【题目】 When your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder Why on earth does school have to start so early?

Fortunately, there is a new law to support—or better still, science.

A law in California, passed on Oct 13, requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 800 am and that high schools start no earlier than 830 am. The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022.

Starting school at 800 or 830 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change, but it could mean one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7:30 or even earlier.

"The effect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults," Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University, told The New York Times. He said that not having enough sleep can affect students' mental health and increase the risk of being overweight and diabetes (糖尿病).

In the short run, students' school performances should improve almost immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a researcher at the University of Minnesota's College of Education, found that students who have enough sleep are alert in class and get much more satisfying grades.

Some might say that asking students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter puberty (青春期),which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 1100 pm. So when school starts at 800 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.

This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, "Generations of children will come to appreciate this historic day and our governor for taking action."

1Which of the following is TRUE about the law?

A.The law has not been put into practice.

B.The law requires schools to start later than 830am.

C.The law will be passed by July 1, 2022.

D.The law is made by a university in California.

2What does the underlined word alert in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A.Friendly.B.Sharp.

C.Calm.D.Honest.

3For a better academic performance in the daytime, how long do teenagers probably need to sleep?

A.About 8 hours.B.About 9 hours.

C.At least 10 hours.D.At most 8. 5 hours.

4What's the main idea of the text?

A.Lack of sleep could lead to health problems.

B.The amount of sleep people need changes with age.

C.A new law lets students sleep longer.

D.Sleeping problems are leading problems for teenagers.

【题目】How to Plan a Holiday Trip

Each year, millions of people load up the family car and set out on a holiday trip. Whether it's to grandma's house, a family reunion or simply a holiday getaway, these yearly road trips can often be the source of tiredness and stress. The thought of being trapped in the car with restless children or the possibility of car trouble along the way is enough to make anyone consider staying home.1

Plan out the route for your car trip. If you're planning on driving to your holiday destination, a little planning can help make your trip easy.2 Remember, it's likely that you won't be the only person on the road during the holidays, and traffic is always a factor. Alternate(可供选择的)routes or shortcuts can help reduce time spent in traffic jams and get you to your destination sooner.

3 Although traveling by air can be quick and convenient, it can also be much more expensive. Start planning your trip early to take advantage of advance purchase discounts. Many airlines become extremely busy during the holidays so booking in advance can also help ensure that you get the flights that you want.

Consider your luggage needs. Before you begin packing, think about how many people will be in your car and how much room they will need to travel comfortably. This could affect the number of bags that you can take along.4 Not only is the possibility of lost luggage a problem, but most airlines now charge extra for checked baggage. For a family of four, carrying a few bags each could result in several hundred dollars worth of baggage fees during your trip.5

A.As an alternative to driving or flying, check into the possibility of traveling by train.

B. Plan your trip to avoid peak travel times.

C. Luckily, with a little planning, these situations can be avoided.

D. Book airline tickets in advance.

E. Try to pack as lightly as possible.

F. For traveling by air, the number of bags that you take is a much bigger concern.

G. Consider your starting point and desired destination, and investigate several possible routes.

Last summer I go to Hangzhou with two Americans. I became their guide. First, we went to the West Lake, that is a famous place of interest in Hangzhou. We looked around it by the boat. After that, we went shop. The sellers couldn’t speak English. Though it was very harder, I tried my best to listen their words carefully and translate the sentences.

All of us had a greatly time that day.
