caused by lack of sleep?C
A.Power sleeping.                        
B.Sleep debt.
C.Lack of adrenaline.                    
D.Function badly.
35.From the passage we can draw a conclusion that lack of sleepD.
A.is so common that it isn't worth paying attention to
B.doesn't matter for it can be solved by"Power sleeping
C.can make it easy to fall asleep when one is overtired
D.may make it difficult to fall asleep when one is overtired.

12.Every evening,15-year-old Rashida returns home from school,changes out of her uniform,and rushes to a neighboring farm to help her mother harvest vegetables.Her father is disabled,so the modest profit the two of them earn must cover food,clothing and other necessities for all seven children and their parents.Despite having precious little time to study,Rashida is one of the top students at her junior secondary school.But with so much responsibility on her small shoulders,she admits that it is sometimes hard for her to imagine a more promising future.
Last year,Rashida was invited to join 155 other girls at Camfed Ghana's first Girls'Career Camp,a program designed to inspire girls growing up in the country's Northern Region to dream big,and to support them to pursue those dreams."We organized this camp because we wanted to let girls know that even if they are struggling with poverty,their lives will not be defined by limitations,"says Dolores Dickson,Camfed Ghana's Executive Director.
Over the course of five days,the camp led the junior and secondary school students through a range of experiences and career opportunities that were entirely new to them.Dr.Agnes Apusiga,a lecturer from the University of Development Studies,ran the workshop on goal-setting and career choices,describing the universities and training colleges in Ghana that could help them achieve their dreams.Participants then visited the University for Development Studies,where they toured the medical school and science labs.Another highlight was a workshop at the computer lab at Tamale Secondary School.Many of the girls had studied information technology from a book but had never before seen a computer.
"When the girls arrived at camp,they were not ambitious,because they didn't have any idea what the world held for them,"says Eugenia Ayagiba,Project Officer with Camfed Ghana."Many had scarcely traveled beyond their own villages."
"I t hink the most important thing that happened at the camp is th at we opened a window of hope for a group of girls coming from backgrounds of poverty,"says Eugenia.For Rashida,who has been laughed at in the past by her schoolmates because of her father's disability,the experience was important."She told one of the camp mentors(辅导员) that when she is at school,she often feels like a misfit,and she prefers to keep to herself,"says Eugenia."But at the camp,it was different.She made friends with girls who have similar struggles.She took part in every single activity,every single game.On the last day,she said to her mentor,‘The camp has challenged me to study hard.Now I see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.'
24.How many are there in Rashida's family?C
A.Seven        B.Eight          C.Nine              D.Ten
25.Why did the camp lead the students to visit universities and training colleges?B
A.To show they are better than their schools
B.To encourage them to get good education.
C.To show them what they are like
D.To get them to touch the advanced equipment there
26.What can we infer from the passage?D
A.Rashida has become friends with her mentors
B.Rashida's mentors has encouraged her a lot.
C.Rashida was sad because of her father's disability.
D.Rashida has had her new dream since the camp
27.The best title of the passage isB.
A.Poor Girls in Ghana                            
B.Girls'Career Camp
C.Camfed Ghana
