    After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
    There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
    Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs your eyeballs begin to move quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
    If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.
    小题1:A good title for this passage is _______.
    A．Sleep.B．Good HealthC．DreamsD．Work and Rest

    Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted by e-mail, the Internet and other things throughout the day? According to the survey made by a famous university in the USA, most people have the experience.
    "People often lose their concentration when they are bored, of course, but also when they are engaged in challenging tasks," says Peter Bregman, the head of the survey. "They sometimes have a feeling to escape from what's difficult or boring, so they jump out," he says. The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain's emotional center. Any strong emotion —quarrels with colleagues, problems at home —can interrupt our attention. Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.
    Refocusing is hard for many people. Robert Epstein suggests the following, "Stop and listen to some soft music for a few minutes. Find a good friend or a teacher and say out your matter on your mind. Go for a short walk or take a deep breath, where you breathe in deeply, count to five slowly, hold it and breathe out very slowly." This can "blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus."
    Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors. "Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness," Mr. Bregman says. "You have to inform yourself that you've lost focus in order to do something about it." Starting the day with a to-do list is also important, such as when to eat, when to go to the gym or take a walk. But if it's overly ambitious, you will put yourself in a state of anxiety, which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate. "Choosing three or four things as your priority for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus," he says.
    小题1:According to the passage, which is NOT the reason why some people can be distracted from their work?
    A．They don't want to be devoted to their work.
    B．They are disturbed by the Internet and other things.
    C．They can't find interest in their work.
    D．They feel their work is too hard for them.
    小题2:Which incident might NOT interrupt your attention?
    A．You were scolded by your teacher.
    B．You had words with your good friend.
    C．You went to school at six as usual.
    D．Your mother and father had a quarrel.
    小题3:What's the meaning of the underlined word "restore" in the passage?
    A．recoverB．reformC．releaseD．react
    小题4:According to Robert Epstein, how can we refocus on what we should do?
    A．Listen to rock music for some time.
    B．Turn to your good friends or teachers for help.
    C．Run around the playground for some time.
    D．Take a breath from time to time.

    Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment．
    Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water．Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．
    There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you can take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control．
    Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials．But the final goal should be “green gyms”．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all, it’s free．
    小题1:The author thinks the golf is resource-hungry because of the following EXCEPT that_____．
    A．Golf wastes large areas of countryside
    B．Golf runs out of much water
    C．Keeping golf court in good condition needs too much energy

    A．hiking in the hills
    B．swimming in the pool
    C．playing basketball in the gym

    小题3:The reason why the author uses power walking as an example mainly is because _________．
    A．it improves our healthB．it is an outdoor sport
    C．it uses fewer resources D．it is recommended by experts
    小题4:The purpose of the author’s writing this passage is to ______．

    Hidden in a small street in the south end of Springfield, not far from buildings torn apart by the tornado（龙卷风） earlier this year, Frigo’s is an Italian restaurant right in our own backyard.
    Frigo’s is not a tiny place. It provides different kinds of Italian food. There are refrigerator cases full of prepared foods and desserts, and shelves filled with olives and various pasta.
    There’s some traditional Italian music and the smell is of olive oil and garlic（大蒜）. Above the largest refrigerator case, there’s a chalk board covered with desriptions of more Italian sandwiches than I could remember.
    I stepped into Frigo’s almost by accident when I had to stay in Springfield into the evening for an open house at the school where I work. Frigo’s is the perfect place to find something quick to go. There are no tables, so all food is taken out. I also thought it would be a great place to pick up some already-prepared food to bring home for dinner.
    I ordered the easiest meal possible: a chicken sandwich and a salad. It cost＄4.75 for the sandwich. The salad was＄4.99 and didn’t have salad dressing on it. I must have missed the choice of salad dressing on the way out. The sandwich was great—great chicken, excellent tomato sauce and not too much cheese.
    I wish I had tried one of the many other sandwiches which include Joe’s Favorite (＄5.25-＄6.75) and the Dante (King) which is made of turkey breast, roasted red peppers, asiago cheese and choice of dressing.
    I have a feeling that I’ll be picking up dinner for me and the kids at Frigo’s soon.
    小题1: Who would be most likely to go to eat at Frigo’s?
    A．People who want to eat quietly in a nice restaurant.
    B．People who want to enjoy home-made food
    C．People who like traditional American food
    D．People who are fond of Italian food
    小题2: Which of the following cannot be seen at Frigo’s?
    A．A chalk board covered with descriptions of sandwiches
    B．Refrigerator cases full of prepared foods and desserts
    C．Shelves filled with olives and different kinds of pasta
    D．Customers eating happily around tables
    小题3:How much did the writer pay for his first meal at Frigo’s?
    A．＄4.75B．＄5.25C．＄9.74D．＄4.99
    小题4:We can infer that “Joe’s Favorite” and “Dante” are the names of        .
    A．sandwichesB．saladsC．cheeseD．peppers
    小题5:We can infer from the passage that the writer         .
    A．seldom eats out in a restaurant with his family
    B．feels very happy that be has found Frigo’s
    C．dislikes eating sandwiches
    D．lives a very relaxing life

    My mom suggested that I organize a food drive（募捐活动）in our development（新建筑宅区）and donate what I collected to a local shelter．Anything that would help finish the project seemed like a good idea, so I agreed．I made up flyers（传单）asking for donations and placed flyers at every house in my neighborhood．
