It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr.Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena.” The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”, In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.

A. most commentators agree with Dr.Johnson
B. Dr.Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C. the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D. English conversations usually start with the weather
2.What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?
A. An emotional state
B. An unknown phenomenon.

3.According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that________.
A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
C. the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D. there is nothing special about the English weather
4.What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To convince people that the English weather is changeable.
B. To analyze misconceptions about the English weather.
C. To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.
D. To explain what English weather-speak is about.

If Confucius(孔子) were alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But that doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
1.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _______.
A. attract the readers’ interest in the subject
B. provide some key facts about Confucius
C. show great respect for the ancient thinker
D. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
2.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students _______.
A. take an active part in Chinese competitions
B. try to get high scores in Chinese exams
C. fight for a chance to learn Chinese
D. have a great passion in studying Chinese
3.What is the best title for this passage?
A. Forgotten Wisdom in America.
B. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language.
C. Old Thinker with a Big Future.
D. Chinese Culture for Westerners.
4.The passage is likely to appear in ______.
A.a biography B. a history paper
C. a newspaper D. a philosophy textbook

Some researchers, parents and teachers have suggested that high-school classes begin later in the morning to accommodate (适应) teens’ needs for more sleep. 1. However, in the meantime you’ll have to make your own adjustments. Here are some suggestions that may help you to sleep better.
Set a regular bedtime. Going to bed at the same time each night signals to your body that it’s time to sleep. 2. So try to stick as closely as you can to your sleep schedule, even on weekends.
Exercise regularly. 3. Finish exercising at least 3 hours before bedtime. Many sleep experts believe that exercising in late afternoon may actually help a person sleep.
Avoid stimulants (刺激物). Don’t drink beverages with caffeine, such as soda and coffee, after 4 pm. 4. And drinking alcohol in the evening can make a person restless and interrupt sleep.
Relax your mind. Avoid violent, scary or action movies or television shows right before bed. Reading books with active plots may also keep you from falling or staying asleep.
Create the right sleeping environment. 5. So close your curtains (and make sure they’re heavy enough to block out light) and turn down the thermostat (恒温器). Noise can prevent people from sleeping well. Use a white-noise machine if you need to block out a noisy environment.
A. Waking up at the same time every day also helps establish sleep patterns.
B. People usually sleep best in a dark cool room.
C. Light signals to the brain that it’s time to wake up.
